    The second time was harder than the first.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    My boss at a spaghetti restaurant grabbed my bottom one night after closing and told me it was time to put out or get out. I had already been thinking about stripping. I figured, it was time to get out. Turns out, I was right. Not once while I was stripping was I told my job depended on me doing sexual favors for the boss. A low standard to be sure, but much better than the spaghetti place.

    stripping is a job non the less and I mean I havent done it yet but to me it sounds like fun. I like being naked anyways....so maybe it will come natural. did it come natural to any of you?

    Not sure, exactly. Maybe because the very first time, I had no idea what I was really getting myself into. It was a thought with no experience behind it - something that seemed like a far-off dream to accomplish... But going back after quitting for awhile was more real. I knew I would be happier having the money and being in a more independent atmosphere, but I also knew it was going to come with grabby/rude customers, bitchy girls, bad/slow nights... I was starting somewhere new, so I would have to go through that "newbie" acceptance process again. And the fear of rejection had never really gone away. I had already conquered it once with my first club, but I had to go through it all again - and I had gained weight after not dancing for awhile. I had to get myself into a pretty shitty financial situation to forget about my insecurities and go through the nerve-wracking process again.

    Also, I didn't really tell anyone the first time I was thinking about stripping. I told them after I had already gotten the job. Then when I quit for awhile, it seemed to make some people open up about their true feelings toward me being a stripper - like they thought I was done for good and they could talk shit now cuz I had "grown up and moved on" or something. Having to tell people I was going back and knowing that they were judging me for wanting to return to something that they wouldn't even do once, let alone go back to once they were out of it, made me doubt myself.

    When I got on stage for the first time I was shaking so hard I was convinced everyone could see it, which made me more nervous and led to more shaking, and so on. But at the end of the first song I took my top off, and went from shaking like a leaf, to "wooohooooo this is awesoooooooome!!!" God knows what came over me, but yeah, in the end it came naturally.

    And don't stress about the little things - there isn't a stripper in the world with a perfect body, and even if there was guys wouldn't want it because they get intimidated enough already by us "normal" strippers.... no-ones expecting you to be a Playboy bunny.

    Oh, and I've literally fallen on my face before while walking around the floor, and my roommate fell on stage and hit her head off the bottom of the pole. When I gave my first lapdance, I accidentally knee'd the guy in the face and he paid me with one hand while clutching his nose with the other. There's nothing dumb you could do that hasn't already been done a million times lol!!

    Default Re: when did you know it was time to audition?

    Started thinking about it seriously when my boss whipped out his dick and asked me what I thought about it, then told me he how sexy I was. I tried to leave but couldn't because my boyfriend was picking me up and I didn't have the key to the store. So I waited by the door. I was 17. I really should have sued but I didn't want to tell my parents because they would have to get involved obviously, and would probably blame me or would have been traumatized themselves.

    What made me actually do it was the need for money and the flexibility. You just have to FORCE yourself to go in and do it. Go in on like a Monday or a Tuesday. Or a dayshift if you have to.

    Being naked is the easiest bit, trust me. It's usually one of the biggest anxieties on your first night, but then you actually do your first lapdance then your first nude stage and realise that no one really cares or even looks at you. THe few that do are just in their happy place and not really thinking, 'OMG, that girl is naked, and she's someone's sister/neighbour/classmate.' More like, 'Mmm boobies... Might get a dance with her later... Ooh, my beer's here...'

    The toughest bit is probably staying positive after getting rejected for hours on end. Seeing guys who claimed to be leaving or broke going for dances with other girls. Getting out of a rut. Approaching people cold when you just want to hide in the corner. Answering "What do I reeeeeeally get? What's in it for me? What's your real name? Why don't you just meet me later for free?" questions as carefully as possible, then getting rejected anyway. I personally don't mind dirty talk, but I know girls who have danced for years who still feel violated by guys talking about all the things they want to do to them. Depending on the club, management or other girls giving you a hard time. It is a sales job, and can be quite competitive.

    Not trying to scare you, but just be prepared for all that.

    I had negative $1000 in my bank account that kept accumulating overdraft fees and I only made $9/hr at my job and knew I could never ever ever get back to positive money on my own. A few days later, my best friend said she was looking for a job, drove past the club, and decided to just go in and try dancing. So she had auditioned and worked one shift and in just that time, she made a couple hundred bucks. I COULDN'T believe it, lol it wasn't even really that much money by stripper standards, but I was so amazed that she could make that much. I decided, if she can do it, so can I! So I bought a pair of heels and an outfit and auditioned on a Tuesday afternoon! I was nervous, but as soon as I got on the stage, I was like "WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG TO DO THIS." No one is going to laugh at you or make fun of you, we all started somewhere just go do it! ALso, no one knows what a lap dance is when they first start either, so don't let that hold you back, you'll figure it out after a couple tries, and no guy is going to make fun of you....he's gonna PAY you!

    ^ Look, some guys are going to make fun of you- but seriously, they are the ones who pay to get an attractive girls attention. If someone is seriously rude then the bouncers will get rid of them (and the guys are aware of that).

    If you want to do it just do it, stop procrastinating. I am not ragging on you here but if I've heard your Question once I've read it a thousand times (almost as much as I've heard maybe later). Go to the Newbie section, read all the threads in the vein of 'When should I audition/Am I too flat/skinny/big to strip' etc. and apply it to you because the advice will be exactly the same as on here. Just do it.

    If you haven't done by the end of the month then you prob never will. (thats meant to be motivating- Do or do not/shit or get off the pot)

    When I asked my mother what would happen if I didn't save enough $$ for uni tuition in the fall (I was having a hard time finding a summer job at that time) and she just answered "Well, I guess you're not going back then." Faced with the choice of being a uni dropout unable to pursue my career of choice or "trying out" being a stripper and using it to finish paying for uni if I liked it...that lit a fire under my ass to get me into the club!

    When my stripper flatmate was telling how much she was making, then I lost my office job, I went with her to check out clubs then bought the shoes walked around in them at home for 3 weeks, listened to her money storys then bit the bullet then never looked back!
