I love Chicago! ;D
It's a great city to live in (minus the winter weather!). I don't know about programs for single moms, but the Chicago area is a great place for kids. Lots of nice suburbs, safe city neighborhoods, and TONS of stuff to do (museums, parks, the beach, free kid's art programs in the summer).
However, I believe this has been mentioned before....it's not a great city for stripping. There are very very few clubs here considering how big the city and metro area is.
Two clubs in the city limits (3 soon!).
VIPS, no-contact gown club (pasties and all)
Admiral, nude juice club
1 BYOB club coming this spring
A scattered few decent clubs in the suburbs (30min plus+++ drive from downtown)
Most notable....
Scores (gown club by O'hare)
Polkatz (upscale topless/some nude dances)
Atlantis (beautiful club, HIGH HIGH mileage)
390 (standard "local" topless with nice champange room)
Diamonds (nude BYOB)
All-Stars (small, "local" topless)
Skybox & Club O (HIGH milage)
Heavenly Bodies (where strippers are born haha)
So pretty much one or two of each type of club. All pretty far apart from eachother too (little to no competition between clubs) I kinda like it cuz most guys know the difference between clubs, i.e. not going to a no-contact club hoping for extras. BUT the thing that sucks is because there are so few clubs, Chicago doesn't really have a strip club "culture". (So...pretty much the opposite of Tampa.)
Most Chicagoens are just as happy drinking beer at Wrigley Field as they are seeing naked women LOL ::)
Regardless, if you find your "niche" in Chicago, you can do very very well here.
Thanks for posting that information BabyGirlKylie! My friend and I will be in Chicago next month and were thinking about dancing a couple nights while we're there. It looks like both Scores and VIPs are out because we have tattoos that we'd prefer not to cover. Maybe we'll check out the Admiral but I'm not sure and frankly I'm spoiled at the club I work at now.
Not that a custie perspective matters all that much, but Scores is by far my favorite.
I had a blast getting wasted at VIPs last summer with ChicagoEditor. I'd work there.
It used to be decent. There used to be many clubs. Most are gone now.
As for programs, the social serice agencies will not be happy that someone is a dancer. I had a friend who was getting welfare and dancing. Public aid found out and kicked her off. I don't recommend using the programs unless you are desperate and not working.
just wondering what clubs are cool with unescorted female customers? i'm gonna be there in a few months, and a non-stripper friend wants to go tip pretty girls with me.
also, does vip allow girls to start immediately? i'll be there about a week, and it seems like a club that i'd like for a working vacation.
LOL- HB's Stripper School ,hillarious. ------- I worked at Scores and all over Vegas too. Small World.
Chicago is a good place to make a lot of $$$$ =) if you have the right attitude.
I don't know about all the clubs, but I know Scores lets unescorted women in (and we like it!!). I don't think VIPs does, but I could be wrong.
Back in the day VIPs told you you have to audition thru amatuer night on a sunday, which is a total scam. I don't know how they do it now, but I highly recommend calling before you come. And talk to a manager, not just the receptionist. They are good at giving girls the run-around /:O
thanks. from what i hear, i think she'd like scores. i'm totally gonna be bringing a couple thousand, see how much of it the girls have the sense to get out of us. i'll let her shower her favorites, but otherwise i want me some dances. sexy girl dances not pervy shit. big pimpin' yo.
i like amatuer contests. scam how? fixed?
ok, since people are answering this thread, maybe someone can help me with some questions without having to do a search.
I'm planning my trips around the NKOTB tour and one date is in Chicago in October. I'd like to work VIP's and Scores (Ricks). Do I need licesnsing to work that week? What places would you recommend to stay for dancers? Thanks everybody!
OMG! You're totally serious about stalking new kids!
Kikiwiki! We met in Vegas a few times...alcohol was involved I'm sure, so perhaps you remember ;) Glad to hear you are coming to Chicago!
You don't need a liscense to dance in Chicago. You just have to audition. VIPs tends to give girls the run-around as to hiring, especially with out of town dancers. If you come into Scores, you have to "audition"...a 30 second dance on a side stage, but just say you are from Vegas Scores and you will be able to work right away. (P.S. Scores Chicago isn't Rick's.....yet )
If you want to stay downtown, by VIPs, just look for a hotel on hotels.com or travelocity or whatever. Prices vary, but you're gonna want to stay in the Chicago Loop area, River North, Gold Coast/Streeterville. These are tourist/business traveler/safe areas. Also close to VIPs.
If you stay by Scores (25 min. from the city) look for hotels by O'hare airport. The hotels closer to Scores are super shady. I recommend the FourPoints Sheriden (super comfy beds!). It's between Scores and Rosemont (a nice area with restruants and such) but there are a lot of options in that area.
^^^ Thank you so much Kylie!!! XOXO
I honestly don't remember you :( Was I really that drunk? LOL
A bunch of fans going to the show at Rosemont and are staying at residence inn, but will look into sheridan if its closer to scores/vip and the allstate arena.
There's a new club called the Pink Monkey opening downtown. It seems like a cool place. I'll update you after I start working there.
I just went onto SCL (aka the pits of forum hell) and saw the address
50 S. Clinton St.
Downtown (Clinton & Polk)
Chicago, Illinois 60607
USA
312-663-9100
and it says it's already open. This is kinda in the West Loop NOT downtown. Not even close.
This is by UIC so Taylor/ Polk kinda by Pilsen ...over by the jail ... this is a FUCKED area. And I live close to a fucked area. Be careful
Pink Monkey is at the edge of printers row/south loop. Its by all the huge postal service buildings (pretty much a deserted wharehouse district after 5pm).
I know the majority of staff and management...they have big plans for the place, and if it actually pans out it may be a decent place to work.
There food menu is five star (foie gras, steak, etc. etc.) but its BYOB, and they have only been officially open since Friday (still trying to figure their shit out). I wasn't impressed with the interior, looks like a plain basic strip club.
Heard the grand opening was huge, but I was there last night (saturday) and it was dead. Couldn't even get a cab home. An empty club in an empty part of downtown. Not a good sign. :-\
Regardless, I haven't worked there, so GL, be sure to let us know how you did and what you think! :)
I truly wonder if (and it'll happen) VIPS goes how booming the monkey will be. Honestly printers row is kinda the "new" up and coming area. Slowly but surely. And when VIPS is gone the customers that go downtown will want to go somewhere within cabbing distance. The Admiral is a pretty long haul from the Rush street night life.
Even if it looks dead now, give it till after the first of the year when I *think* VIPS will be gone.
