    Default Where do you keep your money?

    Hello everyone. First time poster, long time lurker. I'm confused and really not sure if it matters (this may be a very minor detail). I've read a lot on this forum about keeping money in your garter, wearing a garter, etc. I have been to quite a few clubs as a customer an have never seen any (or very few) girls wearing garters. Most of them carry these little bags/purses. I'm guessing they put the tips in their bags.

    I have my first audition on Sunday and wanted to know if I really need to wear a garter. What's the advantage or disadvantage of wearing one?

    Also, where do you keep your money when you've made a lot of it? Do you change it out for larger bills there? Do you keep it in your locker/bag?

    Thank you all so much. The advice here has given me so much confidence.

    I'm Australian so I don't know how much of this really applies to you but what I have learnt is that this information may help someone on this board (who is lurking like you used to do) hence the reason I'm posting.

    Okay.. you are right. I too notice alot of dancers walking around with purses and small handbags instead of garters. These are also usually the dancers who are are smokers too as they will carry their cigarettes, breath mints and so forth in their purse/handbag.

    I personally use a garter for a couple of reasons.. my main reason is that I know that I'm bound to loose my purse/handbag at some point and if it has ANY money in it.. loosing it is a very bad thing. The other reasons why I like wearing a garter over using a purse/handbag is that I can see my money and constantly know where it is .... as well as show off my money to show that I'm a popular girl

    If I start accumulating alot of money on my garter .. I will either change it for bigger notes or move some of the money into my bag which has a combination lock on it hence is secure.

    Just like no one except me and the cats know my PIN number... the same with the combination number to that particular lock will also go with me "to the grave"

    Oh.. lastly.. I personally love the look of a garter on a stripper that has cash on it. Dunno.. too me.. it is part of the image of being a stripper that garter with the cash on it.

    Usually the places that I don't wear a garter is the places that require me to hand in all my dance money due to being a percentage club (they pay me my share of all dances at the end of the night).

    Some clubs have lockers -- that's where I keep my money, in my shoe, with a lock on the locker.

    In Vegas I worked with a little purse, but mine got stolen there before. You have to be careful - a good idea is to put it behind the customer in his chair when you are dancing for him. But if you are at a smaller club with less going on you probably will be able to keep a good eye on it. If you are prone to drink while working, be especially careful about carrying a purse as you might forget it !

    Nope, I've not worn a garter. Just don't like them.

    Thank you. That is very helpful advice. I never really thought about the sex appeal of a garter on a stripper. I think I'll pick one up tomorrow and then see if wearing it at the club is appropriate and/or works for me.

    I think you just have to find the method that's easiest for you. I've know girls who've never lost their little purses, though I know I would eventually. I prefer a garter because I know where my money is at all times. I have had a locked locker broken into before and had money stolen out of there.

    I wear a garter and fold the money in half around the garter and put a rubberband around the money to secure it. Some nights the wad of money in my garter is out of control but I would never consider leaving my money in a place I could not see it....

    I don't care what anyone else says...you ALWAYS keep your money with you. I've heard of too many girls losing or getting their money stolen. I'm weird, I guess, because I wear a garter around each ankle, and then one around my thigh. I let the men put the money in the garter around my thigh...and then when that one's getting full...I will transfer the money to one of the ankle garters.

    Do what you feel is best for you...but, putting your money anywhere that is not on your body is just a bad idea.

    I keep mine in a hard-shell cute purse. The thing never leaves my site/grasp, and I've never had a problem. For some people, though, a garter works better. I hated the time it took to arrange the cash, and I was afraid the rubber band would break, etc. So for me, a purse works best.

    I keep my money in a little purse. That works the best for me. I always keep my eye on it. I have thought about keeping my money in a garter belt but I dont feel comfortable enough with that...feel like I am going to loose it.

    I know that if my money leaves my person, it's fair game...and I worked too hard to lose it that way!! LOL!!

    I have a stretchy 6 row rhinestone bracelet that I tuck my money into (on the back of my wrist). I tuck it in there the way most people tuck it in a garter on their ankle......it gets in my way on my ankle on the pole, but on my wrist I don't notice it. When it gets big, I change out the notes for larger ones...keeps it more manageable.

    I always keep mine in my garter. Lol. I'm the only one at my club that uses a garter, although there is one girl that does the ankle garter thing. If I get more money than I think I can handle on my garter I will run it back to my locker and put it in a small locked box I keep in my bag.

    Default Re:Where do you keep your money?

    I keep my money in an adorable little purse (lots of compliments on it). This way I can hold my cigarettes, lipstick, money and other personals with me. I usually roll the money up and put a rubberband on it to keep it together. When it gets too big I just put my cash with my stuff WITH A LOCK ON IT Some clubs require garters even though you'll end up taking money with the side of your thong, and sometimes your teeth or breasts. If it doesn't require a garter, I wear one anyway because I think it looks good. You can also fold your money over your garter and tie it with a rubberband. Alot of girls do that, but I don't like for the customer to see how much I've made. I used to put a garter around my heel and ankle and fold my money into that. I really prefer my purse though. Hope this helps

    Thanks for the great advice everyone. I appreciate it.
    I am much better informed as to the advantages and disadvantages of purses vs. garters. And you're right, I think I'll try both and just see what suits me best.

    At my club we either carry a little purse or wrap the money in a rubber band around our wrist

    Good luck at your audition!

    also....

    when I have alot of $1's I cash them in at the bar for bigger bills

    Can I ask a question that probably has an obvious answer - but I am having a hard time to visulise how the money in the garter with a rubber band works?

    I can imagine money in a garter, and I've also seen girls wearing chokers/necklaces that they tuck money into.
    But how do you get the rubber band on after you fold the money over your garter?

    I've had money ripped off my garter!!! Be aware of your surroundings at all times no matter what. I always keep mine in a little wrist purse. Most ppl. think I just have cigs. and lipstick in it.

    I wrap a rubberband around my money, then fold it over my garter then wrap another rubberband around the bottom! When it gets thick and heavy, I just start a second set! It stays well

    I keep mine in my left ankle strap of my stiletto, with a couple of rubber bands around it... Transferring small bills to larger ones during dances/house fees helps reduce the size of the wad.
    Now that we're here, it's so far away
    All the struggle we thought was in vain
    And all the mistakes, one life contained
    They all finally start to go away
    And now that we're here, it's so far away
    And I feel like I can face the day
    I can forgive
    And I'm not ashamed to be
    The Person that I am today

    I keep a purse -- I'm largely paranoid that if I kept it in a garter it would fall out! The purse is with me all the time. This also has the advantage of letting me keep my ID/wallet and a snack with me. When I go on stage, it goes in a corner of the stage where custies can't reach.

    I have to carry a damn purse in Portland whereas I never did in Austin for the simple fact that we can't change our ones in at the bar at my club here; we have to do it at the end of the shift when we check out. Needless to say, between the fact that you get a hell of a lot more singles in Portland than you do anywhere else and you have to hang on to them for six hours, I have a bag now. The first few days when I was wearing a garter with my money on it, girls kept asking me, "Where are you from?" because this is, certainly, a foreign concept in PDX. Haven't lost it yet though.
