I was quite happy to see that I had my first friend request on facebook! Yay! A somewhat random polish sounding guy wanted to be my friend. Yippee! Right? Well..! I figured this guy must be a burlesque fan, since he was a mutual friend of another performer I was friends with on there (probably my only friend at this point I must add). I had a bit of a snoop around his FB page, just to try to understand why he might want to be my friend, I mean, I'm sure there's nothing untoward going on here, but I have only existed in cyberspace for one day! Ah, he has a wife, he can't be weird! Ah, a picture with a kid, how sweet! Oh, he's a film maker? He's arty! Well that explains it! He appreciates the arts, that's all. Oh.. Hang on a minute, his friends all seem to be girls, with little clothing... What's that girl doing!? Ugh!!! Who does that on their profile picture?!?! Oh. Oh I see. THAT kinda film maker are you!? Well. B-Bye now!
The next guy I haven't snooped. I daren't. Is this what I have to expect now? Odds?weirdos and perves?! I mean, I like burlesque and I'm not a perve! Plenty people do! Is this the image that burlesque has to some people? We're the same as porn stars?!? I mean, I have no problem with porn stars, hell I even admire some of them! But I don't wanna be one! I don't want to be considered a 'sex worker'! IT'S REALLY NOT THE SAME!!! Is that what people think?
