Too old, too hairy, too fat, too ugly or too disabled to be a competent DJ and provide a highly entertaining service to your clients. Can you adapt your setup and performance to compensate for any deficiencies you might have. I just wonder!!

Nothings impossible, if you work hard enough at it to get where you want to be, in this case a DJ then it will pay off.

If you ruled those out we'd lose 3/4 of the forum

You cheeky git! :p :p :p
Pictures posted on here suggest that the only category on here I escape is "too disabled". :D :D
As promised elsewhere, the serious answer.
Unfortunately, as in many areas, image can be important. I'm in my mid fifties, but I regularly play eighteenth parties. I regularly enjoy them, as well, but that's not the point. Yes, some punters are surprised when I have the "modern bangin' choons", but they shouldn't be. If I didn't have them, I shouldn't be doing the job. Simples.
Ugly? Well I don't get chatted up as often as I'd like, and a couple of folk on here will never win any beauty contests, but still get work and satisfied customers.
Hairy? Nowadays, mine's getting to be less consistent, and steadfastly refuses to grow where I'd like it. :( :( :( :( Never stopped me getting a gig, as far as I know.
Kernal, I hope I've caught the drift of what you're asking, and what I'd say is that as long as you provide what the customer wants, image problems should not be a serious barrier to success.

..... I find the constant female attention a bit of a pain at times and can sometimes affect my DJing performance, how I suffer for my art! :D

Too old? I'm 34 - make up your own minds.
Too fat? Just shy of 16 stone and only 5'10" so probably!
Too hairy? I'm hairier now than I've ever been. But I've fixed my hair clippers and will buy some new razors soon for the face so that will soon change and the strawberry blonde Santa-Claus-meets-Brian-Blessed look will be gone for ever!
Too ugly? The ex used to put a photo of me up on the mantelpiece to keep the kids away from the fire! When I was born, the midwife took one look at me and slapped my mam! I went shopping the other day and bought a pint of milk, a small loaf of bread, and a microwave meal for one. The checkout girl said "You're single, aren't you?". I said "Wow! You can tell that from the things I buy?". She said "No. It's 'cos you're so ugly!". 'Nuff said.
Too disabled? Disability shouldn't be a barrier to being a good DJ. Unless you've got no arms but then you could use your feet or even your nose or tongue to press play/stop. See? Anything's possible!

I'd rather have a fat, ugly, hairy disabled DJ who played with passion, commitment and flair and knew his music than a slimy, cheesy, boring, gobby dull DJ who played the same old tunes.

Kernal...
You don't have any deficiencies my son.The nature of your thread suggests you feel you do.
You are knocking 'em dead anyway....so it doesn't matter if you are any of the adjectives you describe.
Sure your Roadie left a few wires showing...i'll let you into a secret....no-one will see them in the dark anyway.
If you are disabled it doesn't show.
Your heart is not disabled... you have the desire to and are acheiving the aim of entertaining people and we are all impressed.
Not because you may be disabled....but because its not an easy job to do whatever your situation....:eek: :eek:
Keep up the goood work....mean it!!:D :D

So true... if you look at me LOL. Im an fat chubby dj and ugly might be another thing that comes into it.
But it doesnt stop me doing my job. I dont consider myself a good dj but im certainly better at DJing than doing the business side of things.

I'm disabled so to help carry the heavy stuff I pay my mate £10 a night and he just carrys the equipment about. I also use my manual wheelchair as a trolly by piling boxes on it and just pushing it through to the room.
Once had a party who did a collection for me but as I thought it was because they saw my chair I put it in the charity tub
