    Tampa ...All or Nothing???

    I am moving to Tampa in 6 months to go to school and hopefully to start working. I have been reading posts and club reviews about all the clubs in Tampa. It seems like you have to be a 10 with no body fat to work in a descent club (like Mons or 2001), or you are stuck working in a hell hole like lipstixx. What gives? And all are high mileage. Thanks in advance.

    you do -not- have to be a "10" to work at 2001 or mons. you have to be skinny... but skinny doesn't make a "10". however, most places in tampa are either high mileage to extras.. there are very few "clean" clubs left... which is why we get so many tourists who come in "excited" because they've "heard what goes on in tampa". i've worked at 5 clubs, and most of the ones i haven't worked at i wouldn't even step foot in. of the clubs i've worked, only one is nearly totaly clean (which is where i'm at now) and that's thee dollhouse. the other i can think of that is "mostly" clean, but it's bikini and blue collar (fist club i worked at) is called class act. mons and 2001 are both good money makers, but you -have- to be able to deal with other girls doing more (esp at 2001).

    dollhouse is selective with hiring, but not ridiculous (esp if you have experience). the management and staff is excellent (imo) and the customers tend to be out of towners/business guys staying at the hotels. there are regulars as well, but they usualy are regulars with MONEY. the earning potential is just as high as mons/2001 at nights IF you know how to hustle. if you don't, i suggest working days first. i choose to work mostly days anyways just because of my school scedule. they do -not- tolerate extras or drug use. also, dollhouse is a little bit more lax on looks for dayshift, but not totally. you still have to be fit and attractive, but they'll hire girls who aren't toned yet and etc, but within reason. they still try to uphold an image. you DO have to know how to sell/talk to guys on dayshift though, since there are girls who've been doing this for awhile on shift (like myself ) also, if you are hired for days, nights can be a possibility in the future if you ask.

    oh and i wanted to add... the REASON or the "what gives" to the selective hiring thing is because of this:
    there are so many clubs and so many dancers in tampa that the upscale clubs can afford to be picky about girls. it isn't as if "supply is limited". it also helps (the clean clubs) that so many clubs are dirty... because there are a LOT of classy dancers who've become fed up with the dirty clubs and are looking for clean work.

    Good insight, I really appreciate it as I was starting to get a little worried. I guess the best thing to do would be go check out the clubs or call around...

    Vikki is the hiring manager at mons from Thurs-Sat and is a very sweet woman. You really don't have to be a 10, but Penny is correct where you do have to be slim. Basically, if your sweet to her and are skinny you will get a job.

    Also, all dances at Mons are given out in the open, there are NO extras, but its a hard hustle and across the street is is way easier to get a job, but extras do go on.

    ^^^

    yes probley if you are tall. they do not want to see any bodyfat on you.
    yes, this is the only club i'm aware of that is that strict. a 6 would be a no i think. it has been years but when i worked there i saw them turn away lots of beautiful girls. send girls home in tears told to lose 10 pounds before they could come back.
    a SW'er has written about them telling her she was to fat to work there, maybe she will chime in

    I'm 6'1 and could not be a 1 or 0 if I was anorexic. I have wide hips naturally so I am not sure about the weight thing. My weight isn't tiny but usually if I do tell someone how much I weight they say they would have never guessed I weighted that much. SO confused?! I feel like it would not even be worth checking it out now. I don't want to cry lol.

    give it a shot, you will see there are a lot of girls that don't fit their "standards" that still work there! it really is just a crap shoot I think. sometimes a girl who you don't think will get hired, gets hired. and a girl you think they cannot possibly turn away, gets turned away.

    I heart Vicki!!! She's there on Wed nights also.

    Like Kalli said, give it shot because what do you have to lose? Seriously, the place is filled with girls of all shapes.

    And Kalli, do you still work there now? Because I know of a girl that works there that goes by the name Kalli also.

    I was hired at both 2001 and Mons and am FAR from a 0-1!!! (I'm more in the large 5-7ish range) Of course this was 2+ years ago, so maybe things have changed. (?)

    Urmm I guess I will just have to go check it out. Do any of you ladies even enjoy dancing in Tampa lol?? It seems more stressful than most places. I would really love to dance back home where there are some great clubs this summer before I move, but I would be too afraid of people I know/parents friends, stuff like that.

    Bella...like everyone else has said, you don't know until you try. I work at Mons right now, and what I was told they look for is someone with a proportionate body- from face, to stomach to ass...it's all part of the general package. I, for one, enjoy my job, mainly cuz I do it for the fun. It's only stressful here if you let it get to you. As for me, I just do my job, try and be friendly with my coworkers, and stay out of everyone's way as much as possible. But yes, I do agree that if it's a clean club you're looking for, you can't go wrong with Mons.

    I've danced at mons before, and I'm wondering if $$ now is much better then october/november was.

    I might go in tomorrow. I really want a club where I can go out that night and still be able to work. I pretty much can't go out to dinner or anything on nights I work currently.

    Is vikki there wednesdays? about what time?

    I think she gets there around 8:00 or 8:30.

    I enjoy it also because they don't have much restrictions as in a set schedule, tons of fees, etc...and everyone is pretty nice. Just like Christy said, it's only stressful if you let it be stressful, but I guess you can say that about any other job. Definitely one of the cleanest clubs around.

    Vicki will watch you like a hawk from that high chair. LOL

    Right now, it's not too bad moneywise because lately there have been many guys down golfing and there are always businessmen that come in there at night during the week. I've noticed that there is a certain block of time when it's best to hit those guys up and then after that, it gets dead.

    I was told I was too fat and I'm a 2, sometimes a 0. I thought a lot of the girls in the dressing room didn't have attractive faces.

    I read after I auditioned that they don't like to hire girls over 25 and especially not in the summer. I was 32 when I auditioned and it was right in the middle of the summer. She actually made me audition for three songs and then made me go up again after and get naked really quick so maybe she was looking for a reason not to hire me. Who knows. Guys seemed to think I looked okay in other clubs I went to so I'm not sure what her problem was. I have never been back there since.

    Three of my guy friends told me I'd do great there before I auditioned.

    ^ yeah 2001 is nasty. like i said, i know girls who've worked there who DON'T do extras. i'd hate to imply that everyone there does, but it does happen, and A LOT from what i understand. if i was ok with high contact, i'd work at mons. i just can't handle that right now.

    I worked there for a year and was one of the two girls who didn't do extras. The vip areas there, literally, smell like sex. The money potential was good, but as a non-extras girl, I always had to hustle HARD and talk a really good game. Most men expected extras. Honestly, that place really fucked with my head. I quit dancing and had a break down after being there for a year. I don't recommend it unless you have REALLY, realllllllly thick skin, and are comfortable competing with whores (and, being treated like one by the majority of custies).

    A pretty good rule of thumb is this. If the club does "private dances", chances are, somethings going on. Or put it this way, girls are given the chance to offer more. But even where dances are in the open, there will be girls that allow more touching. It's just harder. For example, I've been told from night shift girls at Mons that they won't work day shift, because girls there allow more contact, and management isn't too strict about it then.

    There are some clubs that have private areas, but they may have a good floorman/VIP girl that keep it clean at night. But you won't know that until you work there.


    Some of the "cleanest clubs" from my experience during night-shift (in the Tampa bay area, in addition to Mons and Dollhouse:
    Penthouse - there is a VIP area, but most dances are done on the floor
    Bliss - again, there is a VIP area, but there is a floorman there
    Baby Dolls - clean, but its a little whole in the wall & not much money there
    Peek-a-boo - clean, but way south in Bradenton
    Pandora's Box - again, it's south in Palmetto


    ~Big Rich

    PS. in the Tampa Bay area, including surrounding counties, there are over 50 clubs.

    I don't understand why Mons only hires skinny skinny girls... what is the definition of skinny anyways??

    I'm 5'7 almost 5'8... for me to be a size 0-2 I'd have to be 105-110 pounds.. and I'd look sickly. I'm 130 right now, 18.5% bodyfat.. but since I'm not a size 2 (i'm a size 4-6) they wouldn't hire me, correct?

    Big Rich, I work both days and nights at Mons, and though they may try and push the envelope more on days, I have never had an issue with a customer getting pissy once I told them that there would be no touching of the cookie...I guess it comes down to being kind but firm to get your point across, and it'll work out fine....or maybe I'm just an exception...I would hope not tho.
