    Default Dancer as celebrity?

    I was just thinking about how when I have gone out with the girls I work with, we get treated like celebrities. In our city, which isn't really that big, it seems like everyone knows each other at the bars/clubs, and when you're a dancer, people know who you are.

    All the girls I work with get free drinks from random guys all night. Once they know we're from the club, it's just round after round of shots. I'm really not a big partier anymore, so I'm not going to be taking advantage of it very often. I also don't just tell people I'm a dancer when I'm out, but when I'm with the girls from the club, everyone already knows them, so then everyone knows I'm a dancer too.

    Anyone else run into this "celebrity" phenomenon?

    the city i work in isn't nearly small enough for that. plus, i almost never go out. but i have noticed that i get even more attention from men and more dirty looks from women than i used to in my day to day life. hmm...

    This totally used to happen when I used to go out and drink in my mid-size little city. Hell, we would get announced as we entered the club "The ___ girls are in the house". That was fun.

    Man that would drive me crazy. I work far enough away from my town that I don't have to worry about it. Before I started dancing, though, I lived in a smaller town in central Illinois and everyone knew who the strippers from the local club were. They seemed to like the attention, but that was part of why I never considered stripping until I moved to a more metropolitan area. I really like my annonymity.

    I get it a little bit. There are enough clubs that I wouldnt be known by a lot of folks... but regulars from my club, or my last club.... they tend to recognize me and such. Likewise some guys who just remember me from a one time visit... but not a lot. I dont go out to many bars, but every now and then I will run into someone who recognizes me... buys me a drink. I see more people just out and about... at the mall, at my retail job. So I get more of the "Hey it's Paige!" then like, drinks and such.

    I don't know any of them personally, but in Atlanta this happens alot I hear. The popular dancers are seen around town alot.

    I think it would be very annoying personally.

    I think it would be annoying if I were older....and doing something else, ie teaching which I plan to do in the next few years.

    There are a few dancers here in PDX who are pretty well known (their pictures are in newspaper ads, and a few have been suicide girls). But then again, we love our strippers here!!

    Totally had this happen - usually if all the girls from the club go out together. The boss from one club actually used this to his advantage when he opened a regualr night club - he had us attend the opening night, accompanied by our bouncers acting as body guards, shout outs from the DJ, free champagne, it certainly created a buzz in the club and we loved it!

    Yes, I get this when I work in small towns and I detest it. I'm not a stripper when I'm not at work.

    I work in London which is huge & I still get it! I was in a really exclusive club the other day and a guy said 'Alice (that's my dancer name) would you like some champagne?' He said I've danced for him a few times but I didn't even recognise him, oops

    For such a big place, the Gold Coast can be such a small place... only because the main/major nightlife hotspot is in one place... with all the nightclubs and strip clubs located in this small area... since I do not go out anymore (not into the nightclub scene - if I wanted drunk guys oogling me, asking for my number, etc then I would work lol) I don't experience this tho' I do know it does happen.

    Some girls thrive off it. Others, like myself, who are rather introverted outside of work rather be left alone. Goodness, I even dress really really down so that when I leave the club I do not get looked at ... since I'm dressed so daggy/down.
