    Smiley Yes, I am a Stripper! (Blog/Rant/INSPIRATION?!?)

    Bustin' some stereotypes!! (or at least trying)...


    Ok, so not that anyone cares- but I recently started an account over at
    Open Diary. And I just posted this little rant/poem/not sure what it is lol
    and it got elected for Reader's Choice. I want to know what ya'll think
    about it.

    I'll just post it here because you have to have an account there to view
    it. If you do, then click .

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Okay, Let's get a few things out the way, shall we?

    Yes, I'm a stripper; Exotic dancer. Whatever you want to call it.
    No, that does not mean I'm a prostitute, a hooker, or a call girl!

    Yes, I am a stripper and am comfortable with my body and take
    my top off for a living.
    No,I did not have a horrible childhood, nor was I ever sexually
    promiscuous, raped, or molested. I didn't even lose my virginity
    until I was twenty-one years old! lol.


    Yes, I am a stripper and have been offered hundreds - thousands
    of dollars for sex.
    No, I have NEVER been tempted to accept an offer nor will I EVER.
    I make plenty of money just dancing around naked and flirting
    with you all night (Can you believe I get paid for it? lol).

    Yes, I am a stripper and am in touch with my inner sensuality
    and sexy, fantastic, feminine self.
    No, I am not a slut, whore, or tramp by any definition of the word.
    ^(or skank <- recent addition, - Thank you, anonymous commenter).
    I can count on one hand the number of men I've slept with. (I hold
    very high standards for myself and can be quite picky).

    Yes, I am a stripper and love to have fun, sleep in sometimes, and
    only go to work when I feel like it.
    No, I am not lazy, stupid, or addicted to drugs. I don't date criminals
    and I've never committed tax evasion.




    Yes, I
    am a stripper.
    I am a woman.
    I am a go-getter.
    I am an entrepreneur (self-employed independent contractor- Thank you!)

    I am a listener.
    I am a friend.

    I am a thinker.
    I am a Goddess.

    I am confident, open-minded, sexy, and smart.
    I have a big heart and an open mind; And the most wonderful part?:

    I'm Free! I'm Alive! I'm happy and thriving!

    Any more questions?



    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I've mostly been getting encouraging remarks from non-strippers-
    except one anonymous poster who wrote a few nasty things:

    "I can count on one hand the number of men I've slept with."

    You're only 22 years old....this isn't exactly some great accomplishment. And
    didn't you just say you lost your virginity at 21? That means you've slept with 5
    men in a YEAR...which is pretty skanky if you ask me.

    And sorry, but way more strippers have been raped/abused than women in the
    general population who aren't in that field. Just because you happen to be one
    of the few who wasn't doesn't mean you make some kind of great point in your
    entry. Whoever voted this reader's choice is an idiot.

    "No, I am not slut, whore, or tramp by any definition of the word."
    Wow, so if dancing around in front of strange men for money, NAKED, doesn't
    make you a slut, I'd like to know what your definition of a "slut" actually is....I
    have a feeling it's something pretty extreme, like someone who's slept with
    100 men?

    You act like you have no shame for being a stripper. If that's the case, would
    you mind if your family came to watch you strip? Would you still be so proud of
    yourself then?
    to which I've responded:

    Responses to your comments:


    "I can count on one hand the number of men I've slept with."

    That just means that I can count just using one hand. That doesn't mean I actually use
    each finger lol.

    I wasn't asking for a trophy nor did I state it's someamazing accomplishment. It's
    obviously just a stereotype among strippers and I was just stating a fact about
    MYSELF. Is this not "Open Diary?"Are these entries not about...moi?

    And obviously I am aware that there are plenty of women in the industry who can't
    say the same about their lives. And who hate what they do and are only here because
    they have no choice.

    I'm not speaking for ALL STRIPPERS. My entry is titled "Yes, I (as in myself) am a
    Stripper lol.

    And: since you are so curious about my definition of a "slut,": I think we can all agree
    that an accurate description would be something along the lines of:
    "a woman of a certain level of sexual promiscuity."(Not that I would judge her... because,
    really, who the hell cares)?

    Anyway- not sure how that equates to dancing naked lol.

    Regarding my family: (who are quite aware of my line of work):
    Um... Why would I dance for them?? That's just aridiculous question and totally
    irrelevant to the fact that I'm a stripper lol.

    No, I am NOT ashamed of being a stripper. I am not ashamed of my body.

    I carry myself with respect both inside and outside of the club.

    Maybe I just don't understand your question: I'm confused as to how mylack of
    embarrassment of my beautiful, natural nude body would have anything to do with
    anyone's natural embarrassment and obvious avoidance of being naked in front of a
    family member.
    Can you say awkward...? Ew. (Please feel free to clarify )

    **Note: I didn't mean anything at all by stating the age that I lost my virginity.
    I would never judge any other woman for her sexual history or outlook. -And to
    further my point- the main reason I waited so long was because I hadn't always
    been so in touch with my sensuality. I was raised, as most of us are, to
    believe that anything bordering sensual is dirty and unpure.

    All the Theology aside, I just believe in being "Human." And I celebrate it by
    loving myself and embracing the way I was created to be.**

    Moving on: Why the negativity? It's such a waste of energy. Smile, people!


    As for everyone else- Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement!

    I'll never understand why sensuality and nude bodies offend so many people! Haha.

    Not sure what they're so afraid of... Guess we'll never know, will we?


    And for those of you who for some reason are taking personal insult from this:

    I am sorry that my confidence and lack of shame offends you...

    Oh, wait. Actually I'm not.


    Ciao.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    So) I really just had the urge to try and clear the air at least a tiny bit among
    people outside of the industry. I don't understand why there is such a stigma
    and negativity attached to what we do! I know there are bad apples

    and sleezy clubs and the "stereotype."

    I just don't understand how it BECAME a stereotype.
    It just makes me sad because I think strippers are awesome...


    Just sayin'

    Anyway- I wanted to get some feedback from my "pole-sisters!" lol

    That's really cool that you took the time to write that, and even better respond to the negative feedback so well. People are ignorant, we need to educate them! All the time people talk to me, then later are like, "Wow, I had no idea strippers were so intelligent/religious/ambitious/healthy/drug free etc. etc. I love blowing away the stereotypes.

    There will always be haters. It's probably some ugly fat bitch that wrote that mean response. Or some bitter customer that got played.

    I really like this too. I think writing out your positive thoughts and being able to see it visually creates an awesome feedback loop for yourself.... Output --> Input ---> Output....Full circle, ya know?

    Seeing as 'Religion' and 'Theology' were brought up on that Site - I'll say this now.

    I'm a Christian. I was brought up to believe that sexual relationships were to be reserved for marriage - and that parading around naked to entertain others (stripping) was immoral and denegrating.

    I am SUPPOSED to believe this to be true.

    I DON'T.

    I thought that your Poem was very Beautiful, Inspiring, very Touching - and very, very Brave. It is an Honest account of an ordinary girl making her way in life in an occupation that she enjoys and is good at.

    I applaud the fact that you responded to your critics without resorting to rudeness and abuse. There are ALWAYS going to be those who condemn and ridicule those in jobs like this - without knowing much about it. It's commonly known as ignorance. On the other hand - there's plenty of people who will support you too.

    The best thing about your Poem is your celebration of being a woman - and for being alive. That's priceless!

    In other words - I thought it was wonderful!!

    I liked the response to the rude person.

    I do peepshow so there are usually 3-5 girls on stage and windows open up. On weekend nights we'll sometimes get women in, and recently a woman was pointing and laughing at one of the strippers because she had pubes.

    Rather than get pissed I reminded the other girl and myself that the reason people laugh/harass/joke about us is because we're threatening to them. We're confident and sexual, and frankly I don't think this woman had the confidence to do what we do with her clothes on. I think she was insecure around a bunch of beautiful confident naked women. I think it's also the reason some women come in in the first place, "look at all the sluts!!!", haha.
