All about my boobs...



Good article...
this is really good...
I'm glad that it identifies that strippers do have issues, but not necessarily any more or less than a non-dancer....except the stigma.
And it's do dead on. What makes girls leave dancing is usually the stigma associated with it. It's jsut one of those jobs where you sacrifice a normal social life. People who work long hours or travel a lot fall into that category too, but they are men and they are jobs they went to college/grad school for, so they are not nearly as likely to quit.
Dancers: intelligent risk-takers who are comfortable exploring things other people are scared of.... I like this description!
The author of "Candy Girl" is named....Diablo Cody...?!? Really? Why not Dakota Satanspawn, or Santanico Pandemonium*? ; P
I came from a very conservative family & had to disown them because they took my job too personally. This all boils down to "Ego" and how everyone is convinced that a stripper is doing her job because of other people & "abuse", not because of the $20s stuffed in her garter.....
* (Bonus points if you remember the stripper Santanico & what movie she was in....)
^^ Ooh! Ooh! Salma Hayek in "From Dusk Til Dawn"!
Woo hoo! What do I win?

It's a pretty good article!
I thought this comment was a pretty good observation!
"you'll find more drugs in a high school or a mainstream nightclub then you will in a strip club."
^^^ Good catch there! True, that. (And frankly, you might find close to as many single moms.)
