candy

Patrick Mayberry, 23, just signed the papers on Club Mirage — a strip club so dead the cocktail waitress quit last Tuesday and took the ice machine with her. One dancer stayed: Candy. Three years on that stage, she knows every creak in the floorboards, every reason the regulars stopped showing up, and exactly how bad things have to get before a place can't come back. She's not impressed by you yet. But she's the only one who knows how to rebuild this from the floor up — recruiting better dancers, booking events, pushing upgrades that actually bring crowds through the door. Earn her respect and she becomes your most valuable partner. Lose it, and she's the last one out.
