    Default don't know why this makes me so sad!

    Well, I think the time has come for me to quit dancing. I know my club will let me pop in from time to time if I really need the money, but I'm pretty sure I'm done being a stripper. I"m just tired of doing it. I enjoy being on stage and the attention I get and feeling sexy, but when it comes to actually having to sit with a guy and "work", I'm so over that. I have a lot of other plans in my life right now. The thing is, I don't know why this makes me so sad. I need to go in and clean my locker out and I know I will probably cry. I love my club, it's a nice mellow club with decent customer and decent money, and I come in whenever I want. I would never dance in another club in this city. For those of you retired dancers, was it this emotional for you when you quit? I think a lot of it for me is I love being around all the other people who work there (not just the dancers, but the DJs, bartenders, housemoms and managers.) I think it just feels like I would be leaving my "other family" I of course will come in to hang out cuz a lot of them ARE like family and are very good friends. I don't know, I was just wondering if other girls have gone thru this whole "I'm so sad to leave but don't want to dance anymore" thing.

    I'm afraid I don't know much about the dancing part of this, but I certainly understand when you sense you've moved on--and you have, already, it seems--and life is about to change. That is always a tough time: a closing of a chapter. I did wonder, though, whether, since there is much you like about where you've worked, you might be able to put together a job there retaining the aspects of what you enjoy, but getting rid of the rest. If you have a second family there, it seems they might understand and still very much want you there in another capacity--what do you think?

    ^^^actually yes, I was thinking about housemoming or even waitressing. But the waitressing would have to wait till I'm off probation to get my liquor liscence (Sept.). We have some of our girls who danced forever housemom occasionally when they need an extra housemom.
    I think that is what is tough, it IS like closing a chapter in my life.

    I hope you'll still post here....There's many jokes about how strippers never really quit for good, or the difference between a SC waitress and a dancer is "two weeks"

    It's a push pull, it's natural...I've taken long breaks from dancing but always missed the money and the good excitement....

    But anyway, I'm happy for you if you feel it's the right time to move on. I wish more people had the clarity and focus to know when to move on (in any place in life, not just dancing.)

    Vaya con Dios, Buena Suerte!!!!!

    Yeah, I def. still want to post here. At first, I didn't think I would "fit in" here anymore and that actually made me sad. That's one reason I have rarely been on SW lately (also the recent bitchiness and hatefullnes that went on not too long ago). But I know a ton of the girls here are retired dancers or work in strip clubs but aren't dancers, etc.
    Oh and I know there's a good chance that I'm not quitting "for good". I can't tell you how many girls have a had their "last night" dancing and we all get on stage with the girl and dance on them.....and then they're back! LOL. And a lot of the girls have gone back and forth between stripping and waitressing!! But that's what awsome about this line of work, there are always other options!

    It's normal to be a little sad when leaving this industry. Dancing makes you feel beautiful and powerful and sexy, and its fun (it's dealing with the customers that can be a pain).
    It is great to be retired though. You no longer have to freak if they cancel your hair appointment, or you break a nail and can't get in until the next day, or you get a zit. I still take good care of myself, but it is nice not to have to have everything together all the time.

    So in the end it sounds as if you are just moving closer to doing the things you want to do--following your heart a little more closely--and I don't think it is an ending...sounds like progress to me! Good luck with all of it and I'm glad you'll be back here to tell us how it's going!
