    I agree, I've been dancing for two months and after a few good nights, LOADED UP on costumes..but the nickel and diming really adds up..the lashes, the jewelry that breaks, new shoes, etc. Hopefully you will make it back quickly

    I have to agree, I forgot myself, I had not danced since Aug 09 and it has been an experience. I hope your weekend makes it worth the cash you have spent.
    It seems they softened the fees and added dancers due to the economy so its an interesting hustle.

    Yes. So SO expensive. It's a huge investment considering sometimes you don't even make it back on really really bad days. I'm sure you will though. Good luck!!

    I just had a little heart attack myself earlier this week when I realized I need 2 pairs of shoes!

    I always get sticker shock when I shop for stripper heels. I HAVE to buy them at a store - I can't get them online. I need to try them on, and they have to have a specific fit (my feet are Jacked. The. Fuck. Up. from YEARS of ballet) or I can't tolerate the pain.

    I can't believe after buying a house, spending a grand on blinds - needing furniture, blah blah blah - that I have to spend another $200 on heels. And I need my nails done.

    Ugh. I feel your pain.

    Dood, you posted at 9am your time. Most strippers have just gotten to bed. Don't expect a lot of early morning responses. Right, does that make sense?

    Don't feel unwelcome! I start threads all the time that don't take off. And agreed...9am is a bit early for many strippers. I'm a student, so I'm not even here during the day!

    I think stripping can be expensive, but not the way I do it. I'm sure I couldn't dance in an uppity gown club, but I do my nails myself (just clear gloss), buy drugstore makeup (lashblast is the shit!), and don't tan (strip club lighting = people hardly notice when I tan).

    Some things can be looked at investments, but I genuinely think guys don't notice a lot of the additional stuff many strippers do for their appearances. Then again, this very much does depend on the club.

    A lot of what I do, I KNOW guys don't notice. I dye my hair literally 1 shade darker than it naturally is. A dude isn't gonna know the difference. Same with my nails - I have girls right and left notice it. Never had a customer say a thing. (Unless they find themselves on the receiving end of a scratch - THEN they notice. Big time. ) My makeup brand doesn't matter to them a bit. Things like that.

    However, that's sort of something for ME. I feel more confident with slightly darker hair, and confidence is a turn on - so they notice in retrospect. Same with my nails. I feel sexier with long, beautiful acrylic nails. The men pick up on that little extra tinge of sexiness I exude. If I love how my makeup looks, I'm just that little bit extra confident and awesome.

    If I don't feel pretty, or something. My nails are a little grown out, or my hair hasn't been dyed in a while ... pfft. I can notice - really bad - the effect that has on my earnings.

    Just something I noticed hun, after being gone awhile I tend to stay away from the negativity in the dressing room, I go there do what I need to do and leave.
    I don't complain about my earnings, even with the economy in a slump (shrug)
    I also live in one of the States hit the worst economically. I guess, I should of worded that differently, like break a leg or something. I was also surprised when I noticed
    how many things have changed due to the economic slump, I love to travel so I have checked out many clubs in different states recently.

    hahahaha I got my hair trimmed, lowlights in, nails done, and am getting a spray tan tomorrow since I am as white as chalk. Freakin' expensive, but the hair was killer.

    I hear ya girl :o)

    I have a built up "stock' of polishes, makeup, shoes, thongs, AND hairpeices,lol. I buy that stuff when I don't need it, while its on sale or whenever I can afford it so I don't need it when I'm broke and looking to take a strip trip.

    Oh god ya it's expensive.

    There's ways to do it yourself, but sometimes it's just easier to let a pro do it.

    Oddly enough, guys DO notice my nails. Esp when I either have a light pink mani, or I do a french tip press on ( don't hate! It looks really good LOL and it's $6...)

    I can't tan myself.. looks like crap. So versa is a good investment.

    You can do your own clip in extensions easily.

    And once you know what shoe you wear, you can re-order them from teh interwebz.. (yeah I have 13 yrs of ballet jacked up feet too... argh)

    It is expensive although I use the glue on nails. I can't type well with long nails and I need to be able to type at my day job.

    I've gotten lots of compliments from guys on my nails which I didn't really expect but they do seem to notice when your fingernails and toenails look nice.

    Yes, I agree. I have cut down on my work expenses so much in the last year and a half. I do not spray tan anymore, I polish my own fingernails but still get my toes done, no fake hair.

    I did however, start paying for my makeup to be done professionally each night or day that I work. It makes a big difference in my confidence (more than the tan/manicure/extensions ever did).

    I try to focus my money on the biggest confidence boosters. For me those would be my makeup and new outfits every once in a while.

    I really hope you have a good weekend. At least the makeup is more of an investment and will last you a while:-)

    Yep!

    When I got back into the business I swore to myself that I'd be a very low budget stripper this time around. My weakness is outfits, and I had way more than I'd ever need.

    But...now that I've been back for a couple of months, I'm starting to increase my expenses. I've been doing my nails myself, but I'm probably going to have some acrylics put on soon. My nails break easily, and I just feel so much more "strippery" with some nice acrylics, lol!

    I'm already getting tired of my outfits and wanting to buy some new ones, yikes!

    I guess it's all about deciding what you need to spend money on to look good and feel confident.

    I have, had customers specifically check my hands and feet, fetishes
    I always feel sexier with a nice mani/pedi, I feel ghetto going to the club without my hair done correctly, mani/pedi. A friend of mine uses her lashes over again. I buy new ones unless the ones I had on are in seriously good shape. I don't always spray tan, some guys love my white skin while others like me tanned. It kind of looks silly when you live where it snows more than it's sunny. I think spray tan depends on the location where one is dancing and personal preference.

    Yikes that is expensive - this is what it costs me for the same things
    Nails - $5 - I do them myself
    Pedi - same as above
    Spray Tan - $0 - I don't tan
    Lashes -$3
    Makeup - $0 - I just use what I have which is old but still does the trick
    Panties - $0 - I am a seamstress so I make them myself
    Body Spray - $0 - I dont use body spray just deodarant
    Gum/Mints - $0 - the club rprovides those things

    So I guess all in all just $$8!
    O ya I also cut my own hair. I don't do all of the stuff above because I'm cheap but because I love doing it myself and I'm good at it. I also don't like tans or tanning.

    i'm a lazy stripper i guess, i get my nails done every two or three weeks, and it's just a fill so it's like $25 (including tip). and i don't bother with pedicures, i just wear socks and mary jane shooz. or boots. i love my boots.

    also, getting my hair/makeup done doesn't make me happy/feel confident, really. what makes me money isn't my makeup, it's the way i run my mouth. lol.

    Maybe this is why I get bitched at by the girls who spend a lot of $$$ on their look, because I spend virtually none, and they always say "omg you need to do your hair/makeup" etc, I try to tell them some guys like it natural, and they are like *cakes on makeup* 'well you need to look better" lol
