    Arrow Dollars on your garter

    Hello..i was wondering,

    do you keep alot of dollar bills on your garter?

    i usually do. wrap them around with a rubber band.

    mostly girls i see in my club dont.

    do you think this works to your advnatage or dis-advantage?

    in my opinon, i think it works for me. i dont keep a shitload or ALL of my dollars on my garter, but i keep a good amount. i think it makes me look more popular and maybe get the guys thinking "wow she must be good or somethin'".

    one guy told me, "you shouldnt wear all that money on your garter. you should hide it. guys wont wanna tip you if u have too much. ull get more money if u dont show it all".

    ugh, i hate when guys try to give me advice. some advice guys give me are OK, but some say it kind of snotty like they know everything there is to know about being a stripper.(shit even i dont know everything there is to being a stripper!)

    opinons/thoughts/comments???

    I've seen girls wear them with money on it...I know I sometimes assume they are having such a good night that they don't have time to put it away. So I can definately see how a guy might assume you are popular and he should scoop you up.

    Personally though I never wear a garter on the floor... I used too but in the last two years I've just reallyfelt wierd walking around with one on. I don't know why.

    I used to when it was really busy and I couldn't get to the housemom. In the club I worked at, we all had envelopes that we kept our money in.

    When I moved to Nashville we had no house mom, but I didn't wear a garter. I had a little bag that I kept my money in because our GM said that wearing garters made us look trashy. Now I'm used to not wearing one, I still use my little bag everywhere I go.

    Keeping dollars in your garter for the sake of showing you're able to make money and "popular" sounds like Minnie Pearl keeping price tags on her hats IMO. Tacky, just tacky. Anybody that actually has money doesn't want anyone to know how much they have. It only appears that you're trying to show off. Most girls exchange singles, tip out with them, or keep them in a locker, purse. I'd rather everyone think I have no money at all. What does it matter anyway, they either like you or not, how much others liked you ealier has no reflection on their percepetion of you. I think it looks silly when new dancers walk around with a wad of money 1"-2" thick tied up in a rubberband on their garter, especially when they put the larger bills on top. For the same reason you tell noone how much you make, your money is none of anyone's business but your own. I thik you're only opening up doors for trouble. Have you ever tried one of the little "pouches" that ties around your wrist? That way your money is covered up, yet still accessable to you.

    Hmm...I have mixed feelings on this. I see girls that wear their money to wear it shows, and I don't really think that it looks tacky. In fact if I were to do this - I wouldn't because I'd end up losing my money, I already know - my reasons would be, not so that I'd look popular, but to remind people that I sit with would be able to enjoy my company while being visually reminded that my company is not a free service.

    I do understand the points made against it though. I think it just comes down to what makes you feel comfortable, and what you think will get you maximum earnings. If you're the flashy type - then be flashy, there's nothing wrong with it if it works for you. If it does work for you - don't stop doing it because someone says its tacky, unless its a rule. Different stuff works for different people. I'm ramblin' now.

    Honestly? I've done both and haven't seen a difference in my bottom line. I tend to keep my $$ rubber-banded on my garter now, simply because I've seen many a dancer's purse get stolen or "misplaced". I like the security of knowing my cash is safe. One less thing for me to worry about.

    And yeah, like Pooka said....def. reminds custys that I'm at work, and I'm not sitting with them because of their dashing good looks or sparkling wit

    I like keeping mine rubberbanded to me because, as the girl above said, i need to have my cash in my site at all times to know i didn't lose it. Or my purse. Or had it stolen. Or whatever.

    As soon as I'm paid or after I walk off stage, I take the money that's scattered all around my garter and put it in one pile and rubber band it immediately. I'm afraid if I don't rubberband it that it'll fall out or someone will grab it easily as I walk by. I do see girls in my club walking around with their money all over their garter and I don't think one way or another about it just that I'd be afraid that it would fall out or get stolen. I do not think it's tacky, maybe I'm the flashy type but I like having a big wad rubberbanded on my garter, but prefer that wad not be all singles, it be filled with 20's, some 50's and 100's. I'm really anal and usually what I do when I have time is I separate my money throughout the night, I'll put the singles all together, the 5's, etc. I like to have an idea how much I have through out the night and doing it that way helps me keep track of it.

    I say, do whatever you feel works for you and don't worry about what others think and don't always worry about what customers say, they talk a lot of $hit, for all you know, he could have been f$cking with you to be mean.

    I keep the big bills on the garter covered in a couple $1s so no one tries to snatch it off my leg. I'm phobic about being ripped off.

    I don't care what people think...I can't handle a whole shift wondering if the money in my locker is being jacked with....

    I think what's best depends on what is normal for your club. At mine, the norm is keeping our money rubber banded on our garters. However, I do thin out my wad on busier nights. I like to look in demand, but also don't want to advertise that "she's making enough tonight anyway... I'll get a dance from someone else..."

    Also... the decision on how you keep your money during the night is about security too!! I never used to stash any of my wad in my locker until the first time a customer hugged me and tried to rip my wad off of my leg!!! After that, I NEVER keep more than $200 on me at once, and even that is pushing it. I especially am mindful of how much I keep on me when the club is packed. I don't trust anyone.

    I probably shouldn't mention this... but NEVER leave your garter with even the most "trustworthy," "nice" customer. A girl at my club who actually wasn't new to the game left hers with a customer and lost her money for the night. I can't believe she was that retarded. Keep it on your person at all times or locked up!!!

    I tried a week without keeping money on me.... i tried keeping big bills out and then i tried small bills out (rolled in a rubber band with ones only showing)

    The ones showing worked the best... I get the best tips that way... Like a reminder to tip me maybe?

    I always keep ALL my money on my garter, because that's the ONLY place it's guaranteed not to disappear. I work too damn hard for my money; I'm not gonna lose it.

    I fold the smaller bills on outside and keep the bigger ones inside. In order. I'm anal about that.

    For me, it either doesn't make any difference at all or it helps a little. The guys look at it and think I must be popular or really good. I work on momentum selling dances too, so the wad on my leg reinforces my popular appearance, which of course helps me sell dances

    The guys who actually avoid spending on me because they think I have too much money are few and far between, and they don't affect my bottom line at all. There's always someone else

    ^^The way I strap my money on, it's not going ANYwhere. I've been doing it 11 years and never lost a single dollar.

    Stack money, insert into garter longways, fold in half over garter. Strap a ponytail holder around the money, 2-3 times to make it firm. It won't go ANYwhere unless you remove it. If someone tries to make a grab for it, you'll feel it way before they can get it off you.

    A purse is too easily "picked up" or "misplaced".

    I don't trust lockers. Too many ways to break into them.

    I rubberband my money around my shoe strap when I'm not using a purse. I don't like money on the garter as a personal aesthetic thing.

    I like to lock my money up in my locker. Although, I have to say, when I worked at lapdance clubs (I do stage dancing only at the moment), it was nice to have my money on my garter as it was easy to make change after lapdances.

    I'm gonna assume your working at Femme Nu, so many of the girls won't quite get why you have a garter with so much money on it. Personally I let it get pretty full. Then when a new custy sits down in front of me I unload my garter into my little stage mattress. I just unzip and stuff. Then at some point in the night I carry the mattress back to the dressing room and shove the money in a locker. But you need to be careful not to let your little mattress out of your site. They're expensive on their own. I think I paid like $60 for mine. It was very nice and scushy. Most Asian customers are more attracted to girls with more money on their garter. They believe money attracts money. If you don't have any or much money on your garter they sometimes assume your bad with money and are there for a bad investment for them. Needless to say I've had a lot of asian customers.

    i've done both and i -do- notice a difference. what works best for me is leaving a 20 on the outside of a SECURELY banded wad. i let it get fairly thick and then i change in ones when it starts to get too heavy. 20 is the price of a dance at my club, so i think it works in some subliminal way. if guys think you make money they think there "must be a reason". its all about what you prefer, but i do suggest one thing: go "all or nothing". either keep money on your garter or don't. lock all of it up after you get off stage if you don't want it on your garter. i know some girls who lock "some" up through the night and then walk around with like 3 or 4 bucks sticking randomly around their garter. *i* think it makes them look like they don't make any money, especialy when other girls are walking around with big rolls.

    Lmao!I wish that was the case- I would've made more money last night!

    I do the rubberband/garter thing. When it gets too thick I turn the ones in, I don't like having too many. I tried the little wristlet thing, but after leaving it on the stage twice after my set I went back to the garter.
    I even wrap my garter around my ankle twice- it's very snug to the point of being almost too tight, my cash isn't going anywhere.

    I've seen many dancers just walk around with their money in hand all night.

    When i worked at this club in Florida I was the only girl who had a purse. This customer commented, (much to my delight) "Ohhh a purse! I see why you need a purse, you make all the money" I liked the way he put that.

    But yea, I'm going to try out the garter thing and see how I do.

    ya, I've done both. I now keep my biggest bills on the outside, so I can say, "I don't think I have change" if asked.... I donno, I like it showing. If keeps me motivated, and safe, b/c I know it's there.

    I definitely don't show the 1's, I'll usually keep a 20 on the outside, I've tried many different ways and keeping a 50 or a 100 I've had guys say, "Look at all that money, you really don't need mine" GRRR!!! But, get a really good response with a 20 on the outside because it's just enough but not too much and not too little, that's just my experience. The only time I change out the 1's is when it gets so heavy it feels like my garter's falling off.
