I'm not a stripper and I'm not quite ready to get up there and audition, but I've been considering it for quite a while.
My question is...is there any way to be different looking and not be the "scary" dancer?
I'm pale, and I have lots of freckles...and I've got a few pretty big tattoos, with more on the way, and multiple piercings. It's all fine and good in my line of work (I'm a tattoo artist and don't plan on quitting) but I see stripping as a hobby, something I'll do for my own thrills.
All the dancers I've seen are really tan and glamorous-looking, with one exception. "Raven" was her stage name, and she was REALLY pale, like milk-white, and she had green dread extensions, black lipstick, and danced to industrial/goth music. Definitely not my thing.
I don't want to be the "scary" dancer, but I just am not able to have that time-tested stripper look. My skin doesn't tan, and spray tans look crappy on me. I'm Irish. It's just painfully fake on me. I don't want to be a novelty act like Raven (she worked at a club where ALL the other girls were "normal" strippers). I want to do something at least a little classy, not a shock act.
Should I hang up my heels before I even put them on, or is there hope for a girl that's a little different looking?
It's really the freckles that I'm worried about.
