How/why did you become a dancer? I've asked a couple of dancers I've become good friends with (more than just a "regular" and they never seem to give me a straight answer.

I was super, super shy before I was a dancer. I'd never even been to a strip club before I went in to get a job. I actually went in to apply to be a waitress, but the manager told me I'd make more money as a dancer so I should try that instead. Somewhere between filling out that application and talking to a couple dancers, I was taken to the dressing room, loaned a pair of stripper shoes that I promptly fell out of, and tumbled on to the stage.

I'd never been so terrified in my life. I had no idea what to do, or how to do it, and it felt like the whole planet was watching me up there on that stage. For the most part the audition was a blur, I just remember getting off stage 10 minutes later, having nearly $30 bucks, and realizing how long I'd have to work at DQ or Chick-Fil-A to make that same $30 dollars.

I was scared shitless, so I packed my stuff, talked to the manager, and told him I'd decide if I could come back to try again within 48 hours. 48 hours later I worked my first full shift and never looked back. I got lucky, I had a 'stripper idol' that helped me learn along the way, and I'm still learning from her today. Without her I'd have probably not even lasted a month before getting fired.

You've got a question? Maybe I've got an answer..
