Busty and working in Portland
I've been thinking about stripping for a while (like, a few years) and today, I finally asked the bartender at my fave club when auditions are held. (Every Monday morning, according to her.) I'm stressing about what outfit to wear, as well as what kind of shoes. I'm not a huge fan of heels, but I started wearing a pair around the house to get used to them. They're 3-inch wedge heels. Would they be appropriate to wear to an audition? Or should I invest in something more stripper-like?
Also, I'm extremely busty -- I'm a natural 38D and have some belly fat to accompany it. (I'm not fat though -- just curvy.) Will the boobs work for me or against me? Are there clubs in Portland that go more for the sexy, busty librarian look? (Which is what I've got goin' on.) I have a couple of tattoos, but they're all rather small and girly (i.e. a sunflower, paw prints, etc.). I'm not a blonde, Playboy bunny type, but I don't look like a Suicide Girl or a BBW either.
If anyone has any pointers to give to a busty noob in PDX that would be awesome. Thanks!
ETA: This is what I look like:

Your attitude and over all fit in the club matter way more than looks. There are strippers of every shape and size out there. Pick a persona and maximize it. remember you are selling your stripper self so you need to believe in and love your product 100%
You may dislike heels but stripper heels do serve great purposes. They put T&A up and out easily, your legs look fabulous, putting them on you get instant stripertude. Plus, lots of clubs have a minimum of 5 inch heels. You might audition in wedges but you are only holding yourself back. If you're gonna dance you need to full commit.

I don't know what Portland clubs are like. But if you buy ANYTHING for your audition. BUY STRIPPER SHOES. I cannot stress their important enough. You will look like a knock-kneed amateur in 3" wedge heels.
Proper stripper shoes work miracles on your ass and give you legs that won't quit. They're also more comfortable than civilian heels. And if you get them online, they aren't even that expensive. Please, do yourself a favor and audition in the right shoes. Then you can just wear a simple bikini and be fine.
I realize I'm repeating what GI Barbie says, but she is right, and the message bears repeating.

I'm sure you can find a club that will hire you. I agree to ditch the wedges though and find some 4" + heels to wear for the audition. I've seen girls dance without shoes before, but it's pretty disgusting so shoes are imperative and proper heels will make you look much better.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be sure to get some shoes before even auditioning. }:D
