This question for the dancers is a variation of the "how do people react when you tell them" question - It seems like during the past few years, dancers/strippers have become really COOL in pop culture... (1) top-40 artists like Christina Aguilera, Tila Tequila, Brittany Spears and Madonna don stripper attire in their music videos and dance around the stripper pole like true SC veterans, (2) actress Carmen Electra has produced her lap dancing and strip-aerobics videos which are sold in "family-friendly" bookstores/videostores like Borders and Barnes & Noble, as well as her own line of stripper poles which are sold in most U.S. shopping malls (Spencer's Gifts store), (3) actress Sheila Kelly has a national franchise of pole dancing studios for "regular" woman, (4) pole-dancing for fitness was the fitness craze a few years ago and a petition is currently going around to make "vertical dancing" a part of the Olympic Games, (5) I've seen just about every attractive actress in Hollywood play the role of a stripper in at least one movie, (6) "stripper chic" has become both a fashion style and culture trend,... etc.... etc....
So, have YOU noticed people's attitudes about dancers change in recent times? Do people respond more positively to your disclosure that you are a dancer today, as opposed to five years ago?
