Today I am very lucky
and happy to be joined by Jenny Cartwright the main character in ‘Stripper of
the Yard’ and she has agreed to answer a few questions for us.
Jo
Jenner (JJ): Good Morning Jenny. Great to see you
here today.
Jenny
Cartwright (JC): Thank you for asking me Jo although I
can’t see why you want to interview me.
JJ
:
How like you Jenny. The folks at home would just like to get to know you a
little more, so how about we start by you telling us a little about yourself.
JC:
Okay. My name as you know is Jenny Cartwright, I am 35 years old and I work at
the Blue Lagoon Gentlemen’s Club.
JJ:
And what do you do there?
JC:
I am one of the strippers. I used to be a waitress but you get better tips and
touched up less as one of the dancers, so I moved over as soon as I could.
JJ:
What type of establishment is The Blue Lagoon Gentlemen’s Club?
JC:
It’s an old fashioned back alley strip club in the centre of Nottingham.
JJ:
How did you end up there?
JC:
It’s a long story, which will be partially revealed in the book, but let me
just say I was brought up in Nottingham and once I left care there wasn’t
really anything else I knew how to do. I started behind the bar and things just
progressed from there.
JJ:
Why don’t you tell us about some of the other people you work with?
JC:
Of course. First of all there’s Mike. He owns the club and is just great. He
has helped a lot of the girls and makes sure we keep a clean club and all the
girls are safe.
In fact he won one of
my best friends in a poker match. Blossom had got herself into a lot of trouble
in her teenage years. She was very lucky that Mike found her when he did.
JJ:
Mike’s not the only one who’s helped some of the girls get out of trouble is
he?
JC:
I have been involved in helping women who are victims of domestic violence.
Sometimes they just need a friendly face and sometimes they need to know where
to go to get help. I met Mindy, another one of the girls, while I was visiting
a victim of domestic violence. Mindy is a wonderful girl and she works with me
now.
JJ:
Is there anyone else special in the club?
JC:
Yes. There’s Carly. She’s a student doctor and she works with us to help pay
off her student debts. She has a very different back ground to the rest of us,
but she gelled with the group real well, and is now a key member of our group.
JJ:
I think that’s all we’ve got time for today. Thank you for coming in to see us.
JC:
My pleasure. I hope to see you all again at the Stripper of the Yard launch party on 3rd August
