    There's another reason you might want first-hand experience either as dancer or waitress. You are probably not getting a fully representative cross-section of dancers here on SW. Everyone here is different, of course, but we do mostly have some things in common, like owning computers. IMO the women here are a bit more educated and savvy than the average girl I meet, at least at my club. All kinds of people dance for all sorts of reasons, and there are certainly some who probably conform more closely to your down-on-the-luck image -- but they don't necessarily join online community forums.

    I would do it. Why not regardless of credentials or anything else. My daughter is back at school, I'm taking a small hiatus from work for a little while and quite frankly, *sigh* I am B-O-R-E-D, bored. I could scrub my floors or something, lord knows they need it, huh, doubtful.

    Default Interviews

    I think most girls would be willing to talk to you. I know that before I started dancing I had a huge misconception of what a stripper was. Now that I have been dancing for a while I have seen what it's really about. It's a great source of income and you can be as creative, artistic, and seductive as you may not be able to be in your day to day life. I know that I work a regular 9 to 5 in a financial company and have a college degree but it still doesn't support my family. That's just the way life is these days.

    Would it be different if it was a male writer, especially considering that even if he did try dancing (something I'm in no position to do with my body right now), his experiences would be markedly different because of prevailing social views regarding the genders?

    I agree, nothing expresses understanding than experience...but in the absence of that, I feel the next bext thing is sharing. No one experience or cross section will obviously be true of everyone, everywhere...but I think it's better than not trying at all.

Granted this has just been my experiences and maybe everyone else's are different.
    Ps. This is just my two cents and I'm not trying to flame you. Good luck with your book.
    You've got to be kidding, right? I don't know a single dancer who started dancing as a "lifestyle" choice. I know that many continue to dance after they have climbed out of their formerly bad postitions (such as myself) because dancing does offer so much more then a financial reward.

    I think that most young women don't go through their schooling saying "someday I'm going to be a stripper!"

    I think most of us ended up here. Now, maybe this wasn't my only option, but staying with and abusive husband didn't seem like a good alternative either. Oh, and my part time waitressing job wasn't covering the bills, and school? Forget about it. How many ladies are dancing to cover tution expenses? How many are dancing to care for their children (due to dead beat dads)?

    Okay, so I am ranting now. I just wanted to point out that most of the ladies in the clubs across america aren't dancing because that was a goal. Yes, the woman down on her luck stereotype is prevaliant, but stereotypes are there for a reason, aren't they?

    A good book to read to get some insight is Strip City by Lily Burana. It is an autobiography by a real live stripper!


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
