Some may be lies, but I was talking to a rather open girl about her non-stripper life - computer programmer...kinda shocked me but I believed her...it was dead, she already advised she didn't do extras in VIP and wasn't pushing for it. Always hurts a bit when I remember that they can make more money stripping than I sometimes do as an attorney.
Same day, another one told me she really wants to open a pretzel making food cart - I'm in NYC so it's not that wild of an idea but will completely fail. Didn't have the heart to tell her...


I know a 37 year old dancer who's a single mom and who used to work as a Graphic Designer, a field in which she holds a Bachelors degree. She makes significantly more money dancing than she did in advertising. However time is marching on, she's been dancing for 15 years and frankly doesn't know the graphics field anymore. It's one field that has completely changed from analog to digital, so she's looking at other careers for the future.
