A bargirl is a woman who works as a hostess or dancer in bars to provide company or sexual services to patrons; the exact nature of services and varieties of bar varying by country/region. In most cases, these cater mostly to male clients, although in some cases women are also clients. Variants on the term include "B-girl^[1]," "juicy girl" and "guest relations officer."

These kinds of bars include hostess bars (primarily in East Asia, but also elsewhere), go-go bars and "beer bars" (Southeast Asia), dance bars (India), and while the term "bargirl" is not used, the basic form is similar in some other areas such as the boliches of Argentina.

Note that this term should not be confused with a barmaid, who serves drinks in a bar but is not expected to entertain customers personally or provide sexual services. Many bars that employ bargirls will have additional service staff, who may be of either sex.

Associations[link]

The term is often associated with some Southeast Asian countries (especially Thailand and the Philippines) where many (but not all) bargirls also act as prostitutes, either on-site (effectively a brothel) or by being available to be bar fined (see below).

Bargirls sometimes get a commission on drinks bought by their customers and a percentage of the escort fee ("bar fine") paid by any customer who wishes to take them out of the bar. In other cases, they may have a periodic quota of drinks or bar fines, or both.

In addition to entertaining customers individually, many bargirls work in go-go bars where are also expected to dance on stage, often in skimpy costumes (such as bikinis), semi-nude or nude.

Bar fine[link]

A bar fine (sometimes written as "barfine" or "bar-fine"), is the payment made by a customer to the operators of a bar (particularly hostess bars or go-go bars) that allows a dancer or hostess or some other employee of that bar to leave work early, usually in order to accompany the customer outside the bar. A bar fine may also be required in order to take the employee to a more secluded part of the same establishment, such as a short-time room.

Although it is not universal, this practice is very frequently associated with prostitution - especially in South-east Asian countries such as Thailand and the Philippines. The bar fine amount and whether sexual services are included in the bar fine or have to be negotiated separately are both subject to local custom.

It is also a standard feature of dockside nightclubs in South Africa^{[citation needed]} that cater to foreign seamen.

Bar fines also make an appearance in Latin countries in the form of a Salida (Spanish: exit fee); in some other venues, such as boliches in Argentina, there can be a similar requirement to buy the lady a number of drinks before she leaves.

Prostitution[link]

Where bargirls act as prostitutes, patterns vary widely: regionally, between bars and also just on individual preference. Some will seek to have as many customers as possible in a given day, like many prostitutes in the west; these women will generally only take "short-time" clients. Others will be more selective and only accept one customer in a day, taking "long-time" customers overnight or even for a few days following.

In some cases, the cost of a bar fine is fixed; in others, the cost of a "long-time" bar fine is higher than of a "short-time" one.

A payment over and above the bar fine may or may not be expected; this varies nationally (payment for sexual services is almost always separate from the bar fine in Thailand), and by the length of time the bargirl spends (it is generally customary for "long time" but not for "short time" in the Philippines.) When it is paid separately from the bar fine, this additional payment is usually referred to as a "tip" or a "gift."

Conditions[link]

Working conditions vary highly both between and within countries; even within individual countries, conditions can vary highly between venues - for example, within the single red-light district adjacent to Pattaya Beach, Thailand some classes of bars employ women who are relatively well-paid and live independently from the bar, while others will employ lower-paid women who live in rooms on site in conditions only a little better than the indentures seen at outright brothels.

Individuals working as prostitutes are vulnerable to violence (including rape and murder) and to sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.^[2]

Legal issues[link]

In some countries prostitution is treated as a serious crime; in the Philippines it is covered by the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.^[3] In Thailand, and in many other countries where bar fine prostitution is common, it is technically illegal but widely tolerated.^{[citation needed]}

In respect of American soldiers, the purchase of a bar fine has been prohibited by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, making it an offense considered equal to buying the services of a prostitute.

Personal and early life[link]

He was educated at St Bede's College, Mentone, where he was the dux of the school in 1995. He undertook a Bachelor of Arts at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, graduating in 2001.

Eddie is married to Lucy Cochran and has two daughters, Kitty and Lottie Lux Perfect.^[5][6]

Career[link]

Known for his political comedy, he has appeared on Australian TV shows including Kath and Kim, Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, Stingers, Blue Heelers, MDA, The Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala and The Sideshow.^[1] Perfect released the solo albums Welcome to the Inside of Ed's Head and Angry Eddie, which was released after his appearance on the anti-Howard Government compilation Rock Against Howard. He was awarded the best entertainer in The Bulletin's Brightest 100 Australians^[7] for his caustic lyrics, impeccable timing and "boy-next-door looks".

Perfect has appeared in live stage shows including The Big Con with veteran Australian actor and impersonator Max Gillies in 2005, and his solo show Drink Pepsi, Bitch!, which satirised Australian politics and society and consumer culture. "Drink Pepsi, Bitch!" toured the Edinburgh Fringe, London's Menier Chocolate Factory, the Auckland Festival, the Christchurch Festival, Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre,^[8][9] the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and Sydney 'Cracker' Comedy Festival, although he was obliged to censor the show's title (which was amended to Drink Eddie^TM Bitch!^[10]) for his season at the Sydney Opera House due to the fact that the beverage company named in the title is a principal sponsor of the venue.

In 2007, Perfect appeared in Keating! the Musical playing several characters, including a parody of former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Downer.

In 2008, Perfect wrote Shane Warne: The Musical, a satire based on the life and exploits of Australian test cricketer Shane Warne.^[6][11] The musical had a workshop showing at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival on 17 July 2007 and the piece underwent further workshopping in early 2008 culminating in five work-in-progress showings at The Hi-Fi Bar and Ballroom as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Shane Warne The Musical premiered at the Melbourne Athenaeum theatre on 10 December 2008 before embarking on a national tour. In 2009 the musical received the Helpmann Award for Best New Australian Work,^[2] the Green Room Award and the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award.^[4]

In November 2009, he hosted the Inside Film Awards at Sydney's Luna Park. In 2010, he performed Songs from the Middle, a series of songs inspired by Perfect's childhood in Mentone, Victoria.^[12] He also played the lead role of Mack the Knife in The Threepenny Opera at the Malthouse Theatre Melbourne. In 2011 he played the same role with the Sydney Theatre Company's production of The Threepenny Opera. He hosted^[6] FOX8's Ultimate School Musical, which he also directed.^[4] Later in the year he played the role of Mick Holland in Channel Ten's Offspring comedy drama series.^[1] He also presented an award at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards.^[13]

His solo show Misanthropology premiered at the Spiegeltent, in January 2011, as part of the Sydney Festival.^[14][15] Mingling satire and homage, with Perfect's arrangements for a three-piece band, Perfect wanted to provide "a kind of social autopsy [of our] cultural rituals."^[14] In targeting eco-tourists, self-righteous cyclists, and others including Barrie Kosky,^[16] Perfect tried to examine "the qualities that have driven our evolution, such as the urge to conquer and compete, and the urge to procreate, trip us up and reveal us as the animals we really are."^[17] Perfect said of the show: "Tonight I invite you to laugh and think and question humanity in all of its wondrous idiocy. Remember, healthy, cynical self-reflection is what separates us from Kyle Sandilands."^[18]
