    Default Ever wonder....

    How well you would do hustling without makeup, not doing your hair and nothing artificial? Just you, out of bed!

    I keep wondering. I've seen some rather unattractive girls make money and I wonder how much I could make without all the care I put into my appearance.

    I guess it would depend on how many of my regulars came in that day. Otherwise... bad.

    Assuming I still had the same amount of confidence going out there with out any make-up on I think I'd make about the same. I don't slather on the make up, and I NEVER touch it up so by the last quarter of the night its smeared, but so is their vision from the alcohol so all is well.

    As for the unattractive girls, I wounder about them too. I know I'm not the hottest thing but I'd like to think I'm not bottom of the barrel. If anyone read my latest post in "Stripperwear: The Trends" the girl wearing that outfit was busted, honestly....Maybe they really do just have great sales skills....I dunno...

    I think I'd do just the same. I don't need makeup to make money at work. It isnt' a confidence booster when I wear it either. I guess it just makes me feel more "strippery" that's why I wear it.

    I think it is to do more with confidence although I don't think I would have the same confidence without make-up ect so I know I would not do so well. Saying that tho, once I worked in a club that were very lax about making their girls come in on time. It was rare that custys came in before 10 so there were rarely many dancers in before then although the club opened at 8. I had come in at 8 with the intention of getting ready when I got there so I had wet hair and barely any make-up when a hole stag group came in. I was the only dancer in the building so I had to get out there and work and I banked! With wet air and a bare face, I couldn't believe it! I think that was an exception tho.

    i never wore makeup after the first few weeks. also, no fake eyelashes and all that. not even jewellery and never perfumes. also never worked out or learnt pole stuff. i was a pretty lazy stripper by some standards. but i was good at getting the moneys, which is really the important part. there's a comfort in knowing you will have 100s of dollars all the more swiftly because you didn't have to spend an hour on makeup and hair before hitting the floor that aids in earning, at least in my experience.

    my failure to wear makeup and take excess care with accessories was often met with utter horror by other dancers, but they made less than au naturel me, so i quickly learned to stop caring about their opinions on the matter.

    I do just as well on the days I don't wear make-up. I would never be able to go to work without my hair done, but some days, especially if I know it's gonna be a slower day I will go without make-up. Funny thing is, most people don't notice or can't tell if I'm not wearing make-up.

    The most successful uberstripper I've ever worked with worked in no makeup and her clean, air-dried hair. You know who you are!

    I feel much sexier with smokey eye makeup, so I dont know. I look really young if I am not wearing makeup so that would affect my confidence. Although, many of the custies loved the fact that I looked young.

    I really don't think I would do well, I would be too insecure and it would show in my confidence. I would absolutely have to have my hair straitened.

    I've never been a hair or make-up pro...When I started I looked pretty haphazard. I think I'd still make money without make-up (and I don't do anything to my hair but brush it), though the little bit of eye stuff I put on helps. I think just enough to highlight your good spots...bring out the eyes, lips, or whatever. Anything above and beyond that...I'm not sure it makes much difference in earnings. I gained like 15 pounds since last year (gross!), and I'm still making good money (possibly the same as ever). I really, really think it's all in the attitude, timing, and sales skills. A minimum standard of attractiveness is probably necessary, and then the rest is just window dressing. That's oversimplified, but that's how I see it.

    Personally, I can and do get away with wearing no make-up. Why? I don't slather it on like a second face for starters. I also have trouble putting it on "dark enough" as such for a club thus it looks like I have hardly any to no make up on anyway! Plus, I'm lucky in that I have one of those faces that works well with make-up as well as without it.

    Tho' I do not make it a habit to not wear make up as my club would frown up it and thus me. Unfortunately, it is a requirement at a lot of clubs that you must be wearing something in re make up.

    As for my hair? I don't do anything to it anyway. Never really have except to brush it every so often to make sure it doesn't become knotty at the end of the night. As for my nails? I've gone months without putting a drop of nail polish on my nails .. I've only re-started to wear nail polish because I want to do so.

    Oh.. No fake tanner for me more often than not as well.

    I hardly ever wore makeup when I was lap dancing. Hell I never even did my nails or styled my hair. I always found I made more money makeupless then I did with makeup.

    Also like Yek one of the best money making girls i've ever worked with doesn't wear much makeup at all and she doesn't do her nails or waste time on tanning. I seriously am in awe of this girls money making abilities.

    I never do anything to my hair but wash it, so there's that. I don't tan or use self tanner. I don't paint my nails and lately it's been a miracle if I get a pedicure. Makeup wise, if the makeup guy isn't there I spend about <6 minutes applying makeup, and then I get the f out of the dressing room. Otherwise, I will have him do my eye makeup, but its really only because I like him and I want to help him out, it doesn't necessarily make me more money.
    I make good money like this.

    There have been times when I got to work and just barely put my heels on when a waitress came in and dragged me out to her "really good!" table and I spent the rest of the night hustling sans makeup- those have been really good nights!

    Granted I'm not fugly to begin with or anything, I'm just pretty low maintenance. Also I think it has a lot to do with what area/ what kind of club you work in.

    I would probably be less confident without make-up. I go out all the time without doing my hair or putting on my face (like to the grocery store/post office/shopping), but at work I want to look hot. Without make-up I barely look like I have eyes, not to mention the zits I get from time to time. But I do think it can be pulled off. A girl at work didn't wear make-up last night (she usually wears minimal make-up) but she made money and had a lot of guys tipping her onstage. She's got this persona that's bigger than make-up, though.

    With all the hot girls at work.. I'd just feel awkward not having any make up on or doing my hair.

    When I'm not at work or at my day job. I don't do anything to my face or hair. Ironic how both my jobs are full of males

    I never thought about how much I'd make without it though, then again I'm not one of those people that look like a completely different person with or without make up on (haha hopefully not ever or at least not yet :p ). I think it just makes you look more 'alive' so to speak.

    These are the kind of girls that make the most money at my club. I really think it's because they are the types that can pull it off, and it suits them. Some girls really do look better without makeup! I am not one of those. If I wore no makeup to work I would probaly scare the hell out of some customers...given that I completely shave my eyebrows off. I like fake looking eyebrows (I paint them on with MAC eyeshadow) do a damn good job of creating them, and the look happens to suit my face really well. I actually get compliments on them all the time, even from guys. I also have very small lips and can't stand my face without lipstick. Like I said before some people can pull of the natural look and be smokin'...some can't.

    Once I showed up to work just out of the shower and I'd forgotten to bring my makeup, it didn't make any difference at all.

    I know for certain that all of the upkeep is for me, the custy's never care much. Sure, I'm prettier with some makeup and my hair done, but I think it's a girls personality that makes her money.

    Still, I like getting dressed up.

    I couldnt do it without the hair and makeup. Its such a huge part of my confidence, and I really have to go thru a whole routine to get in the right headset.

    I see girls come in all the time before they are ready and it is scaaaary how some of the hottest girls are so not hot w/o makeup! I can't imagine not wearing it, but you can still tell it's me w/o it I just have paler skin and freckles. With some girls I am like seriously wondering, wow how did they do that?! They turned into a different girl!

    At my last club, I had a couple days where I'd go in early to get ready, and then get thrown on stage because girls hadn't shown up. No makeup, hair in a messy ponytail, and half asleep. I almost ALWAYS made more money. I have no idea why. But I'm not willing to go out without makeup that often to keep doing it! Lol

    I have this thought ALL THE TIME.

    Im always over thinking, "if only the guys out there knew..." I mean it's like you wouldn't even take a second glance at these girls if you saw them in the grocery store like that- and you might even feel bad for them. But in the club, with the clothes, hair, makeup, etc, they look amazing!

    The first time I saw quite a few of the girls at my club with no makeup I couldn't tell who they were. I hope I'm not in the same boat and just don't realize it!

    I don't think it would make much of a difference if any though; like other girls said I make more money when I'm sweaty and most of it's come off and I made more money when I was new and only wore an undetectable bit of makeup.

    my make up makes me feels like the hot shit I am. Without it, I concider myself cute and forgettable (sometimes that's what I want), with the make up I look and feel fab and custies pick up on that.
    I have known only a few girls that didn't wear make up, only one did well, but she also did extras ( and yes, I did see them) so she didn't need to wear make up. Plus, I think she was worried it might smudge.
    I think that as fantasy chicks we should be just that. Yes, it is a job, but it is our job to look like the superstars we are, not to just walk in and "get to work," maybe it's just the clubs I have worked at, but I have always had customers appreciate the effort that we put in to look our best for them.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    i just want to point out that looks help, sure, but being a good hustler is much more important and makes more of a difference. i make just as much when i throw my hair up in a ponytail instead of washing it. i am a firm believer that i can make money based on how good i am at my job, not because of how i do my makeup, what i wear, or anything else.
