    Default You know you're a VETERAN stripper when...

    Inspired by something from another thread....

    You know you're a veteran stripper when:

    1. None of the clubs you danced in your early years still exist.

    2. None of the dancers you knew in your early years are still dancing.


    Bleh! I've already been planning my exit for the next few months, and this is just pushing the issue.

    3. When you can talk about your "early years" of dancing.

    When you started dancing when the girls wore pumps.

    When the 80's songs you danced to were only a few years old at the time.

    A girl you work with tells you how fantastic you look, especially since you're only 3 years younger than her mom!

    Are you shitting me? But if it's someone in our club, I can't say I'd be too surprised!

    I haven't been encountering too many of these just yet, but I'm definitely working on an exit strategy. I've pretty much given up on finding a job where I can come and go as I please and make $500 in 4 hours...

    Next best thing? College professor!

    Hey! Watch it! Pumps were way cool to dance in! 80's-90's rock was the best! Big, big hair, tan lines and hot colors.

    You can remember when dancers got a paycheck.

    You can remember when platforms came into vogue.

    You remember when fake boobs were a novelty and only one or two girls in the club had them.

    Is it said that almost every single one of these apply to me in some way? LOL

    Especially the one about the early clubs. LOL.. I just found out that the chain that I danced for in VA is no longer a chain, and down to only 1 club (there were FOUR back then)!

    I also remember being the only one brave enough to wear stilettos because everyone else was wearing pumps. lmfao

    I also remember little-to-no contact and most dancers back then would say "I would NEVER give a lapdance!"

    Susan.. It's so funny you mentioned the paycheck! At my first & second clubs, I got $15 per shift. woohoo!

    . . . you still refer to clubs that have undergone name changes by their old names, and no one knows what you're talking about.

    (i still refer to the christie's chain as tiffany's.)

    Nina, that's what I've been thinking (the prof thing). Now I just need a few more letters after my name...

    When open toed eight inch stilleto's are nice to your feet compared to the old style shoes.

    When you remember not being allowed to "show pink."

    You remember the women you worked with when you started and think some of them would go absolutely homicidal if they saw the way clubs work these days.

    When you reminisc with eighty year old customers about the "good old days" of dancing ("yeah... I remember when they used to put on real shows like you just did... I wish they'd do more of that now a days... ").

    When you remember learning to dance with a cape and actually still have an old one around somewhere....

    The original boob jobs now look small.

    No touching rules were actually enforced.

    Wearing gloves!

    In my club, wearing pantyhose (don't miss those)

    Clubs were short on dancers and always happy to see you.

    Miss those paychecks!!!

    WHEN THERE WERE NO VIP ROOMS!!

    When the worse extra around was the one trampy girl who let guys cop a feel on her boob, sometimes.....

    A $1,000 night was guaranteed once a week from only dancing.....

    LMFAO Kat.. Hell, I remember a girl that caught hell for flashing her boob. She tried to pass it off as showing a customer her tattoo (it said "fuck me" around the nipple.. lol). Of course it didn't fly because flashing a tattoo that's on your boobage, is STILL flashing your boob.. LOL

    They canned her.

    When Dr. Feelgood and paradise city were the staple songs.

    I may have many faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.

    Take me down to paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...

    Okay, my turn...

    You remember when you used to ask guys what they used in their hair to make it look the way it did...

    Clubs opened at 4 and were only open three nights a week

    dressing rooms were war zones.

    hahhahaaaa Gynger! God! I will never forget going down to Dallas in 1995 and working at the Men's Club. The girls there would totally kick the shit out of each other in the dressing room! I thought I was a big fish until I went there. One girl was so mad at another girl that she pissed in her costume bag. I about threw-up I was so scared!

    Does anyone remember wearing t-bars with suspender-like straps that crossed in the back?

    Aqua-net hairspray or Splash (Focus 21 right?)

    Dude! My hair was so big when we would be out at regular nightclubs and I would ask to borrow someone's hairspray in the bathroom they would say are you sure you need it and please don't use it all! Then, we would have to kick their butts!

    Wetskin material dresses?

    Merry-go-round stores

    MC Hammer?

    Shit! Am I really showing my age!

    Quite funny for me... the club where I first started was called Santa Fe Gold. It was literally right next door to a niteclub. Both were bought, demolished and were re-born as Hollywood Showgirls. I'm working at Hollywood Showgirls.

    I can say .. "I remember when I was dancing at Santa Fe Gold...." LOL !!!

    Oh it still happens, just MUCH fewer and farther between! :'(

    Me and Bridgette dealt with an inordinate amount of shit tonight. That definitely makes me want to quit!

    Nice customers, but steady stream of managerial BS. But what do expect when you work for Deja Vu?

    LMMFAO!!! I used to go to the little boys section to find suspenders I could take apart to attach to the sides of my thongs and cross over my neck. Pulled the sides of my thongs just about under my armpits. LOL! Because "it makes your legs look longer". LMAO! It took me a while to get used to wearing those newfangled lowrise type thongs which I find soooo sexy now.


    ...oh and when most of the girls you work with have NO IDEA that "hot new song" by Britney Spears is just a bad remake of a song by Bad boy Bobbie Brown that was a huge hit back when they were still in preschool.

    You remember when the clubs paid the dancers not the other way around

    There was actual "Training" for new dancers

    the majority of teenage and early twenties women wouldn't be caught dead in a strip club, much less entertain the thought of working there

    You made most of your earnings on stage, table dances were a rareity

    the money you did make on stage was very, very good!



    Bridgette, I worked with a dancer who's mom was actually younger than me. this girl is also pregnant. Does that mean I'm old enough to be a grandma??


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