I am having a dilemma and I wanted to ask the opinion of those on Mumsnet.
I am mid 30s, in a professional career, married and with a young family. So far, so respectable.
As a teenager, I did a few years of circus skills classes. Recently I have restarted and joined a local troupe which performs at parades, public events, parties etc. It's currently a hobby, but some paid opportunities have come up recently, although I haven't yet taken any of them up. My main activities are juggling, stiltwalking and (some) acrobatics. When we do public events, we tend to get a lot of press/social media attention. I admit that I really enjoy this side of it, and enjoy feeling 'fabulous' which is a contrast to my deskbound day job. I was considering making an Instagram account where I posted pictures and videos of my activities, partly just for my own personal gratification and partly for the potential paid opportunities that might come up.
My doubt lies in the fact that lots of the events we do feature outfits that quite revealing or figure hugging... for example, a colourful leotard over fishnet tights, or a lycra crop top and hotpants. They're not 'racy' per say, but they're definitely more revealing that your average workwear!
My current workplace is very liberal and no-one judges me for having this hobby. I do wonder though, if I were to change jobs, especially to a more traditional/conservative environment, could having this kind of content on social media harm my chances? A friend of mine in the troupe apparently had some negative reactions from her colleagues about it, and this got me wondering.
So especially if you work in a more traditional or conservative workplace, do you think someone could be judged for having these types of photos online? Or am I massively overthinking?
