    Default Project: Dream Girls

    I have read a few detailed posts written by Audrey on couple of threads in customer conversation section. These posts quite accurately depict the frustration and helplessness that is felt by many strippers. These frustrations often find an outlet through rude behavior directed towards a PL.

    I am convinced that the strip clubs are being managed in an unprofessional manner. I did not want to hijack Audrey’s thread so I decided to start a new thread to discuss this topic.

    In order to keep the discussion focused, we are going to make one vital assumption:
    PLs are angels and they can do no harm.

    I know the above assumption will cause some heartburn, especially in certain quarters. So let me explain the reason behind it; PLs can be forced to comply with any regulation set forth by the management. So, it is pointless to discuss PLs as actors in this domain.

    In this domain there are two actors; principals of the club and professional strippers who are contracted to work at the club. Both of these actors have financial interest in the domain (strip club).

    I would like to create a model, which can be used to build an ideal strip club. Before we start building the model, let us give it a name. Let us call it “Dream Girls”.

    Let us define the criteria that will make Dream Girls an ideal strip club. An ideal strip club will have to meet at least three requirements, which I am going to lay out shortly. We will call it three pillars of strip clubs:

    1. Profitability: Dream Girls venture has to be a profitable one with prolonged sustainability
    2. Happy Strippers: Stripers that work at Dream Girls will have to be happy professionals
    3. Big Crowd: PLs love Dream Girls and dart towards it after their work is over

    1. Profitability: The principals will have to identify all sources of income and make sure that they are exploited to further the interest of the club. These sources include:
    a. Cover charges
    b. Marked up prices for drinks
    c. Equitable distribution of tips generated by strippers

    This will ensure that club remains profitable. Keep in mind if there is no club then there will be no place for strippers to dance.

    2. Happy Strippers: It seems like under current scheme of things they are getting short end of the stick. Their interests are not adequately protected. This leads to creation of an unhappy stripper who finds satisfaction in knocking down a PL’s drink. Frankly speaking, this kind of situation is not good for anyone and must be avoided at all cost. Let us create an atmosphere in Dream Girls, which will create happy strippers by laying down few rules:
    a. All gentlemen sitting in the front row must tip at least one dollar per song
    b. Touching or groping strippers must not be allowed. This should be a ground for an immediate expulsion from the Dream Girls
    c. Lap dancing will not be allowed because this demeans strippers and downgrades them to a stature of prostitute but private Air Dancing or purchase of Block of Time will be allowed
    d. Strippers should be given an equitable share of the revenue generated by cover charges and drink sales just like the club will be given an equitable share of revenue generated by tips to strippers
    e. All contracts between strippers and Dream Girls will be in writing
    f. A professional dressing room will be provided for dancers where they can enjoy their breaks, do their makeups, etc. Each dancer will have her own cubicle equipped with mirror and comfortable chair. The dressing room will have clean bathroom
    g. Security personnel will be given clear direction to make sure that dancers are safe at all times

    (Ladies feel free to add any criteria that I may have missed.)

    3. Big Crowd: If PLs are treated nicely then they will flock in large number bringing in valuable revenue for the club and strippers. So, let us lay down some ground rules on how PLs should be treated in Dream Girls:
    a. A stripper must never be allowed to knock down a PL’s drink. This shall constitute a ground for termination of her contract with Dream Girls
    b. A PL must not grope or touch a dancer. He shall not engage in any obscene activity at the premises
    c. He must tip at least one dollar per song if he is sitting in the front row
    d. He must pay his cover charges
    e. He must buy drink(s) for the dancer he is sitting with


    07-20-2009

    To avoid the unnecessary clutter, let us make one more assumption:
    Construction of Dream Girls was a success. Building has been furnished, parking lot is ready and limousine port is ready. I will go ahead and add one more feature – helipad, in case truly important decided to become PLs of Dream Girls. Dream Girls has an outstanding restaurant and several well-supplied bars (just like you would see in large night clubs). It has an outstanding dressing room for the dancers. If you have any questions regarding further details, please feel free to ask me, I will be more than happy to answer your questions regarding interior design of Dream Girls. We have hired all the support staffs.

    Now is the time to interview strippers. Dream Girls is accepting resumes from qualified candidates directly or through a recruiting company.

    Management has decided that all races will be given equal preference at the Dream Girls.

    It will be an important objective of Dream Girls to make sure that strippers are able to earn at least $500/night. There will be adequate training and guidelines provided so that strippers can excel at Dream Girls.

    Required Qualifications / Skills:
    - Must be intelligent and creative
    - Good verbal communication skills
    - Professional attitude towards her work
    - Must take pride in her work
    - A reasonable dancing skills including ability to handle a pole
    - Good hygiene
    - A reasonable makeup skills
    - Has a collection of fashionable attire
    - Friendly and approachable
    - No drugs
    - No criminal background
    - A person of high ethics and moral who will not steal from the PLs or the club
    - One nose piercing will be allowed
    - One piercing per ear will be allowed
    - No shaved heads
    - Tattoos will be allowed in moderation
    - No Vampire girls but goth girls are OK
    - Artificial boobs will be OK


    PLs, this is your golden opportunity to chime in with any attributes you would like to see in your stripper.

    Dream Girls has faxed the job requirements to all the recruiting companies in the area. In addition, advertisements have been placed in local media for the openings at Dream Girls.

    The hiring process has begun.


    07/22/2009

    The hiring process is in progress.

    In the mean time, allow me to disclose the fiscal target set forth by the management. Dream Girls aims to generate $25,000/day from cover charges, liquor sales, air dances and block of time sales. This goal will be probationary in nature for the first quarter while it is being calibrated against the expenses. This goal will either increase or decrease for the second quarter based on the analysis during the first quarter.

    Management is formulating a strategy, which will allow Dream Girls to meet its fiscal goals.


    07/24/2009

    Revenue Sharing Formula:

    1. Cover Charges: Let us assume Jessica, Melanie and Mina worked the day shift (e.g. 09:00am to 05:00pm). If the club made $5K in cover charges during their shift then they will be given 25% of that revenue, which means each of them will get $416.66.

    2. Liquor Sales: Let us assume Jessica is directly responsible for sale of liquor in the amount $500.00 during her shift then she will receive 25% of that revenue, which means she will receive $125.00.

    3. Dances and Block of Air Time: If Melanie sells $500.00 worth of dances during her shift then she will receive 75% of that revenue, which means she will receive $375.00.

    4. Stage Tips: Let us assume that Mina earned $300.00 in stage tips during her shift then she will receive 75% of that revenue, which means she will receive $225.00.

    07/25/2009

    Anyhow, Dream Girls is delighted to inform you that we have wrapped up our hiring process for IC (exotic dancer) positions.

    We have hired girls from all over the USA and some foreign countries such as Canada. We have girls who speak several languages. All ethnicities including black and oriental are fairly represented at Dream Girls. We have tried to accommodate everyone’s tastes and fantasies. So you will see girls who are blonde, redhead, brunette, tall, short, tattooed (lightly), black, oriental, educated, intelligent, uneducated (as long as they can verbally communicate in an effective manner), shy, aggressive (but respectful), dominant, submissive and much more at Dream Girls. We have stayed away from girls who were above certain weight (threshold) for the time being. Also, we have stayed away from girls with fake boobs. However, if there is a demand for such strippers in future, we will reconsider changing our business doctrine.

    Now, management is busy planning the opening of Dream Girls.

    07/26/2009

    A brief list of services and amenities provided by Dream Girls:

    - Four well supplied bars serving a range of alcoholic beverages

    - Six dancing stages with state of the art lighting system where nude dance performances will take place

    - DJ booth is located on higher level so that he can see all the stages

    - The club has a state of the art audio system and DJ has been instructed to play a wide variety of music except rap music. Strippers can request their favorite music and DJ must accommodate those requests unless the request is for a rap music

    - Beautiful waitresses dressed in evening gowns will be serving drinks to the gentlemen

    - There is a restaurant built inside the club, which will serve a variety of food including Asian, Mediterranean, Indian and American food

    - The club has been designed with lounging in mind. All the couches are comfortable and designed for long term sitting

    - There are VIP rooms that are very cozy. PLs can buy block of time that they can spend in the VIP rooms with one or multiple strippers

    - Entire floor is covered with exotic carpet imported from Persia

    - The color theme of the club is red. Carpet is red, curtains are red, etc

    - The atmosphere at Dream Girls gives an impression of elegance and class

    - Dream Girls does not provide lap dances however, PLs can request air dances in the lounge or VIP rooms

    - Dream Girls provides westernized Geisha Girl (no sex) service. This service is available in the VIP rooms only and is a Dream Girls’ signature service as no other club offers this service

    - PLs can buy block of time that they can spend with their favorite stripper(s) either on the limousine or on the helicoper. They can be transported to a nearby resort also owned and operated by Dream Girls (feel free to ask if you have any questions regarding this resort)

    - High quality calendar size nude photographs of participating strippers are on sale

    - Dream Girls has an outer patio designed to serve as cigar lounge. Dream Girls has a great collection of cigars from all over the world however, Dream Girls does not carry Cuban cigars

    - Dream Girls has fully functional helipad, a fleet of two helicopters and support staff to transport important PLs in a discreet manner

    - Dream Girls has limousine port designed for discreet entry. Also Dream Girls maintains a sizable fleet of limousine and support staff

    - Dream Girls has an outstanding five star hotel located adjacent to the club building




    This should get us started on building Dream Girls, the most efficiently managed strip club in the entire USA.

    Keep in mind the focus is on the management not on the PLs.

    I hope this thread will create meaningful abstraction, which can be used by some new club owner to instantiate Dream Girls.

    It was called burlesque. Of course the dancers had to have talent and very few could do it. Instead of 100s of clubs there would be a few theaters. The cost to enter would be on a par with a Broadway play. You will have quality dancers and customers.

    The SC as it is set up today is not quality but quantity both in dancers and customers. It is no longer show business but a meat market the so called private dances leads to that. I think you will find dancers, PLs and owners want it that way.

    The today's setup is a recipe for misery for both dancers and PLs. If strippers are OK with today's setup then they have no locus standi in complaining.

    The setup that you're suggesting would result in a severe income decrease for the dancers. The way things are now, we deal with a lot of bullshit. We put up with it because of the money, flexible schedule, and other perks that come with the job. It doesn't mean that we don't get to complain about the bullshit. Everyone complains about their job.

    I would love it if customers would never be rude or do things that make me want to spill drinks on them, but not if it meant cutting my money in half. Rather than work at "dreamgirls", I would just get a regular job.

    The model suggested under Project: Dream Girls will increase your earnings because you will be given a share in revenue generated during your shift. These include revenue generated through cover charges and alcohol sales.

    Hmmm...I admittedly stopped reading at "lap dances not allowed." I think your model assumes a very anti-sex positive feminist standpoint (we're at the third wave, not the first or second anymore!)...which I believe is detrimental to female empowerment and whatnot.

    I love giving lapdances! To be honest, it's my favorite part of the job. If I could, my job would consist of 90% LD's and 10% stage shows. And I consider myself an ardent sex-positive feminist.

    Cyril as you can see it is set up the way it is because it works. Women have all of the pussy and they know it. With your model they won't be able to pussy whip PLs.

    I disagree. I keep returning to my favorite club. I keep seeing the same dancers, by and large. They keep taking my money. I keep enjoying myself. There are things that I would change about the club...but none of them involve elements of your model and none of them keep me from returning.

    I'm having a real hard time identifying the "misery" here.

    if cyril were on to something, the lusty lady peep shows would be making dozens of strippers rich.

    instead they are struggling to make money even after making the dancers take paycuts that make their wages even lower than entry level office work (at least at the seattle location, where dancers have quit after the second paycut in like a year).

    Cyril,

    What I told my kids long ago is that there are basically two kinds of jobs that will pay well in life, and if they want to make decent money, they have to choose from:

    Those that few others know how to do (e.g., requires many years of training; or requires a lucky talent like a perfect voice, extreme beauty, naturally athletic, brilliant mathematician - lucky talents are long shots or usually time limited if they depend on being youthful), and..

    Those that few others are willing to do (i.e., usually because there is tremendous stress on some level).

    The jobs that are "dream" perfect, pay well, stress free, that others could do without a lot of training, cannot last. This is economics 101. While everyone wants such a job, they will quickly become filled with competition, ultimately resulting in an economic situation that has those jobs paying poorly.

    By the way it is true of companies as well. For your profitable product or offering to last, you better be offering something others cannot offer, or don't want to offer, because if anyone can or will offer the same, the competition will surely swoop in and enter the same market, ultimately cutting the available pie thinner, competing for price, etc. That or you change and adapt. The Eastman Kodak story applies here, along with so many others who keep wanting to live in the past, while competition passes them by.

    Cyril, read this, and the rest of her post. It is a support forum. The goal of a support forum is not to fix everything. The goal of support is to have a place to vent and let off steam.

    Ambivalence is a normal part of life. We can be both unhappy about something and pleased that it is the way it is at the same time.

    The model is not complete yet. We may need to add few things or may need to remove few things from the design.

    The reason I placed "no lap dancing" clause in the model is because I believe it gives dancers tremendous grief. They have to deal with erection, jackingoff, etc. It just borders on a prostitution territory.

    It seems like major chunk of your revenue comes from lap dances. So, it is natural for you and others to recognize lap dances as indispensable part of this business.

    I have a question for dancers, how much money a stripper expects to make each night?

    It is important for club to generate enough revenue so that strippers can be paid to the extent which meets their expectation. Dream Girls can look into possible options of increasing revenues. If none of those work then no lap dances clause will be removed from the model. In Vegas, they have a bar/nightclub, it does very well and the reason behind it is beautiful girls in bikini who walk around serving alcoholic beverages. I am not proposing all strip clubs should follow the model of Dream Girls; the objective here is to build an ideal strip club which will be profitable, employs happy strippers and PLs cannot get enough of this club. It still has to remain a strip club. I am not proposing a bikini bar or show theater because those are different kind of businesses.

    The girls of Dream Girls are exceptionally pretty and are filled with pride. They are professionals. The job acquisition process at Dream Girls is tough and average strippers may not succeed in securing a job with Dream Girls.

    The focus from the management's point is following:

    - Design and implement solid revenue generation strategy; the onus of money making should be on the management not strippers
    - Revenue will be shared between strippers and principals through a well defined formula
    - There will be adequate training for strippers so that they can succeed at Dream Girls
    - Etc .......

    ---------------------

    I have a question for PLs, do some of you go to the strip clubs specifically for lap dances; meaning lack of lap dancing will be a deal breaker?

    I am the kind of guy who kicks in to solution finding mode as soon as he hears a problem. The case with me is so severe that my wife precedes her venting with these: I am going to share a few thing that are bothering me. I want you to know that I am not looking for any solution. I just want you to listen. OK?

    Then, I say OK.

    But, I could never understand why someone would want to go through all the trouble of detailing their problems to me and yet not want me to chime in with the potential solution.

    Anyhow, the life is complex as a wise man said long time ago.

    The idea is to protect the interests of all three parties involved - strippers, PLs and principals. Under the auspices of Dream Girls, ladies will have to control their urge to pussy whip PLs.

    Agreed. I typically pay off the DJ so I dont go on stage - THATS a huge waste of time. I make all my money off dances and I prefer it that way.

    (OP - you may want to say more than 'Audrey' because there are more than one of us here and its certainly not me over there complaining!)

    ...i see this thread as lighthearted and fun but the reality of it is different.

    On the fun side:
    1. Nothing for the pointless PL's.
    2. For dancers, one bouncer on site for every 4000sf of club space or 2 bouncer minimum.
    3. For dancers, club contracts with dancers in writing establishing club services and penalties such as club temperature, extortion by management, playing stage songs not on the dancers song list, etc... Dancers only have one contract service which is to work their shift.
    4. For dancers, city ombudsmen enforcing contracts and handling disputes.
    5. For dancers, fully staffed on-site salon w/sauna, hair, nails, pedicure, and massage.
    6. For dancers, paid healthcare with an established provider.
    7. For dancers, paid daycare during working hours even at night.
    8. For dancers, paid shopping spree's at the mall every week for every girl who shows up more than 3 times during the week.
    9. For the dancers, spill proof beer koozies.
    10. ......??????

    On the reality side:

    How will you guarantee each one is not cheating the other?

    Let us hear it. Keep in mind sir, the model is an agile one, therefore it can be and will be changed as the discussion progresses.

    The objective is to create a strip club where everyone is happy. The goal is a lofty one, there is no doubt about it but triumphs come after chasing lofty goals.

    WiseGuy,

    Some of your suggestions are good ones and I will add them to the Project: Dream Girls.

    Let me answer some of the doubts raised by you:

    - If PLs do not comply with the Dream Girls’ regulation then they cannot come in. The club is targeting for genuine revenue sources not headaches
    - Expenses will be part of club operation, I am not sure it should be added at this stage
    - If a PL is out of dollar bill then he will have to take a back seat because in Dream Girls, PLs are lined up to sit in the front row; some other PL who had been eagerly awaiting to sit in the front will take the vacant seat
    - Distribution of revenue is not that difficult. There are various techniques that can be used. I see it in the business world all the time. Dream Girls will develop proper formula and deploy necessary software to keep track of each stripper, waitress and bouncer’s share

    Keep in mind, Dream Girls will be a professional organization not some pimp house.

    This came about not because of letting off steam but because of PL abuse. I understand the situation clubs are set up to hustle PLs and give as little in return. When a PL won't be hustled he must be eliminated. This is the business model of strip clubs.

    It is much the same on Stripper Web.

    The reason I placed "no lap dancing" clause in the model is because I believe it gives dancers tremendous grief. They have to deal with erection, jackingoff, etc. It just borders on a prostitution territory.
    You can't protect all three as it is a jungle and when one wins the other loses. The three players are looking out for their own interests and don't care about the other. The PL is the babe in the woods and is the one that is hustled. Any model that hurts the hustle will not work.

    The private dance is the way to separate a PL from big bucks. Dancers would like PLs to just open their wallet and leave but they haven't quite figured that out yet. They don't want a happy club they want PL money above all.

    It has been said many times Stripper Web is a place for dancers go complain and if a PL doesn't toe the party line he must be eliminated just like he is in the clubs.

    I was referring to Audrey_K. I am glad you clarified the issue. The mentioning of her name was to give her credit for writing useful posts that gave great insights into the world of strippers.

    What if there were a club where you could make the same amount of money you are making now but you will not have to do the lap dances, will you be interested in working there?

    This is where Dream Girls come into play. At Dream Girls strippers, support staff and the management all work together as one cohesive force. There is no I in the team. It is a team work but it will have plenty of room to exercise your personal excellence, which can be demonstrated in the form of personal tips earned and alcohol sales. There will be solid means of verification of generated revenues for the interested parties to facilitate transparency on both sides - strippers and principals.

    People in the business are not team players. The nature of the business does not attract giving people in management, employees or customers. We all deserve each other.

    The only way a business model like yours can work is by legislation. In Newark private dances are forbidden by law but for whatever reason things go on at the bar that would make Client #9 blush.

    Earl, (for once) I agree with you! I don't think it's just this business, it's capitalism pure and simple. Everyone wants more for less, wheter it's customers, club owners or girls.
