Moving, Money, and Making it Happen

It's been so busy over here in Bella land. The boys and I have since moved in with my boyfriend in a beautiful home in the Treme. We are all so very happy and are operating so well as a unit. The home life is pretty much perfection.

On a business level, it's been challenging. I haven't stripped in a while. Months probably. The stripping is so hard physically and emotionally. Not knowing how much money you are going to make on any given night while you work your ass of to look good, be flirty, give a shit about what someone is saying, pretending to like them, and dry hump them for sometimes hours on end....it makes me tired just to type it. The best thing about the dancing at this point for me was the pole dancing (which I LOVE. If you don't have a pole, I seriously recommend getting one and taking some classes. Best workout ever.). The stripping was making me bitter and angry and quite frankly just tired all the time.

I have started looking into other ways to make extra money and something that I came across was webcam modeling. There are 2 girls that I know here that are doing it and have been making so much money. One of them made $20k last month...insane. I'm sure that's a rarity. But, even if I just made a quarter of that, I'd be well on my way to saving up for a building. The School of Burlesque wants to grow and I need my own space so very badly. It's almost like a plant that keeps growing but it's in a pot that's too small. I have sent out some emails and am making some contacts about putting a business plan together as well which is another step in the right direction. I just feel so limited on what I can do without having my own space and because of that, I am at a standstill at the moment.

So, my next venture begins in my quest to make the money I need to get this business going. 10 years ago if you had asked me if I'd be working actively in the sex industry, I certainly would have laughed in your face. And now, I am more confident than ever to do that things that I need to do to make my dreams come true, support my family, and make my contribution to the city that I love so very much.

So...here we go...let the modeling begin....
