When I was stripping after getting divorced and paying off my debt, getting my own apartment and such, people would always say, you're too good for this job. The truth is no one is too good for any job. We are all lucky to have work of any kind. And even luckier when we love our jobs. And I loved to dance. Stripping was awesome for me. I never became the drug addicted single mom that is scared of her biker boyfriend that everyone THINKS a stripper is.
I fell in love with my body and found confidence for the first time in my life. It led me to fitness competitions and enabled me to finally fix my sad floppy stretched out boobs. (Pic on Instagram)
because of my larger than life stripper personality I got to host the adult entertainment awards and dancers for cancer where we raised tens of thousands of dollars for breast cancer over the years.
I was also was asked To perform and teach at seduction clinics where women from all walks of life wore heels (some for the very first time) learned pole moves and how to pose their body no matte what shape it was in the most attractive ways for the boudoir camera. Inspiring other women to love themselves and encouraging the freedoms to allow yourself to feel sexy. Teaching that sexy isn't a dress size, sexy is confidence.
So Was I too good for the job? Nah, that job was a blessing and a launching pad to so much more.
Don't look at a job that you think is beneath you and think its a means to an end. It's a means to a beginning.
So, am I so much more than porn? Sure I'm all kinds if things. And just like stripping this too is a launching pad to the next phase of my life. Whatever that may be. So don't look down on an industry you don't understand and make assumptions that one persons value is greater or less than someone else.
I am having the time of my life. My everyday life is filled with love and creativity. We received emails saying "I can't believe you do all that kinky stuff sober. That's inspiring." And "my boyfriend and I watch your videos and now he dresses up as a nerd and lets me take control too. Our sexy life is awesome."
The ripple effect of our porn has proven to be a positive one. And that makes for a damn good job if you ask me.
So no, the sad thing isn't that im so much more than porn. The great thing is that porn (or any job) will lead to so much more than who/what/where I am now.
