Butterfly

his is the story of Butterfly, a 19 year stripper who has a unique effect on people—the uncanny ability to command the attention of anyone in her presence. “When I’m dancing I like to be the center of attention,” she admits. “Everything about me is glamorous.” But her Butterfly Effect doesn’t end there. When she flaps her wings, it won’t cause a tidal wave on the other side of the world, or even the club for that matter, but it will cause a monsoon all around the supple stripper. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Butterfly moved to Atlanta at the age of 5. She remembers herself being a shy girl for several years before finally realizing her true personality in high school. “I’m a pretty wild person,” says the caterpillar that cocooned into the blossoming Butterfly. “I just like to have fun.” And five nights a week, “fun” for Butterfly includes dancing naked on stage with several of her coworkers. According to the Indian and Jamaican combination, watching her at work is not your typical strip club experience. “Dancing is something I’m just naturally good at. There’s nothing challenging about it for me,” she says. Though she’s only been dancing for 8 months, her personality has led her to become a fan favorite among the Strokers clientele. “I chose the name ‘Butterfly’ because it means ‘life,’ and I’m full of it,” she says. Eventually, Butterfly has plans of entrepreneur endeavors, all of which include large amounts of money. “I’m just trying to get paid,” she says. And though she intends to one day be swimming in money, for now she does the butterfly stroke in the stacks of cash that come from the club.
