Deanna Baldwin is Feeling Herself
“I used to work at Hooters,” Deanna Baldwin said. “All the customers would hit on me, each in his own way. Some were coy, others were direct. I enjoyed the attention and I did well. All Hooters Girls do well.
Then I got first place in an Amateur Night contest at Deja Vu after I entered on a whim. I don’t know…I figured I might as well share the wealth. I just kept going and started to travel to clubs in different cities. It’s not well known but there’s an unorganized migration of exotic dancers around America, like Gypsies. We work at a club for a few months and then move on to the next city. Some girls do this alone, others travel in twos or threes. We live in monthlies and other short-term lease apartments.
“Other dancers are not jealous of me, I think, because I’m not really famous. I never became well-known like other girls in SCORE.”
