    Default Wow, it's raining $$$$... now I have to pick them all up

    You've seen or had it done - guy walks up to stage and throws maybe 40 bills into the air and it rains singles - ooooo. Big spender gets the full attention of the house and girl gets to spend five minutes on her knees picking dollars out of every nook and cranny while next dancer sighs behind her.

    What are the dancers thoughts on this practice? Do you like it or would you rather him just give you a nice stack or larger bills you can retrieve easier?

    I absolutely hate picking $$ up of of the floor. But I do realize that part of my job is to stroke a guys ego. If it's common practice at a club (It is a my club) I try to get t he guy to put it in my garter by smiling and holding it out for him.

    If he's just trying to show off, well I let him, if it's a substantiall amount and he isn't disrespectful w/ it, and I keep on stroking' his ego when I get off stage. He can look like the big man by keeping me dancing all night long baby!

    there was this one guy with his other two male friends and they are all smoking and joking, typical cigar in the mouth machismo, and he throws all this money AT the dancer. i thought it was a lil obnoxious, but i just went gathered her money and put it to the side while she was up there. the manager was a lil irritated too.

    Most of the time the girl getting on stage behind me will scoop it up... I feel lucky that the girls where I work all play well together (for the most part...) But I think if someone is going to do that pimpish move... Do it right. Don't go do that with chump change (i.e. 20 dollars or something).

    I say that because in my experience the bills on the floor are slippery... When I am on stage I want to perform... Without worrying about busting my ass!!!!

    *I am sure someone will make a comment about my "chump change" thing... For the record I am not so much talking about the dollar amount as much as the customers performance in doing a move like that... To me that is really an ego thing for a custy to do... I am not complaining about it, just stating my opinion.

    God - one Sat. night a customer followed me around all night long to each of the four stages that were going and did this to me over and over again. I mean it was obvious that he liked me, so that was nice - but man I hated picking it up. And it was just like 20 bucks each time. I didn't say anything, he was having a great time and I didn't want to discourage it. But, it would have been nice if a bouncer or someone would have helped me out a little. I've often thought it would be so cool to have like a little assistant who went around the club with me every night and like, sprayed down the pole for me - picked up all my cash - helped me get redressed - arranged my dances...

    Like bella622 says if it's a busy club and up-scale we had a girl who would reach around and grab all the dollars, yes she is on camera, no rip-off. Also when i danced Pure Platinum you could have a friend behind the stage side pick up you're money...a trust issue, and they did not mind.

    I will be damned if i would have scooped up a bunch of money while doing a stage show...It's degrading to the dancer imo.

    I have seen it happen alot to many girls starting out, and the guys would laugh because she stopped dancing to run the stage for bills all over the place like a money hungry kid.

    Seasoned dancers just know to keep on dancing and wait until you're done on the stage, take off you're shoes and pick up the money slowly, blow a kiss say thank you and walk off.

    Customers being an ass...Their loss.

    Now I'm confused. In the previous thread mentioned above most dancers loved this practice. "I love getting showered!" This time I get the feeling that it's not encouraged. That it is somewhat degrading. I wonder which it is...

    I agree... I am not saying I don't like it. I just don't like it when someone tries to pull a power move like that and doesn't bring the resources ($$$) to back it up. I don't think it's degrading, but rather more of a nussance. So if you want to do that, most girls I know (myself included) do love it... Just make it a good experience for both parties...

    Well, it does always look good for the dancer, we seem popular if there is a lot of money on the stage.
    I'm lucky because at my club most of the girls will help you pick it up, they don't want to wait to start their set either. Plus, the bouncers have a bucket all prepared if it gets to be too much money at once. That's is handy and I have worked in many clubs that keep such a bucket or box ready for dancers who don't have the time to scoop it up into their purse or hands.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Here's another thread discussing a similar topic.....



    "Pls explain why some tip this way..."

    http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46199

    ----------------------------------

    Ok let's add a little perspective.....

    Although gathering up a money shower may be considered slightly annoyoing for some, it's not nearly as bad as having customers at the tip rail who don't tip, right?

    Most of the clubs I have worked do not allow the dancer who was showered with money to crawl around and pick them up... management theory on this is it looks tacky and a bit degrading to be on our knees picking up the money.

    Club policy is that a bouncer comes on the stage and collects the bills for the dancer while she continues her set... when he has finished collecting the tips he hands them to the dancer to put in her garter or hold in her hand.

    Btw~ I love money showers as do most dancers I know. It makes the dancer look like the special or best dancer in the room at the time ! Guys who do this ALWAYS get better dances from me

    I haven't started dancing yet, but I can totally see liking it. I mean, scrounging around to find it all after your set seems annoying. But who hasn't ever wanted to be showered with money?? As long as it all lands in a place that's easy to pick up, both parties win. I look popular and he gets to look macho in front of his friends and I just made 20 bucks in 30 seconds. How can you lose?

    Money showers brings you attention. Attention brings you more money. Do I think it's degrading to crawl around on my hands and knees to pick up the money? Well, um, I'm a stripper, not a debutante, I mean the job itself requires you to check your ego in the first place. Yeah, maybe if I run for political office someday and someone throws money at the podium I might get a little pissed, but I can't bitch when I'm naked, sweaty, in a g-string and the DJ is blasting 50 cent over the speakers. I'm not going to split hairs on whether the money was presented to me in a respectful manner. Aren't there more important things going on in the world? Like, uh, a war?

    As I've posted before in other threads, I do throw money showers. In fact, I prolly throw them more often now then when I first started going to SC's.

    Before the first time I threw one I saw a guy throw a money shower for another dancer. Although it was cool to see the dancer get showered with attention and of course money, I did notice the awkwardness that followed when the dancer had to do the "crawl around" and gather the shower up.

    I asked my fave dancer what she thought of them. She said she loved them, but no one had ever thrown one for her yet. A few weeks later on her b-day I stopped in, and when she went on stage I threw her a money shower.

    Now since then, I've thrown her several money showers. Sometimes for special occasions (ie "happy b-day", "Merry X-Mas", "Happy New Years", etc.) and other times just because.

    If I ever felt she was offended or annoyed in any way by having a money shower thrown to her, I certainly wouldn't do it. We've known each other long enough now where she knows she could certainly ask me not to throw them or tip in some other way if she wanted, and that would not be a problem.

    The club she works does have a bucket that the manager will hand a dancer if she has a shower thrown on her. (Money showers do happen often there, so the bucket in a way becomes an informal measuring stick as to how good the shower really was. ) Also, she's now got a little method she uses to gather up the shower during her set so she doesn't have to do the "crawl around" afterwards.

    There have been times when a dancer at that club has bouncer or someone else help them gather up the money, but then of course they have to tip that person.

    ---------------------------------

    There are a couple of guidelines I use in throwing them for her.....

    - Most important....it always AT LEAST $100

    - I only throw it during a set she will finnish on the main stage. If she has to rotate to a satellite stage next, then I won't throw one. (I also won't throw one to her when she's on a satellite, since they are too small and too much of a mess would be made off stage.)

    - During a 4-song set I throw it around the beginning of the second song. I think it's cool to shower her when she's not fully undressed yet. Plus it gives some customer's time to tip her before I throw the shower, and it gives time for the after shock of the shower to wear off and allow for other customers to come up and tip her before the end of her set.

    - NEVER throw it when she's sharing the stage with another dancer. Unless it's intended for the dancers on the stage to split the shower. Otherwise, it's just rude to the other dancer.

    - I do it quickly. I don't stand up there too long before I throw it, and I leave the stage immediately after I throw it. The attention should be on her. Sometimes I'll throw the shower on my may out the door to leave the club.

    - I only throw it when it's busy enough that the money shower will add to the energy of the club.

    - I try to make sure I don't cost her other dances by doing it. My goal is to tip her and give attention to her, get people to think there must be something special about her. (Cause I think there is. ) However, I don't want to intimidate other customers from tipping her or hurt her ability to get dances from customers later on.


    That's just how I approach them.

    I love it... when you are dancing doing some floorwork and you get a wad of money (preferably 5, 10, 20,100's ) showered on you. Its an ego booster. Plus it gets people's attention in the SC to watch the stage. Plus I'm 200x more likely to go find that guy after I get of stage.

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

    I don't mind showers...I've never had anyone throw money in a degrading manner. I really don't mind when my custy that throws only $20s does that for me...lol. My 2 close friends always come up to help pick them up for me.

    I do hate this... and it tends to happen with the younger crowd mainly. I don't mind bunched up money thrown but do not throw it at my face and like you are pitching for the world series.

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

    Money showers are good. Only drawback is the slipperiness, so do it near the end of your girl's set, when she's probably doing floorwork anyway.

    I like crawling around on my hands and knees to pick it up

    It occurs so rarely that it isn't even worth noting. I just pick it up and move on, grateful that I'm getting more than $3 for an 8 minute badass, intensively sexy stage set!

    This reminds me of a fantasy I have had from time to time. I have always wanted to have a hottie strip naked lie on floor and cover herself completey (well I know she would need help) in MY $20 bills. and as I take them off one by one and put them in a pile, she gets to keep all the ones she lets me take off. I suppose it would be best with a girl who wasnt normally dancing naked for me otherwise whats the big deal? Well its a fantasy and needs a little work I guess. LOL NE way thought I would share it.

    It's easier to just hand her a few large bills and smile. Who the fuck wants to take the time to break a couple $20's or $50's, then go throw them? I'm sure that sort of behavior will elicit a positive response.

    It all depends on how it's done. I have written about this at length elsewhere, but it's worth making a couple of points again.

    If it's a tribute to the dancer, meant to give her attention and let the crowd know she deserves it--a rain of money for her talent and skill--then it's a good thing.

    I have mentioned this before, but two of the very best and most professional dancers I have ever worked with used to do this to each other on good nights with the same money. The crowd loved it and everyone tipped more, so you better believe I talked it up when they did it.

    On the other hand, it kind of spoils the effect if the dancer has to crawl around picking it up, so having someone on hand to do it would be cool.

    And also on the other hand I have seen guys do this--most often drug dealers, lol--who were obviously trying to show off. While it might be irritating, they are at least spending a lot of money.

    Another thing to remember, for the customers out there, is that just slipping the dancer a twenty--even if she knows you--might be pointless. I can't count the times I have had dancers come up to me and ask who tipped them the ten or twenty.
