Q: the Deal On Me
asked by: anorexicbeauty on January 18th, 2004

Hi, I am danielle or ‘alexis’ if you know me from the joint. I am 22-year-old and an exotic dancer. I am dating a great guy now who understands my career and accepts me for who I am. I began dancing at the age of 16, illegal…yes, did the club owner care…no. I started dancing because I had a son at home that needed things and me working at a job that didn’t bring in any money wasn’t helping. So that’s when I became a dancer. I gave birth to my son, camden trenton, on january 29, 1997, just 4 days after I turned 16. Camden is the first of 3 children I have. My 2nd eldest is dayton william born august 4, 2000 and my youngest baby, yvonna ahlea born march 1, 2003.

Hi there danielle, im kari~ i'm 18, pregnant with my 1st, (just over 3 months) im due july 22, 2004. Welcome to the forum its great here, im new and I love it. I take it you have an eating disorder from the name. . . Im trying to recover right now for my unborn baby but just be careful because u have 3 kids who need you to be healthy! Im sure uve heard that before though. Do you find it hard to be a dancer when u have kids?
And do you plan on changing careers when they are older, or just not telling them? Dont think im telling you its not a good career, I was just interested* well talk to u soon~

I don’t plan on changing careers, I make so much money doing what I do, so my kids are well off, they have what they need and want and that’s all that matters to me. My son already knows that I am a dancer, I didn’t get into detail, but you know when they have take your child to work day, camden doesn’t go! Lol congratulations on your pregnancy as well. You should get well too, its better for the baby. I was lucky that yvonna wasn’t messed up from it! Actually dancing is a much easier career with kids then say a 9-5 job. I work in the evenings from 7pm-2am. Both camden and dayton are in bed at 8 and yvonna is in bed at 7. So I am only away from my kids for 1 hour, while they are awake. I get 4 hours of sleep, I wake up get camden to school, dayton to pre-k and yvonna occupies the rest of my morning until dayton and camden get home at noon. So its one big circle, but its worth it.
