Christine.

I closed the door on Christine's dressing room. She needed ten minutes of privacy to warm herself up for her performance. I went to the wings of the stage and looked at the audience. Fully booked, as usual, 50 guests. A couple of women all the rest men. It was interesting to see the demographics of her audience. Christine had performed here for 22 years now. When she had started her audience were mainly older men. As she had matured the audience had grown younger, they were mostly in their 20's and 30's now. Paula was doing the warm up this evening. She had a leopard skin cat suit on and moved sensually to rhythmic music. She reached the climax of her act and received some rousing applause. The stage fell silent and dark. A single dim spotlight came on and Christine walked on stage.
