    Since I work in film as well as dancing, (not porno), I need to stay on the slender side. I exercise as much as six times a day. If I am on set, I bring a jumprope or I try to go for little mini-runs when I have a break. I do cardio, weights, skates and during the winter, snowboard.

    I have whitened my teeth, but my upper fronts are caps and don't change color. I am getting those fixed later this year.

    Hair: I keep it in varying shades of brunette w/ highlights. I have it cellaphaned monthly and deep condition it two-to three times a week at home. (I flat iron a lot)

    I use a self tanner and maybe, every few months go to a booth. I use to do the spa thing monthly. Unfortunately, my husband got laid off last month, the day before we were leaving for our belated honeymoon, so the spa visits will cease for a while.

    Manicures: Use to get them twice per month, but now do them myself.

    Make-up: Nothing too outrageous, I try to keep it somewhat wholesome.

    Surgery: None yet, well botox for the last year,( too much worrying over the years), I do have tiny spider veins from doing jumps on my board and probably from heels, ( no kids). Sometimes exercise can be bad, if you get hardcore (LOL)!! Dermablend works fine now, but I would like to get them zapped before they get too bad.

    Now for my comment, either I need to change clubs or there is something wrong. I worked w/ dancers the other night that had some teeth MISSING!!!...and they made more money than me. By far! I also noticed that heavier women were making more money as well.

    I work in a part of Los Angeles called the Valley. When I first started working there, a lot of film produciton guys would come in who became regulars. I then found out recently that the Warner Center which had shows such as "24" and "Charmed" filming there, has been bought by someone else and the industry people have to relocate. This has affected my money in a big way. Also, the sister club next door is getting really bad reviews (4 out of 10) on the stripclublist.

    Sorry about going off topic, I am just stressed because of putting in all this effort and not profiting from it. Another thing, the go-go club I work in is small. It was great for chatting guys up and getting them to the tip rail. Now they have turned the volume up on the music so loud, you can't even hear yourself talk.

    Ok, enough.

    Cheers,

    Corey

    Nail salon: I get a peticure and manicure every three weeks. I always get french. I think it looks so sexy and porn star like! But it can get boring every once in a while.

    Waxing: I get a brazillian bikkini wax ( take everything off down there even around your asshole!) every two weeks. It is awsome and I am pretty used to the pain now. And I just got my first eyebrow wax and I love it soo much. Nothing too dramatic just cleaned it up a bit! I feel so much more feminine!!

    Shopping: This has become such a problem latley!! I have been spending alot on outfits. But I think it is very important to work in something that makes you feel confident and sexy. Otherwise your money will diminish belive me!! But I'm going to cut back on the dresses for awhile. I only work three days a week no need for fifty outfits!!

    Makeup: I spent 116.00 on just makeup and lotion last week and I didn't even get that much!! I use bare minnerals for my foundation and powder and it looks so natural on my face. I hightly recomend it. Except if you have a blemish like a pimple I would use a seprate liquid conceler. I wear false eyelashes becuse I really don't have any!! I wear black eyeliner at work and I feels so sexy and mysterous.

    Excerise: This on I take very seriously. I do strenght training 20 minutes 3 times a weak. Including pilates, weights, machines, and leg lifts, squats, lunges. And cardio for 30 3 times a week including jogging, spinning class, stair stepper machine at the gym, eliptic trainer, tae bo. I pretty much try to do swich it all up as much as possible to work diffrent muscles and to keep from getting bored. This is important working out should be a priorty for a dancer. But I don't want to work out too much I don't want to loose my curves!!

    Eat healthy: I think I eat pretty healhy. My breakfast usually consists of Fiber cereal, nonfat yogurt, whole wheat toast or something along those lines. Lunch is usually chilli, tomato soup, tuna sandwich or something with eggs. Dinner is pasta dish, chicken, hambergers, veggie enchiladas or some kind of dish I prepare. One tip I lost weight with is cooking my own meals. It gives you better control over your choices for dinner and saves you money belive it or not. I do give into treats everyonce in a while. I have such a sweet tooth. I don't eat pizza anyomore, I still have an addiction to soda, but I am trying to drink more water. I love mochas and cappacinos but latley I have been dirinking my coffee black. I'm almost getting used to it. Oh and I love friut!! I snack on it all the time!!!

    Plastic surgry: I don't have any and don't plan on getting any except it I was a horrible accident or had to get a masectomy.

    Sleep: I have to get 9 hours of sleep or more a night or eles people think I am drunk!!!

    Tanning: I don't tan. My complexiton is somewhat already tan because my father is brazillian and he gave me some colur naturally. LOVE YOU DAD!!!

    Hair: I wear my hair long and past my shoulders so the maintance doesn't really go beyond trimmimg the ends every few months which i am really bad about!! I have dark brown hair with blond highlights but next week I am getting the highlights taken out I will just have long beautiful brunnette hair I can't wait!!!

    That is pretty much all I do to be a good dancer. When I first started dancing I didn't do all this stuff. Now I do and I can tell you my money has greatly improved!! Also it you are new don't expect to know everything. Alot of it takes time and just watch the girls at you club and see what they do then develop your own look and style!!

    Yes seraya Bare Minnerals is worth the money. It feels very natural and not heavy and cakey!! It covers pretty well but I have notice when I have a zit I do need a bit more coverage. I use a liquid concerler like airware by loreal before I put on bare minnerals. It really does look like you are not wearing any makeup it looks like you have just very even nice skin.

    Of the above, I think eating healthy is my big one. Also sleeping enough, tanning, and teeth whitening.

    I Do the following because I love to, not really for work or the money except may be the outfits (hehe dancing is my excuse to get cool clothes):

    NAIL OR HAIR SALON- Nails at home weekly and on rare occasion at a salon (I'm a beauty consultant and use all of my own stuff) Hair cut and highlighted in unique short cut on a regular basis at salon

    MAKE UP- continually playing with makeup and stage makeup (again beauty consultant) and I am often reading on new trends and studying makeup artistry books like Kevin Aucoin (he's AWESOME)

    SHOPPING - when I need something new for photoshoots or see an awesome outfit I know is EXACTLY me, but not too often as I already have my favorites :-D and am frugal

    EXERCISE- should but don't really much, have tae bo video love it but don't do it. also have yoga I need to start doing for health reasons

    SPA -again at home with beauty consultant supplies

    BEAUTY SLEEP - naps during days sometimes while kids sleep, and the days I know i'm working I try to get 9 hrs of sleep before (I only dance 1 day a week)

    EAT HEALTHY- yup, really healthy because I can't imagine not eating healthy and it helps my body to work better (again health problems)... but I do drink while at work and sometimes at home

    Sexy--I broke an ice cream addiction about a year ago and have never looked back. When I know I shouldn't eat a certain food I try to think of it as lard or rotten--gross but it works.

    Back to topic--I do it all and love every girly, glamorous second of it!

    I was really surprised to hear that some of you don't get your nails done. I would love to get away with that cause I think it can be kinda painful and costly.

    hmmmm....

    Hair and Nail Salon- I love getting my hair and nails done (what girl doesn't?) but it costs too much money that I, being as broke as I am, don't have. If I became a stripper I guess I could do it more often.

    Make up- I am such a tomboy that I don't feel like I do makeup well. I am also too poor to get good makeup. Generally foundation, eye liner and mascara, and lip gloss is all I do for my roll my @$$ out of bed and trudge to class days. Again, maybe if I stripped that would be different too.

    Shopping- love that too but I don't have the money.

    Plastic Surgery- my boobs are kinda small but perky. (And I am a very small girl so they look normal on me.) But I have considered getting them done (but one day I want to breastfeed my kids and I am not sure if you can with implants, anybody know?) I have also considered my nose but I don't think I would get that. Either way, I DEFINATLY don't have any money for that.

    Exercise- All I have to say is thank god (as well as my mommy and daddy for their genes) so that I have a high metabolism so I stay skinny as hell while being lazy at the same time.

    Spa- Well hell ya! Again, don't have the money.

    Beauty sleep- I wish I could sleep between 7-8 hours a day but I don't get that as it is (hence I am writing this at the hour that I am.)

    Eat Healthy- The healthiest thing I might eat is a bowl of cheeriors. I mostly live off of Taco Bell and Pizza (lovely dorm food.) Again for this I have to thank god and my mommy and daddy for my high metabolism.
    ~*~ I must not fear. ~*~
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

    I picked shopping. I am a small petite girl and i have some muscle definition kept up by dancing and caring for my daughter. I buy the basics, fake eyelashes, the occasional outfit..etc. I get enough sleep most of the time.

    I like to wrok on getting naturally prettier by getting extra sleep..eating good healthy foods, and workin out. I also do my own nails hair and makeup......well hedi's salon cuts and highlight/lowlites it but I do all the styling and everything. Another way to look hotter is to go to the tanner or the mystic tan.....and the aloe vera in mystic helps smooth skin and helps wrinkles....Take vitimans.....and vita K is good for under eye circles.....one more must beauty ritual is to soak up in a hot steamy bath with cucumbers on my lids....oh yea.......lol...

    I have to say I get my fingers and toenails done in a french manicure every two weeks, of course wear makeup, and butt makeup LOL.

    I always wear false lashes.

    Being black get my hair weaved every 4 weeks with 22 -26 inch hair that hangs 3/4 of the way down my back. I try to work out 3-4 times a week. I'm striving to make my stomach flatter but it is hard at my age.

    I minimize the amount of caffeine I drink and never use table salt or sugar but always use equal and drink caffeine free diet sodas and 64-96 ounces of water per day. I always drink skim milk.

    I take lots of vitamins daily.

    I also wear nice coordinated costumes.

    I am a non smoker and don't drink excessive amounts of alcohol.

    UPDATE to my original post since it was awhile ago and things have changed for me

    NAIL OR HAIR SALON <-- I consider a luxury. Even the $15 to have my hair straightened @ work I have cut out. I want to eventually have enough $$ so I can lighten my hair to a more sandy brown colour with highlights.

    MAKE UP ONLY <-- Well.. once something has been used up I will replace it. I used to also opt for the $15 full face (foundation, eyes, lips) @ work from the make-up artists but have cut that out too.

    SHOPPING <--- I try to buy second-hand/used from other dancers first before heading off to "the shops" (which are Foxy Babes and Secret Desires for me locally). Buying second-hand/used from other dancers I usually only have to get outfits slightly altered.

    COSMETIC SURGERY <--- Never say never. I've learnt to keep an open mind about this esp. a BA. Might.. might not... well... let's say I havn't done it yet... just that I don't want to say "never".

    EXERCISE <-- Besides the activity that I get from work (stage dancing, lap dancing, walking the floor, up/down stairs).. I also walk, do Winsor Pilates, bicycle. I'm not at my best right now as I've slacked off ... when I do have the dicipline to actually be more active... do my Pilates more often... and so forth. I definately see the benefits not just feel them.

    SPA <--- I would love too! Anyone want to give me a gift certificate to a Day Spa for a birthday present this year?

    BEAUTY SLEEP <---- I only need 5 hours of straight deep sleep then only "power naps" thereafter to help me last until the wee hours of the morning.

    EAT HEALTHY <--- I'm doing this one rather well at least. I treat myself to "bad" food a couple of times a week or not at all.... all in moderation. I try to have a balanced diet whilst also drinking daily my V8 Hot N Spicy Vegie juice and having 4 ounces or more of my Goji Juice.

    Nail or hair salon---I am a big sucker for this....I keep my roots up to date bout 3-4weeks for a touch up. I get my nails(hands/feet) done 1 ever 2weeks.

    Make up----I am always trying out new colors...I love makeup!!

    Shopping--I love shopping for dancewear....I try and make sure it will last.....I usually buy from Flirt.

    Cosmetic Surgery--I have had a boob job...I do get dermaplasma injected in my lips 1cc every 3-4months.

    Exercise-----I workout roughly 7days a week---lift weights 3x a week...play tennis....and box. I love the way you feel after a hard workout.

    Spa---Again big sucker!!!! Each week...I get a deep tissue massage. Once a month I get a facial.

    Sleep--I try to go to bed early...I have to get up early due to class..I roughly get about 6hrs of sleep..

    Eat healthy---Yes!!!! I am a health nut!!! I rarely eat out....I write down everything that goes in my mouth....I keep energized with protein shakes, fruit, tofu.....I may have 1 glass of wine here and there....

    I use bare minerals with loreal airware too lilac!!

    Anyway, spa pedicure once a month. Fingernails I change a few times a week, so that I do myself.
    I get a gloss in my hair every three or four months (I would every month if it weren't so bad to do it often!!). Highlights twice a year.
    Don't exercise too often (as in-at all), but I do walk miles a day. Once it gets colder I'll have to figure something out.
    No surgery, love to shop. Buy new makeup colors when I'm in the mood. I DON'T get enough sleep, that would be the first thing to change if I had any more time. I try to eat healthy but two nights a week I end up binging on something that;s bad for me.
