    Lightbulb How many strippers would get a tarot card reading?

    A thought crossed my mind, totally random. I have been a stripper before and I have been here quite awhile.

    That being said I also have been doing Tarot Card Readings since 1999. I have an extensive collection of 16 different Tarot Decks to choose from, etc. and in my Tarot Card Reading career--I have advised on over 25+ different Topics.

    But something crossed my mind....

    If I were to go to a strip club and offer to give Tarot Card Readings to THE STRIPPERS ONLY (and ONLY in the back room, not where the customers are, etc.), would the strippers be willing to pay for a Reading? (I charge $20 cash for each 10 card Tarot Reading)

    I know its completely off topic here, but would I be able to do that? I would offer up to 20% of the gross sales to the strip club.

    Would it be doable? Why or Why Not?

    I think one problem with this is that it would require girls to spend more time in the dressing room. Lots of girls aren't going to want to use their time at work for this, and management may not be thrilled with the idea of girls spending more time in the back and less time making them money.

    ^ exactly. dressing rooms can be very busy, noisy, crowded, smelly places as i'm sure you know. i don't want to spend anymore time in the dressing room than i absolutely have to, and i don't think you'd have enough quiet or room to do them. i love tarot cards, but i wouldn't want to have them read in a dressing room with people yelling and bumping into me when i could be out making money. i'd choose something else that directly applies to stripping and making the girls more money

    Yeah, I was just coming here to suggest this. At my club we have ads for local businesses and services, if you could put somethint like that up or some business cards you might get some bites.

    I've also seen readings listed on ebay, and some sex texting services I've applied for have tarot reading positions as well.

    Are you currently a dancer? I think it's one thing to offer this service as a familiar face, especially on a slower shift, but entirely another to show up to a club unknown and ask the dancers to give YOU money for something. That's just totally flipping how a strip club works and I don't see it going well if there are any other clients in the club. I also don't see management being into it since it'll be taking the girls off the floor, and realistically they won't be making much off you anyway.

    I really hate it when people show up in the dressing room taking up space and making noise just to try to make money off of us. The dressing room is for getting ready for work/taking a quick break from work. Please don't invade our space.

    When you really boil it down I see two scenarios here:

    A) you are trying to get girls to get readings when the club is busy & there is $$ to be made for, y'know, bills & stuff. You would pretty much be requiring them to take time out from earning their living to subsidize yours.

    B) you are trying to get girls to get readings when the club is dead & they would be spending $$ they don't have on you, a portion of which also goes to the club, who is also likely going to take a portion of all that nice $$ they didn't make at the end of the nite.

    Sm1 showing up w/ the intent of capitalising on me this way would, frankly, piss me off & would be getting no business from me either way.

    Would you go into any other business and try this?

    Would you go into a restaurant and sit in the employee break room and try to sell tarot readings? If that's acceptable to you then I guess this is as well. It wouldn't be acceptable to me.

    ^I've only seen posters/flyers for services that are actually somehow relevant to strippers, like hair extensions or late-night babysitting.

    Not me. I know how to "predict" the future via many methods (coffee, shells, Spanish playing cards, tarot, dream interpretation, etc.) But I'm also very skeptic. It's fun and all, but that's it. I had thought of making a living doing so...

    I'd be down for it IF it were a fellow dancer or a house mom doing it for free while I'm taking a break. Maybe $5-10 if she's one of the very rare girls I built a real bond with. I just wouldn't have time for it unless it were a slow night and/or I'd already made my goal take home.

    If you're not a dancer or house mom, GTFO. I mean that literally. Just get the fuck out of my dressing room. As I've gotten older and more experienced, I've begun to feel this way even with staff unless they are only poking their head in for 30 seconds max for an explicitly professional reason. If I'm in a good mood, I might smile and say "I'm busy right now." If I'm in an average mood, I'll ignore your existence. If I'm in a bad mood, I just might voice how unwelcome you are. This is my space where I am supposed to be able to get dressed/undressed, freshen up, have a smoke when I'm angry, and (hopefully) stuff my face WITHOUT being harassed.

    My Advice: Ask to hand out cards or put up a flyer.
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    Yea. Same here, except w/astrology my specialty, somewhat. I can say myself, as getting readings & associating w/a former psychic, that it has drawn a LOT of negativity into my life.

    Yeah. That stuff can draw in some negativity. Even if the club was cool with it, I still say bad idea. I would hate it if my club allowed that. Fuck, I'd be out.

    No no no!

    Strippers don't need more negative energy around.

    Do it in your own home.

    Well, then you'd draw negativity there

    From a business perspective, I can't see the owner finding 20% of tarot reading gross revenue to be appealing. As shanna dior noted, your activity keeps dancers off the floor where the owner can be making money, while at the same time annoying other dancers with sales pitches. I don't see high demand in this environment. If you really want to pursue tarot readings for profit, you probably have to find another environment, maybe like an anime expo or science fiction event. I can see that kind of crowd being interested, but a table will cost you $200 bucks as your initial investment. Good luck.

    It would be a waste of your time. Too many people already have their hands out looking for stripper cash. If I want a reading, I'll get one online via skype or similar service.
