1970s Carnival Dancers
In the 1970s photographer Susan Meiselas followed carnivals around New England, taking photos of their striptease dancers. (It’s my impression of the times that the relative ratios of “strip” and “tease” probably varied with the jurisdiction where the carnival found itself.)

On a long-term temp assignment at the Maryland Department of Education, I worked with a woman who had an illegitimate child by a carnival worker.

You needn’t ever tell them,
nor pass it off as a joke
That you got drilled in a sentry box
wrapped up in a soldier’s cloke
Still, she had a full time job with health insurance, much better than the ladies on the stage.
