oh NO! my FIRST night stripping....
Hello Ladies! I have been on here for a few weeks leading up to my FIRST STRIPPING EXPERIENCE!!! I was nervous for a good three hours before my audition(at 5:00 pm). Okay, so i got there, and the owner was there, and he took my measurements, and he made me fill out a bunch of papers...including putting my real name, and social security info on it. I showed him my breasts, and he apparently approved. He took my measurements, and he showed me to the 'changing rooms'...how GHETTO was it! there was a curtain, a small ass room with a tiny coat rack and 3 hangers, and a trash can! I got changed into a white thong, my clear 5 inch heels, and white strapless thingy. I applied some eye makeup, some lip gloss, and hurried out to the bar area. By then, there was three guys already sitting at the bar, and the owner put on some music, and made me do 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT of dancing....did i mention i had to keep on my thong, and wear PASTIES while performing!!! there is NO room on stage...its probably a 8 ft platform with mirrors behind it, and a pole in the middle! I guess there are NO lapdances at that club, no vip, just you on stage shakin your stuff for 20 minutes, trying to collect all the tips you can. There are NO bouncers, alchohol served, NO lockers, and I have to pay $25 for the "house fees". I was excited about dancing, but at this club, i think its just a lil too ghetto for me. I feel good that I have to wear pasties and a thong at all times, but the security...im not cool with that! Ladies, can you tell me if this is normal at the clubs you all work at, and if this is just something i have to get used to...ALSO, theres only SOO MUCH i can DO in 20 minutes!!! any suggestions? THANKS ladies, and MAKE THAT MONEY!!!~
Re: oh NO! my FIRST night stripping....
Sounds like a very small club. But many nearly as small clubs don't have lockers, etc.
Taking measurements sounds unusual. Having to wear a thong (probably really a t-bar)
isn't unusual. Wearing pasties may be the law there, but I'd hate it. The house fees
sound high for that place, but I've heard of worse. I like working on a percentage myself,
but some dancers will cheat if they're on the honor system and some clubs will overcount
if not. 20 minutes sounds like an exaggeration. How many songs is your set? A set
is usually 2 or 3 songs... but I've seen posted here tell of 1 and even 4 song sets.
20 minutes is the amount of time a feature would spend on stage.
Even with bouncers, a dancer should know how to defend herself. You can't always
count on bouncers to do their job or be everywhere at once. Your spike heels may
be your best defensive weapon should you need one.
Without private dances your earnings are probably pretty limited. Is it because
of the club's small size or the local law that you can't do private dances?
Overall it sounds like you need to find a better class of club.
Did you make anything on stage?
