    Default From Dancer to Model

    Some dancers just want to be dancers...some until retirement....some until they're you're done with college. But I have seen some who I honestly felt could be models. Has anyone ever created a "strip club" that was intended to act as a stepping stone toward modeling? Someone who could have an appropriate and helpful connection into that industry? Or does that just not work?

    I've met dancers who would never model and models who are dancers. That's logical enough.

    The problem is that for every half-decent photographer with a portfolio, there's 50 other GWC's** who either just want to take pervy shots and/or are using a "photography" excuse to see a dancer on the outside. Actually, there's legit photographers who use their business as an excuse to try to see dancers on the outside, too.

    If there was a "Models-R-Us Club," it would swarm with GWC's.

    If a dancer wishes to be a model, there's agencies and free online portfolios to sign up with. and are the two I've seen the most, but there's plenty of other.

    A strip club is not a good place to harvest models.

    GWC's (thanks for the full spelling) would not be permitted. That would be the point of the whole club....the contacts would be done through management. Anyone caught giving "gimme a call bayyyyyyby" lines would be immediately removed.

    This post reminds me of a dazzlingly ironic fact of modern life in America: great female beauty is cheap and almost worthless. Between plastic surgery, dieting, hair dye, and just the number of enterprising chicks looking for some way to parlay prettiness into something more....being beautiful is no big deal.
    PS Also, there are different types of looks needed for modeling- print models can be "cute/ girl next door", whereas runway/clothing models need to be tall and thin. The "sex" aspect of SCs favors curvy, femme looking girls....

    Trust me, unless you can qualify as one of the luck 12 girls a year who can become playboy playmates, or you have some certain 'magic look' that mainstream magazine advertisers will go for such that a mainstream modeling agency will pick you up and promote you, you can't make a decent living doing glamour modeling these days.

    Ironically, having been a "stripper" would definitely be held against a girl trying to achieve either of the above !
