    Default Ohhh!!! A bit of a rant here!

    So, I've been purchasing random, inexpensive E-books about dancing. Two have been non-fiction so far.

    I began reading the second one yesterday. It's called: "A String of Pearls: A View into the Lives of Exotic Dancers. By Whylie, Passion.

    Here are a couple of sentences that made me want to throw my iPad across the room:
    " Whatever the reason, no dancer becomes one for the hell of it; most dancers don't like it, and if they did, they would not need drugs and alcohol to get them through the night".

    I'm fuming! She can't speak for every dancer. I choose to dance because I was curious and had always fantasized about being a go-go dancer since I was around 11! I still look forward to packing my costumes, finding new music and that fact that I never know what will happen the day I'm working. The spontaneous nature is alluring.

    Maybe I'm taking this personally because i just woke up, but I think/know a lot of us on this board like what we do. I have non-dancer friends who want to have our job , but are too afraid/shy/not confident enough to do it.

    *Btw, this writer also says that sex usually does happen in the VIP or Champagne room.

    ^It sounds like it is just one person's experience in the industry, & a generalization. Not everyone will abuse substances in order to do their job or only dance due to the finical gain alone-but, it is common. It's just a pity it wasn't more helpful, useful or a better read .

    It wasn't the greatest read. Read it within an hour. I managed to not break my ipad. The writing was a big inconsistent. But yeah, this writer did not have a great dancer experience overall.

    Lot's of strippers drink.
    Many do drugs.
    Like people in other professions, most of the strippers that participate in those activities do so because they want to and because they enjoy drugs/booze.
    Some strippers pretend to be drunk as part of the party-girl persona or to put customers at ease.
    I have to say that the majority of strippers I have met do drugs/drinking in moderation.
    Probably 20% of dancers I've met don't do either-- or just in VIP rooms and even then in very, very limited quantities.

    There are about a billion misconceptions about strippers out there..... another day another delusion.

    That's what people want to read when they read about the stripping industry. No one wants to hear about the "good" parts of dancing. That would just be a boring read.
