Colt 45 and her twin cannons
The girl who became Colt 45 was unloading clothes and boxes at K-Mart and waitressing at a restaurant called El Chico's in Corpus Christi, Texas before she became Colt 45. She became one of the most-popular exotic dancers of the 1990s, popular with the readers and with her fellow strippers. About that K-Mart job: "I loved doing it. But, the waiters at El Chico's, most of whom were gay, would tell me all the time, 'Girl, with your body you need to be a dancer.' They got me drunk on beer, took me to a gay bar and I danced for women. I figured, because they had the same things I did, it was okay. I was very shy then. My friends told me I was passing up $20 bills because I was too drunk to see them. Four months later, some friends had a traveling show, and I tried it." And that was how Colt 45 began. She generally kept a low profile, did the big-tit strip club circuit like the other girls, photo-modeled every now and then in London, didn't do many videos and was in general, a low-key, soft-spoken woman.
