    Default being straightedge and stripping.

    I remember what a pain it was just to sit down and order fake drinks, pretend to be drunk, and be sober to the retarded attitudes of so many customers.

    I always felt kinda alone.

    I never met another stripper that didn't drink/drugs/smoke.

    I'm just wondering.. is there anyone else?

    I don't drink/smoke/do drugs either. Some people either don't believe me or make fun of me, but meh, I just do my thing and go home. I don't even have the patience to pretend to be drunk/high, and even though I have been called or bitch or told that I'm 'no fun', I drink my bottle of water like it's the best thing on the planet.

    First I want to say that that's AWESOME and you're awesome for staying straightedge like that.

    I honestly can't say I know any dancers who are totally straightedge but I do know some who only drink (don't do drugs or smoke). Good luck to you though.

    Aye.
    Very rarely drink. Usually one, two at the most.
    But I'm old like Stifler's mom (almost).
    It's like being on the outside looking in alot. As if I'm the weirdo b/c I'm straight.

    I spent a lot of my time dancing straightedged. It wasn't until about 3 months ago that I started with the occasional drink. I've tried weed once, and I don't smoke. I've had the occasional recreational drug as well, but never at work. Good for you to sticking to your guys. I remember how much shit I'd get if I wasn't ever drinking.

    i'm straight edge.

    and i really mean straight edge...not drinking, smoking, or doing drugs does not equal straight edge. it's a label you choose to apply to yourself. don't mean to seem bitchy about it, but it's something that means a lot to me, and i don't like it when i hear people throwing it around like it's just another way to describe someone.

    oh, and i actually don't mind pretending to be drunk. i like it. it's hard to tell which guys like it, though. some actually hate it. i've lost out on money as often as i've made it. of course, i also don't order fake drinks. i had an experience in cr where i ordered a mimosa (aka orange juice), and the waitress just brought me a cup of orange juice to mix with my champagne. like, yeah, thanks. made me paranoid about how often fake drinks end up not so fake.

    I don't do drugs, and quit drinking at work YEARS before I retired. I got a lot of shit from the other dancers, but I didn't care because while they got wasted, I hustled my ass off.

    Yeah, just because someone doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs does not make them "straight edge". Some people need to look up the meaning. Straight edge is not JUST not doing drugs, drinking, or smoking, it's a lot more than that.

    I'm not straightedge but,

    I don't do drugs and I never drink when I work.

    I'm a control freak when it comes to stripping. I don't care if other people do since everyone deals with life and work differently...we all have vices.

    one of my many vices is eating Tasty Cakes at freaking 3:00 in the morning.

    I don't smoke or do drugs. I do drink very occasionally, say once a month at the most, even then I'll only have 2 or 3. I go to work to make money, not to party.

    ^^^Thats not really straight edge then is it.
    I admire long term straight edgers although the scene in itself doenst appeal to me really. I am doing my best not to drink anymore, in or outside of work Im just over it. I dont do any other drugs but no Xs on my hands yet
    Its not actually that hard, I cant fake being drunk though!

    Well no, I never said I was completely straight edge, I was just making the point that not all strippers drink, smoke and take drugs while at work.

    your making it into a negative thing for you at work dont let it be. when i wasnt drinking id order water or juice and they would say why dont you drink? i just smile and say i dont need to drink to have fun at work, i enjoy my job.

    if you keep upbeat and cheerful and alll that, they wont mind.

    When I started, I made it a point not to drink at work. I'm a total lightweight, so I'd be drunk rather quickly. The other night, I had 1.5 drinks and I was GONE! I ended up super sick and falling asleep in the dressing room until 2am when the manager told me I could leave if I wanted. What a waste of my night.

    Now I remember why I never used to drink at work and I'm going back to that.

    I'm not really straightedge, but I seldomly drink at work (only have 1 if I do...and probably don't finish it), don't smoke or do drugs anymore. Customers actually don't seem to care about the drinking part that much. I'm surprised.

    At work I'm certainly straightedge! You're not alone in that respect.

    i dont consider myself sXe. not because of my actions, just because sXe is a lifestyle...like being a punk, hippie, artist, or hwatever is a lifestyle. but to answer your Q, no i do not drink, do drugs, or have sex at work. i dont drink because a) im only 19 b) i have to drive 1.5 hours to and from work and c) im WORKING....not out partying. i dont pretend to be drunk either, because i can make great money being happy, orientated, and sober. i dont do drugs or have sex because i dont like drugs and am not a prostitute. like someone else here mentioned, i go to the club to work. im not there to party and make friends. if im smiling and happy and have a good attitude customers will want to spend time with me. and im not the only girl at my club who knows this to be true. so just know you are not alone!

    The dancers I work with don't make it an issue that I don't really drink at work. Some custies ask why I am always drinking bottled water, but whatever. Every so often I will have a couple of beers, but I space it out with lots of water in between. My personality doesn't really seem to change much.

    Now, when certain dancers ask me for drugs and find I don't indulge, they are kinda surprised, but then they just don't ask me again.

    One manager accused me of rolling on E at work for having a bottled water in my hand all the time. (I was working in a tropical climate, it was sooooo hot...)

    I used to drink occasionally & never drug. I was too scared of being taken advantage of/ robbed at work.

    Frankly any girl who gives another girl shit for being abstemious at work is jealous- some girls have to get drunk/high to do this job and they're inwardly upset that they have to...they know it.

    & Some girls have never had a regular job...Try getting wasted at any other job and see how long you last. Professionalism, word of the day, kids!

    In Guam, you're paid to drink but this still wasn't a problem for chicks who wanted to stay sober. I worked with a few; one was purely sXe and a couple others who were in recovery and just invested in their sobriety. Its really very admirable.
    I can at times drink quite heavily but I'll always want to detox, too. Again, I'm typically paid for drinks and so I don't have a problem ordering them sans liquor. Everyone was always cool about it and nobody ever ratted a girl out for drinking virgin drinks to the custies.
    It can be done.
    If you were a sXe dancer would you also only dance to Minor Threat or Gorilla Biscuits or other sXe bands? Just wonderin'.
