Respect

It's so important to give respect to everyone you meet in life. Every single person has a purpose, and I do believe things happen for a reason.

I think a lot of performers think it's below them to go go dance at all, or in certain places. Only shows are prestigious and worth recognition. I wish this wasn't the way things were looked at. I know not everyone is like that, but many performers are.

Some ask me things like "well if you're a singer, why are you singing?" Maybe because I haven't found where I want to be with it yet. Maybe I'm more picky than most. I want to sing something I love and not because I'm getting paid nickels for it. "why aren't you in a show?" Well there are many reasons. I don't like a lot of the shows in town, and I can't get into most of them any way for many different reasons that I've said before: height, tattoos, appendix scar, not flexible enough (I'm still flexible, just can't kick behind my head), & perhaps not a good enough dancer.

I've found my niche and it's go go. That doesn't deserve a fellow entertainer looking down on me and saying things like "oh she couldn't get a show so she ended up here". I WANTED to end up here. I love what I do! I don't understand why I get all the shit I do get! I know I'm a good dancer, and I know I do a good job on stage. Why do people pick apart go go dancers? Is it the whole pedestal thing? That once you put yourself on those boxes you're putting yourself up there so people can say "eh, she's ok"? What's up with that! lol

I'm beautiful, I'm talented, and I deserve respect like any other entertainer...even if I'm doing a job that makes me a sexual object. I'm still a person. We're all still people, and we work hard.

Back to what I was originally saying as well, everyone deserves respect in life. Who knows why each person does what they do, works the job they do, marries the people they do...and it's not for us to judge & ask why. And who cares what other people like? who are we to judge the music/movies someone else likes. They like it, and that's fine. We need to all come together and just realize we're all different and that's good. Do I sound like a hippie? hehe ;)

I also believe that we meet certain people for a reason. Each person we see in a day is part of our lives, part of our beings, and they deserve love and respect. Say hello to people you don't know every once in a while. Be friendly. Give a smile. All of us are special.
