    Search Desperate, interested, concerned!

    Hi,
    I'm a 20yo college gal from the south. I've been seriously considering stripping for years now, but only really seeking out jobs in the past few days. I'm so glad I found this site!

    Here are my concerns, maybe someone has been there and has advice:

    -I can't drive. Like, CAN'T because I have seizures. =/ Would taking a taxi be a seriously bad idea?

    -I'm flat broke. Credit cards are maxed,bank account has pennies in it, I'm living off of ramen. How much would I safely need to get started? Stripping permit is $50 in the area I want to dance. Would $125 cut it? $50 for permit, not sure on club fees, $50 for the taxi? Assuming I already have clothing, I guess.

    -Would stripping now hurt my ability to be a nurse or work with kids later on down the road?

    Thanks so much, this seems like a really nice community and I'm still getting to know the rules and everything.

    Welcome to SW!

    First, I think you need to evaluate your safety with this job in regards to the seizures. You really are the only one that can answer this. If the seizures are on a regular basis could they potentially happen while you are on stage? Could you fall and hurt yourself from being on a raised stage? I'm not trying to dissuade you... but I think your safety is the most important.

    Second, I would see if you have a friend who might be interested in dancing with you that could drive. If not, try to see if any of your friends know a cab driver who is safe and reliable. I hardly ever recommend dancers taking cabs unless they have to because if you are coming out of a club the driver could assume you have a lot of cash and hold you up for it, or worse yet rape.

    I am huge on not buying anything you can't afford, except possibly heels. Just find yourself a pair of four inch heels to start and pull out a thong and cute outfit from your closet to audition in and wear the first night. There's no reason to spend money when you are hurting financially and need every penny you can get!

    As for stripping hurting your ability of working with children, potentially it could. If any of these run a background check your license to dance could show up, what you reported for work on your taxes could show up etc. Also if your club would happen to get busted, which I don't hear much about your area, you could end up with a charge for solicitation or something else - which wouldn't look good to a potential employer.

    Hope that helps and best of luck with whatever decision you make!

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

    My seizures are really small, so I don't think they'll be a problem onstage. I just don't want to drive.

    Thanks for the input! I actually do have a cute outfit available, so I'll just go check out shoes. ^_^ I don't think the clubs I'm looking at would really be busted... They have good reviews? It's something to think about, I guess! Thanks for your help.

    You just don't hear about busts there very often. It's probably been 5+ years at least since I've heard of anything. Lately everything has been in Florida.

    i heard of a girl where i live she left to be a nurse...even though seh went back to dancing. But no you can always go back...if not its discrimination. as far as a car goes. i cant drive either. i take the bus or the manager offered to pick me up, only because of the circumstance. as far as the seizures i knew a girl that got fired at my last club because she didnt take her meds and she had one at the bar...not good! as far as being broke which i was when i first started and now i am back in the same spot....being new you make a lot of money especially if you win amateur night and start that night. people love a new hot friendly face!!
