How Valerie Stunning used her career as a stripper to inspire her ice cream business (Via EaterVegas)

The ice cream cart is gold. Standing around it, giddy strangers pop glitter-covered cherries into each other’s mouths, order flavors with names likeand take part in a peep show-inspired photo booth experience called Creamery Confessionals.

Now here’s the long version. Stunning says that this one little ice cream cart is the culmination of all of the major influences on her life — stripping, burlesque dance, costume design, community organizing, travel, and a lifelong love of vintage erotica — embodied in one little gold ice cream cart.

“Sex work can be isolating,” she says. “The people in your life who love and support you but aren’t sex workers don’t understand why you’re burnt out or why you do the work. It’s hard to explain that, and it’s a conversation you eventually stop wanting to have. When I got to Vegas, that started to really settle in.”
