Missy I think those are both awesome things, and I agree with you on people no longer judging others by where they work or what they do. Sure, some people still do it but they aren't the majority any longer. And, they'll get pushback when they start in these days, too.
As to "exotic dancer," my husband likes to joke with others that he "found me on the pole" (untrue). It started when I got a local fishing themed shirt that has a picture of an exotic dancer on a fish hook, the brand is called "Dirty Hooker." I thought it was cute. I never imagined it would launch for me, a new "career." Who knows, maybe I will have new opportunities.
