Re: Getting myself ready...
OP - I'm super impressed that you kept your boundaries firm. It can feel intimidating to say "no" during the hiring process...especially when you've already mustered up the courage to go inside, have already filled out an application, etc. Good for you!
I'm surprised they didn't offer a compromise. They could've had you come back when a hiring manager was working, or auditioned you and taken notes on your appearance, or taken a head shot and added a comment about your breasts...
Re: Getting myself ready...
I wouldn't have agreed to do a topless shot either. All I can think is that those photos must be used as masturbation material for management and staff.

Thanks! It seemed fishy to me, or elitist or something. When I expressed my concern to the house mom she said, "nothing happens to them. They just stay right here on this computer." Why wouldn't they get deleted then?

I've taken a headshot for an audition before (which is rubbing up against my boundaries, but the club had a good reputation), and that's the farthest I'd go. I don't have any issues with a manager wanting to see my face and body in person - it's the nature of the business - but why would they need a permanent picture of my body? If they're concerned about tracking weight gain or anything like that, they can jot down notes about the dancers' appearances and body types. In bigger clubs, I can see why they might want a head shot to make sure that the dancer showing up for her shift is the one that they hired, or to track tipouts or something... But I think most managers of smaller clubs do it just because they can (and it's not a super common request, in my experience). Not cool.
Keep us updated on your progress, girlie!!
Re: Getting myself ready...
Would u agree. If they didn't shoot your face just chest? I get nervous about pics.
