    Sometimes it is hard to convince the customer that the best girl for him is the girl we suggest. My best suggestion is to maybe get some really great photos taken so that the angency can promote you to the customers in the best light.

    A Picture is worth a 1000 words. Especially one that has been photoshopped to it's best possible look.

    Unfortunately, that could be true; I run my agency in Connecticut and my clientele is 95% white guys($$$) who often explain that while they're not racist, please do not send black girls. One of our most embarrassing moments was leaving a party because the bachelor was so angry that one of the three dancers at his party was black (They asked if we could replace her with another dancer, the other two were white).

    Connecticut has an abundance of black dancers who are always looking for work. However, because white guys ($$$) can be so critical, I only hire few light skinned black dancers who can also pass as hispanic, and keep them paired with white girls (I call them "cocoa & cream teams"; surprisingly, the colored dancer is always more popular). It's given me a nasty reputation amongst black dancers that I'm a "house nigger", "uncle tom", "remember you're black", and I couldn't care less what they think as long as those white guys ($$$) are keeping me rich; I didn't get into this to make a better living for strippers.

    i think i might need to get some better pictures up. because the pics i have up arent really good at showing my face. but at the club most of my clientele is white so i think that its just that they cant really see me that well in the photos that i have. hopefully thats the problem. and not something way bigger.

    ^^I totally agree. We have some super hot girls working for us, but they have only mediocre pics, and the guys will invariably pick the dancers with the playboy looking photos over the girls with snapshots taken in the club.

    Getting some really nice pin-up style photos will go a long way, especially since this is the only sales tool the agencies have. The customer is on the phone looking at either an email or a website photo. I can schedule the girls with great photos well into next month, reguardless of what "race" the customer requested.

    Photos make a huge difference! It is even worth investing your own money on a brilliant professional photographer, because the payback will be tremendous. Men are so visual. When they see an amazing playboy style pick, they create fantasies in their head. And then they won't be happy until they have seen the girl who started this fantasy in their head.

    Crappy pictures will do you nothing but injustice.

    As harsh as ctstriptease1 put it, most men will pick white when given a choice (especially over the phone). But it is true that when the black girl arrives, if she is beautiful, many men will favor her. A beautiful black women is worth her weight in gold. So, I doubt that it is soley because you are black. Because if you are beautiful, you should bank. And if your pictures don't represent you as beautiful, you are S.O.L.

    Just think Tyra, Beyonce, Halle Berry, etc., etc., etc.,

    No man would turn them down.

    EXACTLY!!! All of those women are very light skinned. Have your photos overlit. DO NOT wear braids in the shot or to a job. I'm not too optimistic about your situation because I've seen white men from some states are very open to hot black chicks but white men in other states are the most racists idiots you've ever seen. For instance Conneticut white men are deeply racist but not NY NJ or Mass white men. Virginia may be one of those places.

    i work in ky and we had a girl who was black, not dark though, but she looked like possibly a little hispanic as well. well she got a call at least 3 times a week, probably didn't make as much as she could but they would book her as different types, hawiaan, oriental mix, black, hispanic. they would pull her every which way to get her booked. So maybe they could not say black as your description but use your actual heritage or cultural lines to stretch your description. just a thought!!! we also have a girl in town that banks andd gets a decent amount of calls, she is no contact, just shows and stuff and she makes really good money. she is realy pretty, cornrows, a hottie she does really well.

    it also depends on how your boss is selling you: Black is different then Brazillian. The girls I know who are Black call themselves Brazillian and by the time they show up all hot and sexy, the guys don't give a shit, and even if they did, there are Black women who are Brazillian.

    Or come up with a sexy mix and be Brazillian and Dominican or Haitian or Puerto Rican.

    But if your boss is selling you as just "black" it's not as sexed up as it could be. For example, I'm not "white" I'm Russian and Greek and part Spanish and that's what I tell clients.

    Fancygirl, that is a very good point. I think that when most white men hear "black" over the telephone, they think hip-hop, ghetto, and street. Which is unfair because a white woman can be trailer or ghetto. I have seen plenty of them. But that is beside the point, I think marketing yourself as Brazilian, Dominican or Haitian is a great idea! It sounds and feels more exotic. And heavens knows, men love Brazilians.

    Also, I just checked your location kaluah20, and I am a bit worried for you. I used to know a girl who flew down from Virginia every week just to work in Texas, cause Viriginia is no good.

    Maybe someone who knows your area better than I do can advise you about your location and whether you are better off traveling.

    But whether you travel or not, you still gotta go get some great pictures!

    i'm one who can verify just how important it is to have great pictures. i used to have pics that weren't so good and my agency would give me no work at all. so i really glammed up, did some great photoshoots, digitally retouched my fave pics, and now i'm one of the most requested girls at my agency.

    guys will usually be happy with you when you get there, but you need the photos as your hook.
