I Was a Topless Bartender

topless bartending is always interesting.
i miss the real life stories about the johns and the misshaps and everything.

but with all that, i still think youre better than belle du jour.

Were you a good bartender?

The Sexologist said...

From hooking to topless bartender? Are you going soft on us? =) Yea, I would not be able to go topless because I love candy too much.

Unbroken said...

Great story! Nice to know you have other talents to fall back on until you finish college.

Are you endowed with any other talents that you can share with us?

Oh how I've missed you CCG! Though I'm a hypocrit, I've been slacking too.

Was it frustrating getting $200 for all that hard work when you're used to so much more for less effort and time?

And of course, the question on everyone's mind... what were you wearing on the bottom?

From the article:
If my tits are hanging out, I want to be talking about them, not making small talk about what we do for a living.

I find this really interesting because of what I saw happen with some other women who like showing off their bodies: SuicideGirls. Stay with me. I promise there's a point. :)

I had a subscription to SG for quite a while (more than a year). Occasionally, a girl in a particular set of pictures would strike me as particularly beautiful... enough so that I felt compelled to leave a comment on the set.

In an absolute sea of thumbs-up autoresponses and piles of "Nice tits!", my comments always stood out. I actually talked about what I liked about several of the shots. I was specific but (I believe) respectful. Honestly, it was usually the smile and the eyes that made the difference for me, but I also made comments like, "Your breasts look beautiful in profile like that" when I truly thought so. I also always made sure to thank the model for sharing the pictures with us.

It surprised me that I never got a response. Ever. The brain-dead catcalling would get "Thank You!", but I never heard a peep.

So, I realize it's SuicideGirls, but I was always curious why I never got even one comment in reply. My working assumption became that the detail and time put into the comments made the girls uncomfortable, even if I was being more respectful. I probably came across as creepy (when actually, I'm pretty damned harmless).

Anyway, I know it's a different situation, but I just find it interesting to hear a woman talk about wanting people to talk to her about her body.

By the way, thank you for sharing your July 4 experience with us. ;)

Great story, really caught my attention on a positive inspiring way.

I betcha no one even noticed the quality of bartending.

It's funny, I work topless all day, but would feel funny doing other stuff like bartending or carwashing.

Steve said...

I wish I had been there. I would have tipped properly.

I am, however, not sure I would have realized that it was appropriate to praise the breasts, unless I happened to overhear someone else's comments and see your reaction.

Was anyone other than "sex grandpa" aware of your other line of work?

Take Back the Night said...

You should go out and buy your boobs a nice silky bra for their share in the tips.

jp said...

whats really funny is that i saw the article on digg. and then a few minutes later i thought to myself, i should check collegecallgirl, its been awhile.

holy crap!

sixteensecrets said...

Hmmm. My fear would be the perky nipple thing/

The Renaissance Man said...

CJ, the true alcoholics will always care about the quality of the bartending.

viennacantabile said...

btw, a respectful and possibly unnecessary heads-up: i know you like your anonymity, so i just wanted to let you know, in case you didn't, that the poster's name is listed on that article page.

..of course, it's entirely possible that you posted under a pseudonym, in which case, congrats for laying the red herring. :D

Henrietta Hussy said...

when am I going to hit puberty and get boobs so I can do stuff like titty fuck and topless bartending!

Athena said...

I got asked to be a topless bartender once, I turned it down, but it's something I've always been curious about. How long was the party?

Faust XIII said...

so... who's Emma Lee ? :)

Shaina said...

Thank goodness for your blog, lady! Your writing is so interesting and captivating. Bravo!

The Neoskeptic said...

pictures or it didn't happen ;-)

barmaidblog said...

Boy, I definitely don't know if I'd have the guts to do that. And I don't even have huge boobs.

garage66 said...

Did everyone look and not touch?
What are the rules about that,if you're going to bartend topless?
Did you try to put a bottle between your breasts to cool off?
I don't know why I asked,that's what I would do. Just for fun to see how it would look,and feel.
Maybe you would have gotten more money from letting people take shots from your cleavage.
If I didn't see the tip jar moving enough,that would have been my cue to try more crazy things out like that,especially while they're drinking.

Confessions of a Born Procrastinator said...

not the kind of blog i ever thought i did be posting on, but, what can I say - you have a flair for writing [:D]
Let me know if you ever publish a book [:)]

NotAndersonCooper said...

@holden: I like all her adventures!

Daisy said...

Sweet. I dated a topless bartender once, not too long ago.

care for a link ex?

Molly Crabapple said...

Man, I wish I had my wits about me enough when I was in the nekkid modeling business to have a blog half as good as yours. All I have left is a smattering of pretentious essays, with no Radar clips to be found.

My friend recommended me a very interesting place ☆☆☆ AffluentMeet.Com ☆☆☆ It's a great place for romancing with with the rich & celeb....

Mike Valentino said...

Boobs are wonderful.

Cielo Gold said...

I could not imagine bartending topless. Kudos to you. Usually by the end of my shift, I am sweaty and my arms are covered with sticky (remnants of various cocktails I have made and served over the night). I don't know how I would feel if my chest were as sticky as my arms.

I always tell people that bartending is 10% drinks and 90% personality, but I think with topless bartending, that gets thrown out the window!!

H said...

It's amazing how similar you are to my G... or maybe just how easy the path leading to these jobs is (which is probably closer to the truth, but a lot sadder to consider).

Except she did it the other way around, which looks a bit more normal.

She used to work as an (underage... WAY underage) barmaid at first, then obviously made the shift to topless barmaid, then to stripper and finally to escort.
