When he told me what I'd be making a week, I couldn't believe it.When he told me what I'd be making a week, I couldn't believe it. It sounded like so much money to me. Enough money to make me think I could do exactly what Mr. Harper said I could do -- work there a short time and quit into the real world. The next day, Mr. Harper helped me move into a decent studio- apartment-type room in a motel about a hundred feet up the road from the club. He also took my picture and made me a driver's license, social security card, and new birth certificate that said I was `Sandra Beech' (sandy beach -- get it?) and that I was just under 20 years old. I started dancing topless that night. YOU STARTED A CAREER. Very funny. BECOMING A NUDE DANCER WAS THAT EASY FOR YOU, SANDY? Well, it may seem that easy to you, but you weren't living the life I was, then. I was alone and poor and scared and nervous and embarrassed, but I was also young and had been convinced by a master salesman. I was so excited about making money, how I made it was secondary in my mind. Besides, I knew what I looked like and thought I might as well make some money out of showing them what they all wanted to see. But, it didn't take me long to realize that it wasn't all hearts and flowers the way it had been describe to me. AND YOU WERE SURPRISED? Yes, I guess I was. |
