Mine is--I am super addicted to her.
Is yours?
Mine is too ... she's a bad ass bitch that takes shit from no one ever ... :)
^yay!!
Not really. Just a different aspect of my personality that can only really come out in the strip club.
Haha yeah, I'd call her an alter ego. She's definitely not "me"... she's more bitchy and sexual, and less intelligent. LOL. She's like my dumbed-down, baby-voiced evil twin. ;)
Different aspect of my own personality.
During the very brief time (6 weeks) that I appeared on stage professionally as a tap dancer (I never stripped--I don't have the courage!), I know that I was playing a different character in the show from my own everyday personality.
The "dancer" was happier, more outgoing--a friendly, non-dominating but strong extrovert. I liked her, and she was (and still is!) a part of my total personality.
Off stage, in "real life," a more relaxed part of my personality is my "everyday" self--a lot calmer, a lot more approachable, much more relaxed!
Yes! She actually likes men.
^LOL!! Aside from this, my dancer persona is just meneith certain personality traits enhanced and some muted. I never really worked hard to keep them separate. I am open about what I do. Plus my personality is pretty naturally good at hustling. Never did have the jeckyll Hyde complex that so many dancers harbor.
I'd say so. Growing up I've always been reserved and introverted. To this day I'm still reserved but more confident. I've balanced myself out. In the club I am more witty and extroverted.
Just out of curiosity...whatcha doin on a stripper forum website if your not and have never been/will be a stripper?
I only ask because this is the second post of yours I've come across where you've pointed out that... you've never had the courage to strip but tap-danced. Not being rude but I'm SURE there are tap dancing forums :)
Anywho....alter ego. Nah it's pretty much me just intensified. And in higher heels/less clothes.
I don't really change my personality as much as I play up my good qualities and minimize my "bad" qualities.
It would be cool to have a total femme fatale alter ego but I'm pretty much just a sweeter version of myself.
I've always just been me in and out of the club. This go around dancing I looked back though and realized how safe I always played it with my look and personality in the club. I'm working on bringing out the more outlandish sides of me in the club. I may even buy animal print lol. So it never was my alter-ego, but I'm going that direction now.
My stripper persona is a total act. I am a super boring nerd in real life. I am interested in learning about politics, history, psychology, spirituality and economics. I could care less about the party life. But... I used to be really wild. I just think of how I used to be and make up stuff on top of that.
Stripper me: Total extrovert, outgoing, confident, flirts with anyone and everyone. Center of attention and a wild party girl. Also tells many wild sex and drug stories and talks of how she strips in normal nightclubs and goes home with strangers all the time.
Real me: usually in front of a computer or curled up with a book - don't even like walking around my own house naked. Rarely go out and when I do god help any guy that tries to hit on me.
Little bits of stripper me have seeped through to real me - mainly the confidence so a positive thing.
I really have to "girly" up my stripper self, I could easily go with out her. In reality I'm a tomboy.
Not at all - stripping changed me IRL but I'm the same at work or out.
I'd say the "stripper" me is a little bit more slutty and hints about how she likes crazy sadomasochistic sex with random strangers.
The real me goes home to her boyfriend every night and plays video games with him.
Having an alter ego helped me deal with the industry.
My stripper self: Slutty, takes no shit from anyone, wild, and is man crazy.
My real self: Very sexually conservative and modest, shy, loves a certain type of man (usually the types that would never go to clubs), and always feels funny defending myself unless needed.
^That is so true, Kellydancer^^
In all honesty, it is so awesome that we have the option to be an enhanced/altered version of ourselves at work. Yet another reason this is such a neat job=)

Hi! I don't think your question is rude at all; in fact, it's a very valid one.
IMHO, all dancers/retired dancers/wannabe dancers have a lot in common. There's the daily workout and classes to stay in condition, practice or rehearsal, performances, auditions, etc.
There's a lot that a tap dancer and an exotic dancer don't have in common. I guess the most important thing is the economics of the two situations. For the one show in which I was a professional tap dancer, I received a very modest paycheck from the theatre company; exotic dancers are independent contractors.
I guess I just wanted to participate as much as possible; I feel that I have some thoughts to contribute on some topics. I just wanted to make it clear that I'm far from an expert on strip clubs.
Just wanted to let you ladies know where I'm coming from; no harm intended at all. :)

I could have written this, except I actually do like being naked around the house. The apartment gets insanely stuffy even with the windows open and the fans on, so in the Summer, I'm in my underwear as much as possible. I only started considering closing the blinds when we started getting chummy with our neighbors.
Being a stripper has definitely gotten me out of my shell, though, and I don't put up with people's shit anymore. . . . I'm 23 and I only just recently started standing up to myself to my family members (about 10 years too late, maybe?). I used to be quiet and overly polite no matter what, now I speak my mind and I'm only polite when the person or situation deserves it.
Nope, same person regardless. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
Kinda yes, used to be, but right now i guess my alter ego and myself are a little confused.
I am totally me. If being a smart ass loses me a sale I could care less because for every sale I lose I have 10 more happy with how "genuine" I am. I just can't fake it, im a bad actress..meh.
