We were half way done at spring break when Sam called me, the head of the production company who was the head of the documentary died. His son was now in charge and pulled the plug on the project in the way it was meant to be. His new take was to just use the young women that were married and see how many would be interested in doing a porn as their next step. Sam told me the son had been backing a guy that made porn of girls that just turned eighteen tricking them into having sex to get them into music videos. Sam was breaking ties and told me, I should do the same.
I told Lacie what I learned and that I was quitting. Lacie asked me: "Do you know a good contract lawyer?"
I told her: "No, but Al and Kim must know someone the company uses."
She then told me: "I could be wrong, but as I read the releases that all the girls and I signed. The videos and the interviews can only be used with our final approval. That has not happened so he can not use them. But we need to act fast before he realizes it and posts them online. To use as blackmail. To get some of the girls to do what he wants."
Lacie went to talk to Kim and an hour later after Kim talked to Al and her mother. The wheels were turning to stop the videos and interviews from being used in any way. Lacie had the contact information of every girl that she and I recruited and they agreed to be party to any action that needed to be taken. I filled in Sam and he called the lawyer and the girls he recruited also were on board.
A week later the companies office was served with a restraining order and demand all documents and video connected with the production of the documentary be turned over to a third party appointed be the judge in charge of the matter. Two employees turn whistle blowers and the son was arrested for not complying to the court order and being in possession of porn of women that did not know they were recorded. He coped a plea and turned on his guy that was tricking the young girls with th promise of getting them in music videos.
Larz gave up everyone he was connected with that tracked the girls. Others also caved and it was kept out of the public eye to prevent the other girls they were trying to find from being murdered and never found. Because Larz copped a plea there was no trial.
Lacie started touring as the start of her own Burlesque review. She had seven other exotic dancers, a comedian/MC, a singer and a husband-and-wife comedy team that did skits much like Burns and Allen. Of course, I was her manager and made the bookings and travel arrangements. We traveled small town American and Canada. The dances finished wearing pasties and a G-string. Because there was no total nudity and it was like and old time Burlesque Show from the thirties through the sixties. It was very popular with couples.
Lacie would sign autographs and answer questions. What surprised her was the older women that admitted to being dancers if not exotic, to being part of a chorus line that danced in pasties, fish net bras and G-strings. Six months on the road and four teaching the art of exotic dance to girlfriends, wives and even female impersonators.
When Lacie turned twenty-one, I proposed to her while we were in Las Vagas. She accepted and I had already told her mother and grandmother I was going to do it. Thirty hours later she was surprised when we walked into the chapel to see her mother and grandmother were there.
Then a year later Covet hit and Lacie lost both her mom and grandmother. I got it and was on a vent and almost died twice, till I was strong enough to weaned off it. But I have never been the same physically and my heart wasn't strong enough to have sex. For two years Lacie took care of me, until I told her she needed to find someone. To go out and enjoy her life again, but she refused.
Financially we were ok since many of the productions I had been involved in. Were being rerun and unlike many producers, I took points instead of a higher salary/ So, I was getting residuals Plus two independent films I worked on for a percent instead off a salary had become hits. With three percent of the gross from each we had our geads above water,
When my doctor retired his replacement was a woman in her late thirties and asked Lacie why I hadn't been having physical theory and going out in the fresh air daily. DR Waren took a different approach in treating me and after two months under her care I was improving. Six months later I didn't need the oxygen generator and was feeling like I was going to be no longer a burden on Lacie.
It was time that I had a complete physical, something I hadn't had in years. Some of my blood work came back showing some issues as, did my stool sample. A Colonoscopy was ordered and several plops were removed, but the concern was my prostate. It was enlarged and I was told it may be cancerous so I went through further tests including a biopsy and cancer was ruled out. What I have is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. I needed something to help with the prostate. I was put on Tadalafil 2.5mg. When Lacie looked it up she found it is the genetic name for Cialis.
At my next appointment with DR Waren Lacie asked her about upping the does so, I would get hard enough for sex. Dr Waren told her for now Just take a second dose before we wanted to have sex, but not more than once a week till me next visit. Then it was increased to twice a week and finally my daily dose was increase to 5.0mgs. The same as is prescribed for E.D. treatment. Life for Lacie and I was back to normal and it was time for her to go back touring.
A month into the tour, a former female impersonator approached Laci about adding male burlesque dancers to her show. She took his number and told him she would talk to some of the owners of venues still on the tour and get back to him. Lacie also researched online and found there were male and female acts already in Europe and one of them also preformed here at times. The owners of the rest of the venues were ok with a mix of male and females as long as they were not on stage together disrobing.
Lacie called the guy and asked him to audition and if he had other guys that danced. He said he did and if she was interested, he could get her female impersonators as well. That is how Jacque became part of our touring company. We now offered more options for booking to different types of venues. Our group of damcers and other acts grew to the point I needed to stay haome and haldle the bookings and travel arrangements. At any one time we could have four or five events at the same time if different locations.
Shows were for the most part, Friday night, Saturday afternoon and night, and Sunday matinee. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, Lacie and Jacque ran work shops teaching the art of burlesque dance to young and older women and men. One day two couples approached them and asked if they could teach them how to do a burlesque dance as a couple. Lacie took their information and told them they would have to work out a routine and get back to them. That night Lacie asked me what I thought. I asked if they told her why they wanted to do it like that and she told me, no, she hadn't thought to ask.
