I’ll Take it as a Compliment

Posted on | January 29, 2004 | 7 Comments

One of the mid-point goals on the way to the bikini goal is wearing a sexy outfit (picked out by my fashion forward friend) to go out dancing. I was OK with most of the look, but decided the shoes would not be conducive to actually walking – let alone dancing. No problem, I certainly don’t mind a trip to the store.
I was in a grungy mood – probably because I hadn’t showered yet (ewww) – so I threw on an old, but tight, sweater and ratty old jeans. Put the hair in a ponytail and I’m off.
So there I am, walking through the store, browsing in the accessories department, minding my business, when a girl comes up and starts a conversation – – “aren’t those so cute?” “I just love this color” “Where do you dance?”


“uh, what?”
“Which club do you work at?”
“I don’t work at a club”
“Suuuure, you’re not a stripper. Right…whatever” This last line delivered with an unbelievable amount of sarcasm.
“No, really, I’m not – if I was, I would admit it.” Completely true, I don’t believe in doing things I would be embarrassed to admit to a stranger.
Anyway, at that point she just tossed her hair and strutted away.
So, is it good or bad that this girl (who I am going to assume (?) was a stripper) thought I was one, too?

    That’s a good question. I’ve heard that Bourbon Street isn’t tooo trashy.
    Where do you see me if you picked the club?

    Don’t let it go to your head. Women think that I’m a male stripper all of the time.
    Of course, the fact that I walk around dressed in nothing but a banana hammock with my chest oiled down might have something to do with it.

    Now I’ll be able to recognize you on the street 😉
    I don’t think the illusion she was under would have held up if I had actually started taking off my clothes….

    But you would have probably drawn quite a crowd.

    Yeah, I imagine they don’t get that happening in Target very often

    it’s tough to say which club you would work at. bourbon st is sort of middle of the road. band-aids is total skank. le girls and christies are pretty high class. or as high class as strip clubs could get. i’d prefer to see you working at a topless club because there’s something “unclean” about all nude clubs. (i don’t think they wash.)
