    Default Showgirls Bar 20, Melbourne, Australia.

    I know a few girls on here have either worked or visited this club and i have read GoldCoastGirl's review but i still have some questions i need to ask and would be ever so grateful if someone could answer them.

    It's been a while since i visted the club and it's going to be over a week before i get to go back there and visit again and i really want to buy my outfits now so ...

    What outfits do the girls generally wear on the floor (because i've completely forgotten)? Does anyone know what the general rules are concerning this. Do i have to wear a gown or can i wear a mini dress or a wrap or ... what?

    I know i have to get a white g set for the megastrip but what else should i buy?

    I need help. I'm a newbie and this will be the first club i go to.

    Thanks in advance!

    hey tearstearstears, looks like the other girls are snobbing you so I thought I would pitch in lol

    I worked at Bar 20 for several years, it's the best club in Melbourne IMO. It has recently changed ownership (last year) and a few things have changed for the better.

    I am assuming they have already said it is ok for you to work there? I am sure you are a hottie but they used to be pretty fussy as to who they would hire....

    Aside from the white megastrip thing you can where what you want, not really any rules aslong as you look good and your outfits are clean (standard stuff). Lingere and sexy underwear always worked well for me and the manager likes that look (he has a habit of throwing $50 around to encourage the girls!!). It is also a good idea to change your outfit once or twice a night, its just a thing that works well there.

    Hope that helps,
    k

    I agree with krys. As long as it is clean, well kept and presentable... then anything goes.

    Just bring along 4-5 outfits so you can see for yourself throughout the shift what you do and do not like.... and therefore what will and will not work for you. Think sexy not slutty. Yet also anything that will stand out in a dark "black light" (uv light) type of club.

    PS. I've been away from the computer due to work mainly. I've been working my pretty little ass off basically LOL

    I'm interested in heading to Melbourne as well to check it out, I've never been, and I remember Goldcoastgrl saying this was one of the clubs to dance at, so I'm interested to see how you go. I'll probably head down at the end of the month.

    About that, i havent actually gone to see them yet. Bar 20 would be my ideal club to work in but if thats not an option i could work somewhere else, maybe Dallas Dancers, but the lax dress code concerns me and it doesnt seem as nice.

    Would you be able to give me some more info about working there. Whats the best way to go about it, do i call and then arrange to go down there and what's their "audition" process? I'm new to dancing and i need all the info i can get. I know two girls who work there but they havent been online for me to ask.

    Thanks.

    Well.... all you really have to do is actually go there. Go there and tell the chick at the reception (where a patron would typically pay to enter the club) that you are wanting to apply for employment as a dancer.

    Make sure you have your ABN, TFN and Drivers License with you as you will require such information to put down on the application form. You typically will fill this out.. then they will interview briefly. I advise that you do this a night or two BEFORE you actually plan to start.

    Stay away from Dallas Dancers. It was formerly known as Kages on Kings and had a very bad rep. It isn't a good club to dance within really. Stick with the more well known clubs such as Bar20, Goldfingers, Spearmint Rhino and Mens Gallery.

    I also heard that Dallas was a seedy place to dance, but I have been working there for a few weeks now and have to say that I'm really loving it. I haven't encountered any thing dodgy at all, and both the dancers and the patrons are as well behaved as in any other strip club.

    If you have patience with the young guys and can hustle the blue collar types, there is very good money to be made.

    The cash flow right now is a little sluggish, but that's to be expected after the garter-busting festive season (I think most will agree that it's like that every where at the moment). But even with this in mind, I'm still making my nightly minimum goal.

    MarieKitten - If you are currently working there I would advise that you please add a review to both the AROUND AUSTRALIA thread as well as the appropriate section in the Clubs and Reviews ( http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/club.php )

    That would help alot of us out including me. I can then go on the fact not heresay.

    I plan on writing a detailed review once I have been working there a little bit longer, just so that I can cover all my bases

    Just reviving an old thread in case someone wants to help me out here

    HELP ASAP !! Melbourne

    Exclamation Re: Showgirls Bar 20, Melbourne, Australia.

    try men's gallery....

    not making any promises but we have heaps of girls who only come down for a while... call the main office during business hours (contact info on the website; www.mensgallery.com.au) and ask to speak to denis (dance-co-ordinator). Explain to him that your a proffessional dancer from queensland looking to do some spot work in melbourne from time-to-time... they are always looking for fresh faces that aren't scrubbers so i'm sure he'll be helpfull!

    Otherwise, and i don't work there so not too sure... but i've had friends hired at goldfingers on the spot, not sure of the details though so you'd be best to call management in advance i guess!

    hope that helps!

    Mens Gallery Question -- Are they still really strict as to what you can wear (I remember receiving the rules/manual from a friend who wanted to work there and it was pretty strict on what can and cannot be worn by a dancer) and it is still alot of table dancing (with hardly any time to lap dance) ?

    sorry this reply's so late!
    mens gallery are still really strict on what the dancers are and are not allowed to wear; you have to wear a long dress/gown (something elegant; nothing trashy or too see-through) between 11-1am. The rest of the time you have to wear a dress (short/long) or a two-piece only if its been approved by management; nothing overly see-through and no animal print. and you cant wear a costume unless your a showgirl, and only then after your show. I know it sounds pretty anal but becaus eeveryone is in the same stuff your not disadvantaged-i actually found my earnings went up when i started wearing a evening gown the whole night... the guys seemed to think i was more refined - you dont tend to make big $$$ of the young guys who come into gallery, and i find that wearing anything too skimpy in there just seems to attract lots of "give me your phone number baby" from the under 25 crowd.

    As for table dancing, this can be a bit of a sore point with the dancers. You'll generally get 1 table set/hour. I stress generally unles the club is really busy with too few girls on (this only happens fri/sat). Table sets last 15 minutes and you get fined $30 and suspended off the floor for a hour (only if the dance sup's in a foul mood) if you are more than 5 minutes late; the money goes to the girl that had to stay on your table. I find on a busy night i will make money on tables but because of the way the clubs structured you will often get guys coming up to you straight after your table and asking for dance and especially towards close you'll find that your tabel sets will get you noticed bu the patrons!

    hope that hepls!

    My situation has changed since then as I mainly work for one club when I'm in Melbourne now. I will leave MG on my list in case I ever need to work another club.

    Thanks for the reply none-the-less, hopefully it'll help someone....

    Goldfingers is a great club! Management is really good and the girls are lovely. It has a good vibe to it. You do your 15min tables every hour and half or so, there is no mega strip like at Bar 20, no top40 or whatever its called at Men's Gallery. If you do shows then you have no tables at all. The money is good aswell, it's my fav club!!

    Just turn up dressed nicely (wear a nice GString) and tell reception you would like to apply to work as a dancer at the club. They will make you wait downstairs for a little bit, you then go upstairs to the dressing room, fill out the application form... they take a topless polariod of you for their records (as they have a shitload of girls that work very spoardically like me for instance so they take the photo so they know who you are when you call to work there)... and tell you about the run down.. you ask any questions... and then roster to work. Simple. Easy. No audition necessary.

    The same goes with Bar20 generally however I still say as a complete newb that you should start at Bar20 over the other clubs. Even give Centerfolds and/or Men's Gallery a go as Goldies can be rather competative (as they don't really 'cap' the number of girls so you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of dancers working).

    Wow, so it's that's simple? I was expecting a free-for-all audition where they'll just round up a bunch of girls and get them to walk naked up and down the room or something (just goes to show how much of a newb I am at this lol). That's fantastic!

    I've heard that Bar20 is the best place to start for newbs too, but I've also heard that they cull girls at a constant rate, and many aren't given a specific reason as to why they're fired. I just hope that doesn't happen to me, or if it does then I'd like to know why at least.

    But thanks for the info anyway, GoldCoastGirl! You've been such a wonderful help.

    Very very few clubs actually make you audition and there aren't that many girls that they would have a free-for-all as such... the majority of the time.. you turn up, fill out an application form (sometimes not even that), ask a few questions, get informed of the rules, they ask what is your roster... and you are working! Seriously. It isn't that hard to be hired and nor is it intimidating.

    As for Bar20, I have also 'heard' the same about them constantly culling girls so that is why I said it is a great club to start within as a newb. If and when they do cull you for no specific reason... just move on.. there are other clubs out there... you're lucky in that there are a whole heap of clubs in Melbourne.

    Hello Eevee, what GoldCoastGirl said is correct, it is very simple to apply and start work. You will enjoy working there, I have sadly quit working at Goldfingers. Goodluck x
