    Default a cover for working as a stripper

    Ok, so about a year ago I had to move back home with my parents because my lyme disease got so bad. I'm felling much better now and would really love to get out and do something. I would really like to start dancing because I think it would be a great way to start making money and for making up for the social deprivation I've felt in the past year (i also think my body looks great now and would love to show it off ). To get to the club I'd have to use my parents car which is fine, but I really don't want to give them a reason to want to give me a ride to work one day. I was just wondering what I should tell my parents I am doing.

    My idea was to say I was working as a cocktail waitress at a club somewhere in the general area I'd be working at. That could account for the cash and the inevitable cigarette/alcohol smell. I don't want it to be just a regular bar because then my parents may want to come have a drink there. If it's a club of some sort then I can imply it's for a younger crowd, but what kind of club runs during the day and isn't a strip club? Also, I'd be working a day shift since I think it would be easier on me. I would like to take it a bit slower for now. Any thoughts or ideas?

    I tell my parents I'm either a bartender or do pr for a bar/nightclub. Or sometimes that I do both. Then if someone wants to visit me I say I'm pring the other side of town. I save my money so that's no problem.

    That's a great idea, thanks! That way I would need the car the whole time so they couldn't just drop me off and it could answer a variety of questions.

    You either need to tell them the truth or not do this. Seriously, taking their car to the club is about the worst idea ever!

    1. Their car could easily get damaged, on accident or on purpose. Most clubs serve alcohol so there's a chance the car could get hit by a drunk. I once had someone damage my car on purpose. If that happens you'll have to file a police report to turn into the insurance... which means that the police report will have the club address on it.

    2. If someone recognizes your parents car you could be putting your parents into an awkward situation. If they are a business owner they could risk losing business. Someone could mention it & they could have their boss or a co-worker bring it up to them, etc.

    3. If #2 happens then you would probably be outted & would have destroyed the trust & relationship with your parents. Trust is very fragile... & your parents probably deserve better than you lying to them.

    4. Lying to them & destroying their trust could lead to you getting kicked out of the house.


    What you ought to do is talk to them about this & explain why you want to dance. If you have valid points & can approach it like an adult, they are more likely to treat you like an adult about it.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    I used to say I worked at these apartments/hotel in the city, like on the desk and doing hospitality stuff. Explained the late hours and means no one came in to visit (if they did I could have just said I was not on the desk).

    With the whole car issue, if it's a problem can you park in just a general public car park nearby at not at the club specifically?

    I've never been a big one for the whole telling the parents I'm a dancer thing. For my parents it would just hurt them and make them worry.
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    ^^^ Of course it worries them! Being naive isn't always bliss though. Besides, if your parents disown you after finding out that you dance, & you loved them, you'll regret not having discussed it before.

    Maybe when you get started you can use their car and just say you are going to the movies and dinner with some friends or something. But you'll need to find another cover story if you want to continue, especially of you are working 4-5 shifts a week. Hopefully you'll earn enough money in your first few shifts to make a down payment on a car, and then your problem will be solved.


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

    Ditto what Kylea2 said.

    Yeah, don't lie to your parents. I'm not giving you help on how to lie to your parents. The ones who took you in when you were sick. The ones whose car you're planning on using back and forth to work. Are you kidding me?

    What if something happened to their car at work? Or, you got in trouble and needed their help one night, what then? One lie leads to another lie and another lie and another lie.

    I'm sorry if I'm not helpful to you, but I can't be supportive of this. My parents know what I do and even if they don't like it, at least they know the truth. I'm not ashamed of what I do for a living.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    I don't agree with the idea that the truth is always better. Now, lying should not be your number one choice but sometimes if you know the outcome wont be benificial (getting kicked out or parents becoming devestated) a little truth bending might be in order.

    Personally I wish I had never told my mother, but she is also a manipulative drunk so I should have known better Anywho, best of luck to you it sounds as if you have alot on your plate right now.

    The truth in certain situations isn't always better. Hell, I'm the best creative liar you'll find, but in this situation I was just looking at the big picture, not the here and now.

    In the long run, is it good for her to lie considering her situation? It's a 50/50 question depending on who you ask. Well, if she didn't live with her parents and wasn't planning on using their car my opinion would have been completely different.

    Hey, my life isn't an open book and everyone I know and love is on a need to know basis. So, if she was more independent from her parents, I would just plead the 5th. That's not lying, but it's also not saying anything either, but who cares she doesn't have to answer to them because they're not supporting her. This, however, is not her situation...

    She can do what she wants with her life, no doubt about that, but using the family car pushes the line, especially, when you're lying about where you're going. I'm just saying, tread lightly...

    Exactly, she does live with her parents though & she's risking their property (car). Other than just being upset that their daughter is dancing think of it like this:

    If you loaned your car to a friend to go work at an office, but instead they took it downtown to bar-tend at night & parked it in the bar's parking lot, would you not be pissed that they risked your car & lied to you?
    If the answer is yes, then this situation obviously doesn't pass the "friends test", therefore I don't believe it would pass the "family test" either.

    ^But I think this situation is a bit different because the OP is trying to get back on her feet. It's nice to say that she should tell her parents about her wishes to start dancing, that she should be honest with them about this, but in reality, most girls that would tell their parents something like that would be met with a great deal of conflict, and bringing up the idea alone could damage the relationship, I know it would have for my parents. My parents found out I was dancing and I did not plan them to, it turned out exactly how I thought it would, anger, damaged relationship, things are not the same as they were before. The reality is that the majority of parents are not ok with their child stripping, and would do almost anything to stop it. The few dancers who have parents who support their decision to dance are very lucky. I think the OP needs to think hard about how her parents would react if they knew she was dancing. If she knows it would cause conflict, then no, she should absolutely not even bring up the idea to them. But dancing while living with your parents is stressful on its own, and she should definitely save up for her own car and accomodations as soon as possible, I would think that a month, 2 at most would be enough time, that way she's doing her own thing and not having to rely on her parents' car and house, but I don't think it can be avoided when you're just starting out on your own. We all need family's help at some point.

    Thanks for all the advice, whether for or against my ideas. My parents would never disown me. Ever. But on the other hand, I know it would hurt them and they would do whatever they could to get me not to dance and tell me I could do better. I really don't want to have to use their car but if that's my only option then that's what I've got to do. My friend works at the club and she was going to drive me but is switching to night shifts, which I really don't think I'm ready for. The idea of saying I was working at a different kind of club is so I am as close to the truth as possible. I would tell them the general location the club would be at. So they would know what kind of place their car would be at. I want to be able to earn money to be more independent. Therefore I would be saving for a car as top priority. Being home for so long has almost made me digress in maturity haha -- need to fix that.

    When I was at my old club, their "wine rep" (guy who distributes/sells wine/spirits for the club) would offer his favorite girls part-time work...I think we all did it at one point, lol. Anyway, we would just go around, run errands, sometimes admin kinda stuff, check up and see how his products were selling, or go to bars to try and sell new products.

    So, my grandparents, who babysit for me at night, think that I work then because I'm out trying to get club owners/managers to sell "our" wine. This is a pretty good cover, at least for me, and what I tell everyone else in the real world (class mates, hair stylist...)

    Hmm this is an interesting post. Ive thought of the same (making up a story) ..my brothers are fans of strip clubs and it would be insanely awkward for one or any of them to "spot" me dancing, eww. I came to the conclusion for safety/other purposes tell them where I work just not what I'll be doing if they do happen to spot/find out then oh well, so be it, I will just explain why I made this choice and assure them Im safe, and am going to continue dancing. After all if Im not using their money (depending on family) cant really tell me how to make a living... Hope this helps somehow hehe

    I guess i have the biggest lie of them all. Im currently going through a divorce with my husband and we are in a bad custody battle. I already have an arrest record from when I was young so i do not want him to find out i am dancing and use it against me. He does not want to pay child support and that is the only reason he wants custody.

    But anyway I told him I was working the night shift at a nursing home and it makes sense because I have my CNA and shifts are usually 8 or 12 hour shifts. So I get dressed in my scrubs & everything. He gets the kids on THUR FRI & SAT which are perfect dancing days. If I get into a something I would call my mom, she doesnt know im stripping but she would help me regardless.
