Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism
Author: Angela R. Demovic
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498531334
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
B-drinking is a strategy whereby dancers, waitresses, and otherwise legally employed women illegally solicit drinks from tourists for pay. Unique to the ethnographic literature on strip clubs, Bourbon Street, B-Drinking, and the Sexual Economy of Tourism focuses on the role of alcohol sales in the sexual economy of Bourbon Street, New Orleans. Relying on historical material, Demovic reveals that the intimate encounters B-girls have provided have been a part of the tourism service economy since the beginning of the twentieth century. The evolution of “B-girldom” as an imagined identity created through changing representations of the practice over the decades have both reflected and constructed the experiences of women working in New Orleans’ nightclubs. The B-drinker is an iconic character found in fictional and nonfictional accounts of the city. B-girls inhabit an ambiguous structural position in the performance of heritage tourism in New Orleans. Participant observation and interviews reveal that by the 1990s women who worked as B-drinkers were significant stakeholders in French Quarter tourism, able to use their informal networks to seize power over working conditions in the tourism economy of Bourbon Street. Demovic focuses on how these marginalized but critical workers have responded to stigma by creating tight knit groups which continue to support one another decades after leaving their work on Bourbon Street. This book adds the New Orleans example to a broader understanding of how sex work evolves in ways that reflect regional history and culture. Widening the ethnographic lens, Demovic looks past strip tease itself and to the economic activities of such workers when they are off the stage.

Two fake dates, one growing connection… Bailey: Not another wedding. At the last one, I was so sick of my many cousins asking why I was still single that I invented a fake boyfriend. Now I’ve got to make one materialize. Luckily my buddy Cohen needs a date to his high school reunion to make his ex jealous. He scratches my back and I scratch his. I don’t mind scratching his, by the way. He’s the hottest guy at the resort where we both work. Bad Bailey. I’m not going there. I spent the past few years pining after a guy I work with. I won’t humiliate myself like that, not again. But boy, is it tempting… Cohen: I’ve always thought Bailey was a fun, cute girl—the life of the party. My jaw drops when she walks out of the hotel room looking like a siren. I’m worried we’ll never make it downstairs to the reunion. It makes zero sense to date a co-worker. But rules have been broken before, right? I can’t let this thing with her get out of hand. I finally have the chance to start my own landscape design company with a colleague from school. But the opportunity is in Nashville, and Bailey’s here in Florida. I’m still too burned from my last relationship to let anyone in. But Bailey’s knocking at my heart, hard. I’ve just got to keep her from slipping in. Welcome to Destiny Dunes, where the only thing hotter than the Florida sun is the romance between this resort's employees. Each book in this steamy series focuses on your favorite romance tropes. Once you enter the gates of Destiny Dunes, you'll never want to leave!
