Well, I've listened to all the counterpoints and I'm hereby repentant. I've been passing moral judgments from my temple on high. Advocating big Scarlet letters for the extras girls. And not only that, but I'm not being pragmatic enough in how I view my work! Just a silly girl wasting her time daydreaming because it's not going to change from my talking about it, so I should adapt. Thought I had to a certain extent but I guess I really need to get down on all fours and suck like a heavy duty ShopVac. I'm now sure I can't adapt and bitch at the same time, btw. It's one or the other, sorta like walking and chewing gum. For a stripper, the two don't mix.
I also realize the only value in complaining in this forum is "therapeutic." As a girl, I need that outlet for my fragile emotions, being on the rag once a month and all. I've perished the thought that we might actually cause some dancers to think about the issue and approach work with a little more drive and self-confidence to be a success without extras because it might make sense to them from a ...oh, let's say... "pragmatic way over the long term." Nope, impacting change by discussion, what an urban myth! Truth is, I've got to withdraw from the dis-da-bitch fest this thread is perpetuating.
(Sorry, but my sarcastic self takes over sometimes.)
