Hi, first I just want to thank everyone who takes the time to share their experiences and ideas on this board. I've been seriously thinking about dancing for a while now and tonight (Valentine's Day - ha!) aftert some reasearch I went to a club all on my own to check it out and talk to some of the girls. I ended up being offered a job; I still have to audition but the manager said it was a formality and that unless I'm an abnormally bad dancer there would be no problem. I'm pretty excited; I think I can do this, and I KNOW I need the money, but I'm nervous about what some of my friends and *gulp* my family will think. I've always been the 'smart girl' so the few people I've talked to about it have had the stereotypical comments about self-respect and intelligence and bla bla bla. For myself, I believe that if there are guys out there willing to pay me for it, there's no reason in hell why I shouldn't exploit the opportunity. I know I'll respect myself in the morning. Anyway, I guess my question is, how did you deal (if at all) with the issue of unsupportive loved ones when you got started? Any tips on how to get them to think differently about stripping? Or how to not think less of me just because of stripping? And, while I'm posting, what do you think about 'Adrienne' for a stage name? I have no idea if there's a strategy to choosing those things or what. Thanks all! ~Petals
