The life on the road...of a chorus girl..Part one

Well when I first started touring in the mid to late 1990's. There was no book,,I figured if other entertainers could do this why not me?. Touring takes much planning not to mention much thoughtful insight to what city,venue,travel,lodging and yes your Fees. I suggest that you have a good support team,,if not you will crack under the pressure. I learned the hard way and I Never back down from a challange. For performing isn't easy .. This business isn't for the faint of heart either..Many people are jealous,backstabbing,greedy two-faced. Many vendors(Promoter's/Night club owners will attempt to cheat,verbally insult you and sexually attack you) if you don't have a thick skin.{This doesnt happen too often just be savvy and not  paint yourself in a corner!}. I've seen some of the strongest ladies cripple under the grip. I have had my highs,laughs and mellow times,, Im proud to say that I Have NEVER used "Dope". I understand why some of the greatest have surrendered to Drug,Alcohol,Gambling,Sex,Debt addiction. There is also much discrimination,gender bias and lies/liars! Keep your dignity intact and you shall be fine.After all the cut throats I'm still in this business called..SHOW BUSINESS...more advice later on..Gigi
