How did all you start in this industry???
I started cause I lost my job and had trouble finding a new one, bills were getting stacked up and overdue. So I did what I had to do and found a job I LOVE!
Was asked to go up on stage and have a ball! My friends dared me. Management asked me back the following night.

Needed fast money my cars transmission blew.
Started out waitressing, then saw how much fun it was to be up on stage making lots of cash.
I wanted to get my boobs done so I could be a dancer and make lots of $$ (my thinking pattern at age 18 ) . My friend said they only way to make the boob money fast is to dance so ... I started dancing and got my boobies :)
I had just gone thru my first marital separation and was not receiving financial or any other type of support for my child.
On a side note, I'm surprised there is 0% for gals forced to work. Here in SF, I've heard of quite a few of these instances. Then again, these girls usually are closely monitored, work double shifts and probably would not have the time to use a computer or allowed the access...sad:'(
hehehe. i was with a bf i wasnt in love with, and his mother was a bitch,to cut a long story short, i did it to piss her off! lol and then i actually liked it, so i stayed ( and i had just been fired from me "real job") andshe was pretty angry too lol mission acomplished :)
I put student, but honestly I probably could've gotten a normal job. It was something I wanted to do. I wouldn't say it was a dream, but I did want to try it. It was very different and neat. I was drawn to it for the same reason everyone wants to write about us.
It started out as a money thing (I was a student at the time), but I always had a fascination with it, so it was a fantasy too. (note: my first gigs were anything BUT fantastical!:-X )
I started dancing for various reasons. One of them is out of curiousity, I wanted to actually understand why some guys like going to strip clubs so much. And for financial reasons too because I wanted to go back to school and have a job that is flexible enough for my demanding study schedule. And needed money to help my family out. lol...sounds kinda cheesy.. but it's true.
Was gettin a divorce and needed to have a income to support me and my kids.
A girlfriend and I were just talking about this the other night. The initial reason I started was because of credit card bills. However, I now realize that it IS something I've kind of always wanted to do along with becoming a professional poker player, an animal cop and an international spy... well, at least I've already fulfilled one of my dreams... I picked up a book on Texas holdum today too.
I had just wanted to dance ever since I read Heidi Mattson's book (when I was 16). I never got the guts to do it, even though a good friend of mine (now my GF) started dancing the day she turned 18.
I *finally* went to see her dance back last October at a new club, and she got me up on stage. The crowd loved it, and I was told I could dance there if I wanted to do it. I started dancing the next night.
I'm using it to pay for school, buy a car and save some money, and it sure beats the hell out of anything else I could be doing as I see it. ;-)
I wanted to strip since I was 16 too, ever since an ex bf gave me the idea(his sis did it). She btw also convinced me it was something I wanted to do. It always seemed kinda fun, and plus the money can be really good.
I had always wanted to try it out, but I started because I needed a job. I left my previous job as an office manager and could not find another comparable job. The economy here in Maine is not the greatest, and I've now got one of the highest paying jobs around. It worked out well and I'm glad that I decided to do it.
I had a mean crystal meth habit and my 8 kids were bitching about how their dads were never around or always in jail. Then there was the issue of bailing out my common-law husband. On top of that, I was always really exhibitionistic because my uncles ran a train on me when I was 8.
Well, I think I covered all the stereotypes there.
I just needed money. I was flat broke, in school, couldn't find a job and didn't want to ask my parents for money. I was way behind on my bills. My cats were eating and I wasn't.
I did it to piss off my dad.
:rotfl: Nina!! The above is how far I read thinking this was a serious confession before I shifted into "WTF?" mode.Quote:

* Further backstory not included here.
I started to pay for college.
The worst part is I still do it since I would take over 50% pay cut if I actually used the degree that dancing paid for. GO FIGURE!

B/C I hated the rat race 9-5 thing.
I wanted more flexibilty and more control over my earnings.
LOL! That's what scares me, sort of. I may decide I like doing it enough or enjoy the money so much that I might keep doing it.Quote:

I did quit and then I went back, actually I went back a total of three times, all in different cities. I left my first husband after we were married for three years and went back to California and danced for about a year, then we reconciled (I was young, stupid and not thinking clearly).. then I had my daughter in 95 and quit and did day jobs etc.. then I went back on a whim, more as a dare when someone told me that they didn't think that I could make as much money since I had had a kid (stupid bastard!)... so I went back again..
Then, I stayed silent and was out for a long time until November of 2003 when I finally was sick and tired of my first husband and I wanted to get out of my marriage. I also had lost my job and needed to make good money, spend time with my daughter and pay for all the things that I needed to pay for to leave his controlling manipulative ass.
I'd go back again, if I didn't live in Boise.
Like most everyone else, curiosity & money. I started young, before I had ever had a 'real job', but I just didn't think I could hang with the 9-5 desk thing. (Still can't....)
I'd always loved to watch dancers. And, after a while, I had done everything else in a strip club that I had wanted to do! A feature friend of mine inspired me a lot, and still does. I just love to entertain.
