SACRED SISTER: INTERVIEW SIMONA ROLLER.
.
Q. I have been following your instagram page for about a year and what I see is a powerful GORGEOUS woman embodying her sensuality full force! I am curious about the stigma of working as an exotic dancer…Many would assume that it can be an unempowering profession and I am sure this thought is conditional upon clubs and circumstance…But you seem to be a healthy, outspoken and passionate dancer. Can you elaborate on how this work is for you and how you maintain your sense of empowerment?.
.
A. There is definitely still stigma and misunderstanding around the profession; I have witnessed and experienced it. Sometimes I feel like people have a sort of mystical, imagined pre-conceived idea of what characterises a stripper. It’s a construction based on fictional media, cultural norms and deeply ingrained social conditioning. I have, at times, been pushed away, judged, questioned or not taken seriously because of my job. I’ve heard so many people say things like “You’re not what I expected a stripper to be like”, “You changed the way I used to think about strippers” or even “It’s interesting that you’re so proud of it”… Not every profession receives these types of reactions.  I would say that people should drop the assumptions and judgments at the door for one day, and try a perspective of curiosity and openness towards the complexities of human beings. There are all kinds of different, colorful characters in the industry, just like any other (nightlife in general brings some interestig scenarios)… Some of the most inspiring, beautiful, fun, driven and capable women I know, I’ve met in this industry. The substance, honesty and laughter in our conversations are so good. A woman can absolutely be a dancer AND simultaneously be of substance, be intelligent, healthy, ambitious and sincere. If it’s safety people are concerned about, that’s different altogether. But usually, it seems like it’s social perception that people are influenced and weakened by....

This image is a quintessential example of almost everything not going as planned. Weather was totally opposite of what we wanted. Instead of warm direct setting sunlight, it was overcast, cold and raining the whole day. Timing wasn't ideal and we completly lost the light. Outdoor location wasn't decided until last minute. But worst of all...
.
After positioning the car (to use the headlights to backlight the scene), I asked Simona and Courtney to stay inside to remain dry and warm. Went out to set everything up to ensure the team would minimize their exposure to the elements. Walked to the back, opened the trunk and looked in. I saw a lightstand where my tripod was supposed to be. More importantly, there was no tripod in sight. I understood what my eyes saw but my mind was stalled in a state of confusion. The next few seconds that transpired ticked by at a snail's pace, as I felt the cold and unforgiving raindrops dripping across my face. π#@%!!?!!
.
I make mistakes all the time and that's fine as I learn from them on my own time. But I loathe the notion of letting people down. Going back to get a tripod wasn't an option so the lightstand would have to be rigged and work as a makeshift tripod. No umbrella and no way to prevent the raindrops from wetting the front element of the lens? Screw it, find a way to make the most of the conditions and use it towards creating the image. All throughtout this location shoot, the team had no idea about any of the challenges faced 😜
.
The moral of the story is that no matter what happens, never give up and find a way to turn the negatives into positives! 😊
