My Life as a Stripper

SAG: Hi Fawnia, how did you get started as a stripper?

Fawnia: There was a girl from high school that I took dancing lessons from and I heard she was a stripper. I checked it out and watched her sprawl into the splits across the dance floor. Little did I know that in a short time I'd be joining her.

SAG: Before you started stripping, did you have a negative attitude toward the profession?

Fawnia: I'd only been to the strip club 3 days before I started dancing, so I didn't have much of an opinion. No matter what you think about strippers, nobody can know what it's like until you've been out there on that floor.

SAG: Ok, what's it like? Did you ever feel degraded?

Fawnia: I was only an exotic dancer, never a prostitute like some of the girls are. For me it was business and I was there to earn as much money as I could make.

SAG: How old were you when you started stripping?

Fawnia: I started on my 19th birthday in Victoria, BC, Canada. I needed money badly and was told I had a great body and could make some easy money. The truth is, it's not easy money, you have to really work hard.

SAG: How did you get your first job?

Fawnia: I found an agent in Vancouver who thought I had a good chance at a starting position and within 3 days I was employed.
SAG: How did you learn how to do the stripping and dancing?

Fawnia: I'd taken dancing lessons all through high school, but to learn to strip I watched as many dancers as I could possibly find and took from them all I needed to be successful.

SAG: Were you successful?

Fawnia: Yes, I was a featured dancer and earned more money and had to work less hours than the other girls. I was named Western Canada's Top Exotic Dancer.

SAG: Did you ever feel you'd made a bad choice for yourself?

Fawnia: It was hard on my family at first, but I always knew it was right for me. I loved it. I could travel, earn lots of money, have a toned body, meet new people and have a great time. I felt free and I was in control. I did a bit of modeling in my off hours. Men were mine, yet I was NOT theirs. I could arouse them with my body but they couldn't touch me. It was power. It was my career and I took it very seriously.

SAG: How did the men treat you?

Fawnia: I was always treated with respect. I was an exotic dancer, so I never had to give lap dances. I think the girls that do those are made to feel really trashy.

SAG: Did men try to pick you up?

Fawnia: Oh yes, but I had a boyfriend from the time I began dancing, so I was never interested. I felt that my personal life was outside the club.

SAG: How long was your career as a dancer?

Fawnia: I lasted nearly two years. I know it's not a long time, but I met a man who wanted to "save me" from "all that" and I listened to him and not to my inner voice. I still regret quitting.

SAG: What did you miss most?

Fawnia: I loved being on stage, I loved being able to arouse men so they each thought I was coming on to them even though there were many in the audience. I missed the sexy costumes and the general sexy feeling that dancing allows you to have.

SAG: So how have you coped with these feelings?

Fawnia: I've made a video tape to teach women how to dance sexy for their men.

SAG: Is it hard?

Fawnia: LOL, it's not hard til she starts dancing! Seriously, any woman can dance sexy for her man. She needs to find something to wear that will feel good to her and arouse him and then follow the simple instructions. He'll love her for trying.

SAG: What response have you received from your video?

Fawnia: I've found that new dancers are buying it to help them get a leg up in the business. They can watch my tape at home and try some of the moves. It's much easier than I had it when I watched it in the club and then tried to remember all the moves later when I was at home.

SAG: If someone were interested in getting information on your video, where could they contact you?
