    I can't answer your questions about dancing in nude clubs in Atlanta, but in response to #2:

    First of all, what do you mean by "money belt"? Are you talking about a garter? Most dancers wear a garter around their thigh to slip tips into. I've seen some girls wear it on their shoe instead though. You can rubber band the money on there after your stage set so that it doesn't fall out.

    I haven't really run into a club that does not allow their dancers to wear garters, but if that is the case, I'm sure you are allowed to carry a purse or small bag in which you keep your money. If you are going to carry a small purse, you bring it on stage with you. Some stages will have a little hook on the wall where you can hang your purse and dress (once you take it off). If there is no hook, you can just place your purse on the floor in the center of the stage, up against the wall. If the stage is not against a wall, try to find a place where it is out of anyone's reach, but still not in your way when you dance. Watch what the other girls do to see what the best thing to do a particular club is.

    When someone tips you on stage, s/he can either place the tip on the stage or hand it to you (or if you're allowed to wear a garter, you can hold your garter away from your thigh so that the customer can slip the bill(s) inside). If s/he hands it to you, you can take it with your hand and put it on the stage. At the end of your set, you pick up all your tips and put them in your garter or purse.

    Hope that helps!

    You've got the right idea with how to do a nude stage set. I'm sure management will clarify before sending you up on stage for your audition though (as they can also clarify how to accept tips or any laws pertaining to pubic hair). If the club is nude then your thong will indeed have to come off, otherwise you'll just be topless. After all, the point of a nude club is to have nude girls!

    If you can, try to see what the other girls at that club wear to get a good idea for what to wear to your audition. At some clubs, a two-piece skirt set would be a perfectly acceptable outfit, while other clubs require dancers to wear dresses or gowns. I suppose if you can't find out what the norm is at this particular club ahead of time, a short dress is a good bet, although I am a fan of having a bra top as part of my outfit (so that you can slowly undress, rather than either being dressed completely or down to your g-string with no in-between), and not all dresses will look good with a bra top underneath. I guess I'm not being very helpful here...
    Could you possibly call the club before Thursday to ask what proper stage attire would be? If you feel silly doing that, you could always pretend to be someone else on the phone.

    DO NOT spend a ton of money on stripper clothes before you are sure that it is going to be right for you. You can find cheap, cute outfits online at places like discountstripper or snaz75.
    DO wear the correct shoes- preferably a platform heel with an ankle strap (so your shoe doesn't come flying off while you dance). Practice walking and dancing in your shoes before you go in so you're a little more comfortable. Do not wear a pair of Payless 2" heels.

    This is what I wore on my audition, and it's been a good-luck (i.e. good money) outfit ever since. I picked it up for around $20 online - discountstripper, I think. Keep in mind that this would not be acceptable at a gown club, however.

    You don't have to wear a skirt. I just prefer them b/c the make my ass look good. That Fredrick's outfit sounds perfect, with a g-string underneath. You can slowly and teasingly take off your top, then your bottoms (in a different song). Striptease dancing is all about moving slowly,so you'll have plenty of time so make sure you're boyshorts don't get tangled in your shoe. Take your time and carefully move the leg hole around and off your shoe, then do the same with the other leg. Watch youtube vids (there's hundreds of thousands of them) to get some ideas on how to gracefully remove clothing/ striptease dancing. Practice taking your clothes of with the shoes on at home before you go in. I'm sure you'll do great.

    In Atlanta you can't accept tips in a garter until you have the permit, you can collect the money with your hand. In ATL you need "break-away" panties, you can't step out of your underwear. Since you have a lot of tattoos, I wouldn't recommend the cheetah. They don't allow tattoos to show, all must be covered with makeup. I think the rest of ATL clubs will allow tattoos. Good luck, you'll do great!!!

    Also, please note that if you have any felony's on your record, you won't get approved for a permit in Atlanta. They do criminal background checks and anyone with a felony will be denied. If that's your case then a club outside of Atlanta. I think Mardi Gras doesn't require a permit but I could be wrong as I never worked there.

    I worked at Pink Pony North for five years ( 2003-2008 ).

    1. Yes, during your audition it is first song clothes, second topless, third nude. You must get allllll the way naked, thong off. The law says girls are supposed to have landing strips, but no one really abides by it. I would have a landing strip for your audition just to be sure but after that, it's whatever really.
    2. No floor work is allowed, that's right. Auditions may take money in their hand, or may collect it off the stage when your audition is done. Even if/when you are hired, there is no floor work allowed.
    3. I worked as I said, at Pink Pony, but I also worked at Follies sometimes. If you have questions about either of those clubs, you can PM me.

    ALSO: When I worked at PP, all costumes had to COVER YOUR BUTTCHEEKS. Make sure whatever you wear covers your butt. You can't walk around in a thong, or nude.

    ok so i got the job! start tomorrow and im soooo nervous! its just like everyone said i was about to puke before my audition but when it was over i was like oh ok no biggie, but now the thought of haveing to do it over and over and lapdances etc is crazy nerve racking. im excited but still unsure of what im doing. im ok with the being on stage and danceing and all that th problem im haveing is knowing when to go on stag and where. this club is like huge its got like fiften poles scattered and know they have names for them but i dont know what they are yet and i didnt hear the dj anounce them....i didnt really hear the dj say anything thats the problem i know they will give the girls like a heads up a song before they go on then announce you before you go on but i couldnt understand him at all so im scared hes gonna announce me and i wont kno......also my house mom kind of left it vague as to how the set works ( well besides the audition) she said first five dollars you can take your top off and second five you take your bottoms off...so does that mean if a guy hands me a ten i get naked right away? and then so how many songs is my set? she said my audition would be three but i swear i didnt even hear the song change so either i was just so nervous i didnt notice or it was a crazy long song so i jus decided to take stuff off...lol sorry i know im all over the place and maybe they ll explain everything better tomorrow when i start im just so nervous ill mess up a rule some how....so any advice for me on my first day would be appreciated! oh also im working dayshift tomorrow and she said it was from 11 -7 is that normal hours for day shift? i wanted to start out on day cause i have two kids and its easier if i wk while their in school/ daycare but if i have to wk till 7then drive the fourty mins home thats probably worse than just finding a sitter for the night.....do you think after a little while they ll let me leave earlier or is this like a big rule?.....thanks so much for all the help it really helped me with my audition and im looking forward to any advice for tomorrow

    I currently work at PP and it is different now. The girls do floor work and we don't have to cover our buttcheeks anymore. Lots of girls walk around wearing just a thong and bra. As long as we're not walking around completely nude it is okay. But some girls wear those fishnet outfits with nothing underneath.

    Wow! I'm really surprised. My old hustle buddy only retired from there a little over a year ago (Feb 2011) and she said everything was still pretty much the same.
