The Pole Position

The Pole Position: Is stripping for you? (And how to stay healthy doing it) by Sheila Hageman

I recently bought this book off Amazon and have just been sifting through it so far but I can already say I’d highly recommend it.  It’s brought up many more questions I really need to ask myself to be mentally prepared for this job:

What would I do if someone told me my dancing was shit?

What would I do if someone told me I was ugly?

What would I do with any other kind of verbal abuse or criticism? From customers and from other strippers?

And many more…

As I know now, especially after my first night, I NEED to have fully prepared responses to these or I could be caught off guard and potentially get hurt emotionally or even mentally.  I realise now that you can’t be prepared enough for something like stripping.
