Bikinimom you look like a classy women, but not like a dancer just mho. Around here dancers are like 19-28 years old and then they retire or move on to prostitution...
Believe me, it isn't like it is my life's aspiration or anything like that. If ANYONE had told me that I would be paying our bills like this I would have said, "Yea, OK." and rolled my eyes. But, FOR NOW, it will do... though this year I have decided and am working TO QUIT as soon as I am financially able to.
I was not forced to dance. I do it BECAUSE I CAN and as much shit as I take both on the job and here and in real life because of it, there is no other way for me to earn the money that I do (which is NOTHING LIKE what it was back in the day as people still think it is) and still take care of my children, my household and work on other projects that will allow me to quit this bullshit job and take care of us using my TALENT and MY MIND as opposed to just my smile and my body (No, I am not talking about sex

). I got into it knowing that it was only temporary until I was able to find a better and more permanent way to take care of us WITHOUT A MAN.
I AM CLASSY. Sorry, if there are those of you who think that dancing in a tiny thong bikini and 7" heels means that I am a prostitute. You are entitled to your opinion. But for those of you who actually came to a club where I work and saw firsthand what I do, you would realize that is HARDLY reality. I do not lay on my back. I do not spread my legs. Is it provocative? YES. But it is ADULT ENTERTAINMENT in an establishment where one *is supposed to be* of adult age.
I am 35 years old but NO ONE EVER guesses, not even the girls who see me naked with no makeup in the dressing room. So far with extremely rare exceptions I have the tightest hardest ass, one of the nicest physiques and THE BEST attitude (meaning I ALWAYS SMILE and am lighthearted and joking w/the customers) of any of the girls.... until an ASSHOLE pisses me off. It is then when I will take a dollar AND GIVE IT TO THEM usually with a few choice words that are guaranteed to ruin THAT ASSHOLE'S evening.
No one is allowed to degrade me.
And ironically enough before I actually began dancing last year I though THE SAME THINGS THAT A LOT OF YOU THOUGHT - ALL DANCERS ARE FUCKED UP WHORES WHO WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR AND MAKE TONS OF CASH THAT THEY PUT UP THEIR NOSES. I am not saying that these girls do not exist or that they are not even in the majoirty, BUT I have met many (No, I do not socialize with my co-workers.) that are anything BUT THAT.
So it's all good.
