    THats strangeto put on a fake russian accent- In NYC most customers avoid the girls with the russian accent because the reussian girls have the lable of being 'pushy'. Why would you put on an accent that drives customers away????

    Actually, because of the previous French colonial ties to their home countries, there are a LOT of Algerians, Moroccans, Tunisians, Lebanese, Syrians, Qataris, and Iraqis who have lived in France for several generations, and have French citizenship. Much like many immigrants to this country, they have lived in communities of their own ethnic group, but they consider themselves fully French as well. Since there is a relatively free flow of immigrants between Europe and the US, many people of all nationalities who have spent several years in France (-or Germany, the UK, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, or Canada) have later come to this country as students, workers, and professionals. Maybe those French Arabs who visited your club fit in that category.
    France is not like the U.S.A. You are not 'French', unless you are indeed, 100% French. People of Algerian, Morroccan, (or any other ethnic background) who are French citizens, are not considered French 'people'. That's why it baffels the French that we say, "anyone who lives in the U.S. is American, no matter what thier background is." If a person of Japanese background is born in the states, they say "I am Japanese/American", or even "I'm American." In France a person of Japanese background, born in France is not 'French'.

    Why do I post this? I dunno. Just some background on French mentality.

    That reminds me of 2 Arab guys at the club who told me they were French. I winked and said, "sure, habibi" and it was obvious they understood but they kept on playing it off. Probably trying to protect themselves from anti-arab sentiment......
    ...and they picked FRANCE!? As if the French are viewed any better here than the Arabs? LOL Freedom Fries and American Vanilla Coffee for me!

    No, she has very long straight light brown hair, and she always wears a zebra print cowboy hat. I think she is fairly tall but its hard to tell with the heels...I think she wears boots. Are you at St. James also??
    No, I'm not at St. James. I was thinking you were in Austin, TX because of another thread. Sorry

    Well if you read my original post, it would explain it. In Texas, Russian dancers are not common and don't have the poor reputation that they have elsewhere. Most girls here are white, hispanic, afro-amer, or Vietnamese.

    From my experience, Tx customers consider a girl from Europe as sophisticated, beautiful, intelligent, and more sexually "open". Thus, its a great gimmick to get lots of $$$$$$$.....

    When I worked in Europe, I didn't tell anyone about my background for the very reason you described above.....

    Interesting thread, I don't have one opinion over another about why a person would fake their background. Girls, girls, get that cash!!!!!

    This is getting really off topic, but I have a perfect example of ethnicity-mixing that went kind of wierd. I have two guy friends, thier brothers and thier family is Lebanese, but thier mother is half-Lebanese and half-European so she's, half white I guess. Anyways, the guys speak Arabic and all of thier relatives look middle-eastern...however the guys are pale skinned with, yes, red hair. Natural red hair. When I first met them, I thought they were irish...then they started speaking in arabic. So, they're what, a quarter european in them? They have relatives with the same sort of european/lebanese mix going on...but they still look of middle eastern descent. I guess stuff like that just happens sometimes.

    One of the top bellydancers (ie, MidEastern folkloric dance) in Texas, Farida from Houston, is 100% egyptian, from Alexandria I think...and has long ringlet-like bright red hair, and pale freckled skin..typical irish...she is soooooo beautiful and talented!

    God I used to work with this Russian dancer that was such a bitch god she was the most despicable human being I ever met in my life. That is why whenever I hear a Russian accent nothing sounds more ugly and unsexy to me. But alot of people like it. I can't say having a minnesotan accent is any sexier though. LOL.

    I agree with monty on this one. I'f I'm in a club I'm there for fantasy not reality... HOWEVER... I think it's a bit odd that these girls would try to pull the ruse over on their co-workers too.

    My family is British, and I use the family name "Worthington", and a lot of guys are disappointed that I dont have the cool accent. I thought about faking it, but I cant do it well enough, no matter how much Monty Python I watch
    I think accents are sexy, espeacially European ones........I'd be annoyed to find out they faked it though.

    FBR, in Dayton those aren't fake. Those are the folks who ran out of gas on the way to Detroit.
    PS I grew up in a town on the Westeern county line of the westernmost county offically designated as being "Appalachian". The formal definition is Southern Appalachian Highlander, not hillbilly.

    Hi Katrine, Are you now in Texas? Where? I copied the message above; if that is still true today, please let me know, so I know where to go to dance. HAhaha. I’m from Europe and I have accent the true one, is just hard to say from where (for people), as I lived in so many countries there and speak more languages. I live in Dallas, but I’m at this moment in Washington DC thinking about to go back to Texas, still don’t know where do. Any suggestions? I saw in another messages that you travel a lot.

    I've been watching this thread awhile and I rememembered the "dumbest" fake accent.

    This was about 10 years ago in Tampa. I went into the club and a girl aproached me she started talking

    Very ...............................................
    Very ................................................
    Slow ................................................

    It was painful to listen to her. I actually asked her why she talked that way and she said it was sexy.

    Yea. if I had the I.Q. of Forest Gump.... less 80 points.

    But, hey, I guess she had her clientle defined.

    I seem to be the exception here. Born and raised in Sweden, when i talk to my family over there i have a hell of a hard time, especially with my mother.

    I moved here very young, and speak good english, but if i start talking fast my words come out hard and i sound more Brit.

    I try NOT to speak with the accent, i don't think they are nice sounding, so i talk slower, but clear. My family just kills me! I have recently started learning my first language for my mother, and find reading and speaking it brings back that damn brit sounding accent.

    I love NO accent, but still have one, do my best to try to keep it under wraps, it's funny..i guess i keep it because i talk with my family alot in Sweden, and always heard them speak at a very young age while living there. And talk to them still. I work with a women from Sweden now, and she is making it even harder on me.

    For some reason alot of women ask me where i am from....? And don't seem to like Swedish females.....?

    Pamela, the Swedish have a really funny language and array of accents. I could understand you wanting to lose your accent if you were from Skane (sorry, I don't have a Swedish keyboard). They have a helluva funny accent which I think is one of the reasons why the rest of Sweden make so much fun of them. But to be honest I prefer that one to the rest of Sweden. It's a lot softer and more sing-songy.

    I have tried and tried to learn Swedish, but the thing with Swedes, once they know it isn't your mother tongue, it's damn hard to learn it. They all love speaking English so much. So much for sharing

    ya know something? This has always baffled me as well. LOL
    I was born in the U.S. but my family is from Spain and Cuba.
    Now I was always confused about what to say... If I told friends I was Cuban/Spanish, they would say, "Oh but you werent born there so you are american." WTF? The blood that runs through my veins is that of hispanic culture.
    I think its so stupid, but ok...so now I tell someone that I am american, and they will say, "Well where are your parents from?" and when I tell them they say, "Then you arent american...you are hispanic!" Not only that, I hate when people say, "Oh my god, I thought you were WHITE!"
    Well, shit! Look at my skin. I AM white... but I am a white hispanic. Guess you cant be white if you are hispanic? grrr
    My family from spain is super light skinned with light eyes. My family from cuba has light skin with a mix of dark and light eyes...
    Loop after loop after loop!

    Anyway I dont know why I post this either... LOL Just trying to vent!
