I have a part-time volunteer position relevant to my field.

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?

You learn as you go. I'm naturally graceful and athletic, and have (non-nude) dancing in my background. It's not rocket science!

Anonymity (or near-anonymity) is invaluable. No potentially personally identifiable info, sorry!

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.

This is actually a pretty awesome response.

What we want to know is whether the women have "stripper names" (in real life, or as stage names). That is all.

Does your DH ever come to your club?

Has stripping (and the attention from men) made you feel sexually charged and thereby improved your sex life?

Do you spray tan?

What are your measurements and weight and height?

I answered this earlier in the thread, but yes, all dancers have stripper names. It is an issue of safety. No one at work knows my real name (save for the hiring manager - you put your real name on the application, of course).

And would your answer be different about your DS?

that is why I said "sorts of" names. If you read the name threads on this site you'll see that the issue of what is or isn't a "stripper name" comes up often. There is a fear among the middle class that giving your kid the wrong name will doom them to a career like stripping. The most useful thread we ever had on it was one where someone had recently been at a strip club and posted the list of stage names and instead of being what's commonly ID'd here as "stripper names" it was girl-next-door stuff like Amanda. That's all we're asking. Nobody is asking for your or anyone else's PII.
