    Default Hanging up my stilleto's for good

    Well I am retiring now. I haven't been posting because I am pregnant with our 2nd child and have had really bad morning (all-day) sickness. I am about 4 months now and am starting to look a little thick in the middle. I have been semi-retired for a while now but it will be strange to be a full time stay at home mom now.

    Anyone know anything about pools??? I am interviewing pool companies because we are planning on having an inground pool and spa with a waterfall installed this spring and this is taking up much of my days. I never realized how different pricing could be on something like this. It is kinda a pain in the ass because I know nothing about pools and there are like a thousand different choices.

    I'll probably still be around even though I will be officially retired. I feel like I can really be myself here. No one gets pissy and asks me what size I wear, or makes snarky comments about my implants.

    Yeah I'm retired for now as well, but I still love it here. You should definitely stick around.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about pools.

    BTW, there are HEAPS of retired strippers on this board. Just because you aren't actively working in the industry doesn't mean you stop coming by and contributing...

    I belong to a breastfeeding message board and there are woman who activly post who havnt breastfed in years or never breastfed at all.... its more of just a place for moms with breastfeeding in common.

    Point is.... dont feel like your advise and wisdom goes away once you stop.... My son is weaning but I am still activly posting there.... Things like this are always a part of your life exspecially when you have compassion for them.

    ^^^ Agreed. Your pool spa sounds great.....just be sure to get it fenced in super securely with little ones.

    When you are listening to a new song on the radio, you think to yourself "Hey, that would be a good song to dance to". Sometimes I even imagine how I would dance to a new song.

    sassfire - you should do a search for the "you know you're a dancer when..." thread - it's fun and has more of those moments like you mentioned.

    And Jasmine, first of all, congratulations, you mentioned being pregnant in another post, but I didn't know you were 4 months already! How exciting. And of course, you have to stick around! You have to tell us all about the baby, and also, once a stripper always a stripper!

    I recently retired because I felt like I was getting too old and jaded for it - and I'm only 23! I did it for 5 years, and even though I kind of feel like I left a good party before it was over, that's better than staying past my welcome.

    Still, I miss it terribly. I cry about it sometimes! No other job measures up, but that time in my life has passed and it's time to move onto different things.

    There's life after dancing! You'd be surprised how helpful the things you learned when you were a dancer are in the "real world".

    best of luck Jasmine, but never say 'never'. Dancing has a mysterious way of re-entering the picture when you least expect it !

    Thanks for the support everyone. I'm not saying I will never dance again. I'm just not planning on it unless we really need the cash, which isn't really likely since I used most of my dancing money to pay for my husbands and my college education (he has an MBA). I did the whole stripper retirment planning thing, even payed off a good chunk of our house.
    I'll be 31 in a couple of days too, so I don't feel like I'm leaving the game to soon. I definitely plan to keep posting, as I really have learned a lot over the years and feel I have a lot of good advice especially about how to maintain a successfull relationship while dancing.
