As for how she looks good despite being hungover the next morning, she's still wearing a face-full of a makeup...which is something I would never do. Seriously. I could be comatose and somehow my arm would be involuntarily wiping my eye makeup off.

I don't know how much makeup she has on there, but she does always wear false eyelashes and that makes a huge difference. Mascara always makes me look a hundred times more awake and alive and together. Waking up with nice full falsies on would enhance that. Although I'm amazed that the falsies didn't curl up and end up poking her in the eye and blinding her in the night, as they would with me.

It was a lot of fun, I love dancing, and I've always been very pro-sex workers, and never had any qualms with exposing my body (heh).
The girls were lovely, probably because I was really nervous and asked them loads of stuff about shaving, costumes and dancing and always respected the weird club heirarchy.
I would not recommend it if you have any issues with men seeing your body, or issues with basically lying to men to get their money. Also DO NOT straight out ask the other girls their feminist opinions on stripping! They probably have kids and debt etc and will not appreciate someone they will perceive as a priviledged, educated girl coming in and presenting competition for money they actually need to survive, simply as a sociological experiment.
I say do it if you want to, and are in an emotionally stable place (cause it can be draining). Message me on details of the clubs you are looking at, as there are lots of different types (fully nude, topless, different alcohol laws etc).
I had a lot of fun and made bank, but it is a lot of hard, physically and emotionally exhasting work and your experience depends a lot on your relationships with the other dancers. I'm in school now and draw on my experiences (and dancer savings) all the time.

- visit to a psychic
- someone saying, "I'm not in this to make friends!"
- someone threatening to leave the show
- tear-filled confrontation over undone chores
I'm waiting, Oxygen.
