    Default confidence/advice? (pics of my bod)

    I failed one audition (manager told me to lose weight and come back) and I guess it shook my confidence. Plus, I've never seen a stripper who has a body quite like mine. All my friends say I'm a knockout and I'll make bank, but I want some input on my actual body from professionals. Am I too pear shaped to be a dancer? My dimensions are 32-26-37 and I'm 5'6".

    The sock on my arm is to cover a tattoo, and sorry about the pubes. I have sensitive skin and it's winter here. They'll be gone before my next audition!

    Your bodyshape is not dissimilar to mine aside from I don't have a booty
    lol.
    Don't let one club knock your confidence. Try one that's not so strict.
    I don't mean this in a way to say 'Don't go for clubs you're not good enough for' , I mean, if you try a club that is appreciative of you how you look now, you'll likely tone up once you begin working, you'll gain confidence, and can then go back to the clubs you really want to work in.

    Thank you! I have NEVER had body image issues, never been remotely interested in losing weight or getting implants, never had trouble getting laid, etc. I guess I'm just being a baby about dealing with rejection, bc on a physical basis I'm not used to it. I appreciate the support...I will try again!

    Don't let one asshole manager shake your confidence. Certain clubs only hire sticks with unfortunate faces, others-the only ones I was willing to work at-hired attractive girls. Figure out which those are in your area and go there, don't even subject yourself to a narrow-minded one where only looking thin matters-and bad boob jobs seem to run rampant at these places. Just so you know, there's only one club in my area that wouldn't jump at the chance to hire you and last time I drove by there were three cars in the parking lot at 1:00 AM on a Saturday.

    I don't know where you are, but if you haven't seen strippers who look like you, then you should maybe consider factors other than your weight. I'm in the south, so I usually stick out because, like you, I am fair-skinned with dark hair and a few tattoos. When I began stripping, I was quite thin and had a small chest. I didn't have issues getting hired. Eventually, I had some health issues that made me gain weight, mostly where you hold weight too. I felt out of proportion and wanted to get my boobs done anyway, so I did and had a lot of success with looking "curvier" when before I was just small-chested with bigger hips/butt.

    Getting my boobs done helped me because I already had physical characteristics that made me look "alternative." You have them too, and maybe you're not in a good area for it, or maybe it wasn't the right club. From my experience, managers are more likely to hire a blonde girl with a "fake" look even if she is not particularly pretty or in shape than they are to hire comparable looking pale girls with dark hair. They just look more like "typical" strippers, and even though I was never rejected from clubs for my look, some managers did label me as an alternative girl. I wanted to keep my hair dark and my skin pale, and I am too lazy to cover up my tattoos. Doing my boobs and dressing in brighter colors was enough to make managers not give me shit about not tanning and having ink. I also do my makeup very well and dress nicely to apply/interview.

    My point is that if you have too many characteristics that managers don't often approve of, then you can run into issues. I'm not saying go drop several thousand on a boob job, but if you continue to not have any luck in your area, you might want to consider trying to push your appearance more towards the "typical" look. This could be by losing weight, tanning, covering up your tattoo, or lightening your hair/wearing a longer and lighter wig. Some girls can really rock the alternative look. I used to work with one girl with a pixie cut who wore a choker with chains going to her wrists, and she did well, but she couldn't get hired at the nicer clubs. IMO, it's just too much work, and being that pale girl with the big boobs has been much easier for me. If you lost weight, I think you could be the petite fair-skinned girl with nice natural breasts.

    overweight? i don't think so, at all!! my body is mostly just very thin, child-like or when i gain weight, pear shaped like you. i've seen plenty of strippers with pear shapes, there is no shape that is wrong for stripping as long as you are healthy,fit and TONED. men like love all kinds. screw that manager, they could be having a bad day and turn you down. did you go in with full makeup/hair/nicely dressed? good attitude?

    You look good IMO. Do some squats and lunges for your butt if you want.

    I think your bod looks good overall - I have a similar body, I am skinny due to my thyroid. I think you could pretty much get hired, if they're picky just tone a bit, & good advice given so far.

    You would probably look 5lbs thinner if you wore booty shorts and used some self tanner. I have a similar body to yours and this trick has worked for me in the past.

    ^ She speaks the truth! Also, stripper shoes... take my body from a 6.5 to an 8.5 in about... 8.5 seconds.

    Either booty shorts or thongs with wider straps. Those thongs are flattering on .00000001% of the stripper population, especially the way they dig into your sides.

    DEFINITELY agreed. those kinds of thongs also date you, makes a dancer look much older..those went out in the 90s and should never come back lol. so unflattering! makes the ass look flat and droopy. the top of your thong should come to the top of your crack or a tiny bit below, and that makes your bum look round and juicy! also coming way down in the front is more flattering imo

    I work at an upscale club and there are girls with your exact figure working there and making money. From the photos, I think that you could definitely get hired at a dive club/less upscale club. It all really depends on the manager you saw on the day, what the club is looking for and your area i.e. some clubs only hire play boy bunnies, while others have a more diverse range of girls.

    How did you "stripperfy" yourself for the interview? Because that can make a big difference !

    In the short term, my advice would be to get a spray tan (or use a wash off tan like Sally Hasen for the audition) and make sure your hair and make up is more over the top than what you would wear in every day life. Style your hair and do your make up as if were going out on the town (if you feel like you are wearing too much make up, you'll walk into the club and probably feel like you aren't wearing enough). Wear something that shows off your assets and figure, you don't have to look tacky or "slutty" for the interview though i.e. a well fitted dress or tight jeans and a low cut top and heels would be fine if they show off your figure. Also check out the clubs in your area to see what kind of girls they hire and where you might be able to get a job more easily.

    In the long run, you don't nessicarily need to loose weight but it doesn't hurt to tone up. Eat clean, up your cardio and do some toning exercises-you'll see results . Our body is a big part of our business, so being at your personal best helps to lift your confidence (increased confidence equals a better hustle, which equals more money ).

    I have no ass and no amount of squats or even the six years of ice hockey that I played could ever give me an ass. So I am so. Jealous. Of you. You look perfect to me. I'd trade bodies with you in a heartbeat!

    If you can, try auditioning at a place where butts are especially eroticized.

    You all are amazing!!! Thank you so much for the replies, this is extremely helpful. My audition was at the most upscale club in my area, so I'm just going to keep working my way down. Hopefully at the next one I will have no issues!

    Unfortunately if you plan on working in this business you will face rejection, whether it's in hiring or customers or whatever. It stinks but it's how it is. Yes you can get hired in many clubs but I would work in the mid section too because experience has shown me many managers are picky in that area.

    I think your body looks great, especially for never had danced before. You will tone up lean out soon after also. What state are you in? Maybe some girls on here could tell you where you should try. You should start in a less intimidating environment just to get your feet wet.

    A few things...

    Get a pair of undies that fit. For that style of thong, you are wearing it way too high in the front. The straps aren't doing you any favors either. It's not your fault, it's just a bad cut on the underwear. The straps of the thong seem to dig into your hips a bit... maybe consider a lace-top thong that is opaque on the crotch, it will be less pinch-y.

    I agree with folks that mentioned self-tanning spray/cream/whatever. It will make you look more slender and strip clubs like the tan look for some reason.

    The third, and most important, point is going to sound annoying... but here we go.....

    POSTURE! Your body is fine... but you need to stand up straight, suck in the tummy, pop your butt, and throw your shoulders back whilst keeping your neck up. Are you wearing heels in those photos? Try practicing your posture with heels... an elevated heel does half of the work for you and gives you a sexy S-curve in the torso. Your job will be to keep the neck long, your chin up, and your abs in. Make that side curve happen. Channel your inner Jessica Rabbit...

    You look beautiful baby! Go audition at another club...the longer you're in the industry you'll see ssooooo many body types you'll look back on your doubt & laugh. In my experience high end clubs are more into the 'fake' look (boobs, butts, lips, hair etc etc etc) Personally I don't feel sexy like that, so it's mutually not a good fit. I remember going to one high end club with a dancer friend (that had the same look as me) The manager came out and said, "Nope. You two are not what we're looking for." Yeah rejection sucks. I said, "Look- we are nice girls, were experienced, we don't have any tattoos or do drugs. Just tet us go dress out & audition." he shrugged, let us audition and ended up hiring both of us. I quit 2 weeks later because of the club dynamics that just weren't to my taste. What I'm saying is- there are sooo many different options out there! Don't let one club represent all of them. Based on the sound of your attitude, your motivation & your looks you'd make a great fit somewhere.

    ^ I agree to this! I've been turned away from clubs lately for unknown reasons. Probably bc I haven't went in wearing the "proper sexy talk to the manager attire" . I am heavily tattooed & even though they are tasteful , the places I've gone to either don't have those type of girls or their "alt girl" look is filled up. I dunno, it's def fucked with my self confidence ALOT in the last couple of months I've been traveling. I gained weight during my 1 yr hiatus last yr & so that didn't help me but I've managed to drop weight since my break-up which has helped my self confidence some. I also have been turned away on Sat nights & since it is season where I am currently, that may play a part in the whole "we have too many girls" excuse. My make-up & hair is always done when I go in to speak to a manager but I've only had luck at this little dive bar I'm now working at until I can save enough $$ to figure out my next destination without screwing myself by not getting hired. I think you're body looks great the way it is!!! Like Sophia said though ^ change the thong & try the self tanner. I HATE tans bc of my pale skin BUT I'm willing to sell out just to get hired at these places then I'll ditch it once I get hired Good luck babes!!! <3 Btw where in TX are you trying to work? You can PM me if you like, I use to work there a few yrs ago & didn't have issues getting hired, maybe I can point you out to a club I worked in
