    Dress respectfully and don't let them try and make you look like a goof in the pictures.

    lol deogol...yeah, i'm probably gonna wear just some short "yoga" type shorts and a tank top. barefoot.

    i'm just trying to figure out which "pose" to use.. I think they want an invert pose. apparently she liked the goofy one on the website with all the bubbles.

    ...are you sure? They could put a slant on the article different than what you think. Might want to get the storyline in writing before signing on the dotted line.

    I can't imagine them being willing to put it in writing for this kind of article.

    I've dealt with the press a lot as a stripper, as an activist, and as a theatrical performer. The way to handle an interview is to prepare in advance. Try to imagine the questions they might ask (the best way is by looking at a few previous articles on the subject, which you can find by googling). Write them down. Think of answers you'd like to give to those questions. Write down one or two answers to each question.

    You can't prepare for all possible questions, but odds are they aren't planning to do either an in-depth investigation or a Jerry Springer on you.

    It ought to be fun! And it'll probably go really fast.

    For example, the most common question I'm asked is:
    Q: "What's the difference between what you teach and strip joint stripping?"
    Prepared A: "In strip joints, the dancers are usually looking to dance for individuals; in burlesque, the dancers are usually performing to the entire crowd."

    Of course both a burlesque dancer and a strip joint dancer can point out ways that this answer isn't always true, but it's true enough for a quickie interview. And notice that I don't make myself appear to have issues--I try to keep it either neutral or positive, because, as I say, it's not likely to go very in-depth. If I said something that hinted that I had negative feelings about either burlesque or strip joints, a bad reporter could then take the interview in a different direction.

    Other common questions are, "How did you get into this?" and "What kind of people take classes from you?" "Do the women who take classes from you find it empowering?" It's not that hard to guess what they'll ask about.

    Here's an interview with me on nerve.com:
    http://www.nerve.com/regulars/lifesw...ppersadvocate/

    The answers are actually edited and condensed and combined, and are not literal transcripts of what I said, but it's still a fairly positive piece.

    Plus, I have a website on interaction between press and sex workers (although I'm guessing the reporter you're about to talk to is going to write a sweet, cute article):
    http://www.swimw.org

    There's an article on there about how to talk to the press.

    i already did the "interview". this is a very small article. it's a section called "bits and pieces". it's a positive piece, pretty much a "look at this interesting thing this local person is doing" type thing.

    the questions she asked were...how'd you get into this? what's the best thing about it? where are you going to teach/do parties? how did you feel when you got that first invert? (told i felt like a kid that just learned to do a back flip! lol) etc

    This isn't going to be a "bad" article in any way. I can't wait to see it though!

    ok, went and got an "outfit" since nothing of mine really "goes". I just got a black tight tshirt (one of those layering ones) and some hot pink "cheer" shorts. I"m thinking of putting "GotPole.com" on the butt, lol
