Glenn FleishmanNot an ad for sex work but for prepress
Mike J👹🐀 🤘🏻@glennf "Put it on! Put it on!"
Brian Levy@glennf I used to get a kick out of telling people I was a stripper.
@presstype An excellent profession!
Paul Chambers🚧My favorite time of the week was taking the proofs for our small weekly Sunday newspaper to the Middletown (Ohio) Journal overnight on Fridays, getting the plates made then watching the web press knock our small run out and the bundles stacking up at the end, ready to be loaded into the van.
It was a beautiful ballet to watch.
PeterA single spotlight highlights their face, the rest of the lighting doing more to obscure their naked body than show it.
As the music starts its familiar bump and grind the spotlight widens and the backlighting brightens, showing the glistening skin. They slowly, sensually dress as the music plays seductively. The lights play across their skin, highlighting features which then slowly disappear under layers of soft cloth.
The music reaches a crescendo as the last button is fastened.
The audience sits silent for a moment before errupting in cheers and riotous applause, money falling on the stage like autumn leaves.
@PeterLG bra–
vo
a work of beauty
Sam at BLAG@glennf "Night shift" too 😅
Aaron Hockley@glennf I feel like positive strippers would probably get better tips.
ninavizz@glennf RUBYLITH!!
jquilty3@glennf @jalefkowit twirling your rubylith while negative striping seems like pretty sexy work to me
Frank’s Ting@glennf brings me back to years in a darkroom in the nineties

Aaron Priven@glennf my mother found her short time working as a stripper of this type very useful for “Two Truths and a Lie”
@aaronpriven That is great! Hilarious.
@aaronpriven As far as I can tell, with few women working in printing plants (newspaper or otherwise), the job of negative/color stripper was the one most frequently occupied by them. In an offset plant I worked in after college, part of the college in fact, I believe the only woman on the printing side was in stripping; there were several others, but they worked in binding or mailing.
Karel P Kerezman@glennf My father spent a few years at a printing shop, and *never* passed up the chance to refer to himself as a "male stripper".
That joke never got young, Dad.
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@glennf rubylith was also the masking film they used for the silicon lithography processes in very early Intel processors!
@gsuberland It's pretty slick—imagine the thousands of hours cutting that stuff. I found some old illustrations of it.
