How do you expect to find professional full time work with a gap in your resume, assuming that you won't write down "stripper" on your resume?

I did. Chatted with management for a few minutes, danced, got the job. If you look decent, and are not an obvious psycho/addict, you have the job.

Did you have to learn to dance or did you just wing it?

I pay a fee to the house for the privilege ("") of dancing, and also tip out the bouncers. It's standard and mandated by the house: no guesswork on my part.

seriously, names. what sorts of names do the other dancers actually have, and what sorts of names are chosen as stage names?

Sorry, missed first part of this question. Cash tips, as in a restaurant. I claim my tips accurately, though many dancers underreport.

Sorry you're not entertained. See previous post as to why I chose this job.

I did not. I think the whole WOHM v SAHM "debate" is a farce that only keeps women from progressing. That said, many women I work with would have NO WAY to earn what they do in a so-called straight job, and I think it's anti feminist to shame women for leveraging the resources they do have to make money.

Are you shaved?

Yeah right!

But is your name a stripper name? According to DCUM, a stripper name is any name except Caroline Grace or Elizabeth Grace. (How DCUM knows this, I don't know.)

I have a stripper name, of course. This is a safety issue.

This is actually a pretty awesome response.
