so...
...I'm thinking about giving dancing a try.
This summer would be the soonest I could get started, and I think it's something I'd really like. The thing is, some days I feel really great about it. Other days I wake up thinking, "What the hell am I even considering this for? I can't do THAT!" Then I read some of the posts on this board, and I feel better again.
Although my friends are supportive and aren't the kind to judge me for something like this, some of them will say things like "Oh, but you're so sweet and innocent! I can't picture you as a stripper!" or worry about me getting caught up in drugs or extras.
I can also be pretty shy, but only in certain situations. It's weird, because I'm an actress, and being on stage doesn't bother me AT ALL, and I feel so confident and outgoing. So if I were to start stripping, I'd probably think of it as just another acting thing, except with slightly different costumes.
I admit, I'm a little naive. Which, besides having money for college, is one of the main reasons I'd like to be a stripper. I think it'd teach me a lot about being independent and dealing with people and avoiding the wrong guys outside the club.
And I've never done drugs, or even had sex. Which I know is kinda strange, but might that be a good thing? Maybe it'll make it easier for me to have the self-control to stay away from that stuff at work, since I've stayed away from it in life? Is it hard to avoid, as long as you know from the start what your boundaries are?
And, most importantly, do you gals ENJOY what you do? Or do you feel used or dirty sometimes? I think I'd much rather have fun dancing around and feeling sexy than work a minimum wage food service job.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice/encouragement. Thanks!

Re: so...
You need to be confident in yourself... you need to be able to walk up to complete strangers that you wouldnt even give the time of day to outside work and act like they are you best friend. Dancing is a lot like acting I guess so if you can put that acting face on you should be okay. Im a bit shy as well, so I use that to my advantage. Im the innocent little school girl(i have that girl next door look that helps me as well).
If you can handle guys trying to take advantage of you... trying to hassle you for 2 for 1 deals, getting everything from marriage proposals to 'ill give you 10 grand if you meet me at my hotel after' you should be fine.
Im not trying to talk you out of dancing, im telling you what my experiances have been.
If you can keep your head straight you should do great. I dont do drugs, have no desire to, I get offers but I just say 'no thanks'. If you dont want to drink and a custy tries to get you to drink, order a 'fake drink' set this up with your waitress/bartender before your shift and tip them. As for sex... hell who cares im sure there are other virgin dancers out there.
And honestly it takes a lot to fall into extras, me personally, I am repulsed by most of the guys I dance for. I get offers to meet them outside the club I giggle and say 'no thats okay I try and be a good little girl and besides I have a friend who meets me after work to keep me out of trouble'.
I do enjoy my job... most days. Its fun being able to just socialise with people, you meet some fun interesting people all the time. And who doesnt enjoy guys falling in love with them every night? LoL.
I say go for it, you never know till you try right? And if you dont like it... theres always waitressing/bartending to get into.
I recomend doing lots of reading on SW... look through old posts. This place is an endless supply of knowledge and the girls here are AMAZING, I've learned a lot of things on here.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you can give it a try...

Re: so...
You should read up on SW. You found a good place. I would probably never gotten up the balls to dance if it wasn't for SW. I am not innocent, but staying away from drinking and drugs isn't hard if you have willpower. I experimented w/ drugs in college b/f I even started stripping. You should visit clubs and check them out as as custie. It is an act, you have to know how to sell yourself. I enjoy stripping a lot. It is liberating and it feels amazing to have guys lusting after you. There are also a lot of assholes in the clubs, and you will get disrespected. It is more than just dancing around on stage naked. That is not how you earn your $$. You should go to an amateur nite, and try it you'll never know unless you try.....
