as i've said before on here, i got into stripping a month and a half ago and it was pretty much a fluke, but i've discovered that i really like it and am good at it. however, since i NEVER EVER want my parents to know, they think i've spent the summer partying and dicking around and don't know i've actually made several thousand dollars.
right now i dance two nights a week, and i just got a part-time job waitressing (another fluke, but it's a long story), mostly because i feel kinda guilty for lying to my parents and wanted to be able to tell them i have a "real" job. tonight was my first night, and it was all right, but by the end my feet were killing (why do the four-inch heels i was wearing hurt way more than my stripper platforms?) and i realized that if i wait tables three nights a week, i'd probably make at most $300/week (at that restaurant, anyway). OR i could dance three extra nights a week and make 7 or 8x as much (i average $700-800/night dancing).
i'm young, my body is bangin', i think dancing is fun, and the boy i'm dating knows and doesn't have a problem with it. i realized tonight that if i'm going to dance, now is the perfect time in my life to do it, and i should treat it like a JOB and stop treating it like an accident. so i think i'm gonna quit the waitressing job and dance five nights a week instead of two. it just makes so much more sense.
anyone else go back to "normal" jobs after dancing and have a hard time with it? how did you deal?
