I was lving in Independence, Missouri and working three jobs trying to make ends meet for my kids and myself when I saw an ad in the Kansas City Star - bartender needed, no experience necessary, $100.00 a week. This was a lot of money to me. Up until now, I was only used to doing restaurant and factory work.
I went to see about the job. It was at the Pink Pussy Cat in Kansas City, Missouri. Doris and Joe were the owners. Doris hired me. She said she would teach me how to be a bartender. Later on in years, she confessed that she only hired me because she was so desperate for help.
The Pink Pussy Cat was a strip club. I had no intention of ever being a stripper; but in the back of my mind, when I walked in that place, I knew I would become one. The first time I danced on stage as a stripper happened quite accidently. One of the dancers called in saying she could not come to work. I do not remember all the particulars; but someway or the other I ended upon the satge dancing in her outfit and stripping off my clothes. One of the regular customers wanted to buy me a drink before I got on stage to settle my nerves; so I would not be so scared. I said, "I don't need one. I'm not scared."
When I hit the stage, I felt like I had been doing it all my life. That one night was the first night of the next, approximately, twenty years of being a stripper; and I am glad of it.
Becoming a stripper was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. It opened doors for my children and myself that would neve have been available any other way.
