So, I've been reading the board for a few days, and I think I've gotten a lot of info. I hope I will not be asking any repeat questions, and I think they're pretty specific, but I apologize if it's been asked before!
What's with clapping the shoes while dancing on stage??
One strip club that I'm thinking of auditioning at doesn't have a pole, so all the dancing on stage involves a lot of floor work. I notice about half the time, the dancers will clap their shoes together so it makes a nice loud clack sound. Is this purely for sexual appeal for guys? Why is it so? I don't get that!
I have no idea, maybe its a regional thing- i haven't really seen that around here
What is it like working without a CR?
As far as I know, I'm like, 99% positive that the two clubs I want to work at do NOT have champagne rooms. In the aforementioned club, they have areas where there's booth seating and they're in the corners, somewhat raised on platforms and are dark, BUT you can kinda see what's going on. I wonder if it's for safety sake or what..
For what it's worth, where I live, the 21+, alcohol-serving clubs are all nude. Though, it is up to the girl to take everything off. However, 95% of the time, girls get completely naked.
Reading some experiences of CR, I feel like I'll be missing out on something!
The CR's are in the back so maybe you just haven't seen them since they're kinda hidden- i'm sure you'll find out soon enough though. You kida do would be missing out without CRs cause thats where the big money happens. However it is very reallistic to make really good money just by doing lots of lap dances all night- its just more effort and more tiring.
How strict is your club regarding sexual encounters?
Besides this site, I've read blogs and other places about various women's experiences working at clubs. Many are sticklers and adhere to strict club rules, some others.. not so much, as in giving sexual favors, doing drugs with customers, etc. That kind of worries me, because while I know the laws here are very strict, I'm not completely naive and know that things will happen. But I would never want to work somewhere where it'd be presumed that during a lap-dance or CR (if there is a club that has it) that the customer would be receiving some sexual favor.
I know that a lot of people don't do that, but I can't help but be worried based on some things I've read. How much of a concern should this be? The establishments I go to are reputable, appear clean, and tend to attract pleasant clientele. I haven't heard anything recenty about any "raids" on local clubs, so that makes me feel better.
I guess I'm just not sure what to expect when I go "behind-the-scenes." How assertive do I need to be so I don't get pressured into doing something?
This depends on which area of the country you are in, for example, florida is notorious for extras, while the rest of the country with a few exeptions is mild. Usually the clubs set these rules about whats allowed, and they try to keep it clean for fear of raids. But also, noone can pressure you into doing anything you're not comfortable with.
What was your first couple weeks like?
I think what I'm really nervous about is not getting naked and dancing for customers, but what goes on in the dressing room. When I danced at amateur night, I could tell some of the women I encountered were genuinely nice and personable people, then I could see who weren't and who I could see in the future being aggressive to newbies. I really don't want to step on peoples' toes and I want to have a pleasant relationship with coworkers, but I can see how that might set me up for problems later if I'm too polite and lay like a carpet.
So what was it like? How did you establish yourself as a newbie? What are some signs to watch out for if things are going sour?
This also kind of depends on the club culture but most of the time the girls are pleasant and helpfull. the first week is kinda a blur cause you're learning all this new stuff and concentrating on not falling over in the shoes. The important thing is to lock your stuff up, trust your gut and don't get too drunk.
How important is makeup?
I have rather sensitive skin, and I never wear makeup normally. The only makeup I have is some powdery stuff I was using to cover up a bruise on my leg when I danced in amateur night. My lips are naturally dark, and I only wear lip balm when I need to. I was hoping I could go for a natural look, since I look pretty young and I thought that could be my niche - natural, innocent girl kind of thing. (Of course, I'd wax the necessary parts though. I can't be THAT natural!! Unless of course, it's Birkenstock and Granola night..)
If it should be necessary, what are some brands you'd recommend that aren't harsh and are as natural as possible? My skin can't handle much more than gentle lotions without breaking out in spots.
there are some girls that don't wear makeup, and it works for them If you can, try to still wear eyeliner and mascara and accentuate your eyes
Purse, shoes, or garter belt for money?
What's the safest and easiest way you find for carrying your money around? I liked the idea of rubber-banding money and folding it over a garter, but I'd be afraid it'd fall out. A little purse would be convenient, but it sounds easy to steal. I've actually never seen any girls at strip clubs here use tip shoes, but that sounds interesting.
Would it be quicker and safer to run to your locker and squirrel it away there?
I personally wear it in a garter rubber banded and i have never had any episodes of losing it- its pretty secure. some girls wear it ruber banded around their ancle and thats effective as well. locker squirelling is not a good idea as you don't want to be interrrupted and have to run back to the dressing room every time you get a dollar. the purse is ok but more risky since you can't always be watching it.
I think that's all my nervous head can come up with, so thanks for any advice!
