Introduction and I guess inspiration (possibly)?
I had always thought about dancing since I was in 8th grade, but it was always just a thought. Nothing serious. I lost my job amd was unemployed for 4 months because of an accident when I was 19. I was also a full time student and I needed to make money, fast, because school, car, and other bills were coming in. I thought about dancing again, but this time Igave it more thought. How could I dance? My mother raised me better, stripping had a bad stigma attached to it, how could I, a good girl from the suburbs, 'strip?' And even if I did I was so shy, I didn't even know how to dance 'like a stripper,' and weren't strippers catty. I couldn't possibly do that, but then I weighed my options. Full time, as a manager, I was making less than 10 dollars an hour. With dancing I wasn't going to be working as hard but I would make twice, three times the money. Dancing also offered me the possibility of flexible hours, and that was something I needed as a college student and a daughter who visited her family. Then I found StripperWeb.Net and I started reading through EVERYTHING. Forums, blogs, club reviews and I made my choice. It was either continue to add on to my families debt or take a leap of faith. I told myself time and time again that I would rather say I TRIED than I SHOULD HAVE tried. I took that leap of faith, hands trembling and voice shaking I walked into a club. Filled out an application and was given a date for my audition. Boy, looking back I feel so silly. I would stay up late dancing infront of the mirror, critisiig my own body... Fast forward to my audition, it was NO BIGGIE at all. Maybe its because it was a small club but, my audition was actually pretty easy. I just danced and had fun, and got the job. The girls were all pretty nice, but ofcourse, I kept in mind that I was there to make money not friends. And that is what kept me far away from any drama. Actually, I was blind to drama, if there was any I didn't really know about it or care to know. I learned moves by watching the other girls, and by not being embarassed to try. I was confident in myself and that really took me a long way. At work Iwas nothing but respectful, even to the girls I knew didn''t like me. To make a long story short, stripping is just another job. A job where you are getting paid to party, responsibaly. You are an entertainer. Thats all there is to it. Like anything in this world, stripping is what you make of it. You allow only what you want to allow. Dancing also did something I never could on my own, it made me appreciate my flaws and embrace them.
Some of my favorite quotes:
The chances you take are the oppurtunities you make
Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with doubt. Start with trembling hands. Start with a shaky voice. But just start. Start and don't stop. Start with what you have. Just... Start.
