Name: Erika A.
Job: Bartender at Crabbby Kim’s Bikini Sports Bar
Years on job: 1 1/2
Pay: $400 to $500 a day
Q. What’s it like to wear a bikini year-round in a sports bar?
A. It’s fun, it’s different. And it’s more than I wear at my other job, where I work as an exotic dancer.
Q. How do you feel about those first-timers ogling you?
A. Actually, it doesn’t bother me. And it doesn’t really stop — I catch regulars checking me out all the time.
Q. Since you wear a bikini year-round, what do you wear to the beach?
A. I never go to the beach! I’m way too pale to be in that bright sun.
Q. Okay, so what’s with all those Bs in Crabbby Kim’s?
A. It was an accident, really it was. Someone accidentally put three Bs on an order of matchbooks, and the spelling just stuck.
Q. What’s the likelihood of getting some male bartenders to parade around for female customers?
A. That’s actually in the works. We’re thinking about starting a ladies’ night and hiring some buff guys in tank shirts and little shorts — no Speedos — to pour drinks. It’ll probably go over really well.
