Stripping is a problematic area for me as a woman, so hearing the POVs of Idol's various former-strippers has been really enlightening over these last couple of years.
What I didn't say was that part of what I was doing on stage was reclaiming my sexuality. I never would have thought about that, but I can understand it completely. Just to get comfortable with feeling sexy and not anticipating being a target of aggression would be a huge accomplishment, and it sounds as if this really helped you.
I never had the perm in the 90s-- I had the actual hair. And still do. :( At least it was in fashion for awhile... Not that it necessarily looked good, but I had company!
