    I think the main thing about banking for your look is knowing your clientele. While dancing at clubs I was a brunette with a heavier body (not heavy really, just not super skinny and more muscular) and a girl next door look. My customers tended to be either older guys, and professional black guys. I generally didn't appeal to young white guys (18-25 or so) and would generally ignore them unless they seemed interested. Not always, but I've found that younger white guys tend to like the blonde with the boob job. Younger black guys in general tend to like the girls (black and white usually) with the big butt (sometimes these guys liked me, especially if most of the other girls were superskinny). In time you'll learn who your clientele is, and what many want (older professional guys often just like to chat and pay for your time).

    How many of you girls bank because of your "look"?
    Ive banked because of my look before. When i was a newbie, my first club was a DIIIIVE bar in the cleveland ghetto. There was a mixture of white and black girls... but there was not much of a mixture in terms of hot/not-in-jail/not-overweight girls. so i was one of like 2 or 3 hot girls.... and money came easily without the hustling skills. I also had blue hair at the time... and i was the only alternative girl. so any time guys wanting the crazy metal chick came in, they bought dances.

    another club i worked at had almost all brunettes. so i dyed my hair blonde... and since some guys loooove blondes and i was one of only a few, when one of these guys walked thru the door, he easily parted with his cash without me having to work hard.

    you can bank off of your look, but you should never count on it. banking off of hustling skills is much more reliable. you might have a day when everyone who walks thru the door wants girls huge breasts (i dont fit this description) or a day when everyone is into brunettes (dont fit this either). and when nobody is specifically looking for your 'look', you need to have some way to talk them out of their wallets.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I'd go back to anywhere I felt like I could make $400 + per shift. Even ghetto locations. $600 is great.

    I banked off of my looks the first summer I began dancing. It was incredible. I had the bleached blonde WHITE long hair that was actually really healthy at the time. Tan, tall and eastern european looking. I would , literally, never have time to go back to the dressing room for a break bc as soon as i got down from dances, stage, champagne room, another guy would grab me. ...It was awesome. But...then winter came, economy tanked...the money drought "weeded out the herd" in terms of girls who could hustle and girls who hung around and depended solely on their looks.

    I learned quickly. It never hurts to have a few tricks up your sleeve!!

    I do/did admittedly rest on "pretty" because I'm unusual looking. Tall, very fair, red hair and grey blue eyes. I wear my hair baby doll curly, wear very red lipstick and wear a lot of black. Men always seem to have a thing for redheads.

    There's a look for every guy. There's a girl at my club that does virtually nothing on stage, has little to no expression, but because she 'looks' good and different from most of the women she has guys lined up for dances. Regardless there's always someone there who thinks you're hot, it just depends on how you act with it.

    i made a whole lot more money with blonde extensions than with red hair. when they liked the red, they really loved it, but when they didnt there was nothin i could do. i like blonde coz it generally appeals to most guys, and since my club has more girl next door and alternative types i stand out more.

    I bank, but it's because I'm the only girl in my club with my look. I'm a hardcore goth chick. Tat's, piercings, and a hardcorem edgy look. I'm tall in my heels, I'm insanely fit, and I have a great attitude. When the crowd is right. No one makes more $$ than me. When it's wrong though, I can walk out with nothing. Know your knitch, but be able to work around it when necessary.

    Hmmm me thinks I should go to LA... umm ya. I mean my hustle skills range from bad-great depending on my mood. But at the moment I am on the skinny/not much curve, very fit side and that is the main reason I'm sticking with the club I am at. In the past I worked around a lot but the other clubs I work at like girls with boobs and ass and right now I only got a tiny bit of ass and no boobs. When guys in social settings say, "you have a hot body"... I usually say something along the lines of "ya kinda like Im still in highschool" - ps I wouldnt say that at work, but its funny cause I feel like I look like a 12-year old at the moment.

    Regardless of what your "look" IS, it will only sell one or two dances.

    It is still up to you to upsell multiple dances and VIP.

    I realized just now I forgot to answer the question.
    Depending on the city/club... My look either really makes things easy... or it makes things hard.
    My hustling skills obviously balance things out pretty well. But when I've got a look that's more desirable in an area it tend to help greatly.

    I'm pretty sure I'm the only natural blonde at my club, and the only one with LONG blonde hair, period. A few girls have short, really fried, choppy, home-bleached blonde hair. So I really stand out. I also have the largest natural tits out of anyone there. My body isn't perfect, but I'm pretty much an hourglass, so I tend to appeal to a lot of people. I make fairly consistent money, unless it's terribly dead. I also have a Nine Inch Nails tattoo and dance to that kind of music, and on the nights when most of the girls are dancing to bland, generic R&B or hip-hop, I REALLY stand out. However, although all these things really help, I think my attitude is a major factor. I'm extremely polite and friendly with every customer I approach, even if they reject me. I always smile when I go up to guys, and I admit I sometimes thicken my Southern accent a little. So I've got the whole Southern Belle thing going on, and since so many of the girls at my club have like NO social skills and are total bitches if the guy doesn't immediately want a dance, I stand out a lot.

    wow! Firemaiden, you remind me a lot of what I do! Although I have a cute, naturally really really curly BLACK bob. It goes with my personality though-really bouncy and cute!! :-D And I'm right there with you on the "largest natural tits" thing...I am at DD's right now. ALL NATURAL! :-) And I am not a skinny boy shaped girl with fake blonde hair and a tan. I am a coke bottle shaped gal who's got an ass on her for a white chick! Also, I'm pale as can be, with the mentioned black hair, hazel eyes, and a big white smile. I don red lipstick and thigh high stocking with little bows on them. While all the other girls wear those neon bikinis, I am in a polka dot red bikini and a pair of white stripper shoes. And sometimes if I am feeling frisky, I do some lacy lingerie that'd meet club standards and lacy bras and such. I do my hair all retro and they EAT IT UP!!
    My music is usually NIN too (think Downward Spiral & Pretty Hate Machine) and Marilyn Manson, so whenever the men are complaining about all that "ghetto rap music" I get up on stage and just rock out to Manson or NIN! :-) GRRRREAT for me!! :-D it makes me get into my zone and feel naughty!
    As for attitude, I always am flashing a big sincere smile and am sweet no matter what. EVEN WHEN I AM REJECTED!! Older businessmen and retired men love me, as do the chocolate brothers because of the thicker body!! :-D When hustling I always get to know the guy a little bit and my sales pitch is "so *insert name here of man i'm hustling* may I offer you a head scratch? a neck rub? a dance? I would prefer to give the last offer to you for a fair price of twenty dollars though...*as I girlishly giggle and give them my best "sweet little innocent girl next door look".*" It works like a charm! haha!

    I always bank because of my look. I am the only "rocker" in the club. I am the only girl that dances to heavy rock, and I have an alternative look. I have black/silver/pink hair, handcuff/studded/bullet belts, boots, fishnets, and gloves. Guys get excited when it goes from listening to an hour of Britney, Beyonce, Eminem, ect..... and then out of no where Powerman 5000 and Disturbed fills the club. lol.

    I bank on my looks. I am Asian, relatively tall (for an asian, I am 5'7) and a natural D cup. Also I speak perfect english, talking to me on the phone you would think I am some blonde hair Cali girl (I have been told this by many people).

    I tend to go to clubs where there are not many asian girls. Unfortunately Toronto is full of Chinese immigrants that don't speak good English so I don't usually bank there. Toronto has lots of "stereotypical" Asians making it a hard sell for me. Guys in TO tend to like girls that can't speak good English.

    So I tend more towards small town dives. For one, I am a rarity being Asian. but I also find that these small town guys like girls whom they can communicate with. They like that I am exotic looking, but they also like that they feel they can converse and relate with me. I like many things that people in small towns like-fresh air, room and privacy, and the fact that my dogs have a lawn to pee on. Right now I live in the suburbs of Toronto, but I have lived in small town Ontario before. I have also lived in the big city, and even bigger cities.

    I find the burbs a nice compromise between small town and big city. My dogs have yard space, I have more room and peace and quiet. On the other hand I am close to the city- a 30 minute transit ride, close to shopping and I can walk to a bus stop.

    I am also an avid dog hobbyist. ALL dog shows are either in the burbs or in some small town. With the exception of maybe a few "superdog" trick shows that happen in the city.
