Good question. My body confidence definitely shot through the roof after I first started doing burlesque, and I think my confidence has remained high because the audience is very much encouraged to let the performers know they look good at these kinds of shows. At the same time, a huge part of my job is putting together outfits that accentuate my body and make me look good. So the excitement of that that a lot of people get to have in their personal life is something I just don’t even bother with because it feels like work too often.
It’s definitely made it easier to get a date, as there are no shortage of guys who find what I do to be attractive. It’s made it at times difficult to maintain a relationship because a lot of guys grow to be uncomfortable with it as time goes on. So there’s definitely a balancing act that has to be found.
