Good stuff. I feel where you're coming from. I got my degree and worked at a newspaper but the office politics and day to day bullshyt had me likeevery Sunday night every time it was time to start a new work week. Being an entrepreneur is definitely the way to go if you can do it. I work from home now and do standup and feel you on the freedom to create your own schedule thing.
And it's always nice to hear about women who make the decision to use their bodies to get paid in a way that's a choice and not searching for daddy or burying pain. Seems like it'll be an adventure if you hit the major cities like you want to. Was there a big adjustment to having to get naked in front of strangers?
Since I live an unconventional life, I'm always fascinated talking to people who also live unconventional lives.
I'm glad you feel me. Working for that company felt like slavery. I remember people were literally afraid of my old boss. Grown people who were older than her were terrified of her. They wouldn't even pick up their paychecks if they knew she was working. On top of that the customers were evil and the co worker were always plotting and scheming on each other. That shyt was hell.
Actually being naked is the easy part. Three things were really hard for me. The first was sales. A lot people think you just get up and shake your butt and make tons of money and it is not like that at all. Networking and sales are everything. If you expect to be making good money all the time you have to get regulars and get to know people in your club and in the industry. Getting good with the DJ can be the difference between $200 and $1000. You have to keep a good rep too b/c everyone will know your business. All people in the industry do is gossip.
The second was getting use to people touching me. I am not talking about touching on "sexual" areas. People rub your legs, arms, back and run their fingers through you're hair. They always want to rub my feet and give back massages. Getting smacked on the butt is expected but when people want to caress you like a long lost lover it's a little weird. People are crazy affectionate.
The third was being worshipped. People will tell you all the time that you are the most perfect being that every grace the Earth with a loving look in their eyes. I was very offputting at first. There are people who can tell me exactly what I was wearing in detail every time they have seen me. I had one customer who literally got my name made into a belt buckle and wrote me a book of poetry and got it printed and bound. It's nice but a little creepy at times. Now I am use to it. I know it is good natured so I am always polite about it.
