Hi everyone!
I have a few questions about buying my first costumes, but first, let me introduce myself. My name is Maria, and since my 18th birthday 8 months ago, I've been seriously considering becoming a dancer - that's what led me to this board, and I've thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning here. At this point in time, I can not afford to go to my first choice university, which is why I have been looking into such a career. If possible, I'd like to save some of my earnings for an IRA, or investing, as well.
For the last half of a year, I've been getting in shape, trying different hair and makeup looks, etc - I decided that if, by the time I felt confident enough to dance, I wasn't mentally prepared to shake my naked butt in front of a room full of strangers [boobies], at least I'd look great, so not too huge of a risk LOL! At this point, I feel awesome - I've never been so healthy (yay for running and health food!), or happy with how I look. I really don't have an issue with stripping, especially since it's just a job that will be the first step to the sort of life I'd like (namely educated, and financially stable). Now that I'm through with my life story schpeil...
I'm looking to buy and outfit or two for my audition(s), but I'm not sure what would be the best way to go. My local clubs are all very blue collar/neighborhoody, so even though I'd love to do a whole crazy theme getup and really stand out, would it be wiser for me to buy a 'plain' top/skirt/g-string set and clear shoes to start with, and be content to blend into the crowd of dancers, therefore making less money, if I do get hired? I realize that I will be able to purchase other outfits and shoes in time, but since money is tight, I'd like to make every item count. The other local girls all wear very standard stuff - itty bitty denim shorts or skirts, and slutty t-shirts. That's not me, but I have the potential to look totally ridiculous walking out dressed as a police officer [dazzled]
Secondly, are all clothes sold as Clubwear or Exotic Dancewear fairly easy to get out of sexily? What a silly question, I know, but before I order something (around here, only the house moms sell, if you can believe it - no stripper store!), I'd like to know if I should get something with a zipper or buttons down the front, or that ties (a sarong and bandeau set, f.e.), just to be safe. I can't see myself being able to pull a stretchy long sleeved shirt over my poofy hair with any sort of grace!
My last questions are these; when I've done my whole strip-down, and my set is over, should I just try to collect my shed clothes as sexily as possible, or what? I haven't quite figured that one out yet. When I've slipped into the two clubs I'm interested in working at, there were dressed girls walking the floor and a topless girl who's already stripped on the stage, but I haven't seen anyone collect what they've stripped.
Many thanks for reading all the way though my long post!
