    Default For new dancers.. about hygiene

    I'm not sure if this should be in Body Business, or this forum, so I'll put it here and if y'all need to move it please do.


    I've seen a LOT of new dancers (and a few that should know better by know) in the clubs lately that all seem to be making the same mistakes. I thought I'd throw this out there, hopefully it will help someone.

    Here's a fabulous link to etiquette and basic questions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeEWCuo9AA

    And another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJeEWCuo9AA

    Please, do not:

    DOUSE yourself in perfume. It doesn't matter how much you love love LOVE your Angel, or Flowerbomb, or Victoria's secret whatever-scent-of-the-week, when you use shower gel, moisturizer and perfume all at once chances are it's too heavy.

    There are many reasons to not do this. You may have a guy with allergies. Or one who is sensitive to scent. They should not have to have a change of clothes in their car to change into before they go home.

    I had a guy tell me last night that he wanted a dance from a girl, but her perfume was so heavy it was making him nauseous. I can't tell you how many guys thank me for wearing a light scent, cause they DO NOT WANT TO SMELL LIKE US WHEN THEY LEAVE. They can't go home to their wives smelling like Eau De Cotton Candy Amarige Glitter Stripper Sweat Juice.

    which brings me to my second point.

    NO GLITTER.

    It's like the herpes of makeup. Once it's on, it's not coming off. Seriously. Again, guys will turn someone down who is covered in glitter cause they know it's coming off on them. Also, if you've ever gotten it in your eye, under your contact..... OW. just OW. This goes for your clothing, too. Make sure your costumes aren't shedding it.

    DON'T cover yourself in oil and do floor work. It makes the stage stupid slick and that's just mean. If you don't do pole work, or floor work, then go for it, but if you do... leave the oil alone.

    This one is going to sound mean, and it's not meant to.... but shower before you come to work. Use baby wipes if you feel like you smell... "down there".

    But man, when I do a double dance with a new girl, and I can smell girlie smells standing next to her, jeebus sweetie, that is a problem.


    Above all, please remember that you are there to entertain the custy, and make him forget everything while you are there. We aren't there to get trashed underage, or get high all the time, or get to be as slutty as we want without anyone we know finding out.

    We are here to be the best thing in his life in 3 minute intervals and get paid accordingly.

    Please feel free to add anything I may have forgotten ( it is 4 am here.)

    For the love of all that is good and holy in the world, get thee to the grocery store and BUY SOME DR. SCHOLL'S! Powder your shoes, wear inserts, whatever, but we're on our feet all night, working hard and sweating. Your feet will stink, no question. Some guys are even into that. But when you take off your OPEN TOED stripper shoes at the end of the night and there's a visible cloud of stench, Houston? we have a problem.

    And if you have to cover your tattoos/bacne/sex bruises/whatev, pleasepleaseplease don't just use regular face makeup. It will come off at some point, most likely on your customer. There are all kinds of special products that will stick just fine, please invest in one of these and quit sending the poor dudes home looking like they just got done with a mud wrestling match.

    And just as my personal pet peeve, if your fake eyelash is starting to come off, fix it. You look like a crazy person with your eyelashes hanging off your face.

    I think the lack of hygiene in the clubs says more about the hiring manager than anything else. How much time do the house moms/ floor managers spend training these girls?

    My guess is next to nothing. Club owners/managers should know that you reap what you sow.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Please, for your own sake, don't walk around like you are at a truck stop. use proper posture and look like a lady. Don't shlump around the club because it isn't helping you and it won't help the club. I know when I danced I did not want to be associated with a girl that didn't understand how to be a lady. I still don't.

    Please don't think that our job is to be a party girl. Our job is not to come to work and get smashed and act like a complete moron and hang off of guys all night long. This might be a fun job, but it's still a job. You can't act the same way that you would at a regular club. This is a sales job. We are selling a very unique service. You wouldn't go to a daytime job smashed and acting like an idiot. Don't do that here. If you think that's what strippers do, you're wrong. We might act like we're into the customers, but we're not. We might be acting like we're having fun, or we might actually be having fun, but we're always conscious of why we're there. Time is money. So if you think we all go to work, dress real slutty with slutty makeup, get smashed and/or fucked up, and act like drunk sluts and get all over the hot young party guys because we think we're hot shit and the guys are cute...time to think again. That's not what we do. So please don't get into this industry with that mindset, because you look like a moron, and anyone with money thinks you look like a moron, and having a guy offer you $100 for a blowjob isn't a compliment. Be mature, responsible, and in control. Cause seriously, we really hate the young chicks who start this job and think we're all just out-of-control party animals.

    Personally, I think oils just shouldn't be used period. If you're on stage you're not standing like a statue. The oil is going to find its way somewhere it shouldn't be and the girl that goes up after you could potentially be seriously injured.

    Also, oil stains, your clothes, or other peoples clothes. Lean on a customer and you've just left a giant oil stain on his shirt or pants. NOT COOL. We want people to enjoy themselves and come back. Leaving a giant calling card on the guys shirt isn't going to make him want more.

    I just use body spray. It's just enough scent to not be overpowering and it moisturizes my skin without using oil.
    Yes, I'm real.

    You would hate it too, if you had tons of girls starting work at your club who just wanted to hang off guys all night, and would sit with them for the entire shift drinking, and not making any money. Then the guys think it's okay to come into a strip club and not spend anything, and they'll still have girls all over them, and maybe even going home with them. Seriously, our club has an issue with that, and management is indifferent.

    Deoderant, also, is your friend. Bring it with you.
    If you're dancing up a storm and you're sweating... reapply when you go back to freshen up.
    Again... this may be a fetish with some customers... but when no one wants to stand near you in the dressing room and girls turn down the chance to do doubles with you... you've got a problem.

    ive recently started using baby powder for my feet because it keeps them really dry. the only negative is the top part of my clear shoes look cloudy when i take them off, but ive been cleaning them anyway. plus its not noticeable while dancing/walking. any other feet-care suggestions?

    Yes. all the more reason why oil is the devil. Seriously. Moisturizer is your friend. On the same note, if you use body makeup, DONT GRIND ON THE DUDE.

    LOL... come look at my club. Sometimes I want to poke them and check for a pulse.

    As far as feet. Get a good foot file and use it! Sleep with moisturizer and cotton socks on once a week. If you cant afford a pedi, do it yourself. You can even get fake toenails and glue them on and paint them and they look awesome.

    But when I come up to the stage with my custy to tip and I see unpolished gnarly hooves, I am seriously grossed out.

    You should see some of the girls at my club. One of the girls has her toes hanging literally at least an inch and a half off the front of her shoes. I see her walking around in those, and I'm always curious how she keeps from seriously stubbing her toes really badly during floor work. Of course, she keeps her feet flexed the whole time, she never points her toes. Maybe that's why she never points them...she'd have ten stubbed toes within maybe five minutes.

    Either way... they're the wrong size. (But I honestly thought it meant they were too small).

    Some of them stretch out after a few months, too. I've been stuck wearing a pair like that because someone stole my good shoes and I'm waiting for a replacement pair.

    I would also love to add shaving/waxing to this thread. Not just the cookie. I did a dance with a girl for a guy and even though the contact was minimal her leg stubble kept scratching me. I've also noticed some stubbly pits and hairy toes. That can't be good for sales!

    It can be both.
    Sometimes you actually see these girls whose heels line up at the back of the shoe as though they fit... but the toes are still hanging off the front a full inch.

    I know this because I spend half my night sometimes going "omg. omg. omg. why is this happening?" whenever a pair walks by.

    Agreed. Lotions/oils in general! I hate getting on the pole even after wiping it with cleaner and it's so slick I can't do any pole work.. Lotion up BEFORE work so it has time to soak in. I hate seeing girls in the back lathering up all over and I just know I'll be the one to fall thanks to their slippery mess!

    Also, girls that come over and try to steal customers. WTF is that? Like there isn't enough to go around?
    If I am sitting with a customer and you come over and plant yourself in the middle of he and I, chances are you now have a target on your ass for life. Not that I am vindictive or anything, but I will now NEVER promote you for a VIP or any good $ opportunities when I would have said "yeah she's cool"..
    SO RUDE!

    This particular scenario may be rare, but it goes along with what everyone is saying about "party girls vs strippers." DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT ever, let it be known in the event that the case may be, that you decided to be a stripper for 'fun' or because you like the 'attention,' want to 'walk on the wild side' etc. This shit pisses me off. What I'm saying is, be respectful of those of us who do this to support our families, tuition, selves. Take a pole class for fucks sake and leave the money for those of us who need it and are willing to work for it.

    I once worked with a girl who didn't shave. This was a topless bar, but still hair sprouted out of her thong. He legs and armpits were completely covered and it was gross. She couldn't figure out why she didn't get many dances (except for a few fetish guys who loved hairy girls). She smelled too, so her hygiene was all around bad. Make the rest of us get sick.

    I love my job, I tell custies all the time about how I'm having fun or "I only come here for the music" or something along the line of being a fun cute attractive girl, and what better than to get payed to be that.
    But then again I work HARD for my money, and I hustle my ass off, I don't just sit with one customer and get drinks off him. I don't drink at work, I don't do white, or ice or anything.
    I treat my job like a job but at the same time, the winning factor to why I became a dancer is because it was "fun" a lot more fun than working realtail.
    Just because your working to support what ever you need, doesn't mean you can't have fun.

    Its the women that treat this job like a chore that I hate (and custies too from what I hear). The ones that look bored while giving a dance, or zone out on stage, or look pissed off, I mean the guys come in to be entertained, they don't want to sit with an angry boring drama queen.
    Even if thats how you see it, pretend to be happy for the custies.


    But about hygine, brush, floss and mouthwash those teeth.
    Black pepper bits, a yellow tongue, and a breath that smells like skunk IS NOT SEXI.
