    Default Here Goes Nothing!

    Okee, wow, um this is gonna be long but I have a million questions and yes I have done tons of research so please don't spank my arse and tell me to go read whatever. Cuz I'll just ask fore more.

    I am so super broke, I've done work for a "barely legal" web site when I lived in a bigger city and had a blast! No one else involved in the pics, just little old me. So after getting laid off from my very well paid "cashier assistant" gig I'm looking for that kind of money and then some again. I've got a horse, need some money for school, would like to be able to put some money down on a truck and trailer so I can show said horse. Oh yeah, and I just found out my college fund was a big lie, so I gotta find some money for school. Forestry degrees ain't cheap!

    Anymewho, first of all, me. I'm 5'5" 135lbs, 36/B-C, 28" waist, 36/38ish in the hips, basically your typical set of curves. I've got a little "squish" but mostly muscle tone from working my arse off on a dude ranch. I've got short hair right now, long doesn't flatter me. I just turned 21 and not a soul believes it, I look super young and have capitalized on that. I am pierced, small little purple labret, old ladies think it's cute. My nips are pierced with barbells, much prettier than rings I think, plus I have this one nip that runs away (turns inside) if touched so the piercings make them perky 24/7. I have my hood pierced, might redo my navel, and have 2g ears but you'd never know with the jewelry I wear. My boobs kinda but me, but then again I'm the trpical super critical girl. They aren't all uber perky, I think my body really planned on them getting much bigger. They aren't straight offa Discovery channel, but you get the idea. Anyway, to sum all that up, are there girls like me working at your average local club, or am I gonna make a fool outta myself just walking in?

    Auditions or "No Experience Necessary?"

    There are two clubs in town, one I called a long while back and really didn't like their attitude. The other is new, in a smaller nearby town and hard pressed for girls. I really have only been to a strip club once. That was a miserable experience. The girls, in San Francisco no less, glared at me and made me wanna die. Bummer for them, all I had on me was $20s. Needless to say I spent the whole time studying my shoes. So I have no clue what to do, basically. I would love to go observe but my money is kinda precious right now and I'd feel like a loser. How does a girl with zero experience audition? I don't wanna make a dork outta myself with some cheezy stereotypical ideas the media has ingrained in me. I'm a quick learner, I taught my friend's "I'm a Slave 4U" moves the third time I saw the video! I took dance classes all my life so I can move decently, but I've also been a raver for years and whenever I try to dance, I look like a silly little raver. =)

    Gotta Get Dressed to Get Naked

    Another problem is what in gawds name do I wear to start out? I just sold all my good Lip Service vinyl, and can't really afford anything until I make some tips. I have awesome 4" open toed mary janes from London Underground, will those get me by? Also, I have some super cute cutoff shorts and a pink gingham print tie back halter that looks sooo country cutie. *laughs* I even have chaps! It is kinda rural here! Is it reasonably commonplace for other girls to share with the innocent newbie?

    Phat Beats?

    In general can you pick your own music? What kind of stuff works well, especially for newbies? I was thinking LowFi Allstars "Battleflag" would be lotsa fun. *laughs* Of course I also would have a blast with The Cure "Lovecats" so you gotta watch out with goofy bastards like me.

    Lap/Table/Private/yadidda yadidda

    I don't think any of the clubs here allow any sort of touching, it's pretty conservative here. So do any of you dance at places that are no touching? What kind of stuff do you do to really make money on those? I'm not sure I'm that down with that much touching anyway. Sitting on a guy's lap and talking about the first thing that pops up is one thing, service with a smile is another. Further, how often does a table dance really mean the table? I just know I'd fall off. I fell off a riser, trombone and all in middle school. Oh, and do you make just more with girl/girl shows? My lover wants to do amatuer night together some time, and hell, might as well have fun!

    Psuedonyms

    Um, how do yall come up with your stage names? My only nickname is smurf or some variation thereof. I went by Sandy when I did the website, but that's nothing to write home about. My hippy friend calls me "Sexy Cowgirl Mama," but I digress...

    The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

    I wanna know from all yall what it's really like. I just want your honest opinion. Are you enjoying yourself, is there any camradre with the other girls? I think I could have a whole helluva lot of fun with this, but I'm not the expert. So honest opinions please. And if you're just a big old whiner in general, you can opt out of this part.

    Okily dokily, that outta do for now. Thanks for anything you can offer, I'm sure I'll be back with something else shortly. And I'm sure you've answered the same question a million times, but I'm the kind of person who likes lots of reassuring that the water is warm before I jump in!

    love and cookies!

    Hi Smurf,

    You sound like a really cool person :-)

    Anyways, most of your questions depend on where you live, so I'll sort of answer them that way.

    Your looks sound good enough. If your in a big, competitive city, you might have to work on them a little or start in a smaller club, but if your in anytown, USA, you sound about average or above. Peircings are a problem in some (not all) clubs.

    Auditioning... I would just walk into the smaller club. Bring your shoes and outfit and tell the manager (or bartender or whoever) that you want to dance. If it truly is a small club in a small town hurting for girls, they'll probably fix you up and throw you on stage :-)

    Getting dressed to get naked... you know what drives me crazy? Putting clothes on so that I can take them off so that I can put them back on so that I can take them back off... LOL. I have no idea about your shoes. Your short set just depends on the club. Do you have any cute lingerie? That might go over better.

    Music, again depends on the club. Usually though, just tell the DJ what you like and he will try to play it for you. Find out if he's open to you bringing in CD's.

    Dances. No touch dances. Stand in front of them, between their legs. Move your hips, slowly. Remove your clothes, slowly. Lean over and let your hair fall over his head, slowly. Turn around and roll your hips, bringing your ass soooo close to him, slowly. If you're so inclined, run your fingers through his hair and let them fall down his chest, slowly LOL. Table dance usually does not mean on the table. Occasionally it means on a small platform. Don't worry, if you can walk in heels, you won't fall.

    Stage names... check out Alysabeth's list at feministstripper.com. An old idea is to pick the name of a Goddess, mythical charactor, actor, whatever, that you resemble or identify with. If you posted a pic here, everyone would try to come up with a name for you.

    Girl/girl shows, many places they aren't legal. Most places they wouldn't be allowed at amateur night.

    The good the bad and the ugly... enjoying myself? A lot of the time. Comraderie? More like competition. What it's really like depnds so much on where you are and how you approach it. It can be very very good, or it can be very very bad. Just don't do anything your not comfortable with, don't get wrapped up in locker room drama, don't get emotionally involved with the customers, don't do drugs at work, and you'll be fine.

    Hey girl,

    When I read your post I had to laugh because you remind me of myself when I started dancing. I used to go to parties too. Where are you from? I know exactly what you are talking about with the rave style dancing. Sometimes when I am on stage, I have to control myself from busting out with the liquid. HAHA. Lena did an awesome job summing up this type of profession. I will just add a few things.

    Before you audition I'd recommend going to the clubs and observing. You dont even need to have alot of money with you. Go in, tell the manager you wanna watch because you might want to work there, and you should be able to stand off in a corner. Girls most likely will not bother you for money. I was lucky when I started dancing because the manager knew I was new and hired me without an audition. Really helped with the nerves. You could practice auditioning in your room in front of a mirror. Keywords - slow and sexy. The rest you will pick up as you work and watch the other girls more.

    Im not sure where you are from. In most big cities they have stores that specialize in dance wear. Could you put a new outfit on your credit card? It pays itself off in one night, and its worth it. If you look good, you will feel good and make more money. I dont know if any girls would be willing to lend you clothing. Other dancers can be snotty to the new girl sometimes. They may also be hesitant to share with someone they do not know. I guess this depends on the type of girls at the club you audition at.

    High class clubs may have a problem with piercings. I know they ask girls to cover up their tatoes with derma blend. Neighborhood clubs are more lenient.

    High class clubs often just play a bit of everything. Some clubs have jukeboxes and you pick the music. Other clubs have a dj and you can tell him what type of music to play.

    Ive never heard of a table dance on a table. Haha. This usually just means no contact. (often in front of other people, girl stand sup) You just dance in front of him. Lap dances are a little more contact. You can sit on his lap...Lena talked about this topic so I m not going to elaborate much here.

    For good stage names I d read baby book for ideas. I wouldnt go with the name smurf (even though I love smurfs and have smurf stickers all over my apartment.) Nothing against smurfs..they are just not sexy enough to name yourself after in a strip club. Girls name themselves after cars, fruit, countries, cities, gem stones. etc.

    Dancers all dance for different reasons. I will warn you that this business is addictive. Once you see the money come in, it is hard to leave and you become adjusted (addicted) to the lifestyle. You said you are in school, which is great. Just know that when you come out of school it is hard to find a job that comes close to paying as much as dancing. Sometimes we like it. Sometimes we hate it. You will have your good nights. You will have your bad nights. Just do not let stripping become your whole life.

    You sound like your body is fine for dancing. I have seen dancers of all shapes and sizes (and i mean ALL shapes and sizes) FAT girls still seem to make ok money.....

    If you have any other questions post again.

    P.L.U.R.

    You sound very cute! I know you are thinking of working at The Fan. I have never worked there but have met girls who have, and the general consensus is that is the slow club in the area. They do pay a wage however, and it is a good place to start out because of the wage you really lose nothing.

    After you start feeling comfortable come south to the Show Club in the area. The management has recently changed, and is a lot better now (more comfortable) and the earning potential is a lot better. But an inexpierenced dancer will have an easier time at The Fan.

    Good luck-I hope to work with you soon! The other posts have great advice so I won't repeat what they said. One word of advice is lose the labret. Even though I think they look cute, a lot of guys with money are kind of afraid of girls with facial piercings. You certainly don't want to limit your earnings because of a little piece of jewelry that can be re-peirced later.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
