    Default Is my body ok enough to get hired?

    So I recently applied online to a club near by and I've never danced before. I haven't heard back yet but I'm feeling really nervous about my body. Like many women who dance, I'm a mom. Sadly due to medications and pregnancy issues I had gained a lot of weight and with that came more stretchmarks than the usual pregnancy package. I've lost the weight but I still have a somewhat doughy look to me and as you can see in the picture, many many MANY stretchmarks. Some of my girl friends who have danced have said that plenty of men will appreciate a woman with some meat to her but I feel like NOBODY enjoys stretchmarks. My skin is thick enough to take y'all's honest opinions on whether or not my body is right for the business(just please be somewhat kind about any criticisms)

    honestly it depends on what city you're in. it would definitely benefit you to tone up your midsection but the stretchmarks are really not a big deal and there are clubs that would hire you. if it would make you feel better you could use makeup to help cover them.


    usually if you're not hired on the spot you will not hear back :/ are there other clubs in your area you could try?

    Well I applied late last night online so I figured I'd give it a few days. There are a few near me(I'm about 45 minutes from Chicago)but this was just the first one that was close by that I decided to apply to on a whim. I figure getting on a pole would definitely help tone me out and doing some planks/core workouts

    yes, once you start work you'll likely tone up just from the job/hours alone. and idk if it's hard for you to find time/gas to get out there but clubs rarely check or respond to email apps, there's been a few threads on that lately. at best they'll call (or you should call and check up) and they'll just say to come audition in person since pictures can often not be totally accurate and they also need to see how you dance. you can't really get hired unless you go there in person. good luck!

    Thanks! Their site says to allow five days before calling to check in and that if they do respond it will be for an interview. Hubby has the car usually but I may try to swing in tonight after he gets off of work. What's best to wear when going in to ask about openings?

    well, do you really want to waste a trip just to ask if they are hiring? you should be prepared to audition so bring shoes and an outfit. but dress really sexy in nice, flattering clothes when you walk in. most clubs are always hiring and they will usually just ask you to audition on the spot. mondays are usually a good day

    That's what I meant. I don't really have any like real outfits at the moment but I have some cute bras and panties. Would they want me to strip or just dance? I have no idea how any of this works

    Oh and the place is apparently only topless in VIP so I guess they probably wouldn't ask me to strip during an audition

    is this an upscale club or dive? you should at least have the right shoes, but matching panties/bra is fine. if you really can't get proper heels you'll just have to wear what you have but some places won't allow you to work in normal heels. if it's more of a divey place they will usually let stuff slide.

    some places make you go on stage and dance for two songs, during which you'll have to strip. at the very least they'll just want to see your body in panties/bra and maybe look at your boobs

    I'm not quite sure if it's upscale or dive but I'm gonna guess more on the upscale side

    oh that's cool, if they make you do a stage set then you prob won't have to take your top off unless the manager asks you to.

    lol @ their lunch w/ a view.. boobie burgers. looks like they might have a decent day/lunch shift so if you're feeling nervous you could maybe try days first? usually easier for a newbie and easier to get hired. more slow paced and easier to learn the ropes that way

    The only problem with day shifts is that I'm currently a stay at home mom. Could always try Sat/Sun days and weekday evenings first since those are usually the slower times right?

    I know of that place, honestly Idk if they'd hire you,(they might) not based on how you look, they seem kinda picky to me. It's really hard to work there & there's high tip out. There's a review (Club s & Reviews section on the home page here) about them, couple years old but I think it's accurate.
    Anyway, maybe check out some of the lingerie clubs in Melrose & Stone Park, I'd try Carl's maybe.
    It's a regular bar, girls in lingerie give dances. Just to get started somewhere.
    Or maybe you could try waitress til you get in better shape.
    Please, don't take anything as negative I'm saying.
    Good luck

    Oh no the more advice the better! It was just that Heavenly is the closest to me other than BlackJacks and BlackJacks just seems from what I've seen to be much more of a dive. I'm actually not from Illinois but I live here now so I'm just not familiar with which clubs are good and which areas are safe

    Yes, I agree that maybe tightening up your midsection and also get a little bit of a tan and it will cover a lot of the imperfections in your skin. Also, I can not tell from the picture of you hair is short or up; but IME longer hair is always better; though I have worked with girls with Pixie cuts and even shaved heads; I think the general prefered look is Slutty Barbie and Friends (not necessarily blonde)

    It depends on the club. Maybe try day shifts -they tend to be less difficult to get, and then tone your lower abdomen and get to the nights. Also, high-rise panties/shorts are back in fashion, and it will put accent on your boobs instead of lower belly. High-rise and one piece teddies are good.

    Op is your hair green? It looks like it in the photo. You might want to switch to a natural color for hiring if that's the case. It's not that girls can't work with funky hair colors but it's another strike against you for hiring, and natural colors tend to be better received by clients.

    It is currently a blue green. Hubby and I were considering scoping out a club this weekend. Would it be better to dye it before ever going in or to leave it and mention that I'm willing to dye it back to natural? Also yea it's kinda short right now but it can be a little longer if I straighten it plus I could grab some extensions

    Go with the hair already done. Most strip club managers want to see what you are capable of looking like at the moment of hire, not down the road.

    I would dye it before you audition for sure. I wouldn't worry about extensions rn unless you have access to cheap but decent looking clip ins. Just go in with it straightened for now.
    You don't want to be spending a ton of money before you start making any.

    I figure I'll go ahead and do a couple warm washes to try and get as much of the teal out then dye it back to a natural color...maybe not MY natural color exactly but still something that could be :p

    I've seen much worse at dives. Mid tier will either reject you or confine you to day shift. Upscale clubs are a pipe dream for me even after I dropped 20 llbs.

    My tummy is similar to yours and I got hired on the spot. It's really dark so a lot of stretch marks won't be noticeable. I agree with others about toning the lower mid section but that is a difficult area to tone. I worked at a mid tier club.

    I applied to Heavenly Bodies in Chicago online and they want an interview. I know I have a cute face and know how to pose and dress to be the most flattering so hopefully I'll do alright. I figure toning up won't be a huge problem but the stretch marks were my main concern
