^ this is a good point.
I do think if a lady chooses to promote herself as a stripper on social media to build her brand then she would have to be pretty certain she’s not going back to vanilla employment and can maintain herself as an entrepreneur.

No only like 2 other girls at my club even use social media. We have a lot that brag about not being online at all. lol
I think Crazy Girls Hollywood is one of those clubs. I saw their site and they want you to fill out a form including your instagram profile if you want to dance there. They even call themselves a "nightclub".
One of the clubs I've worked at recently made a rule that ONLY trap/hip hop music must be played after 7pm. If you're a rock/metal girl or prefer dancing to something toned down & sensual, then get used to it or work dayshift (dayshifts are pretty good at this club so it's not a big deal anyways). They're doing the whole nightclub vibe thing but at least they don't require us to have IG and promote, and hopefully they never.





^ This is why I hate HATE social media these days. It's fucking up everything. Before I quit dancing they were literally almost forcing us to play that hip hop crap & I rebelled by wearing my earbuds on stage with my pandora playing dancing to that instead LOL I raised alot of eyebrows & tips by telling them what i was doing when they asked me.
Dancing in LA has gone down the shitter IMO, glad I'm done!

This is where having worked as a go-go dancer previously helped me a lot, insofar as being dynamic with what styles of music I can dance to. I’m certainly not a fan of EDM, hip hop, etc. (in case anyone hasn’t figured that out from my posts in the “what are you listening to right now” topic), but I’m adaptive, and my own music taste doesn’t really work at the club.
I imagine anyone who followed me on Instagram would be mighty bored… the only two photos of me on there… one is the one from the CPR class where I’m wearing the face from the resuscitation doll over my own while holding a large knife in one hand and an infant resuscitations doll upside down by the leg in the other (and I doubt the club would want customers seeing that one) and the other was a video a coworker shot of me as I was using a plasma cutter, so no T&A in that one, plus I was wearing a welding helmet.

I think it's also a forced invasion of your privacy by making dancers have social media. Whatever happened to the days of leaving your job at the door?Club owners need to start paying for marketing instead of forcing it upon the dancers to expose themselves any further for free.

Some clubs I have called up not that long ago seem to only hire girls off of facebook which I am like the fuck is this shit?? LOL. I understand doing an audition or texting photos/emailing photos whatever, but social media should stay out of it.



Regarding forced invasion of privacy comment: How this is a forced invasion of privacy.
I think you are absolutely right, no doubt about that. Perhaps that will be the next issue that dancers start suing over.
Some of the urban clubs encourage photography, I get that but in most, non-urban clubs, I'd guess that almost all the dancers would be horrified.
Look over your contract. There may even be a privacy clause in there, from which you can potentially argue that they are breaching their own stupid contract by forcing you to take photos.
Anyhow, regardless of whatever transgression this would fall under, no one would care if some drunk idiot feels entitled to take a photo or video of some stripper to jerk off to later. We're all prostitutes, NO HUMAN INVOLVED, type of situation in this, which is unfortunate.
I feel very strongly about customers infringing on our privacy in this way. Just in the past month alone, I've witnessed so many customers snap photos and videos of other dancers. I would catch all of them and report them but most of those videos/photos can be retrieved, sometimes the customer refuses to erase the videos when confronted by management, etc. It saddens me that there I can't really change this, the complete and utter lack of respect by the customers and strip club's negligence to protect us. There is really only so much that I can do, other than work at a place that doesn't allow this or exit the industry completely.
It's not bad at my club because they aren't allowed to take pictures/videos but doesn't mean they don't try! Just yesterday a girl at the tip rail NOT tipping started recording me, like the GALL!!! I grabbed her phone so fast and called over a bouncer who OF COURSE didn't see her taking video like they are useless. We have a very successful IG page but it's because we have a marketing team. They don't expect US to market them.



How much will it cost you to get one decent customer from IG??
400 posts? 10,000 minutes of your time chatting with them and trying to persuade guys to come in? Even a single photo or video that reveals who you are to your friends or family?
Idk about you guys, but of my best customers, NONE of them use IG, and those who use Facebook wouldn’t interact with our clubs’ pages because Facebook is connected to their friends and family. My club recently had a special event party and I talked to zero customers who knew it was happening—the only way the event was promoted was on social media.
IG stripper pics and videos are not drawing in customers, it’s just soft porn for cheap/broke men.
