    Default Super Short... help?

    Hello everyone!
    How are you all!

    Obviously a newbie here I want to be a stripper and wondered how to get started. I've been wanting to do this since I was 11-12 years old when I saw a stripper dancing on late night tv, and thought "Wow! I so wanna do that one day!" Well things didn't work out as I grew (or lack there of) and although my husband says it's absolutely nothing, I still want some opinions. What are my chances of getting hired because I am only 4'8". If it's a matter of heels I have no problem there, I can walk/run/kickbutt really well in 3inch stilletos, but even with such I only really make it to 4'11"-5' with some of my shoes. I think it's the only thing holding me back (other than the 15 lbs I've put on since last december), and it's pretty minor

    Thanks bunches!

    Getchaself some good platforms -- they'll tack 5-6 inches onto your height and your foot will only have to deal with three inches of it. I currently dance in 4.5" non-platforms so I don't have any special dancing shoes, but I have heard Pleaser is a good brand for these.

    Allright, I'm going to tell you how it is straight up. When you walk into a club to audtion, have 4-5 inch heels on your feet. If they make you actually audition, wear some eight inch platforms. Height really isn't a big deal, as I'm 5'1" and have had NO problems dancing, but why even make it an issue? If you walk in with some mega heels on, then audition in some super mega heels, your height should not even be an issue!!

    In fact, guys will probably think you are cute, as you will still be little in dancer heels. (I'm 5'9" in mine)

    Go for it mama!

    ^^^^Definitely, go for it. I'm 5'2" myself and I'm rarely seen without some type of heel. But there have been times where I've had to take my shoe off to fix it or something and when I stand down, it looks like I've gotten lost.

    Guys DO think it's cute. If I had a dollar for everytime someone picks me up in the air when they hug me, I wouldn't have had to strip. It makes them feel like THE MAN when we're so tiny. Use it to your advantage and play up the tiny girlie thing. Good Luck!

    The girls are right, just get some 8" platforms. You should find them at a local shop or here's a link to browse http://www.spicylingerie.com/high-heels---boots.html.

    You will also find great costumes here. And in my opinion, the short girls are always the cutest in the little school girl outfits. A good friend of mine is really short, she has sewing talent and made her own outfit. She looked so adorable in it.

    Your height shouldn't be a problem at all, in fact it'll probably help you sell more dances, I know, I'm 4'9"

    I wear 5 or 6" heels at work and they are fine, eventually I will get a pair of 7-8" heels myself too in time but I assure you they aren't necessary. A lot of custies seek me out just because I'm so short and they like small girls, I'm garanteed a few dances each shift just because of my height!

    The only problem with our short statures is that putting on weight shows up faster. For me, gaining 3 to 5 pounds = going up a dress size.

    Go for it and have fun, don't even think twice about your height being a problem, think of it as a selling point

    Hi Madhatter,

    Don't let being short hold you back. Invest in some 8 inchers, or even just 6-inchers. I'm 5'0 and wear 5.5 to 7, depending on my mood and yes, being tiny makes me stand out. There is another dancer where I work who is 4'11 and wears 4-inchers, putting her at 5'3 and she also works the "tiny-dancer" act. You should go for it!

    Agree..get some 6-8 in heels, they make you look thinner. I am 5'6 wear 6 inchers, and am 6'ft tall w/ the heels. I tower over a lot of guys, but I like the heels. A lot of guys like the shorter girls, they have less of a complex. don't let it stop you! Make sure you walk around in them first,and the ankle support helps, I fell on my ass with the backless ones, I am working my way up!

    I'm five foot nothing, and I am not the shortest in the club. There are two others shorter than me (would be three but Starr moved to Tampa). Seriously. Guys love it, if anything.

    I worked with a girl your height, 4'8" and she did well. Very cute girl and it was funny because big guys loved her.

    I'm 5'4 barely and i wear 6 inch heels or my 5 inch boots! Most the girls i work with are near my height. Your height shouldn't have anything to do with you being able to dance. Get a pair of heels and practice walking around in them. Go slow! Get some auditions and let us know how it goes! Good luck hun and don't worry about anything, you'll be great!

    As we all know... there are different strokes for different folks. I worked at the Men's Club in Reno for years and there was a beautiful little lady there that made bank, and I mean bank. With dancing it all depends on personality. Looks help and all, but I speak from experience that the top earners at most clubs aren't the most attractive, but the most ruthless.... personally they seem to have issues with me because I have a personality... but that's what works for me. If it's something that you really want to do then do it... being petite is just a good conversation starter... and you have something to offer that the other girls don't. I'm 5'11" (no heals) and I intimidate most men... I have to sneak up behind them and crouch down so that they're comfortable!

    Good luck,
    I'm sure you'll do great!

    I've actually heard from several customers that they like "petite" girls. I think that is a turn on for some men. Then again, I am 6'0" in my heels & some guys love that. Either way, you're def. gonna find guys that will love you! (well not love but you know what I mean)
