    Default Family

    Hi all new to this site but been stripping for 6 months. I have a sister and cousin that I told I started stripping but have kept it from the rest of my family. They have seen all the money that I have been make and have started asking about working with me. Does anyone else work at the same clubs as a family member? How has it been? Looking for any advice.

    I know two girls who claim to be cousins, they come to work together 80% of the time and they do decently. I never see them fight, and the take care of each other when one gets shitfaced.

    I've never worked with a family member or even a close friend, and I don't think I ever could - especially if I was introducing them to the industry. They'll expect help and attention and you'll miss out on sales trying to show them the ropes and fielding all their questions. If they don't make money, they'll get mad at you for not teaching them right or hiding secrets (especially since they know you're doing well now). If they really want to dance, take them to a different club for a visit so they can see what the job is actually like, give them a few tips, and let them do it on their own.

    Having worked with a very very close friend, I wouldn't reccomend it, at least not RIGHT away. By this I mean, if you feel comfortable with the responsibility that will come, introducing them to the industry, by all means, do the introduction, but try to get them started at another club that's not yours, and let them see if they like it/how they behave before you bring them to yours. A lot of things could go wrong if you bring them into your club and things don't work out. You could lose customers to them, they could break rules which may reflect on you badly, they could start drama, they could tell other girls/workers a bunch of shit about you if they say, got too drunk or something one night, or (and I hate to use this stereotypical example) they could get super into drugs/alcohol and your club could chew them up and spit them out a completely different, much shittier, person.

    This industry isn't for everyone. Make pretty sure these girls can handle it, as they're your close family, and trust me, you WILL feel bad if they get fucked up from working in the club and you were the one who introduced them to the environment. Even though it would be their own fault for fucking up. I speak from experience. This friend of mine got really into coke and binge drinking pretty soon after she started and soon she didn't give much of a shit about anything else. It's one of the saddest things you can go through to watch that happen to someone you really care about and then feel partially responsible for it. I doubt I'll ever introduce someone to the clubs again.

    ^A good friend of mine "recruited" her friend and in her words, she “created a monster”. Whether it's a good idea or not depends on the person. This girl was immature, impressionable, got "caught up in the lifestyle" and made some bad choices (both at work and in her personal life), which left my friend feeling responsible. They ended up having a falling out.

    If your relatives decide to audition-they can always work a shift and see if it's for them. If it isn't, this may change their opinion of you. So be prepared for that (hopefully it just gives them an understanding of your job though).

    Other than that-I've worked with twins and three blonde bombshell sisters before. They all sold a lot of double (or tripple) dances and the guys seemed to LOVE the fact that they were "hot sisters" . But, I don't know how working together effected their relationship

    I knew 2 sisters who worked together (and lived together) they shared an incredibly close relationship; also were very close to their mother. i think thats why they never seemed to have any issues working together; because they had a healthy relationship to start from.

    I couldn't do it, I would rip balls off any man who vaguely insulted/hurt/led astray a family member.... right off.

    I've worked with a mother/ daughter but they played off being sisters they did rooms and shared customers together. I've worked with cousin/cousins and sister duos I haven't seen it go south but I guess it depends on your relationship with said family member and your level of trust with them. Like others have said it can backfire at any moment and they can run off with your potential money and customers so you'd have to trust that they aren't going to turn on you.... Family can get nasty so you'd have to be careful and always have the ball in your court. That being said if my sister ever decided to strip( funny thought) I'd totally work with her and teach her but were two total opposites but we get along great.

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to talk to them tonight and feel them out. I'm very close to both so think we could work very well together. If our talk gose well tonight I'm going to bring them to work on Thursday so they see what it's like. I work in RI so there is a lot of "extra" work that goes on and I don't think they know that. Wish me luck lol.

    I could never work with my sister, as much as I love dancing, I'd want to smash a bottle over the head of any nasty guy that went near my little sis lol!

    As for cousin, I helped one of my best friends in college get into working at my club, and it was a really bad idea. She liked to drink a lot and spend a lot of time BSing, and she'd be in a pissy mood every time I made money and she didn't. She wanted me to hang out and spend the night partying with her and would get annoyed that I was there to work. She'd expect me to help her with custies and hand-hold her, and we rode together in my car so if I wasn't going to work, she couldn't either and that became an issue too. The worst part was that she was so used to calling me by my real name that she'd constantly forget to call me by my stage name, and custies who got to know both of us would casually ask about me and of course her "story" for me was the real one and didn't match up to my fake stripper persona details. I worked there for a year before she came along and within a week most of the place knew my real name and hometown etc, thanks to her drunkenly forgetting my stage persona. Never again!

    The other thing that occurred to me is that - although completely unfair - when your family finds out (I saw when and not if, because with more than one family member dancing close to each other, it's only a matter of time before someone is spotted or says something they shouldn't), they may well blame you for corrupting the second person. I'm not sure how liberal your family is, but there's been so many stories of here of girls' families having completely unreasonable reactions.

    i know 2 sisters who work together, and they seem to do it just fine..idk if i would want to strip with my sister, but when she comes up we are planning on making fetish clips together ( NOTHING sexual, just to clarify, just weird stuff like eating etc..)
    i would be very protective of my lil sis if i danced with her. i've encouraged her to dance since she's already in the industry but i would be looking out for her too much and end up losing money. RI does come with a ton of contact like you said, definitely make them well aware that its not the 3 foot away air dance bikini bar type situation lol.

I explained to them what extras are and that its up to them if they want to get into that. We are going shopping tonight for outfits and shoes. Time to turn them from college girls into strippers. Lol ill let everyone know how it goes.
