Ack, I'm bored.
Just sitting here waiting for my hair dye to seep into my brain, er, roots. I was excited that Revlon just came out with a blue-black shade. They don't do animal testing...so I can have Wonder Woman hair instead of plain black without the unnecessary suffering of awesome animals! Yay!
Tomorrow, the boy and I are going job hunting- I got a few good leads today. Wish me luck!!!
And, the real news-
So, I got a phone call from Tory today. I didn't pick it up cause I was sleeping, so she just left a message. And then I hear the "great" news that she is now a stripper at a club near her house. And she does floor shows, lap dances and it's full nude.
Fuck.
God, I swear, this girl! I mean, I still have to talk to her...but Tory is not the kind of girl that should be doing this. I love her to death, but she IS only 18 and extremely naive. And also immature. I really don't think she has the capacity to deal with a profession like that.
I have no problem with strippers. But I guess it's different when it's your best friend. I feel Tory is smarter than that, that she is much more than tits and ass. I have been to this strip club where she now works, and although it's a big chain, it's pretty raunchy. I mean, fuck, she's still a kid. She just barely turned 18.
I don't want this to be the end-all for her. She has more to offer this world than a $25 lap dance.
I know, I'm being irrational, but I'm just very concerned and worried about her well-being. I guess I just have to talk to her tomorrow and see what the hell is up. I love her and will always accept her for who she is. Even if it's an exotic dancer. I just want my best friend to be happy. I have seen way too many friends for high school do that for easy money, and get caught up in the drugs, drinking, easy money and sex that the lifestyle offers them. If she understands what she's getting into and knows what to do to avoid bad situations, then great, she'll have my blessing.
It's one thing to be a SuicideGirl, it's quite another to be an uneducated, 18-yr. old stripper with a family that doesn't care about her and only one real friend who does. Guess who? Moi. I hope she isn't doing this for attention from men, which seems likely. She's hooked up and had one-night stands with way too many random guys in the past months. I've told her a million times, you don't need a guy to validate you, and she agress, and then does the same stuff over and over again.
I'm not trying to judge her, I just want to make sure she knows what she's doing. It would break my heart if anything ever happened to her.
Her and I have a lot of things to talk about, but I'm happy that she made the first move and called me instead of still hiding out. I'm confident we can get past our little weird thing (see yesterday's journal) and make everything a-ok.
I'm just worried about my lil' buddy.

I'm with what caddi said. I know some girls who have tried it before and realised it's not easy money at all.

No, you're being totally rational. Young strippers are vulnerable to so much scummy shit. Hopefully your friend will realize there's a better way...
