Also I hate keeping an open mind. Whenever somebody encourages me to keep an open mind, I'm like, "I can tell you right now I'm gonna hate this. You can drop the issue, or you can insist that I play along and 'keep an open mind,' and then I'm gonna hate you as well. It's your choice."
I'm well aware that the window of opportunity of what I like is open but a crack; I'm a picky old bat. And the beautiful thing is, I'm good with it!
Anyway, several months ago, the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club started doing regular comedy shows. Every once in a while, one of the show's producers would call me to do a set there and I was like... no. Strip clubs are not my scene, which is ironic because I swear to God I think I'd make an incredible stripper if only I could lose about 20 pounds. Yes, I am totally in touch with my inner stripper.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I got another call and the producer assured me the showroom is beautiful with state-of-the-art blah-blah and it's really a classy place... and I'd be able to do my dirty material, which I kind of enjoy doing more than my clean stuff. Plus I really like the guy, so I said yes to a Friday and Saturday night gig.
OMG, I had so much fun! The showroom really is beautiful, and it's right near the front entrance, so I didn't have to walk through the club to get to it. The first thing I had to do Friday night was fill out a W-9 tax form, which cracked me up. It took me 56 years, and finally I'm filling out tax forms at a strip club!
The show was a mixture of comedy, magic, and burlesque. I can only imagine how psyched the audience was to see me come out after this hottie.
Wah-wah... :(
This is funny. After my set, I'm sitting in the audience watching the magician I'd been talking to in the green room, and then... look what he pulls out in the middle of his act:
I nearly shit. First I was going bonkers because birds indoors freak me out, and then I was like, WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT GODDAMN THING WHEN I WAS BACKSTAGE WITH YOU??? And then the guy pulled out a couple more birds and a cat and I just about needed smelling salts.
Needless to say, my mission Saturday night was to find out exactly where the birds were and the only time I spent backstage was right before my set, when I was talking to a really nice stripper who had started to read my book and she really liked it so I had to give her a hug.
Here's a group shot of me and my new friends:
So as you can see, this is the one time where keeping an open mind actually paid off. But don't think I'm going to make a habit of it; I'm not about to start eating celery or tofu, and you won't see me at that Gravity movie everyone's raving about.
But you might see me perform at a strip club again. Fingers crossed!

I'm hoping that I'll be able to see you perform at a strip club eventually.
:)
Glad you kept your mind open just this once lady
You were rocking those fishnets, that's for sure.
Hey. That Gravity movie is killa. You are just being contrary, aren't you?
Ever heard the song, "If I told you you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?" Well, your blondie is a wee too skinny for my taste (not that she or you give a shit), but you look HOT in those stockings!!! You should do an Olivia cruise and experience thousands of lesbians lusting over you. Okay, now that I've made you nervous, let me just say "congratulations" for going beyond your comfort zone - that is what life is all about!
I just HAD to click on this one. ;) Fun! But, girlfriend, get your terms correct - she's not a stripper, she's a DANCER. Hehe. BTW, I'm jealous. I wrote about the burlesque dancers at the Flamingo once, and all I could think was "my tits are better than hers, and my tits are better than hers, too..." I'm such a bitch.
1. You would absolutely make a great stripper;
2. Your legs look SOOOO SEXY in those fishnets;
3. DAYUM that stripper girl is TALL!
4. I HAVE TO SEE YOU DO YOUR STAND UP!
XOXOXO

Now, see, I've been away from the bloggosphere for MONTHS. And here is where I chose to land first.
Life is GOOD. I'm gonna stop now and read others later. I just want to kick back with a beer and keep laughing.
20 schmenty... you look great just where you are, woman. GREAT entry.
Having an open mind is risky: your brains could fall out! Glad you had fun!
Blessings and Bear (not bare) hugs!
I definitely love that feathery dress!!!!! So sexy and unique!
