How are you today; how are you feeling about your zine release?
I’m so happy and a little sad! I swear this zine is all anyone has heard me talk about for the last few months. There was so much work that went into every aspect of it, from shooting all the photos to designing the layout. I’m a little sad it’s over.
What does the title Sunny Sapphire mean to you?
My dancer name is Sunny. And whenever someone really good comes into the club I'll give them my number and put "Sunny Sapphire" in their contacts.
How important is it to you to portray dancers through the female gaze?
Our whole job is centered around pleasing men, like strip clubs have rules for the dancers — nails done, hair done, makeup done. But I think women always appreciate each other a little more. We notice the lashes, the sparkly highlighter, and the little details in each others' outfits. So I just wanted to capture that in a cute way. It’s almost like a girly yearbook.
