HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
I'm totally new to this site and to the Austin area. I've been dancing at bachelor parties and private one-on-one shows for almost six years in both the Los Angeles and the San Francisco/Bay areas. Can anyone give me ANY information on working the Austin area? Thanks so much!!! :)

http://www.texasstrippers101.com/ These were the only people that ever called me with parties. I never actually danced for them though. It probably had to do with the fact that I had never done private parties before. This was at least a year ago.
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
thanks for your message! can you tell me any more about texas strippers 101, like for instance, how much they book shows for and what the agency take is? here in l.a., the companies book one girl parties for $170 and 2 girl parties for $300 and the girls keep $70 each and the company gets the rest. the company will never book a "fantasy show" or anything like that, if the guys want a toy show or girl/girl show, they will tip us accordingly and we keep ALL of our tips- the company only gets their initial show fee.

^^^it doesn't seem very fair to the girls?!?
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
that doesn't seem very fair to the agency
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
um.. what? it doesn't seem fair to the agency that the dancers get to keep all their tips???
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
If you read back on CT's posts, his own agency keeps a very large percentage of the money.... also, since he's a agent, and perhaps a greedy one at that, you're getting his perspective. keep that in mind.
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
The agency takes well over half the booking fee? Oh, fuck that. They can show up and shake their naked asses if they want that much money; otherwise they are NOT entitled to a majority cut. The majority cut should go to the one who is actually doing the work!

:yes: :yes:
This is the same guy that said he got his best advice for running his agency from pimps.
Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
ok yeah.. obviously he's greedy if he thinks the company should be keeping more than half of the initial show fee PLUS a cut of the dancer's tips.. that's just ri-goddamn-diculous!!!!!!!!

No, deadsirius; it doesn't seem fair to the agency because the agency should keep the entire booking for the party and the dancer(s) should only get to keep their tips. I don't even understand how that agency makes money when the agency is paying the dancer over 40% of the booking fee.
You can call me a "pimp" all you want to, but I'm not at all in this business to make a dancer rich. The problem with the dancers on this site is that they believe they are doing the hardest part by shaking their "naked asses", which is bullshit. A stripper, no matter how hot they think they are, is just a waiter/waitress who takes their clothes off. Strippers only deserve gratuity, especially after the agency has spent money advertising to find them work.
The cold hard truth is just as much as the agency needs dancers to make money, the dancer needs the agency, if not more. Sure, a dancer could advertise and get their own parties, but if they were really that smart, they wouldn't be dancers!

Re: HELP! Looking for work in the Austin, TX area
Since I have gotten through most of my career as a dancer doing mostly all of my own booking and advertising I will assume that this guy is threatened by the fact that people use his service out of convenience and not out of necessity kind of like how people use valet parking,nobody has and everyone could park their own car,but it is easier to have someone else do it. How many people would use Valets if they acted like they were indispensable??? The reason he compares strippers to waitresses probably has something to do with trying to make women in this business feel stupid and incapable,nice. If I lived in Connecticut I would start my own collectively owned all female party business just to compete with you. Nobody with misogynistic views like "if they were really that smart they wouldn't be dancers" deserves to make money off of our hard work and good looks,I know I have to dumb myself down to satisfy the needy egos of my clients on the regular, pretending to find the mediocre fascinating most evenings and listening to clients wax philosophical about really elementary things,I consider it a part of my job and take it in stride,if I am lucky my intellect is appreciated,but I work to earn money so dumbing myself down to be within the realm of fantasy for really insecure men is worth the payday.
Only a man could gleen such meglomaniacal self importance from bottom level advertising,if a promoter in the music business acted like this they wouldn't have a job.
Sorry to have jacked this thread and gone off topic deadsirius,but man like this make me want to get an MBA(even though the idea of doing that sort of work bores me to death esp after spending 6 years working in marketing)just to put them out of business by offering ethical,classy options for women in this line of work,Strippers aren't one dimensional people a lot of us have more than one job.

amen, sascha!!! i couldn't have said it better. your eloquence is testimony to the fact that, contrary to what this ct-strippers idiot thinks, not all dancers are airheads!! i'd love to go toe to toe with this reject!! i'm moving to austin to start working on my ph.d. at the university of texas. just finished up my m.a. at california state. i bet this loser doesn't even have a college education, and he's got the nerve to call us stupid!! and sascha, please, get your mba and open a business- i would LOVE to work for you!! :-)~
