I am Kara. I have danced in the Portland area for about 4 years now at various clubs.

You may have seen me mostly @ 505, Jody's bar & Grill, Dancin Bare, 205, The Riverside Corral & The Acropolis.

I like meeting, making friends with & entertaining different people & other dancers. :)

I think its fun to experience a new environment from time to time & see what other clubs are out there. But I do tend to stay at certain clubs for a while (sometimes a long while) once I am comfortable & make friends there.. Especially if the $ is decent. =]

I think that I would describe myself as the type of person that gets bored easily with certain things and likes to change my interests & looks often.

I get bored with my hair (although I always try to keep my main color blonde), I like to add different colors &/or extensions to it. Also style it different ways as well.

Same with my nails & toes.. I love to change my nail colors. Same with my clothes & dancer outfits! I love colors, especially like pinks, purples, teal, greens, blues, red, etc. I just love mostly all of the colors! & sometimes its hard for me to decide on what colors I want for certain things.. Lol.

I feel like I can relate to anyone in some way or the other. I have been through a lot in my life (most of us have)..

I wouldn't consider myself stuck up. I don't think that I am better then anyone! I think everyone has their own best features/assets. And that everyone has their own lessons to learn & are in a different place in their lives.

I am not big on drinking but when I do decide to drink a lot of people say that I am a lot of fun! ;D

I would say that I am a pretty nice & talkative person on the most part but I can have my moods at times.. (Can't we all?)

I care to much about people sometimes. But I am learning to put myself first..

I am usually a pretty honest person, not to mention reliable..

I have been known to give a customer back $ if they accidently over pay me in the private dance area. Let somebody who is drunk & accidently tips me a $20.00 bill unknowingly (thinking its a $1 or something), know their mistake. (Unless they were a rude disrespectful person, then I probably just wouldn't say anything) lol. Given a dancer back her $ if she left it on the stage previously before I followed her, or in the dressing room, etc. Even when I was hurting for $.. I believe that good comes back & would want someone to do the same for me! :)

I like to be generous to people, especially when they treat me right. It just makes me feel so good when I can put a smile on someone's face if they are having a bad day.. Or make someone happy even with the simpliest of things. =)

I would say that I have a lot of friends. I wish that I had time for them all.. I try to make as much time as I can but I barely have time for myself sometimes! :/

I am usually a very busy person. I love to work. (Well make $, plus entertain). I work as much as possible sometimes. I have a lot of goals to accomplish in my life & your only young once right?

My friends, & the girls that I have worked with that have come to know me & become some of my best friends have nicknamed me a few things, I think for a few reasons..

Some call me Care bear. Probably because I care & worry about things & ppl & what they think, how they are feeling, etc. And probably cuz Kara & Care (Care Bear) kinda sound similar or whatever..

Some call me Barbie. Cuz I am blonde w/ a tan, bigger boobs, colorful outfits, talkative, can be kind of an air head at times, LOL, etc. I guess?

Some call me Carry on.. Probably cuz I carry on & on in a conversation sometimes.. (Kinda like i'm doing now).. Haha! & again cuz Carry kinda sounds like Kara? Plus my middle name is Ann.. So its kind of like "Carry on" just makes sense, since I'm "Kara Ann" or something, right? :}

I have a lot to say sometimes.. But I also like to listen & get to know other ppl as well of course! I know its not all about me! (But this site is supposed to be so thats why I keep talking about myself right now). Lol!

Also I do have a crazy kind of wild side at times.

Hmm.. What else?

Oh I love doing pole tricks! And am always up for learning more of them.. I believe that there is always more to learn (about everything basically).

I think that there are some pretty amazing, unbelievable entertainers out there. (Some extremely flexible, some that have amazing upper body strength, some that are risk takers & that try crazy, challenging, dangerous things (or all of the above) etc.) I have witnessed certain girl's performing on stage, doing tricks & things that I could never do.. & I appreciate & absolutely admire the talent that some of these girls have! :]

Although it's not the most important thing for a dancer to know/do.. I think that pole dancing is really fun, good exercise & great entertainment for people to watch! Its definitely one of my favorite thing's to watch a dancer do so I would love to keep getting better & better at it myself.

I like & am better on certain types of poles then others. I don't really like the ones that spin or that are shorter or fatter.. I like the long skinnier ones. Especially if you can jump off of the rack onto the pole.. But maybe thats only cuz I am used to a certain thing (type of pole). ;)

But I must be careful. Pole dancing can seriously be dangerous at times & unfortunately this job doesn't come with insurance! :/

I used to not be so cautious about pole work, until I got hurt doing it.. :[

During the middle of November, 2011.. I hurt myself when I fell from about 3 ft up (upside down on the pole, holding on with my lower legs, wearing slippery leg warmers) & landing flat on my back, bruising my sciatic nerve. =(

I am still not fully recovered. After my fall I have been a lot more careful doing anything! Especially pole dancing. The pain & discomfort that I experienced after my fall was almost unbearable for me! I am thankful that I didn't injure myself any worse then I did.. Back injuries are not something to mess around with & you never know how truly serious they are until you actually experience one for yourself. :/

But I am getting better.. Which is the good news. =)

But yeah.. That kinda explains some stuff..

If you have any questions just ask.
I try to answer everyone back as much as possible & give everyone a chance. =)

**My interests change frequently. I want to do & learn so many things that I just don't have time to possibly do/learn everything that I am interested in!**

Some of my current interests include:

8====D & (.)(.) LOL. But among other things:

Who are ambitious & want the best for me (& themselves for that matter). Who compliment me & mean it. Men who are honest, dependable, funny, generous & caring. & that have a good heart. <3 (Like me). =]
