In the Land of the Vikings

I chose this title because here actually funny but I'm experiencing the feminist side of Iceland. At least in the club.. I've heard before that the feminist movements are strong here and Iceland has had the first openly lesbian prime minister.
So I'm not surprised when local customers (we have lots of tourist but they don't ask such questions) ask me if I'm forced to do this job. It seems here in this country even harder to believe that a girl like me choose a job like dancing naked and we have nothing to do with prostitution or human trafficking. Actually in Iceland nudity is not allowed by law inside the club, we don't have a stage for topless shows and during the private dance, I have to keep all my clothes on. It's more of a champagne club where you buy champagne for the girls and pay for their time spent with you. But it seems the government brainwashed the people here and in public opinion, every club is a whorehouse. That was the reason why the police investigated our club in the past but found nothing. (I've heard that was quite a bad reputation for them and it has been in newspapers that they spent thousands of Euros from the taxpayer's money buying champagne and private time for the girls just to find single evidence.) But some other clubs have been closed down.

    1. Winter can be cold and depressing here. 10am is still dark, 5pm is already dark. But on the winter I would rather go somewhere tropical ;)
