I gotta agree with Babes Promotions Rach. She isn't inflating the potential income of someone working in the towns that her particular agency will send you as a skimpy. You have to remember that you will be the only type of 'adult' entertainment in town... and if you.. say.. do a F&V show for $300... and you are working monday-friday (sometimes saturday)... and do two shows a day wed-thu-fri ... 6 shows for the week (XXX showgirls always will be booked more so this is a conservative figure)... you do the math... ON TOP OF what you are already getting in tips (between $50-200+ a shift) and wages as a Skimpy (10-40 hours a week).
Believe me it is VERY possible to do upwards of 10 shows a week when you offer XXX shows ('natural masturbation', fruit n vege, dildo/toy, pearl). Goodness, I was doing half of that easily just doing straight strips (for $200 a show) for a week. They will and do pay. No BS. No hooking.
In the end, hard work (you are on your feet all day) however very lucrative because the places you are going (not necessarily Kalgoorlie.. regional/country WA) do not have much in the way of 'adult' entertainment... and the miners DO have the money (I know this for a fact thanks to Mt Isa Boy).

im not saying they ARE hookers, im saying if i met a dancer who claimed to make that much, yeah id think she was a hooker.
5-7k a week is NOT a common figure to be throwing around on these boards for dancing.and its common knowledge here that astronomical figures are generally inflated or really hooking.
Vee, i completly trust your take on this figure. i still find it reasonably hard to believe, but i know you have been there,an dhave no reason to lie :)

In the end, if you put in the hours as a Skimpy as well as advertise yourself well enough at the beginning of your work week... you will find that you are doing more than 2 shows a night! If you are going to be doing the show for a large crowd, do a 45 minute show. It sounds long however isn't that long when you are doing XXX as XXX shows usually run 25-30 minutes anyway... the extra 15 minutes you can use during the show to hustle for tips (if you so desire).... if you do end up doing one big long show like that... charge them a reasonable amount.. $300 for the first 25 minutes and $100 every 5 mins thereafter... making it a total of $800 for that show.
The reason why the figure is so high is because it isn't strip club dancing. You are a skimpy first and foremost. You do that and earn a decent per hour wage plus any tips you make every night. After that, if you are 'open' to doing XXX shows (these are not tame by a long shot it is like watching live porn in a way :laughing: ) you can make some really decent money 'on the side' hence making the $5000 figure.
Goodness, once I have my solo act in re: Australian Playgirls together I can easily charge $250 for that 15 minute show and if they want me to go for longer and make it more wild then they pay $100 per 5 minutes more, in my opinion. ;)
I understand where you are coming from Rach as these are the figures that were thrown at me in re: Kalgoorlie originally. It's possible with the right location and hard work (put in the hours as Skimpy). If you cut down your hours (only work 15 hours a week) then you won't make anywhere NEAR $5000 even after doing quite a few shows 'on the side'.

Well, I'm off to Kalgoorlie again! I'll be leaving this Sunday 21st ...I'm nervous as I'm going there as a stripper first and skimpy second. What this means is that I'm only going to be doing something like 10-15 hours of Skimpy work so as I can concentrate on doing my strip show bookings. Now that I can and will do natural masturation/lollipop shows I can charge more per strip show.
Here's hoping I get a few in my first week and even more in my second week. I'll keep everyone updated. I'm going thru Brief Encounters (Josey) as whilst my last experience with her wasn't crash hot... we've both learnt from that experience.
One day I will go thru Babes... one day.
(My "minumum" plan is to work 10 hours @ $25 per hour plus say $100 in tips total each week plus 2 shows in my first week and 3 shows in my second week... anything more is a bonus)

I thought you were supposed be coming through us? Oh well if you run into probs when your here give us a call.

Last minute change of plans as it looks like the agency I was going thru originally can't guarantee me any shows for the week... any! I'm not going to go work somewhere for less than $300 in money since it will be costing me $300 to get there!!
I'm going to take the plunge and go with Babes this time around. I'm seeking 2-3 hours skimpy work monday to friday with the chance to make decent tips as well as a good chance that I will be booked for (at least) 2-3 natural masturbation (incl. pearls and lollipops) shows each week.
:'( This isn't working out like I had hoped so far.
It seems Brief Encounters is really only good if you are primarily a Skimpy otherwise do not bother if you want to do shows as well as work as a Skimpy. That agency will give you plenty of work if you are a Skimpy. Don't expect much if you want to work as a stripper as well as a skimpy.

Hey everyone, I'm still in WA... one more week to go before I head off home.
The claims that Babes made about the earning over $2000.. I can say is so damn true! Especially after the Dampier booking. Unfortunately, due to the hours I was doing I was unable to really do any shows however if I did ... I would've made even more... as it was.. I earnt $300+ in tips three different nights. Only really had one 'bad' night that week earning around $100 otherwise I easily earnt $200 the other nights. Also, this is one of the most relaxed bars around... feel free to wear comfortable shoes instead of high heels or anything like that behind the bar. Goodness, the "normal" barmaids were wearing thongs/flip-flops! :laughing: Be friendly and outgoing... this is how I made good $$ plus have a set price up-front with how much it will cost the guys for you go to nude. I charged $50 for the privelage of me going nude incl. any photos they wanted to take.. and I only went nude for up to half an hour or something like that... the same with the "titty kitty" jug. Depending on how much I thought I had received via the jug determined how long I stayed topless. All in all... I wouldn't mind doing this booking again! ;D
The Geraldton booking is more lucrative in re: the per hour wage than tips. The tip I will pass on if you do this booking is to start collecting tips (use a jug) around 6pm as they bring out the food which you serve topless around 6.30-7pm .... and I got caught out once with the bar being busy and thus didn't have time to collect tips yet they still expected me to go topless even tho' I had made no money. Also, work hard in Geraldton... serve the customers!
My final booking is in Collie. This one is a short wed-fri booking as after Dampier I really needed something short/easy. BTW, I can recommend Billabong Hostel for accommodation in Perth over Rainbow Lodge. Rainbow Lodge is dead cheap for a reason. It's only really good if you're doing an 'overnight' stay otherwise go with Billabong Hostel. Soooooo much better here.

Well, I'm not going to be in a hurry to go back to Collie unless it does get warmer there. I wasn't miserable at my other two bookings as they generally were warm or similiar weather/tempreatures as home (Gold Coast) yet Collie... brr! They had their fires roaring and I was still freezing. I ended up only doing Wed night as I was sick Thu thanks to how cold I was and the really crappy bed I was sleeping in (it reminded me of rainbow lodge hostel with how I could feel each and every spring in the bed! I did NOT get a good nights sleep)... basically, I was miserable and my body reacted to my misery. That's just me tho' - I dispise cold weather. It makes me grumpy (not so friendly) as I'm freezing my tits off! :laughing:
Anyway, all in all it was profitable enough. I went home with a decent profit after everything and look forward to doing it again... plan to do so for my annual "get the hell out of Surfers Paradise 'coz of Schoolies" trip.

Hi Vanessa
Yes a shame Collie was so cold, unfortunately that time of year! Glad the trip was profitable for you none the less. Next time we will endeavour to get some posters around to promote you better with a bit more notice.
Cheers

hmmmm maybe i should look into this more seriously.... ;)
a two week booking is the min?

You can work as long or short as you like, just that a 2 week stint makes it more profitable for you considering you have your flight from eastern states to take into account. Let us know if your keen and we can book you.

I totally agree ;D I also would say that anyone who isn't already located in Perth who wants to do Skimpy work in WA should do a min. 2 weeks. Besides, my "get the hell away from Schoolies" annual trip is a min. 2 week trip.. it's not til the end of November so I won't be making my mind up where I will be going for those two weeks until October at the very least.

It is busy anytime of year for Skimpy work!! It's one of the those areas of employment where you can do well anytime of year ;) If you go through Babes Promotions like I did (totally recommend it btw), do give them at least 7 days notice that you want to work through them (and please do tell them that Vanessa recommends them so that they know for their records).

Have you any barmaid skills? Not that it matters as you will learn "on the job" as such and you'll do very well with the "titty kitty" jar due to your boobs (even if they are fake it doesn't matter lol)... just don't be to snobbish with the guys. They will tip you handsomely if you work with them not against them. Be bubbly, vivacious, extroverted, laugh etc as you are the "entertainment" as such. It isn't easy work by a looooooooooong shot! Yet it can be worth it due to the hourly wage that you receive and the tips can be pretty decent at some locations over others.

Hi, I worked as a skimpy for Babes over Christmas last year and had a great time. I'm back in the UK now but would go back in second and work through them again if I had another visa! xx

celeste, is it really that cold there atm? :( for some reason i thought it was warm there, ah just looked at the map, freaking perth is in line with sydney :( bummer.
i have to come over anyways, for work. i wont be dancing in perth tho,i am hoping to save that for kalgoolie.
vee, i dont have any bar experiance, but, how hard is it to pour a drink, wipe down a table, clean an ashtray and smile :) as a kid i used to work with my olds cleaning bars after they closed at like 6am. im sure i can handle it :)

Yeh, it is easy skill to pick up however I will forever be stumped when it comes to shots and cocktails. I definately have to get someone else to do it (unless it is something simple like a tequila shot or cock-sucking cowboy). The only strip clubs are in Perth specifically.
And I totally recommend going over for two weeks minimum so you can make back your airfare and a few misc. expenses in your first week. Also, do not stay at The Rainbow Lodge when you have to stay somewhere overnight. That place was shit. Great location yet shit. Billabong was decent yet it was a cab-ride away from the central Perth railway station. A couple of hostels I would like to check out next time are due to their locations to Perth railway station are The Old Swan Barracks ( http://www.theoldswanbarracks.com/ ) and Globe Backpackers ( http://www.globebackpackers.com.au/ ).
Babes Promotions doesn't really cater to Kalgoorlie. They cater for the rest of Western Australia... other mining towns small and large. There isn't just money in Kalgoorlie.
