One week when I was dancing as a stripper in Detroit, Michigan. One of the girls that was on the show - Misty Knight - told me a very funny story. She said she was in the little cafe next to the burlesk theater when a short little fat guy cme up and propositioned her for $100.00.
She went to his motel room. She said she could hardly even see it let alone feel it. He was all red in the face and huffing and puffing when he said, "I wanna make you "cum'". He could just barely get the words out. She laughed and replied, "How in the Hell do you think you can make ME cum?"

Hard Times Raising My Kids - Sleeping in the Car
I had a lot of hard times while I was raising my kids; but it was all worth it. I also, had a lot of good times. The good times outweigh the bad times. As hard as it was back then, sometimes I feel a little sad as I think about those past days. I sometimes with it had never ended - that I was still a stripper and my kids were still little and needed me. My life was full back then.
It certainly was not easy to be the sole supporter of my two kids and myself with no one to rely on but me. I got no child support or any other outside financial support. I raised my kids from day to day. If I did not make $5.00, it just was not there.
The main thing that always kept me going was the fact that none of us were ever sick. I was always thankful for our health. Anytime I would get discouraged, I always thought about that. I knew that I had nothing to complain about as long as we had our health. I still feel that way.
I always kept my main objective clear in my mind - to raise my kids the best way I could and to always make sure they had the best of care and to try to provide all their wants, desires and needs.
Many times it took all my money to do this - even my motel money. Which resulted in my sleeping in the car even on cold, icy wintery nghts. But as long as I knew the kids were O.K., I would get by some way.
This sleeping in the car and doing without the necessities became a way of life for me and has stayed with me throughout my life. If I had to live out of my car today and just scrape by on nothing, at least, I would be used to it. That is more than most people can say. All these people can hope for is that they will never be faced with that fact because they know they would never be able to cope. But people like me can. When the chips are down, the strong survive.

Abe and My Birthday
Abe was a manager of a burlesk theater where I worked as a stripper in Buffalo, New York. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He would take the girls out to eat. Some borrowed money from him. I never heard him speak very harshly about anyone.
He had these little mathematical quiz questions he got out of a book. He would be in his office trying to work them. I would come in to see him; and he would ask me what I thought the right answer was. I would always tell him the right answer. At different times, he asked me if I wanted to bet my paycheck - double or nothing - on the next quiz question. I really did want to do this because I was sure I could answer the next question; but I was afraid I might possibly lose; and I could not afford to lose a week's pay. And if I won, who knows - he might have been really mad about having to pay me double.
One time I was working at his theater on my birthday. After my show, he had someone walk out on the stage and give ma a birthday present. It was a litle portable mirror which wa smagnified on one side and regular on the other. The projectionist announce to the audience that it was my birthday. I thought that was nice of him to do; and I still appreciate his kind gesture today.

Manager Thought I Was Too Ugly to Strip
Representing sex for pay on the stage by dancing as a stripper was more of a challenge for me than most girls. I am not a naturally pretty person in the face. I wear glasses, I am cross eyed, and I have small breasts. Just to look at me - you would never guess that I was even a stripper.
Back then was no different. Off the stage, I looked like the plainest "plain-Jane" that ever existed. But on the stage, I would shine. Actually, I looked better without my clothes on than with them on and still do.
The first time I ever worked at the Plaza Burlesk Theater in Washington, D.C., the manager was quizzing me. Of course, he had not seen me on the stage yet or without my clothes on.
Even though I was booked for one week, I could tell he was nervous about my being on his stage because he thought I was ugly. He asked me how long I had been dancing. He talked about such things as how the guys that come in to his theater like big tits. I laughed and just said, "O.K.!" I was so sure of myself back then. I knew no one looked as good as me or did as good a show. I knew he would like me after he saw my show.
After my show, he came back stage and apologized to me for his actions. He said, "I knew you were a "pro" when I saw you "hit the stage!"
