I am auditioning at a local club in a couple of weeks. I have never stripped (publicly haha) before.
I am a little uncomfortable with my weight but my friend who works there has assured me the club is cool with dancers wearing bustiers and that a lot of the guys prefer "curvy" girls at this club. She is around a size 6-8 and sometimes the customers tell her she's too skinny.
So I'm not too worried about that but now my biggest concern other than getting over the jitters and shyness is that I am naturally rather pale. It's a creamy pale and I have a good complexion but I am wondering if I should do a fake tan or a glow before I audition?
My friend says it actually might give me a bit of an edge because I've recently gone with red hair and she thinks my creamy complexion might make me stand out a bit; but I've never seen a pale stripper!
What do you guys think? Glow or no glow?
kristybelle-DO NOT TAN!! I am white. and when I say white, I mean WHITE. I never go out in the sun and never have done a fake tan. I don't want to because men seem to eat that shit up. Pale skin with red hair is stunning, I think. It'd ruin the whole look. Have you thought of doing a red lipstick and perhaps working a more lingerie-ish look instead of like a bikini or more stripper looking outfit? I work the lingerie-ish 1940s pinup girl look, complete with pale skin & red lips, and men ate that it up! they LOVED it. My suggestion is to do how you feel, but if I were in your position, I would not ruin something that's going to set me apart from the other women. ::)

^ I am a top earner at my club (often the top earner), and I'm pale as fuck. Then again, this is Wisconsin. Plus, I'd probably do even better if I were tan. I just don't have the dedication to deal with fake-tanner, the desire to harm my skin fake-baking, or the desire to inject myself with things that tan my skin. So that means I'm stayin' pale!
What??! You're in WIsco??!!! What club?

WTH?!! Does my boob size have to do with tanning?! It's all a difference of opinion. No, my measurements aren't 40-28-42 and I'm not 5'8. I'm like those "waifish" girls you hate so much 32-24-34 and 5'2. But, that's neither here or there. No, one on here has said anything offensive. Like "Oh, I'm so sick of this club, with all these tall chicks". You really should focus on yourself and the club you're at.Instead of being preoccupied. With that other club.I've faced rejection at clubs. I've never gone on here and said. " Damn Rhino Vegas, with all these blondes". Management chooses whatever look they desire. My sig is a friggin' joke! It's not meant to be taken seriously. Anyone, who knows me knows I'm sarcastic. Back to the subject at hand. IMO I like the jersey shore look. I'm in Chicago, a ton of girls tan a lot here. I think in bigger cities Chicago, New York, and Vegas. Tanning is very popular like J.D said.

I'm naturally pale as fuck, and when I don't tan, no one mentions anything one way or another about my skin tone. When I tan a bit, guys suddenly start saying my skin looks beautiful. Start out tanning/spray tanning gradually and ask numerous people you trust to tell you when to stop.

I don't tan, I'm ghost white, and I do just fine, but I'm also a lil goth girl so it works.

^ya you look good pale.
after 10 days of working in south dakota, i will say that the girls on here saying the tan-barbie look is not necessarily the top earning look in the midwest are correct. Im more of a heavy metal looking tan barbie chick, but the other tan barbie chick who came out also noticed that customers here just didnt love us as much as usual. i am spoiled, and usually if i go somewhere and am the only tan blonde or one of two tan blondes etc. then customers just love love love me. but this club they seemed to prefer the brunettes, tanned or not (actually, some of the choices made by men at this club reminded me of vyankas post in teh blue wondering why the hell customers like certain girls. some of the chubby pale in a bad way ungroomed sloppy girls seemed to be loved here. i think hunters in south dakota are just weird to be honest). Idk why, it was weird...
but this was just one anecdotal experience. In my experience, in MOST parts of the country, MOST (not all) girls will do better tan.

I've been working for a week and I get a lot of compliments on my skin - so I think the pale look works for me. Plus I am the ONLY girl without a tan. I live in Georgia so most girls here are tan.
However, I guess my pale look might not work in the summer....we will see. Thank you all for your input though!
@Italianbombshell - I think you look beautiful pale! And I wear corsets and lingerie at my club too and it seems to make me stand out. All the girls at my club wear bikini tops and obvious stripperwear.

@kristybelle - Thank you for the compliment! So sweet of you to say so! But anyway, you and I think alike. That's really awesome. ::) Yes, the obvious dance wear gets old to me to be honest...and I think that the lingerie look goes well with my pale skin and the pin up look I do. a bikini with a fishnet dress over it doesn't really go with my pearl necklace and red lipstick I wear..lmao. I have nothing against it, by no means. Some women look really awesome in it. It just takes a certain "look" and body type to really be able to rock the look to its fullest. 8)

@Italian and kristy ....you are so fucking lucky -_- I do everything I can to stay pale. I avoid the sun like the plague, slap on SPF 60 sunblock even in winter, (100 during the summer) and I still can't fight genetics. I came out with my mom's genes. I hate you two ::)

You also have an epic body and don't need a tan to hide a whole bunch of flaws. :P

@Tempest666 - It works both ways! I couldn't tan if my life depended on it! I just fry and then peel and I'm white again I just get freckles if I don't wear sunscreen.

@ kristybelle - oh jeez that must suck!! I couldn't imagine not being able to tan...wow. I can at least tan. Do I? That's a whole different ball of wax in and of itself.

I only seem to tan around salt water, & it's rare that I burn. I just stay the same color, even with tanning beds. The only time I even bother to touch the tanning beds is to clear up my skin. I'm find on stage by myself being pale, its when I know other girls are going to be so much darker & the photographers over-expose my skin when they start using flash if they aren't careful... so I resort to spray tans.

I knew this girl who had tattoo sleeves and danced in a graceful way who was very pale. She had black hair and a bettie page pinup look she banked and i loved watching her dance. I think its all what works for you

i am naturally tan but sometimes i wish i could be pale which i cant because impossible. OP u can always find a way to get tan when u are bored u can keep your natural look. But i dont have a chance to get pale look. I think pale girls more luckier especially pin up look fits wery well. Tan skin is a advantage for coverin deformation...
