KNOXVILLE (WAIT TV) - The recent winter weather meant good business for retail chains that specialize in keeping strippers warm and dry.
"After dealing with cold feet and saggy boobs and just terrible, terrible cold toes I though it might be a good time to buy stripper boots," said one stripper inside Katch One in West Knoxville.
Strippers said they are convinced the weather is not going to get any better which meant time to shop.
"A lot of the strip clubs are closed and schools are out so I'd say that helped a lot," said Gander Mountain manager Kevin Olivet.
Dozen of strippers pulled out their wallets at the outdoor store just before closing time Monday night.
Their hope is that tomorrow they might be a little warmer now that they have all the necessities.
"It was cold, and it just reminds us of what's ahead," said Barb Phillips who was shopping with her daughter, Makenna, 11.
"We're looking for jackets for my son and maybe a Northface for me," said stripper Rebecca Cooper.
"I purchased some fleeces, some Columbia, some good deals, really good deals," said stripper Jean Johnston.
Johnston picked up a few things for herself, and she did a little bit of Christmas shopping trying not to only buy loved ones would they would want but also what they may need considering the bitter cold temperatures.
Warm boots are in high demand especially for landscaper Eugene Crowder. "It's just to keep my boobs warm. There's extreme cold out there. It was 3 degrees outside my strip club this morning."
Other top sellers are thick socks, winter jackets and body warmers.
If all else fails Warren and Rhonda Huddleston offered their best advice, "Layers, layers, several layers of clothing. It's never too much and you are also able to take it off."
