Are people really struggling to interpret plain English? Ugly women are not whores. Ok?? Women who perform extras are. The reasoning behind them doing these extras is because it was their way of competing when they could not compete on a different criteria. It's not a difficult concept.
So don't put words in my mouth because you read one thing and twist it into another.
For the record, I would be perfectly happy for a daughter of mine to be a dancer. The only reason I would be worried would be her driving home late at night on her own.
I do appreciate what you say though when you suggest I am the exception, not the rule. I'm not an exception, like I say, 50% of the girls are like me, but then my story doesn't make interesting reading. Far more juicy to get a scoop from a dirty dancer, who gets touched up, paints a sordid, down trodden view of the industry. But yes, absolutely, as one person, I do not speak for every dancer's experience.
I was a top earner, but not by much, most of the girls I was friends with would take home at least £1500 a week. And in response, I earn significantly more as a model than I do as a Chartered Accountant. And dancing is paid all cash in hand, unless you have a very good night, and the club just doesn't have enough in the safe to pay you, so you get a cheque. And yes, I declared everything. The clubs are watched by the tax office like a hawk.
And get over the name calling for goodness sake, my repeated use of idiot is from some person earlier calling me it. If you read the thread....
Thanks Sugar for providing an opinion on something that most people here will only ever know anything about because of the negative press.
Welcome :) I find it hilarious that knowing first hand exactly what goes on that people with no clue about the whole thing will insist they know just as much about it as I do, and happily tell me that no, this is not right.
I also have no idea what this Madonna/Whore thing is...so off to google with interest.....
