I have got the answer I was looking for ladies... there is NO unspoken rules amongst Strippers when it comes to Stage shows..!!! thankyouAlthough I will always respect other Performers and their creations, I will not expect others to do so in return and just except that its going to happen from time to time.
Ok so we have now established that.... I have another question...
Are there any unspoken rules in general that still exists in SC? Maybe I can use the words "Stripper Etiquette"... There must still be rules amongst girls in clubs that are universal no matter what country your in they still apply
I think one of my favourite parts of my dancing career is the creative side of putting together an amazing stage show. All the time effort and research that girls put in really does pay off on stage and I always marvel and respect new ideas that other girls make. As professional show girls we always strive to come up with original ideas that quite often becomes our signature act.
My problem is when inexperienced girls wanting to do shows think that our ideas and creations are public property… They are not!!!! Who ever said imitation is a form of flattery was very wrong. First getting the idea and being inspired is like planting a seed. Choosing music, creating and designing a costume and all the props used also choreography. I mean all these details are taken into account and can take a long time to produce. We don't just pull these things out of thin air.
After my show on the weekend this new girl comes bouncing up saying "wow I love your show what are these called and where did you get them?" and I said Oh thankyou yes you get these here and there. Anyway she said oh great im going to use them in my show at the other club i work at ( in another state so really I shouldnt care, but at the time i did) . Then off she goes and I m thinking... hang on a minute WTF was she seriously going to rip off my act?( i am not talking about a pole trick, a bum wiggle or a certain way of dance ok im talking about a big colourful prop!!)
Does everybody agree that there is an unspoken rule amongst professional show girls that you never pinch another girls act? I use the same costume designer that other girls use and i always love hearing of new shows being performed at other clubs or on the circuit. Some girls come up with truly amazing and original ideas that i admire and respect but never in my wildest dreams would i go and copy it. Be inspired by music, art, movies or theatre to create your own original act that stands out as your own. The only time it is ok to take another girls act is when A. she retires and gives it to you or B. she gives you permission to use it. So this has left me in an awkward situation as I am going to have to tell this girl she cant use my act in another club. I take pride in my work and stripping is my career my bread and butter, its not something i do on the side for extra cash.
I have just joined Stripper Web to get the points of views from other dancers on this topic as i feel ripped off and cheated that this girl is now going to run off and use my ideas.
I watched this documentary not long a go where a performer quoted Oscar Wilde saying " just be yourself, every one else is taken". I love it!!
Thankyou for your replies. Um.... no im not delusional or crazy, lol. Im from Australia and I guess we take our shows pretty seriously and sometimes a lot of money and time goes into them. We also have a lot of great competitions in our country too with lots of titles to be won. No it is not your common nurse/cop/maid.... bubble bath/mouse/fire/wax/oil/cream, but anyway it doesn't matter... I guess I just got to get over it and move on to what I'll do next and treat it as no big deal. Again thanks for your points of views and i actually do feel better about it all....

All I do is just roll around onstage, grab my tits and act like an "anime fuckpuppet" as one co worker put it.
