How do you hide the fact that you’re a stripper from your friends and family? Especially if you live with them.....
Living with them? That's almost impossible in today's world. It's pretty much detected after a few weeks once suspicion arise when you give vague answers.
Only you can do is tell them that you're a bartender and waitress at a casino or something, and try not to "show off" your stripper money by leaving a big pile of $1's unsupervised and in the open, buying expensive luxury items and new car in a short period of time when living with them. Another tip, leave your gymbag in the trunk of your car, wash your face and "civilize" your hair after each shift, don't over do the perfume, and leave and come home with simple clothing.
Work day shifts until you can move out and live in your own place. Tell your family and friends you are working a retail or an office job. Leave and come home wearing modest civilian clothing. Work as far from where you live as possible (someone you know may still come into the club and recognize you, though). I would not talk about bartending or waitressing because some of your friends might want to visit the place you work. Travel for work to other cities when you can so your chances of running into someone you know are less.
With great difficulty. Have a cover story and try to cover all bases. I did it for a year when I went "out clubbing" 2-3 nights a week with a group of real life pals (who didn't know what I did either). I had a bag of my stripper gear that I left at work.
Be prepared that you might get caught out and work out if it's worth it to you.
Move out asap. It's really hard to hide when you live with people. And depending on who they are there's a possibility you might end up kicked out anyways and be scrambling to find a place.
As others have said, have a cover story- if you bartend for example pick a bar they would NEVER go to. And not a strip club. Nobody bartends or waitresses in a strip club in people's minds- like even the actual waitresses at clubs I've worked have people they meet be like "suuuuure you do" when they bring up their jobs.
Leave your dancer stuff in your locker at the club if you can, or in your car- the car thing isn't ideal though because extreme heat or cold can cause problems with the heels.
Thank you everybody! These are all very helpful
I also recommend moving out. And probably not washing your outfits etc. at home. I've worked with girls that have forgotten there outfits are in the dryer and there family finds out that way.
Try and find honest ways so you don't lie because it will eventually come back to haunt you.
Tell them that you drive Uber... it’s pretty much having own schedule and can leave any time that you want. I would still sign up for it just have proof. Maybe do 1 or 2 trips a week.
Wow! Never thought of using Uber as a cover-up. Good one!
Like everyone else said, come up with a cover story and memorize it well. Make sure there are no holes in your story. I really like the uber suggestion, gives you a reason to be gone at any hour and as long as you take your makeup off and change into casual civilian clothing before returning home it shouldn't create too much suspicion. Use a lot of common sense. Stripping and living at home really doesn't go together. You're going to want to get your own place eventually. I definitely second working at a club at least an hour or so away from your home. You'd be surprised who you may run into at the strip club. Working in my own area I've ran into old school teachers, old classmates, the salesman who sold me the BMW I bought at 18 w/ my newfound stripper money (yes, he recognized me), people who work with my parents (thankfully, didn't recognize me).
You really have to consider what your life would be like if your friends and family found out despite all precautions, and consider how they would react and what it would do to your relationships with them. Sometimes they will come to accept it, other times this is the kind of situation that can really put a strain on your relationships for years to come.
