Hooters of the shoe-shine world--Shine Shoes At New Wall Street Shop
Scantily-Clad Women Shine Shoes At New Wall Street Shop
Irene Plagianos, DNAinfo.com
Like the Hooters of the shoe-shine world, Star Shine NYC, at 40 New St., employs beautiful, young, scantily clad women to offer a professional service — with a view.

Despite the little black shorts and tight tank tops sported by all the female employees, White said the store, which features large leather chairs and flat-screen TVs, is meant to have a classy atmosphere. White also hopes to start serving beer and wine in the store in the next couple of months.
“All the young ladies have undergone professional training — this is an upscale place,†White said. “Many of the women are students or just out of college. Even my sister, a college student, is working there.â€
The store's location, on a short, narrow street between Exchange Place and Beaver Street, doesn’t get lots of foot traffic, but White said word of mouth, along with the women passing out fliers on Wall Street in their uniforms, has been drumming up business.

2. And people say Feminists are outdated and no longer needed.
Those men are scumbags.
Matt? Mr. Dorkio is going to be jealous of you horning your way into his spot as the DU feminists' official male mascot.

I would never have done that kind of degrading work
"Gals"? And really, this sort of "degrading work" should be reserved for illegal immigrants and little black boys! *sniff*

30. THIS.
It's about class sexism.
BTW, are there any scantily-dressed men performing the same act for the women and gay males on Wall Street? No? The hell you say!
The fact that there isn't proves the sexism. The pictures shows the class warfare.
If there was a market for it I'm sure someone would try to fill it. It is New York, after all.
BTW, do women, outside of a few Brogan-wearing dykes, get their shoes shined? I don't think most women's styles lend themselves well to this process. Besides, most women I know who get their shoes scuffed throw them out and get another pair. :wink:

What do you know. I was nadining for shoeshine businesses just the other day.
Hope it spreads across the country.
The main reason that the DUmp frumps are moaning is that they are sexy enough to get a job where good look are required.

28. Yes, god forbid someone have a different opinion.
I guess that just means they want attention?

38. Enough of this "degradation" indignation.
I wonder if the people who are so offended by this even understand that, well basically forever, this work was expected to be performed by black "Shoe Shine Boys".
Where was the indignation about that? Frankly I find this "one issue indignation" to be tiresome. If this job is degrading, then we should give all the victims the same consideration. It didn't become degrading once attractive young women decided to do it. And one might just consider the possibility that some of the practitioners actually enjoy the job and would prefer that to sitting at a desk all day pushing paper around or cleaning people's teeth.
Believe it or not, I actually know a few women who enjoy attention -- even seek it out, if you can believe that.
Really? my Dad and his Brother who were Eye-rish and Eye-talian used to do that to earn money, as did other kids in the neighborhood.

I am not surprised by the DUmmies being outraged over this. Getting a shoeshine is an act that is beyond their comprehension. They are a bunch of lowlifes that surely have never owned a quality pair of shoes in their lives. Their idea of a good shoe is finding a slightly worn pair of sneakers at Goodwill. DUmmies, quality leather shoes have to be maintained not only for appearances sake but to extend their life as well. This is honorable work--another reason the DUmmies just wouldn't understand.

Please tell me you are not using this phrase in the same context as the DUmmies. There is no such thing as a "sex worker", it's another made up, libtard phrase like "undocumented worker".

No, I was thinking about the other DUmp thread here about "sex workers"

So grown women shining shoes is degrading...but announcing that you've raised your daughter to be a sex worker is celebrated?

Well to be fair to the DUmmies, any honest living is degrading and beneath them. Sex "work" is right up their alley, it's pay for not doing any real work.

One thing that's odd about that thread is the idea many of them seem to have that shoeshining was somehow invented just to create a demeaning job for blacks - something that white people could lord over them in a "power dynamic".
In larger cities, with perhaps the exceptions of centralized areas like train stations and uptown shopping areas, shoeshining was performed by by whatever ethnicity was common to the area. In Italian neighborhoods it was done by Italian "shoeshine boys", in Irish areas it was the Irish, in Chinatown the Chinese, and so forth.
In smaller towns blacks did more shoeshining because they did more menial jobs in general. Field work, ditch digging, common labor, etc. In the Sixties as more and more jobs opened up to Blacks they moved out of those positions into better opportunities and more lower-educated whites began to fill the vacuum. In 1970 I began picking tobacco in the summer, a job that was almost exclusively relegated to blacks a decade before. Blacks did it not because of some conspiracy among white farmers to demean them, but because that was all that was available and they were willing to work cheap. My white friends and I did it because we wanted to earn some money over the summer. Too bad we didn't have some well-fed Northern liberal to tell us how "demeaning" the job was that we were doing simply because Blacks were the main ones doing it before.
The point is, there is no honest, wholesome work that is in and of itself demeaning. It's the person that demeans, not the work. I'd be willing to bet that some of the more well-heeled DUmmy womyn have no problem at all going into a spa and letting Conchita pedicure their stinky, fungus-nailed feet. ****ing hypocrites.

Did those Feminazis have their feelings hurt again? Frankly, I am sick of handing out these forms.

How odd, the picture didn't show the women doing the shoeshining having a gun aimed at their back.
So much for feminism, criticizing other women's choices.
I think these are man haters, not true feminists.

I smiled at that, too.
"between Exchange Place and Beaver Street" is the perfect location for a Hooters-style shoeshine shop. Couldn't ask for better marketing.

So, how soon will a wymns group sue and "save" these poor wymn from this demeaning job and their hard earned cash?

If they become out and out pole smokers for money then it will be okay. That is what makes them proud.
