THE OLD STRIPPER: I Look Completely Different on the Stage

On the stage, I always looked differently than off the stage. As a matter-of-fact, unlike most people, I looked and still do look better without my clothes on. Still, at the age of fifty-four, I look like eighteen from the neck down. But from the neck up - my face looks like a road-map.

When I was on the stage, I was beautiful. This was my area of feeling on top of the world. I knew at certain moments on the stage that nobody could look as good as me. I was at my best as far as beauty was concerned.

The beauty which I possessed on the stage was more than skin-deep. By becoming a stripper and baring it all, I was able to mentally bare my sould and transform my consciousness on a higher realm of thought. My thoughts were beautiful, too, even though I was performing to what most people consider the "next thing to prostitution".

My older sister, Darla, was always the prettiest and still is. She has a natural beauty that needs no make-up. My physical appearance - my face - needs make-up to even become attractive. The only time I have ever been pretty is on the stage. At these time, my beauty soared and surpassed even Darla's natural beauty.

One time when I was dancing on the stage - stripping - there was a man and a woman sitting on the front row of the burlesk theater. They were gazing at me. The man said something to the woman. She said, "Be quiet, I want to see this". The man looked at me and said, "You've got a body even Jesus could fall in love with".

Sometimes when I would be dancing a a stripper in the strip clubs - after I finished my show, I would come out with something skimpy on to hustle drinks from the men. Sometimes a guy would say to me, "I want to talk to that girl who was just on the stage". Needless to say, it was me. That is how much different I looked on the stage - naked - compared to having on clothes - even skimpy clothes.
