Sebrena Verlice of Tampa, Florida had a dream. When she was just 14, her mom, a former exotic dancer, gave her some of her old costumes to try on. That's when the Tampa woman knew she wanted to follow in her Mom's footsteps and enter into the family business.
6 years later at the age of 20, as told to msn, "She bought a pole, a pair of pleaser heels and two dancer outfits. " After practicing for two days straight she auditioned at a club in Clearwater, Florida. Her audition became her first night's work and she took home $300. Now 23, Sabrena works 10-25 hours a week on the pole, on the stage, and in the private rooms making up to $10,000 a night. Here's one of her videos showing off a week's work.
Her mom, Sherry, danced in clubs in Pennsylvania in the 90's, but had to give up her profession 2 years before Sebrena was born due to a car accident. Mom told Sebrena about all her cool adventures as an exotic dancer and when Sebrena got to try on those outfits when she was 14 she knew she was hooked.
So how did she learn how to work the men and get the big tips? Youtube. Isn't Youtube how we all learn things now? That's how I learned how to fix my dryer. Anyway, here she is on a Friday night last month.
Sebrena's salary pays the bills, allowing her to afford a 2 bedroom apartment (!!) and "a fully paid-off Volkswagen Passat." It's expensive in Tampa, you need a box full of cash if you're going to make rent.
Although making this kind of money seems like a great idea, the Tampa woman does caution that this lifestyle is not for everyone.
She gets some strange requests and people will at times overstep boundaries. But the money. Here's a video she posted last weekend.
I've never seen that much cash on the floor (with the lights on). That's just insane. Kudos to Sebrena for living the dream, keeping up with the family business, and making Momma proud. As far as where she works? She doesn't say. But flash that cash and jump in her dm's and maybe she'll tell you where she'll be working next.
Miami Florida Woman Has Her Graduation Pictures Sold To A Stock Photo Site And Now She’s On The Cover of an Erotic Novel Titled ‘His Big Childhood Sweetheart’
This Miami Florida woman learned why you should always read the fine print. And now she'll always be connected to an Erotic Novel Titled 'His Big Childhood Sweetheart'. Christian Demeritt of Miami shared her story on Tik Tok which all started when she graduated college back in 2010.
Fresh off her theater degree, she needed some new headshots. So she met up with a recommended photographer at the park at Bayside. They took pictures in some different tops, she paid him $100 and everything seemed good. She was hoping to use the new pics to find work as an actress. What she didn't do, was read the contract all the way through. And there's always some fine print that'll get ya.
Maybe the fact that he only charged her $100 should have been a red flag. The photographer sold her pictures to a 'stock images site'. If you're not familiar, these sites house millions of pictures of different people in different situations. And then websites (just like this one), can buy the pictures and do absolutely anything they want to do with them. The picture above? Yeah, that's on Getty Images creative site. I can download that picture, drop it in Photoshop and do anything I want. And that's how Christian ended up on the cover of 'His Big Childhood Sweetheart'.
'His Big Childhood Sweetheart' From Amazon:
"After spending a few years abroad, Damien Carter is ready to get serious about his family’s business.
But when he reunites with his childhood friend, and that friendship turns into something more, things are bound to get complicated!
Especially since his friend is the daughter of his family’s maid!
Evelyn longs to be with Damien, but the differences in their social status has always held her back…
Yet now that Damien has returned no longer a boy but a man, she can no longer deny what’s in her heart!
But what will happen when Damien’s family catches wind of their relationship?
Will Damien and Evelyn be forced to break it off?
Or will love find a way?"
His Big, Childhood Sweetheart
It's part of a series! Who reads these? It's 'Plus Size Loving Billionaires Book 10'.
Here's her video from when she found out
I mean, update that resume. Take the win.
Story time
Having the theme from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in the background does it for me.
Part 2
How have you NOT read the book?
Part 3
Yeah, like I said earlier - anyone can use your pictures for anything.
The Today Show
Her big break.
On tv!
That's really rough, tho. Not only is she not making money - she paid the photographer.
In case you were wondering
The book is part of a series and there's a different woman on the cover of each. I did the search so you don't have to. Now my browsing history is a mess and I keep seeing ads for adult toys and sex books on every site I go to. USA Today states "A representative for Afro Romance Books, the book's publisher, said the author doesn't create the covers herself."
