    Finally goin' for it

    Hi everyone! This is my first post.

    I've been fascinated with the idea of strip dancing ever since middle school (I know, I was a deranged kid). It always bothered me to hear adults say what a "demeaning" profession it is and such a horrible objectification of women and oh those poor souls. I thought, "Lemme get this straight... in stripping, we're are essentially placed on a pedestal with drooling men groveling beneath us and showering us with obscene amounts of money for the privilege of basking in the glory and beauty of our naked bodies... and you're calling us suckers? ..whatever! Where do I sign up?!" Of course now I'm more aware of the various troubles girls *do* encounter in the industry, but that's not about to stop me. I've got a thick skin and sassy attitude that I hope will get me through anything. If not, at least I can say I tried!

    So I'm 22 now and free of inhibitions and jealous boyfriends. I've decided that next week is the week I'm finally gonna strut my shit through the door and ask for a job. I'm nervous as hell but I think I've done above and beyond anything I could do to prepare -- it's just a matter of going through with it now. I wanted to thank everyone on Stripper Web for the many words they've cotributed. This message board is an INVALUABLE source of information for anyone who is considering dancing. It really took me from "I want to, but..." to "Let's do this shit!"

    So wish me luck There are 3 clubs I'm going to hit next week, in order of preference, until one says Yes. I'll be back with either a victory post or a sob story. Hopefully the former.

    Good luck!! Nothing against the younger girls, but I'm 22 as well and I think this is a great age to start dancing. I've been doing it since 18 and I just recently came out of the 'dumbass' stripper phase. You'll do great! Keep us updated

    Well I did it! I was hired at the first place I went to. I was tipped nearly $30 in 1's during my 5-minute audition, and I worked my first real shift last night. I didn't do *great* but supposedly it was really slow and I still made 3x what I would have at my retail job. It was a lot of fun -- right now I'm just too sore and exhausted to get pumped up.

    I do have one serious concern though: the fees at this club. They seem a little.. steep?... tell me what you think

    -nude dance is $40, I keep $25
    -topless dance is $20, I keep $13
    -house fee is only $10 if you show up at 6pm (but you can't leave until 2, so you're locking yourself into an 8-hour deathtrap), or rises to $40 by 9pm which is the latest you can arrive, even if you're not scheduled.
    -I have to get 4 guys to buy me drinks. If I don't, I have to buy them myself at $9 a piece, and I'm talking juice and water. There's no liquor here.
    -Tip out exists for all managers/bouncers, waitresses, and DJs on duty. I'm told I should tip $1 per dance, so if I sell 20 dances I'm expected to shell out at least $80

    Please tell me I'm getting brutally raped in the ass, because that's how I feel.

    So you have a housefee, tipouts to everyone AND they take nearly a 50% cut of your dances which they expect you to tip an additional dollar a dance to? And you have to sell drinks or pay for them? Yes, you are getting royally fucked. Definitely shop around a bit.
