    Default tampa area- want to get started.

    Hello... I'm interested in getting in the business of exotic dancing. I've been thinking about it for awhile, ever since i quit my last job. You see... I'm a vegan, and I have moral issues with working at a restaurant or any other business establishment that exploits animals/dairy/etc and wastes food, and runs on big-corporation rules and guidelines, so that leaves me with the option of being jobless or a stripper, especially in Tampa where i live, because the majority of places I'm eligible to work at are big corporations, franchises, chains, etc. Not my thing.

    The reason I want to be a stripper is because I know I would be good at it, I OWN my sexuality and i'm extremely magnetic with men, I'm an excellent conversationalist and I know I could use these things to my advantage to make money, it beats working 40 hours a week at 8/hr. any day.. plus I have sort of a dance background, I danced ballet for 6 years and I was a competitive level figure skater until around age 16, so I'm in shape and know how to move.. i think

    My questions are for dancers in the Tampa vicinity. I'm looking for a classy, low contact, topless w/ g-string (at the minimum, no full nude... yet?) club with mostly older men as clientele. I've heard that thee dollhouse was the best club in tampa from 2 dancers I met at a bar (random, b/c i never go to bars)

    so... is this true and what club in Tampa do you think I'd be happy with?

    exactly.. also.. I don't want to deal with immature 18 year old boys. I think 25+ would be the age group I would be most comfortable with. I don't think I'd be as comfortable with the college aged group because that's my age range, and there's something about stripping that makes it sort of a separate identity... a show.. like playing a part in a movie and I wouldn't want to come that close to reality.

    if that makes any sense...

    Awwww, Svetachka......

    You are looking for that perfect club. I don't think it exists. You will have to deal with young guys your age and contact. But you are very confident, it sounds like you will do well.

    Also, if you stand against exploitation, then you won't exactly find liberation amongst strippers. It CAN be empowering, but you will also see things that might make you feel worse than corporate america. AND, most stripclubs serve steaks. They are man places with man food.

    If you believe in these things so much, why don't you work for a non-profit company that focuses on an area you believe in strongly? Of course, the pay isn't great, but I know some women who work for non-profit that make a very decent living. Either way, good luck with your search!

    thee dollhouse is the best clean topless club IMO (i work there now). we get a lot of older business men because of our location near the hotels. as was mentioned, no club is without it's problems, but dollhouse would be a good place for you to start. you -probably- won't be able to work nights as a new girl. some girls are not allowed to work nights, some can work both nights and days, it depends. i can do some nights here and there, but i choose to work dayshift. you generaly have to go to am night to try out, but if you PM me i can work something out with our day manager so that you can audition early in the afternoon some day.

    on the contact.. dollhouse is low contact and guys trying to get away with more are usualy taken care of very quickly. i will say this though.. guys will try to get away with more at ANY club. you HAVE to be prepared for that mentaly. DH is the 5th club in tampa i've worked at and, honestly, i deal with less grabbing here than i did anywhere else, but it still happens. it's just resolved very quickly if you handle it right. also, the staff at dollhouse is awesome. i've never had a problem with anyone being unprofessional (which i had tons of problems with at past clubs).

    Katrine.... for the time being, the city I'm in doesn't allow for much profit to be made by working at any of our almost nonexistent non-profit organizations.. I tried to work for an environmental petitioning organization a while ago and got ripped off .. long story. I really want to dance, I think it would be a much better option.

    Penny- I've never actually been to thee dollhouse, I'd like to come check it out someday with a friend before I actually go in to audition so I know what to expect

    I pm'ed you

    ^ i PMd you back. along with what i said in the PM... if you want to come in during the day and "check it out" let me know. wether it's to audition or just to watch and maybe talk to our manager. i can let him know ahead of time. plus, the club (and most do) tends to frown on females coming in without a male escort. the only exceptions we have are lesbian couples.

    oh and also, if you come in to audition, the manager will let you sit for awhile and watch, check out the club, etc. it isn't as if he'll force you to get on stage.

    Another club to check out would be the Penthouse Club, right down the street from Thee Dollhouse. Or there is Bliss across the bay.

    I'm kind of apprehensive about thee dollhouse though... from what I've heard girls usually start off at small hole in the wall clubs and then move on to the nice ones... would me going straight to DH with no experience be a mistake?

    I also heard that the girls there are top-caliber, I know I'm not horrible unattractive, but I dont know if I'm the caliber they would be looking for?.. especially because I have a pretty big tattoo.. it's about 11 inches, on my hip:

    Look, if you can start in a nice club, start in a nice club. Be confident.

    Regarding your tattoo, Penny and I were just having that discussion.

Has that changed, or are you the exception?

    LOL and good luck. As you're from the area, you must realize that there is no such animal. As many clubs as there are in Tampa you would think that there would be at least one that fit the description. To be perfectly frank, and no offense to dancers working that city...there are always exceptions to the rule...but that area is worse than any I've ever heard of as far as drugs, disease and overall skankism and the clientel is a reflection of it (or vice/versa). Not for the faint-of-heart. The clubs mentioned are probably way above the average though.

    You seem like you've got a background not suited for the Tampa SC scene and I'd probably suggest, if you can't put up with a better restaurant like Bern's or Catch 23, to find a good bar to work at like Whiskey Park in SOHO. You'll be able to make a G+ every week and avoid a lot of...

    pfffffft. i'm tattooed. hell, i'm a suicidegirl and i work there. it's a "whole package" thing. the only thing that would be a deal breaker is being really out of shape. you can work there as a new dancer, but like i said, they'll "probably" want you to work dayshift only (which is 2pm-8 or 9pm) for awhile. the size of your tattoo will only be an issue if they're already thinking of not hiring you. as in, it would be another "strike" against you, but if you're pretty, in shape and have a good attitude, it shouldn't be a problem.

    oh and ACTUALY, although they prefer girls who've worked before because they "know what they're doing" they'd RATHER the girls start out on their dayshift so that they don't bring the "bad habits" of other clubs with them.
