Exotic dancing: Facts and fiction

it to third base with.

MYTH: Strippers live to party and party to live.

FACT: Strippers get tired, too. Working until two a.m. (or later) in 6-inch stilettos can wear a girl out - especially if she's got to get up at seven to get the kids washed, brushed, and off to school and then jet over to another job or a college class. Of course, some girls don't have other things to do until the next afternoon - and if they're making tons of cash and in that phase of their life where everything's fun, they may just be living party to party.

The most important thing to remember is that strippers are people, too. They live, breathe, eat and sleep just like everyone else. They choose to do a job that many people wouldn't be considered appropriate for simply because of their physical attributes and people skills - and like it or not, there's a market for exotic dancing.

Whether a girl is making tons of cash for retirement, stashing it away for a trip she's been wanting to take or just paying the bills, she's just doing a job; I wouldn't be upset with a garbage man because he handles the trash (a job many people wouldn't dream of taking) or angry with a Soldier because sometimes they have to shoot people (another job some people would never consider) - and I'd definitely never mind that a girl is out there making money doing something she does well.
