    Default where to keep money

    hi there
    i have searched for the answer to this question but maybe my search terms were not right.
    where do you girls keep your money?
    will the money be safe in a garter? if the club is crowded couldn't someone easily steal it out?
    i know a dancer that ties her money with an elastic band around the heel of her shoe.
    i also saw the thread about those new tip jar shoes by pleaser.
    i noticed in other threads u girls advise dancers to be discrete about their earnings in the club from the other girls so maybe the solid colour would be the better option in the tip jar shoes rather than the clear heel.
    thanks

    Different dancers do different things...

    Some carry a little purse around with them. I know one dancer who uses lunch box she thinks is cute to carry her money and a few other essentials. You just have to make sure it NEVER leaves you.

    Yeah lots of dancers carry their money in a garter. Usually just fold it over the garter, then secure the open end with an elastic band. Makes it harder to loose the money, and harder for someone to grab it without you noticing. I know some dancers who wear two garters, one around their thigh to collect tips and another around their ankle to hold their money.

    Also some dancers only carry a few bills on them (I guess they feel like if they look like they've been tipped it looks like they're in demand), and then lock the rest of their money away during the night in their locker. Be absolutely sure your locker is secure if you do this.

    Tip Jar / Treasure Chest shoes have two different purposes. The tip jar is the one with the slot for tipping into. Personally, I think they are an okay novelty, but you really can't stuff too much in there, and you almost invite some jerks to give you coins. Bleh.

    The Treasure Chest shoes are the ones with no slot in the platform, just a small access hole in the sole. Yeah you can hide a few large bills in there, but it would be hard to carry around a big wad of cash. The opening is just too small, and you'll find youself fighting to get your money out at the end of the night. Yeah, if you do use the Treasure Chest shoe to hide some large bills, definitely get the solid color ones.

    The clear Treasure Chest shoes are cool if you want to customize your own novelty shoe. Rather then spend money on all types of shoes with little novelties in the patforms (rubber duckies, poker chips, butterflies, flowers, etc.) you can just get Treasure Chest shoes and insert whatever you want, and change the look when you feel like it.

    Anyway, hope that was helpful. Best of luck!

    hi jaizaine,

    it depends on the venue - i think the garter is handy for accepting tips but i wouldnt want to put too much on there incase it fell off while im upside down pole-dancing!! i use a small wallet with a shoulder strap that fits neatly under my arm - i personally think bigger bags are unattractive because they make your figure more bulky.

    other places you can put money - boots or in opera gloves/ gauntlets.

    if you are good at making stuff you could build a purse into any accessory - belts/leg warmers...

    when dancing for a customer place the purse directly in your view like on a ledge behind him so its always in your sight

    & always keep it somewhere you see or feel it

    Also, careful with the tip shoes. Some girls take their shoes off during lap dances and it would be a prime opportunity to swipe someones money out of the shoe. That's when you're preoccupied, it's dark, etc.

    Some girls carry around small drawstring bags that they loop around their wrists....

    I keep my money in my locker now, but when I first started dancing I just kept my money wrapped around the middle finger of my left hand. The bills are stacked lengthwise and you get used to it. You have to cash in your ones if you do it that way or you'll have too large a stack.

    I have a Hello Kitty purse that never leaves my side. For some reason the guys absolutely love it, so I use it just about every night. A purse gives you the option of carrying around a few essentials, like lip balm/gloss, and mints/gum for you and the customers. You may want to choose a bright color or something that glows in the blacklight, so it would really stand out if some guy did try to grab it.

    Most girls in Portland seem to use this system, since we can't collect tips in garters. Some still roll the money up and display it in a garter, anyway.

    A locker can also be a good option, perhaps for securing the larger bills.

    Um, you're doing it backwards. A purse is too easy to get stolen so by putting your big bills in there you're taking more risk. If you're going to wrap and secure money on your garter, put it ALL there, and stick the bigger bills inside so they're not showing. That's how I've always done it and never lost money in 11 years. And guys don't turn me down for dances because they see my money on my leg - if anything they buy because seeing that makes them think I must be really popular and therefore good at dances

    I used a purse (a cute looking one) when i danced. although bridgette brings up a point that it could be stolen, i never had a problem with it. that thing was always near me, in plain sight, always in my hands except for when dancing, at which point i'd put it in a place where no one but me could grasp it. for me, i liked to have all of my stuff near me (such as wallet with money inside, keys, breathmints, lipstick, cellphone, etc.) at all times, especially since some of the clubs i worked at didn't have lockers in the dressing rooms. i was absolutely vigelant in guarding it, and for me it worked. might not for some.

    actually, many years ago, there was one instance where another girl moved my purse while i was on stage, and i nearly freaked out. she was nice and hung it up for me on a hook, but forgot to tell me (she being all cracked out). she didn't take anything from it, but i wasn't watching it then....it was stupid, as i was drugged out at the time.

    anyways, after that, i never had a problem.

    There are little purses with the draw strings like a few of the girls posted, I like those because I can keep it on my wrist at all times. But even then I get nervous!

    I made a rookie mistake my first few months of dancing, and carried my money. Well doing a dance for a big group one night, my money vanished! Most of the guys were older and had no problem with me asking to "frisk" them....I wouldn't let anyone leave the table....then the youngest guy came back from the bathroom and I informed him that I needed to "frisk" him also. He blew up at me and said "F*ck you B*tch, go ahead and frisk me, I ain't got your f***ing money!" well....gee...Think he had it??? Yah, he did, up his shorts in his jockey's I reached up his shorts, grabbed a handfull of tighty whitey and said, "Break that monster out dude, I want my damn money back!"
    He did, I got it back, but I learned a lesson....

    I always used a tiny little purse, like the kind you use for a cocktail party, that size. Just big enough to hold my cash and lipstick. I never had it stolen and it was easy to keep an eye on while giving dances and I took it with me while on stage and set it in the far back corner of it on a chair, which is where we all put stuff when we went on stage.

    Hahaha! I was going to suggest Mutual funds or CD's!

    I use a purse that has a long string and hang it across my body. You will be suprised how much money you can get into a tiny purse, if you are organized. My purse is no larger than a typical CD jewel case (fabric, of course) and I currently have about $700 in cash in there from last night's parties. Roughly $200 is ones.

    If I don't feel the purse around me, I just feel weird at work. It is almost like the feeling you get when you only have on one shoe, I can't mistake that I am missing something.
