Ever wonder what your favorite Exotic Dancer does when he or she is not giving you a lap dance? I talked to a couple Mary and Jake who both work as Exotic Dancers, but what they do in their off time will surprise you.
VL: So where did you guys meet?
J: As cliché as it sounds, we met at a bar.
M: Yeah we kind of met eyes from across the room and that was it.
VL: How long did it take you guys to tell each other that you were in the same industry?
M: That is always a tough one. When I really like someone, I sometimes try to wait a little while before telling them what I do for a living.
J: Luckily for us, I just kind of blurted it out. I knew that there was something special about her, so I didn’t want there to be any secrets.
M: I really appreciated his honesty, and made me change my whole outlook on the profession. I felt so comfortable with Jake. His honesty made it a lot easier to say, “Yeah I do the same thing!”
VL: Do you guys ever get jealous?
M: It is hard to not get jealous sometimes, but I know he is coming home to me every night, so that makes it easier.
J: And are you kidding, look at her! Who could ever cheat on that face?
VL: So let’s get into this new business venture.
M: We are so excited! We have done pretty well as Exotic Dancers, and living in South Beach, we notice that there are a lot of homeless people that can use some help.
J: So we decided that we should start doing something about the problem. We are not rich or anything like that, but we definitely have enough money where we can make a difference.
M: We started off a bit modest by feeding ten people. We started working with a homeless shelter and made baskets.
J: We had no idea what we were doing, so we made a lot of mistakes in the beginning.
VL: So how did you go from feeding 10 people to feeding three thousand?
J: Well we did it with a lot of hard work, and keeping our expenses low.
M: Things just started to snow ball. People are willing to help if you get something going.
