These are the true, private thoughts of an exotic dancer named Mary Jane. I have changed/ altered names to protect myself from possible embarrassment or other harm, though, the purpose is for the individuals mentioned not to know of these thoughts and events.
This is a sacred space to say what I’m actually thinking while I’m smiling and nodding along with conversation. These are the judgmental thoughts running through my crowded head when I am trying to appear P.C. and make money.
Background: I was raised in South Jersey by rampantly reproducing Irish Catholic parents. However, I’ve only ever worn a pleated, plaid shirt for fun.
I am different from but still very much like the self-centered, know-it-alls of my age. This is my truth, if only for today.
