    And which of us is the one who cannot tolerate the differing opinions of others, again? Boy, you really do have quite the propensity towards projecting... Ah but as they say, hypocrisy will out...

    If this was too much for someone to handle, I suggest that while in school they ought never to join the debate team, to say the least...

    My job is something I keep to myself. My friends at college have no idea and would be completely surprised. Although dancing presents a host of problems occasionally that other jobs would not the fun, "glitter" and money keep me on the pole so to speak .

    I am getting disillusioned when I see what the industry has degenerated into. Extras are rampant, money isn't what it used to be. But then there are those nights where I score some poor witless sap who gives me $500 and then I find a hot chick to take home and fuck, and I remember why I love my job.
    I like being able to sleep till 4, have all the piercings and tattoos that I want, plus listen to music all day.

    Downside? Hmmm I dunno it depends on the day and my particular gripe.

    If it wasn't for my friends at the club, I never would have cleaned up my act and gotten sober. So yeah I love my job.

    Talking about your occupation will not distract students from what they are /supposed/ to be doing- which is hearing about your occupation. o_O

    Now whether or not such an endeavor is a complete waste of time in and of itself is debatable, but in the classroom it is the professor's call, and many times they decide that, for whatever reason, spending time on something like this is somehow worthwhile, and strippers should be able to participate just like everyone else.




    Not to advocate wearing miniskirts in church lol, but this /is/ the same argument that is used to justify forcing women into burqas...just sayin'...slippery slope. Food for thought. =P

    Ah, I'm thinking with a bit of a bias. I didn't start stripping till I was already a junior in college and the professors didn't do the introductory thing as much anymore. They did still ask questions about it though to use as examples, which is why I'm thinking of things being in the middle of class.

    As for beginning of class introductions, be proud of who you are and what you do. If you can't do that, then fine, keep your mouth shut. Isn't it easier to just be who you are though?

    I can see the problem coming up though of people knowing your real name in class and then going to your club and calling you by it on accident.



    As for the miniskirt in church thing. I'm not advising for or against it. I'm just saying that for some people it is too much to handle. ;-)

    I've been dancing a pretty long time. It's weird bcuz when ppl ask me this question the first thing that comes to my mind is that I HATE my job, but that I dont regret becoming a dancer.
    b4 the economy got bad I remember making thousands of dollars a shift by looking hott and partying... The money was great, I was able to put myself through school, go out of the country, travel all over, buy nice stuff, work when I wanted, give my kids a nice life.... blah blah...but only in my dancers skin did I feel powerful... glamourous... or someone who could work over a guy... the second the sexy clothes came off and I had to be "me" again, I never felt very good about myself or what I did for a living. I never liked all the secrets I had to keep or the things the job entailed... all the lieing and games... like I said..my dancer self and my real self were just too different. Eventually it starts to break you down emotionally. Mostly what I've learned through my experiences is that the $$ you make ALWAYS comes with a price... and for me the price was very high.... alot of the time I would disassociate from my body bcuz I hated being touched... hated feeling like I had to sell myself and my personality to some married guy or desperate asshole... constantly measuring my self-worth by how much $$ I made that day... or by the way I was treated or by what I had to put up with that day...being judged on every little comment I made and all the body language I exuded.... eventually I just closed up...hid my REAL self...got hooked on drugs and alcohol.. and became my dancer self all the time... it really is like having split personalities,, and it was an amazing mask to hide behind... because on the outside eveything looked so amazing..but on the inside I was dieing... but I remember the days of being treated like a princess...being showered with gifts and praise...because I was a goddess and a whore all at the same time in the eyes of lustful men... I dont regret what I attained or the fun I had.. I dont regret the freedoms alloted to me as a dancer... and it made me feel high everytime I got the jealousy and looks of envy because I had the guts to do what I had to do...to give my kids a good life... If I had to do it all over again... I would probably do it again... only I wouldnt have stayed in the game so long. But if I would have started today..in this economy..in these times where girls are selling there souls for 20 bux... hell no..I wouldnt have made it past my first week..

    I honestly forget about all the pervy men by the time my head hits the pillow after a shift. The thing that stays with me is the money.

    I would like this job a lot more if i was making more $$$. I love that I can choose my schedule, wear sexy clothes, look glamorous and all that. But then I get onstage and see the men i have to "impress" and it all becomes a joke. I think its a shame that men rarely tip onstage or I have to try and hustle them, but then when I go out in my real life I get hit on constantly. I dont get it.

    I'm over dancing.

    I hear you girl!!!! I worked tonight and it was packed with men but most of the girls including me went home with less than $100. The men just sat there, didnt tip onstage, didnt buy dances.....wtf?? This isnt what dancing is supposed to be anymore, and all the clubs around me are the same. Its like men dont spend $$ on us anymore and I'm tired of it.
