So what does this mean for one’s fantasy of being showered with large sums of money fluttering upon them? The term is called “making it rain.” Most dancers have been rain upon and it always add for a great performance. The COVID pandemic of 2020 changed many views of things, just about overnight.

One change we have all have learned is to sterilize and sanitize everything! Bottles of disinfectants, alcohol and  hand sanitizer bought off the shelf faster than it can get restocked. This virus is growing exponentially on everything!

One of the dirtiest thing on this planet is money. I’m not speaking metaphorically about dirty cash that are washed and laundered. I’m talking about the physical money we handle that is virtually a Petri dish. 

Particularly them dollar bills. George Washingtons have traveled far and wide between hands of shoppers to bums, drug dealers to drug users, and eventually finds its way into the strip clubs. By the time it gets here, it’s crumpled up, washed up, ripped up, taped up, sticky, and wet all at the same time. Smeared with food, dirt, snot, drugs, and assorted spilled liquids, a tour bus for viruses, and bacteria.

Before the pandemic, it was ok to want to be showered with money. Dancing is one of the only jobs where this kind of showmanship is a reality. I now fear the “rain.”

What if it was showering hundred dollar bills? Does that make a difference? I think so. Our minds will tell us that Benjamin Franklin is not so dirty. Seeing it rain Benjamin Franklins is a rare sight, although I have seen it rain Andrew Jacksons a few times.

I have been showered with falling U.S currency represented as rain droplets countless times during my 20 year of exotic dancing. I’m sure everyone have had dreams of this. I lived it. It’s not what’s it’s all cracked up to be. The aftermath of money falling everywhere is having to collect it. It is not very sexy to be seen on your knees trying to collect what has been thrown & rained upon you. A broom and bucket is required to collect it all. I can see how this may seem degrading to some. As a dancer, I can tell you that it never bothered me, but only empowered me, especially having counted the total precipitation. Present day, we have to worry about the tranferable deadly contagions that may spread through paper currency.

What is going to happen after this new found virus? Will it ever rain again? Is cash money now taboo? Will we be left to utilize cash apps on our phones? Maybe carry a Square Reader? Credit Cards use only? Cash Advances in exchange for ‘Club Cash’ or ‘Diamond Dollars’? IOU’s? Maybe there will special bands marking sanitized stacks. How about a money gun equipped with an interior UVC light.

In this unsure, and ever changing world, anything can happen and all seems possible.
