    Default Topless Waitressing - Advice?!

    Hi
    I used to dance at Men's Gallery in Melbourne, the money was great and the girls were lovely but I think it requires a certain kind of maturity and I just wasnt ready for it so I only lasted two weeks. And the hours meant I was working until 5am some nights and then going to uni, much respect goes out to the girls who manage to do that but I just wasnt ready.
    Recently I have been thinking about getting back into it and stumbled across topless bartending instead and was wondering if anyone has any advice as it seems a little seedy. It's a company that organises topless waitresses/strippers for private functions and would involve me being at a private home alone, and the guy I have been speaking to about a job requires me to send himi pictures for the website even before I start working there.
    I was wondering if this is normal or am I just being paranoid and should just go for it. any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Well... what are you planning on your future being like? If it's teaching or politics... I wouldn't recommend sending anyone naked pictures... Or, if your family doesn't know what you do, that's another thing to consider. I've never done topless waitressing, but I can only assume that you will be subjected to the same kind of crap and idiots at a club. I don't think dancing takes maturity, I think it takes a certain state of mind. You could ask him for the contact information of some of the girls who are currently working for him. See what they say.

    I don't think it's seedy that he wants your pictures (since I'm assuming that's how you'll be picked for a job), but I'm just warning you of the possible consequences. Not to discourage you since, once again, I've never done topless waitressing.

    thanks for your advice, my problem with sending him pictures wasnt that he would have pictures of me but that he was putting them on the website before i had a job. so if i didnt get the job my pictures would still be used for promotion of his company without me recieving any compensation. is there anyone who knows a good company in melbourne to waitress for, either topless or lingerie....anything that pays better than mcdonalds.....

    You could be a topless barmaid at Hosies or the Royal Hotel, though I wouldn't call either of those 'good' places to work.

    ^He told you that? LAME! Then he's doing the switcharoo with his uglies?

    Have you checked to see if there are any peepshows in your area? Those are a peice of cake, IMO.

    There are peeps in Melbourne, all owned by Club X, which is not a nice company to work for. Still, some girls handle it fine.

    Hi Ebony Kat

    Topless bartending or waitressing can be just as fierce as doing club work! Things to remembr are always have security with you, dont go to the job alone (again always have security) for the first few times try to work with other girls and learn how to handle the guys!

    You should be getting paid anywhere between $50 and $60 p/h for topless (wearing a skirt on the bottom) and $70 for g-string and $100+ for nude.

    Never should you be asked to go to a private party where there are less then 4 guests, unless the agency has informed you that you will be with less guests then that!

    Also re: photos to the agency, this is a standard practice! You must be on my companies website before receiving work - no photos = no work! It is vital for the client to see who they are booking!

    I would be very wary of an agency asking to use your photographs for promotional items unless
    1. they own your photographs (they have copyright) or
    2. they have written permission from you along with a model release form from both you and the photographer permitting use of the photographs!

    It also pays to be listed with more then one agency as melbourne has some very busy weekends and not so busy weekends!

    If you choose to go exclusive with one agency, ensure you know what your agreeing to!

    If you need any more help, my email is [email protected] and my contact is 0433299173.

    I also run an agency, although it is not the biggest, I have been told by many of my staff I am the most organized and pay rates (gosh I love blowing my own trumpet)

    Also re: Hosies, you must keep in mind they expect you to do shows for $70 for big groups! I would not recommend doing shows for under $100!

    Royal Hotel = nice friendly venue, I have no idea what the girls think about working there, but I have spoken to the manager for business related tasks, and they were very helpful!

    Thanks

    I have to agree that Topless Waitressing is just as competative as working in a strip club! There are still politics to contend with and people saying crap about you which isn't true and the worst part is... you don't hear about it until someone is 'nice' enough to inform you so all sorts of stuff can be said about you to the agents and you wouldn't have a clue!

    If you are reliable, pretty, socialable, flirtatious then you will do well with Topless Waitressing.

    If you can deal with being in the same environment as the all the guys for 2 hours or longer then you will bank. If you are finding the clients difficult at the booking, you can't "run away" until the booking is over UNLESS they really are treating you harshly in which case you would call the agency (who booked the party for you) and tell them what is happening and why you are leaving early.

    ALWAYS GET YOUR MONEY UP-FRONT and store it some place secure.

    You will also definately need your own car and/or someone to be your driver (and/or security). Do not rely on taxis to get you to your bookings. You must have a driver even if it is yourself!

    Plus if you are just starting and you are not overly familiar with the Melbourne (and I don't just mean the city you will booked all over the place) then you may want to invest in a one of those in car navigation systems. This way you will not get lost and get to each booking on time.


    Oh and not ALL topless waitressing is done at private parties. There are quite a few pub venues and these are great! I love doing topless (not lingere, not bikini - topless) at pub venues as you can generate some great tips from them (even if it is only change from getting the drinks... that change adds up pretty quick!).

    Also, when you do "change out" the tips at the end of your topless shift at any pub you have worked within do leave the bar staff a tip. I always do. They are the ones pouring the drinks and plus (since I have worked in hospitality previously) I know how much tips are appreciated.
