    Default Almost a year to the day...

    Since I officially joined SW.

    Right around the same time that I began my new occupation, too. This might shape up to be a longer introduction, but here goes.

    I can't thank everyone enough, from the most deliberately thoughtful and helpful contributors here, to the lowlife idiots who troll around and cause trouble. I've been learning so much and have also been laughing my ass off at the same time.

    I'm "Viva", and started dancing a little over a year ago. I'd waitressed at many clubs in Los Angeles years ago where my old raver friends used to dance, never imagining that I'd take the plunge and go for it at this stage of the game. I'm going to be 35 in just a few months. Everyone says that I don't look it, and I wonder how it all passed so fast.

    (Insert cliche about if you knew then what you know now, etc.)

    I was a lot more self-conscious with my body issues and lower self-esteem way back when. I'm on here lurking a lot these days, reading all of the threads and figuring out what to do as I know that I might not have all that much time left to do this.

    I'm working on getting into the best shape of my life again and am going to learn as much as possible this time before I go out and dance again. My goals are simple, to travel a little bit, be more proficient in my pole and also hustle while paying off some long-standing modest debts. I know that I'm not a SuperStripper™, but that I can carve my own niche anyhow.

    Thanks for listening and keep on keeping on.

    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Congrats! I came to stripping relatively late, too, at age 28, about 6 months ago. I also wish I had started sooner, but like you, I lacked the confidence. I'm better able to handle some of the challenges of stripping now, too, than I would have been at 19 (that's when I first started wanting to do this!) I've got a whole lot of dances left in me, and so it's good see other ladies who are workin' it in their thirties.

    Hope to see more posts from you, Viva, and happy 1 year anniversary!
