Montreal's freelance nightlclubbers

  Here's some entertaining local sociology mixed with crafty business strategy: nightclubs need people and have found that welcoming some wild party girls goes a long way to bringing a crowd.
  Y'see, a club owner wants to fill up a hall and swell so he needs a gimmick to draw people in.
  He could hire some famous musician or DJ but that would be costly.

   Unlike live band cities like Toronto, Montreal has also been a disco city, which means the folks on the floor are the stars, not some goof up on a stage.
   That's where these professional nightclubbers come in.
  These women - generally unpaid, but don't expect them to open their purses to actually pay for anything themselves -- show up and vamp around, pose, dance on platforms, show skin or cleavage and act in a highly noticeable way.
  Their nightclub antics are photographed and put on the internet, which is new considering that I don't think I ever once saw a camera snapping inside nightclubs during my era.
  One excellent collection of this local nightclub culture that might be useful to anthropologists is held on the Le Homard Club Photography Facebook site which chronicles amazingly fantastic non-stop great times had in over 200 parties, with nearly 100 photosnaps of revelers at each party.
   So nightclubbing has become a Facebook tag-op and the habitues get seen in many photos all over, thereby ensuring their social success and possibility of being invited to negotiate their attendance at another gig.

 There are too many of these nightclub attractions, (some hired for the occasion, others full-time waitresses) to name here but I'll drop a few names nonetheless, Julie Charbonneau, Genevieve Sugar Lafrance, Mary Lisa, Julia Garofalo, Lisa Masse, Tasha Monet Jackson, Emilie Bellefleur, Elena St. Arnaud, Sherlyn Normandeau, Sabrina Lavoie, Marilyne Moreau, Melissa Beauchesne, Katrine Losier, Mona Wild, Jessica Huard, Christine St. Amand, Yasmina Ibrahim, Melanie Bergeron, Cleo Patre, Boukou Diamond, Claudia Lariviere, Melissa Lamarche, Isabelle Goudreau, nd Candy Gyal.

  In many cases, special themed-events are contrived to bring some structure to an evening otherwise spent watching people dance around, and include often such stuff as a boxing match between two dolled up bimbos, best butt competitions and so forth.

Now some of these party girls are living on the edge, others are serious students simply trying to get through school; some are strippers, some are barmaids (a subtle social hierarchy that reminds me of a Disney cartoon where the main characters are animals which own pets that are also animals). But all of them are exhibitionists, providing a show which others can peer in on, although I'm not sure how much they actually mingle or interact with normal clubgoers.
  I would love to hear from somebody with some deeper expertise into this phenomenon concerning what motivates these young ladies to come out to these events, drop me a note.
