trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
Many times a night I get asked some lame variation of "So where are you from?" I normally just draw it out by talking about Los Angeles (I'm Filipino). I probably get dances from 1/3 of the guys that ask this and I consider it sometimes small talk, sometimes their trying to figure out if I'm exactly their fantasy.
I wonder how I can use that question, which always comes up in the first few sentences of a conversation, for more dances. (I just thought of a great and corny one last night for at the rack, but didn't get a chance to use it -- "I'm exotic and erotic, come find out!") Ideally I'd love to tap into some deep desire of theirs -- I get asked ALL OF THE TIME by random men on the street if I'm Thai. If they walked into my club I would hope I could extract $$ out of them instead of saying rude things about Western fetishes and putting my headphones on. But when they ask that question I find it difficult to probe enough to find out what Asian sensation they're dreaming about well enough to be like, "Well you're in luck, because I grew up barefoot on a Fiji island.""
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
Ask them to guess. Whatever they guess, that's what you are. And make a big deal out of how smart they were to figure it out! "I can't believe you got it right, no one else ever does, everybody just thinks all Asians look alike but YOU knew the difference, blah blah blah!" If, by off chance, they were playing a headgame and guessed Thai when they really think you look Filipina, you can laugh and congratulate them even more, because your dad's side of the family was from the Phillipines.
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
Yep, that's what I do. I could be a lot of things but I choose to be whatever a guys thinks I am.
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
Yes, use your exotic looks to your advantage!!! Act, pretend--a lot of our job entails acting, playing a role.
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
Usually when it comes to my background I'm asked if I'm this or that, not normally what I am, usually somene thinks I'm european, or italian to be more specific, and it's really weird to me because I just think I look like a white chick! I do the "what do you think?" with my age though, it's funny to hear what someone thinks and then instead of answering I would just giggle and say (real flirty/cute) "sure"! They think it's cute because I'm being ~mysterious~! LOL!
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
People always ask me where I'm from... especially because of my accent I think. I try to use it to my advantage. I think when they're interested in your nationality it gives you more change to "flirt" with them and turn it into a dance... Try to be cute/flirty about your nationality, if you act like they should like girls of your nationality, they will :P
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
:P Being a chinese girl from England has it's advantages. My accent gets a tad bit thicker in the club.

Whatever you say, keep the story stright. What if you tell Bill one thing and Tom another, and one day they happen to for some reason talk, then you would lose money :)

All you girls that tell customers what they want to hear, arent you ever worried that they will tell a girl that works there and she'll expose you as a liar? Especially at the higher-drama clubs. That's the main reason I've never tried this.
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
^^ I don't think girls care if you are lying to customer about your race or age. I'm sure they do it all the time too.

Oh man. If I were a customer and I was approached by a Chinese girl with an English accent, I would just hand you my wallet and the PIN to my ATM card. I always wanted a lapdance from Cho Chang. ;)

LOL! book cho or movie cho?
actually, i get asked ALL the time what my heritage is, and i usually lie my ass off to be what they think i am, it works best when they think they are right. and 99% of guys think im irish. i am full blown 4th generation american- russian, polish and Israeli Jew but if they say Irish (red hair) i say "You know it!" If they press me for where i went to high school i say "parochial school" which literally means religious (i went to a jewish high school) but most people assume that's catholic school and i'm somehow a naughty catholic schoolgirl. I say just go with what they say you are and make it work to your benefit like Yek said.
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
i've turned it into a little game. i'm half vietnamese, and half swedish. but i look hispanic, am sometimes accused of being italian, and i often get called american indian!!!
the rules to the game are each customer gets three guesses, they have to be country specific. after the three guesses, if they want more, they have to get a dance, and they get three more guesses.
usually the customer ends up forgetting about the guesses half way through the dance and gets a few more dances. i always give them their three guesses per dance though, to be a good sport. i've only had 3 guys guess my ethnicity in 5 months of dancing. even after the extra guesses!
in order not to ruin the game though, if they guess it right, wink and tell them its ya'alls little secret and not to tell. *grin*
Re: trading my ethnicity for money... yes please!
