    Default Too chubby to Strip? (Pics)

    Hey girls! I had a baby 6 weeks ago and unfortunately the weight is just not coming off as fast as I would like it too. The dad is not in the picture and my savings are running out a lot faster than I would like them to so I need to go back to work like next week. I am planning on checking out this divey mostly African American club that has a reputation for being mostly clean (from what I have heard any extras take place outside of the club.)

    So yup I’ve read this thread:

    But I don’t want them to laugh at me when I go into audition so I was wondering if you guys could just give me some honest advice about whether I should just wait till I lose all the weight. My main concerns are how droopy and disproportionally small my boobs are and whether the amount of cellulite I have is going to be visible in the club.

    Quick bio: I am 21, 5’6’’ 175lbs and have an ideal hip to waist ratio. I am anywhere from a size 10-16 depending on where I shop.

    Oh I'm sorry my thong doesn’t match and thanks for your honesty!!!!!

    Chances are a club will hire you... but you have to go audition. I'd say to stay away from the gown clubs for now, but the club you are talking about may work well for you.

    I've seen women dance all the way up to 9 months pregnant. Although you aren't a BBW by any means, BBW clubs do exist. The point is that there is a club out there willing to hire every body type... you just have to find the one where you fit in.

    I was around your size when I started dancing, and I only make marginally more money now that I've lost 20 lbs. In the right club and and the right personality being heavier doesn't matter as much as you'd think it would; I even have a certain customer base that asks me where my ass went. That being said, if you have any cellulite whatsoever ask the DJ to turn off the red lights onstage. They make cellulite look ridiculous.

    And I agree with Kylea2, there's a club for every body type, you just have to go audition to find it.

    If you go audition, definitely get a fake tan. It'll make you look thinner and more toned. At your current size, you may get hired in a dive, but honestly, you wouldn't be able to dance in any of the clubs I've worked at. You'd need to lose 20lbs maybe more and tone up. Please don't think I'm trying to be mean, I would just want someone to tell me.

    I have worked in dives before and I worked with women much chubbier than you... I think you will be fine. Just go in and audition. find outfits that flatter your body the best.

    to chubby to strip in a dive bar? no

    to chubby to strip in an upscale club? yes
    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.

    You might be able to get a less desireable shift in a nice club until you can lose a little weight and then get on night shift.

    I've worked day shift with women much larger than you. It may not be ideal but it's something to consider if you need the money until you can get your pre baby body back.

    If you had big fake implants you would make a lot of money. As is, you'd have to go for a dive, I think.

    No offense intended. If you had the big tits, those curves would do well.

    I would say you are too chubby to strip. You can check out the clubs in your area and if some of the dancers are about your size or bigger, then you could give it a try. You would not get hired at any of the 'main' clubs in my area for sure. I don't know about dives, but just because a club is a dive doesn't gaurantee that you would get hired. Its only been 6 weeks since you had a baby. You may have to try something else and lose some weight.

    The club I work at now would say no, but there are clubs that would say yes. The question is, if you got hired would you be confident enough to actually do it without it causing you emotional harm?

    I'd imagine you could get hired. I've certainly worked with much bigger girls.
    But. I guess it depends on the club.\

    It's really weirding me out how much you look like an old friend of mine, btw. O.o

    I'm bigger than you and I still outsell a lot of thinner girls. Personality can go a lot farther than looks. I would advice a spray tan tho, it really helps. I'm trying to work on one myself to help me contours.

    Whether you get hired at one club or another just depends on the club. There is DEFINITELY a place for you out there. You're gonna make some money off that booty.

    Honestly, Im sure a dive would hire you. They're usually a lot more lenient. But if you're looking to work in an upscale club, I'm sorry to say, the answer is probably no.

    If you get told no anyway, don't take it personally or get down on yourself for it. This is a REALLY tough business. Especially right now. Confidence goes a long way. Also, when it comes down to it, getting hired is the easy part. Really doing the job is what you may find you have an issue with.

    You could probably work the dayshift at an upscale club, which might be good for you just starting out anyway. I say figure out where you ideally want to work and go audition, tell them you're fine with days (if you are). Worst that can happen is they say no. Then you can just go to your second choice and so forth, but don't rule a place out just because you "think" you won't get hired there.

    Also, lots of girls work reallllly hard for your waist. I'm overall thinner than you and my waist is bigger because I tend to carry my fat in that area. Sucks!

    one more thing: be really understanding if the first club you pick tells you no (considering that they arent dicks about it). Ask the management if you'd be welcome to come back after you tone up and explain your interest in working there. Sometimes when girls come in (at my club) and get rejected they throw massive fits and then come back 2 months later after losing some weight, but the management is like "no way, you showed your ass". But, I've also seen girls come back and get hired because management remembers them as being friendly. A lot of clubs, esp the more upscale ones, DO take personality into account. They want girls who are going to make the customers feel comfortable and have a good time, so how you act towards management reflects to them how you might treat a customer. This is also why, -sometimes-, a "lesser attractive" girl will get hired over a generally more attractive one. Given that they both still fall into the clubs range of "ideal". I've seen two friends come in to audition and watched the "hotter" one leave pissed off because she didn't get hired. Usually because she acted like a total stuck up bitch.

    ps. don't worry about them "laughing at you".

    1. who gives a fuck what other people think?

    and

    2. I PROMISE you that anyone who's been in this industry for more than 6 months has seen some horrible. horrible. horrible. crazy auditions. Most clubs get a bunch of auditions every week. Plenty of dancers don't even notice them or watch anymore. I mean, I probably see 3-4 new auditions/brand spanking new dancers a week and I only notice if they are -horrible-. I mean, as in, doing pantomime on the stage or cartwheels or something. Chances are you're going to fall into the standard/normal range of what most auditions look like:

    Slightly nervous on stage, not sure what to do with yourself, and needing to lose a little weight.

    Please don't take that the wrong way, I'm only trying to explain that it's not uncommon, and therefor no one is going to "laugh" at you. In fact, in most cases, if the manager thinks you're so "not right" for the club, they won't even let you audition. They're only going to let you get on that stage if you're at least mostly what they're looking for.

    Thanks for the advice everyone! I still haven’t made my mind up 100% either way if I’m going to go audition. Fake tans look AWFUL on me! They just flake off in parts and make me look like I have leprosy (I’ve tried Mystic and at home ones). I will probably just regular tan with a towel over my face if I do decide to audition. I think I would rather work nights in a dive for now than dayshift in a nicer club. The dive I want to work at has a mostly black clientele and without sounding too racist, I know black guys love booty so I think it would make me more comfortable working there. Also my mom works during the day so she couldn’t babysit for me if I worked days too. Anyways I will definitely update if I do go in and audition.

    I wish I'd seen the pics too. Guys and girls like all different shapes and sizes and imo it's better that a club has a variety of girls. The last one I went to in STL was just full of girls who all looked the same. It was so disappointing and I doubt I will be back there.

    Ok pics back up! Can you guys give me good outfit ideas beside the underbust corset?

    I just started waitressing at a hotel this week and am getting paid 5 bucks an hour. Its sooo dead and I have like 1 customer a night who tips me like 4 bucks. So I think I'm averaging 5.50 an hour which is slave labor and bullshit. I've applied to a bunch of other places but no one has called me back yet....I think I'm just going to try and audition. Penny is right...who gives a fuck what people think. I've got bills to pay and the worse they can say is no.
