ok, let me start by saying this:
everything about me is extreme. i'm a rivethead. i LOVE industrial music (rammstein is mainstream to me). i have 20 body piercings and quite a few tats (i dont wear all the piercings to work) i can tone down the look a bit, but my look is what gets me noticed (i wear black and green braids that go down to my butt (at work- i look like betty page), black lite reflective or light up clothing (i make my own clothes))
i started out as a fetish model, i dont look or act typical at all (see: ohgr's performance: he covered himself in mud and came out on stage wearing a metal pope's hat singing madonna's 'borderline') my photographer's liked that i'm unique.
but i'm having a hard time. i don't really quite fit into any catergory (but im proud of that). in most goth/industrial clubs, people just lumber around or are too shy/ stuck up to dance. they wont hire me as a gogo dancer there cause i'm too 'slutty' when i dance (funny, they have threesomes and use drugs galore, i get no dates or even kisses, plus they dont pay you)
i got into stripping cause i really feel i could express myself. i could dance all i wanted to the music i wanted and quite honestly, it was more appreciated than when i went to regular fetish clubs (boston is VERY closeminded)
i have a hard time because i like to be VERY creative with my stage performances. i'm having a hard time finding a club that will allow me to do what i do (i have videos of getting my piercings done, hot wax and fire shows)
check out www.divaluxe.com to get a better idea of what i look like (i'm not actually on that site)
but i'm thinking: why not mix the two? i know many guys who go to goth clubs and the chicks ignore them (they can be very stuck up here) and they go home alone (they like this idea) and i've met many customers who are into what i do. i want to dance nude and do live artistic performances but it's hard to do that in regular goth clubs and i'm extreme for strip clubs. i'm working on starting up a website. but how do i promote something like this? i was thinking using email lists stating where i'll be performing and complete with a picture of myself. (i'll ask the club if it's ok if friends come along)
think this is a way to start my gig?
