    Height is definitely not a big deal...that's what stripper shoes are for. I'm 5'5" in real life, but I'm nearly six feet tall at work with my shoes on. And even barefoot, I tower over some of the girls I work with.

    I personally always do my hair and makeup at home before I go to work. I find it's easier than lugging around all my stuff with me; plus, I only use very nice cosmetics and tools and I don't want anything getting used without my permission or, worse, getting stolen. It takes me between thirty and forty-five minutes to do my makeup, depending on what I'm wearing. My hair takes ages, so if I'm washing it, I do it early in the afternoon, and then I have hours to straighten or curl it depending on what look I'm going for. I don't wash it every day I work (nor should you, as that's super bad for your hair), so I put cornstarch in it before work on days I don't wash it, which gives it lots of volume and makes the style last longer. I'm blonde, though, so if you aren't, I'd recommend a dry shampoo rather than using cornstarch, as it would show up pretty badly.

    Height is definitely not an issue, with your heels you'll be just fine. I'm 5"3 but with my heels I'm 5"9 and I've been taller than some custies lol. I always do my hair and make-up at home too, I'm more comfy in my own environment where I can listen to music etc, and it helps avoid the drama of the dressing room.

    I do my hair and makeup at home before i come to work, because as soon as I walk into the club I wanna look hot/on top of my game to the customers and other dancers who see me. Plus it minimizes the amount of time I have to be around the girls sitting in the dressing room complaining about their shitty boyfriends.

    Thanks to your response, but its ok for u i think coz u have ur own car... and i only use public transport ( bus and train ), as i am just starting and see what london can offer.... im also worried a little bit let say, i got hired and i will start working in the club, going back to my accommodation makes me worry if its safe to walk or get public transport for me that late. Im new in london and to be honest i dont know the street or the places, i also just stay in cheap hotel as i dont have any friends or family there in london... its really just a try if its good money in london.

    If you don't want to get there by bus/train all dolled up, do your hair and most of your make-up and then add the "stripperish" things like false lashes or bright eyeshadow once you get to the club. For leaving the club to go home, unless it's from dayshift and still light out, get a cab. If it's a long ride and really expensive, you could get a cab to a bus stop 10 mins away or such, but always leave in a cab. If you leave on foot for the bus stop, someone could easily follow you and that's just not safe. Make sure you know when the next bus/train is coming and leave just before it too, you don't want to be standing alone for ages with a lot of cash on you. And take your make-up off before you leave. Once you've worked somewhere for a few weeks, you might find that you make some friends and someone will give you a ride home for some gas money. When I started I had to cab it to the train station to go home, but I started getting rides off girls I was close to, for much cheaper than my cab fare. And then when I got my car with my dancing money, I paid my dues and gave other girls rides when they needed it.

    I go to work all dolled up and it's never been an issue. I travel an hour and a half on public transport each way... I don't think you'll attract too much attention, if you travel in 'plain clothes'. I usually make some effort to cover up.

    I do however remove my make up before I leave. I get public transport all the way home as well, although I really think Miss McKenna has a great solution if you don't feel safe doing so.

    I always do my hair and makeup at home. 'Avoid the dressing room', is the first commandment of stripping.

    Depends on how much time I have. If I have time I do it at home. If not I try to do as little as I can in the DR.

    I do my hair and make up 99% of the time but I do touch up a couple times in the locker room.

    The dressing room at my club isnt exactly "bitch central" but they can say things or have discussions which I know personally have distracted me from the fact that I'm there to make money, and you do need to feel good about yourself. I get ready at home, as I can be in private and get myself 'In the zone' of feeling hot and ready to get paid. Its so important to be in the right frame of mind. Getting ready next to a girl you find pretty can make (well me anyways) a bit intimidated..... When I get to work, I be polite and say hi but avoid conversations, I dont want to risk somehow being put out of my mood/zone. And Im there to make money, not friends (ps im not a bitch in anyways, I just know why Im there). So many times I see girls ignore customers because they r having a conversation. Its always ok though to go for breaks and touch up in the dressing room, rarely there will be many girls about then

    Depends on the day and the club I have worked for some clubs where tip out was like ten bucks if you showed up at a certain time, So i just woke up and went and got dressed there because they had no custies for about an hour and a half if you got there at that time. On nights where it was going to be busy I did my hair and makeup at home or in my car so I could get straight on floor.

    At first I would definitely reccomend getting ready at home, if you need to audition you need to get ready at home anyways, because you need to be hot walking in the front door. Once you get adjusted after a few weeks though, maybe you'll feel comfortable enough to just get ready at work, it's really up to you. You can get away taking transit but it's not the safest way, know that and BE VIGILANT. No headphones, no flashy clothes/bags, no counting your money at the bus stop, etc. Cabs really are safer, but I take transit home after work all the time, so I can't say it can't be done safely, just use your common sense and be careful if you do it.
