    Default peepshow

    This is about stripping, but I want customer feedback on this.
    I work in a peep show, and doing things MY way Im a top earner.
    Money has been down, so management is complaining about our performances.
    They expect girls to be naked CONSTANTLY and using vibrators, when on stage. So a guy can spend $1 (we get 50c) and see EVERYTHING.
    The notice on the dressing room wall reads "performers MUST be naked on the first coin, and using vibrators, do a hot show so the customer wants to spend more"

    Now, I think its the opposite! Why WOULD they, when they saw everything on the frist coin? Wheres the incentive, plus it is pretty boring if you just lay there jabbing yourself.
    Also, its contrary to the state/federal prostitution laws, telling us to insert ANYTHING. And as subcontractors they cant legally tell us what to do.

    I dont actually get naked EVER (I have the good bits showing, after enough money, but leave my dress around my waist, or a bustier/cincher on) plus I do theme outfits, like schoolgirl, and work to the "oh Im so naughty you get me hot I just HAVE to rub my boobs" fantasy.

    Right now I do:
    $2 - Flirting
    $4- top off (boobs out anyways)
    $6- bottoms off and with pick up the vibrators etc
    $8 - If im feeling like it use the vibrators a little. (sometimes I dont use them at all, specially if "aunt Irma' is visiting)

    I had 15 customers all day (It was dead enough to count) made 100 in coin.

    The next highest earner made $50 for the whole day, and she stayed worked an extra 2 hours. The other girls made under $40 each.
    Im one of the biggest girls there, and was on with two girls who are drop dead gorgeous, and one bigger girl, who is Indian, so gets her niche market.

    I hear you thinking "just work somewhere else."
    Im way to big to get hired anywhere else, and Im doing ok money here, I made $300 in 4 hours, working from 11am-3pm on a school holiday weekday.

    So my questions are:
    How do you tell management that their way DOESNT work?
    Do YOU think they are right? Is a naked woman sexier than a semi-clothed one?
    How would you get around their stupid 'rule'?
    Theres no sense crying over every mistake,
    you just keep on trying till you run out of cake

    Are they issuing you fines for doing it your way?

    Have they spoken to you directly, or is it just a general policy right now?

    I agree with you, and as a customer I personally like it when a dancer keeps the "tease" in striptease. Keep them wanting more, and as long as they are spending then you know you're doing the right thing.

    You say that you are the top earner in your place, which also means you earn the most of the management as everything is split. Don't know why they would have a specific problem with you. Perhaps the rule was made because the others don't posses the same talent level in terms of entertainment and seduciton as you do.

    I suppose if you really wanted to show them, you could just do it there way for a test period. If the money is equal or less you could prove to them that you might as well do it your way. If it is significantly better, than I guess you'll have a decision to make.

    Best of luck!

    First, remember that at the moment management think they're right, so if you tell them outright they're wrong, in their minds you're just being argumentative. Instead, you need to make them think you're being helpful. This means picking your moment and not trying to get all your points over at once. I'd make your points as follows;

    (a) Money is tight and people are reluctant to spend
    (b) The better you do, the better the business does because they're getting 50% of your earnings
    (c) You know what works for you and your earnings reflect it
    (d) Men come in to see a bit of naughtiness and when they've seen it, they'll go - if they see it all immediately they've no incentive to keep spending
    (e) If they know they'll see the naughtiness, but not immediately, they're likely to keep feeding coins until you use toys
    (f) You're very happy to follow their instructions, but you feel that that'll actually make their earnings worse - and you don't feel that's in either of their interests.
    (g) Why don't you agree some principles with them - if your earnings stay above a certain level, you do it your way. If they fall below that level, of course you're happy to follow their advice.

    Above all, keep using the word 'we'. WE'LL do better doing this, WE'LL earn more doing that. And at the first sign of irritation back off and leave it for a day or two. Your aim is to change their minds, not get involved in an dispute.

    My friend calls it 'people engineering' - trying to find the best way of getting people to do what you want. If one way doesn't work, change tactics and try another way. It's getting the right result that counts, not scoring points in an argument.

    Phil.

    I believe a semi-clothed woman can be sexier than a naked woman. Clothes flatter. Clothes allow the imagination to work overtime. When you're naked, there's nothing to the imagination.

    When you deal in fantasy, you are working with their imagination. So I say, you go, girl! Work their imagination, build the fantasy, and earn that coin.

    Management shouldn't have anything to say if you're making more money for them. After all, you're following that last part of the rules, the most important part, right?

    Well today I called up to go on the next roster, and Ive been told unless Im naked on stage at all times then I wont get shifts.
    So I have three choices
    - Suck it up and do it there way, and make no money (Ive done it thier way in the past and thats what happened ) until they a) see how much my money is down b) forget about it
    - ignore them and make decent money until I get fired
    - quit, work a few shifts at the other place(theres no point doing more than 3 shifts, or the custies get sick of you), where the money is slightly less, but the boss and I get along, and he appreciates the fact I make THEM good money.

    My short term goal is to save money until we go away in June, then Ill focus on a regular job and work 2 nights a week.

    If ignoring them and making decent money til you get fired, is still more lucrative than going to the other place, than I vote ignore them. Get what you can until they fire you and then go to work at the other place until you go away in June.

    See its hard to judge how the money will go. Im leaning towards doing it there way for one week, pointing out how crap my money was, and then just doing it my way.
    I figure that theyll only check up on me this week, and if im naked theyll forget about me.

    Also Im going to be a bitch "Im cold put the AC off" "now Im hot turn it on" cos I get hot doing my thing, and freeze sitting there naked if its quiet.

    i would agree, then when they say something you say that you forgot and just did what you're used to. sorry. you'll do it right next time.

    you're just a stupid skank anyways, right? lol. if management is that stupid, i totally wouldn't try to reason with them on any intellectual level. they probably don't see you as capable of that anyways.
    -love everyone but keep them far from your soul-
