why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
(sorry if this thread as been done before - im sure it has)
i know a lot of females with wild dramatic stories, mine is pretty boring. i moved to california when i was 19 with a boyfriend and decided before we even got there that i could get a job dancing, because i was under the impression that it was the BEST job to have if you were a student because of the fewer hours and increased earning potential, plus california is so expensive. im also an attention seeking nudist and the business was sort of romanticized in the media and i liked the rebellion attached to it. :D
i WANTED to strip from the very begining.
i wasnt forced or manipulated at all.
i COULD have gotten a job a mcdonalds instead but i never regret my CHOICE. dancing made me very aware of my body and comfortable with who i am

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
My reason for dancing..... first of all the money, i have always been the quiet up tight one thought id break out of my shyness, now i can stop looking so boyish and keep my hair and nails up and actually get appreciated for doing so(i have a negative family, nothing gets noticed but the bad stuff). also doing this seems the 2 be the only reason i get out of the house. yeah u guessed it...... i dont have a life. things are changing now 4 the better......

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
Yes this thread has been done... if someone could possible search for it, find it and link to it that would be great as I remember posting my story there.
I'm a little tired and am not up to posting the full story. It is rather involved, not simple.

I was sixteen and actually working at McDonald's and hating every second of it. I had been planning on leaving home for 2 years but wasn't sure how I would be able to pull it off when I stumbled upon a help wanted ad. I loved the idea of dancing, was thrilled when I got the job, and quitting that awful fast food job was a beautiful thing!

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I graduated from college, and my best friend and I moved to the beach on a whim and started dancing just for kicks. I went from making $5.75 an hour in retail sales to mega bucks!! My first night when I returned home from work with a wad of cash, I thought I had hit the jackpot. I was in shock at how little I had to work for so much dough. Here I am 10 yrs. later....

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I was married to a professional guitarist, had a young son, and was working as a Respiratory Therapist. I suddenly found myself divorced, holding the bag for tens of thousands of my ex-husband's debts, earning $12 an hour, and having a son to feed, clothe and save for his college by myself.
Just as I was beginning to wallow in my hopeless financial situation, a new club opening (the first ever in my city) was advertised. I decided to check it out, and the rest is 'history'.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I got pregnant and became single mom of twins. I left college. My nights were free...lol.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I was in school and pondering getting a part time job. My friend was going to dance in the amateur night at a local club, and a bunch of her friends were going to support her. When I called the club to find out if it was 18+ or 21+, they told me that I couldn't come in unless I was dancing...so I danced. They ended up cancelling the amateur night because there were only two of us, but they threw us up onstage alongside the other girls.
I loved the idea of dancing and had thought about it for a long time. I was nervous until I got onstage and started dancing and taking off my clothes. I had so much fun--and then the big wad of money at the end of the night clinched it.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I am in college but I want to live in LA this summer ( reallly expensive) I have two other jobs but I still need nore money. I LOVE being topless so I figure why not get payed for it. I don't even make much money at my bar but it will be good practice for bigger better clubs, I want to dance until 2006.
I came in for an amatuer night 2 weeks ago with a friend and exactly like pixie there was just 2 of us, contest cancelled and here I am

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I was young and supporting myself and going to high school and McDonalds said I wasn't old enough to work more than like twelve hours a week. I knew people in the sex industry and I'd been around it my whole life, so I thought that was something I could do for a while. That was eight years ago now, and dancing has enabled me to do so many things. I've moved around the country, I've bought my own house, up front with no mortgage, and I've learned how to deal with so many different kinds of people. I'm young, but I feel like I have a wealth of experience to draw from now.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I went to this after hours party at a small club that had a stage and pole. One of my girlfriends went up there and danced nude and encouraged me to join. We were awkward and silly, but it was fun, especially collecting tips! I made 20-something dollars and kept thinking that that was so much money for just 15 minutes of work.
I started looking through papers and saw the ads talking about how you could make all this money dancing. I thought I had to try it since I had so much debt that I was close to ruining my credit. I researched different cllubs on the net and tried an amateur night. They didn't hire me...and needless to say I didn't win
I tried a couple more clubs, thinking one would hire me, and one did. I also thought I'd hate it and quit right away, but if I liked it, I'd do it on weekends to supplement my income.
I loved it!

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
Yep, debt, that was my reasoning. I had a few friends that worked at few of the different clubs in my area. One inpaticular talked me out of my boring dull old job and got me over at the most upscale club in town. She left a few months or so after I started, but we are still really good friends, and I am still dancing :) .
No children, with the exception of my two four legged ones, I live a bit more of a comfortable life now and that's fine with me.

funny, Melonie, I was also married to a very, very talented professional musician (guitarist/my daughter's father) who left me in tons of debt.
Hopefully we weren't married to the same guitarist LOL !

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I started because I love to dance and it would be a great supplement to my SO's income. I am a full-time stay at home mommy...so, now that my daughter is 1 1/2 years old (my how time flies by) and I feel comfortable leaving her without me (she stays home with my SO) I figured I'd go make money, and have fun. I love dancing and don't regret a second of it!!

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I started because of a major money fetish. Also because I am very good with men and I love being naked.
I have always loved acting sexy, dreaming about sex, getting attention, and dancing. Put them all together and you get exotic dancing.
Not to mention the nails, clothes, shoes, etc.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I started dancing due to my moving out of my house. Once I moved out my parents said, I "was on my own" so I had to make a lot of money to pay off debt and my school. Not only that I didnt mind how good the EXTRA money was to spend.
So I started to work as a bartender at the club I dance in now, and then in 2 months, I started to dance.
I have been dancing for almost 2 years now, and while my debt is a thing of the past, school isnt. So I continue to pay for school, and my newer apartment. :)
edited to add: Not only that, I am thinking of buying a house in FL. wohoooooo

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I aspired to be a stripper since I was 15. I dont know, as a teen it seemed very "rock star" to me...so when I was 18 and I graduated high school...I headed to the first strip club I knew of...4 years later...I still enjoy it .....

EXACTLY the same with me.
i was a teenager and i always would joke that when i was out of high school i was going to get a job stripping, just to see what peoples reactions would be.

Re:why you started stripping (the REAL reason...)
I was working at a CD shop to help put me through Drama School, and they had major staff cutbacks - all the casual staff had to go. :-[
So I tried my hand at stripping, seeing I was already training to be an actor. I thought it would be easy, and seeing as I had no probs wearing a thong at the beach, thought I could get up and strutt my stuff. Nudity didn't bother me. (I was NOT very good at it in those days).
These days, i still do it for the $, but really love it too. ;)
