Ok, so I started the post on how strippers are shown in a 'bad light' via the media. And in reality it's rather like that as well. A lot of us hide our jobs from friends and family. Some of us hide our jobs because we don't want random people to pass judgement.
I have been in and out of pole classes for around 8 months. (But I've been pole dancing on my own for over 10 years). I've made one really great friend and a lot of acquaintances, mostly other students.
I was out to dinner w/ some of the women I've met through class or photo shoots. None of them are dancers/strippers/paid pole performers. We're all between the ages of 25-40 something. Here it comes, my gloat: I WAS THE ONLY COLLEGE GRADUATE
I know it's not nice to gloat, but it just felt good w/ some of the negative judgments that have been made towards me over the years because of my job, to be the most academically accomplished person at that table
(One girl, is back in school to finish her degree because she was laid off of her banking job. One of the other girls told her that an education just isn't worth it)
