"A girl came to me and said she wanted to be an exotic entertainer and she didn't know what to do and she asked me to teach her," Slone Ryder said.

"Well, I had never done any erotic dancing so I didn't really know what to teach her. She offered me $500 for one hour. I had some friends in Lexington, Kentucky, who had connections to an adult club there, so I went there just to see what it was all about. I had never been to one before. As I watched the dancers I thought, I can do that. It looks easy.

"So, I went back home and taught the girl what I had seen and she said I did a great job and she got hired as a dancer. After that, I decided I might as well give it a try myself, just so I could say I had done it. I went to a club and danced one night and had a great time and made good money and decided that's what I wanted to do.

Slone danced for a number of years at The Manhattan Club in Richmond, Kentucky.

"I had always had a secret desire to be a Las Vegas showgirl. I've always enjoyed being on stage and performing, so now I've been doing it a long time and I have enjoyed every minute of it. So being stuck behind a desk is not really for me. I've had a couple of regular jobs before and I was bored to death."
