stripper twice today…. it made me quite agitated.
Conversation 1 – The Mercantile Hotel, Dublin. Lunch with an agent/promoter who is organising venue/advertising etc for our Burlesque show.
P: So, now we have most things sorted how about we go up to my
hotel room and make a few deals that will benefit us both.
(puts hand on my thigh)
ST: (removing hand off thigh) I don’t make deals in hotel rooms i
i make them over lunch. Email me the details and we’ll get it
finalised.
P: Now, i think we could become good friends and come to an
enjoyable and entertaining arrangement.
ST: I think you’ve arrived at an unfortunate misunderstanding.
Thank you for your time and the lunch.(Gets off chair, to leave)
P: Sit down, i didn’t mean to offend you, it’s just you’re a
stripper and my business partner thought you would be
accommodating. Also you look like you’d like sex.
ST: (holding in the urge to punch his face but smiling sweetly) I
would like sex. Just not with an ass h*le like you. Ever.
By the way, i’m not a stripper, i don’t grind my ass on
someone’s crotch so that they get a hard on.anymore I am a
striptease artist with more emphasis on the tease than the
strip and just so you know just because someone takes off
their clothes for entertainment purposes does not mean that
they jump into bed with anyone or that they are easy. It’s
gentlemanly to treat someone with respect no matter what their
occupation.
P: Look, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.
Conversation 2: My daughter went to her first community end of term disco tonight, it was arranged by two of the schools in the area. I was leaving her to it with her friends and collecting her.
D: Mum, you don’t have to collect S now.
LS: Oh, why?
D: Her mum says she’s not allowed to go in the car with you
because you’re a stripper and you were in the newspaper in
your underwear.
LS: Holy Moses are you kidding me?
D: No that’s what S said. her mum’s paying for a taxi instead.
LS: Ok, well what can we do eh?
D: I wouldn’t worry mum, i think her mum’s just jealous..and
stupid.
LS: Just forgt about it and remember it’s not S’s fault so don’t
make her feel bad about it.
D: (shocked) I would never do that!
LS: Good
For the record…there was a great article about how much we raised for charity along with that photo AND i was fully clothed…the only bare skin was shoulders! 7 months ago
