    Default I want to LOOK like a stripper!

    ***posted in another section on mistake, but no one answered anyways. Is there no hope for me? LOL***

    I have been depressed about my stripper persona since I cut my hair to a chin-length bob with the back tapered. While the cut is great for everyday life, its not stripperrific. I love my red hair, but I'm not sure it works for the custies. My ex told me i looked better when my hair was blonde and wavy (like mariah carey's hair color).

    I was talking with another dancer and we were discussing how the most sucessful dancers have certain look that fits into a box. You know that I mean; the young & fresh girl next door, the blonde bombshell, the glittery club rat and so on.

    I tried the whole burlesque-ish 40's movie star look, but it was getting old and now that I cut my hair I cant do that either.

    Its frustrating because I cant seem to find a gimmick. I look young, but Im not white so I cant be the girl next door, I dont have a particularly curvy figure so I cant be a bombshell. I'm average hieght, average wieght, average boob size (34B) average looking, average average average....

    Gotta get an edge here, a character; a "look."

    I am posting a picture, sorry its not recent, but just imagine me with a bob cut.
    you can see one here http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/att...9&d=1172958107

    Suggestions?

    When I cut my hair in a bob last year I felt the exact same. Are you just not used to having short hair? If that's what's bothering you, you could try clip-in extensions for a day and see how that works. Most of the girls at my club with short hair go for the dark exotic look and they seem to pull it off. I think strippers with short hair is sexy cuz it shows more of your neck.

    I used to date a chick with your lovely skin tone, your build, and she had a dark bob.

    She did the Cleopatra thing, and went by "Egypt" at work. Lots of kohl eyeliner, shimmery deserty colored eyes, slinky gold outfits, lotsa gold jewelry.

    a wavy blond wig would look good with your complexion. why are you hogging all the hot guys?

    Strippify pretty much means Barbie-fy. Do you really want to go there?

    It works though, even for women of color.

    Its not only my hair, its more an issue of finding a look based on my looks that would make me attractive to more customers...if that makes sense.

    The customer base that finds me attractive is a narrow one. While my hustle is decent and I can get by, there's got to be more that I can do with myself to expand that base.

    maybe i am being cerebral, but people trust a look and when you dont fit that, they less likely to want to spend. For example, i never wear asymetrical outfits b/c the eye "likes" symetry. i wear makeup in a way so that my eyes look farther apart b/c people "trust" people with wider set eyes than close set ones.

    Its the same reason why blondes are generally more sucessful/popular in the adult biz (percieved younger, sluttier, acessible), big breasts will always be preferred over smaller ones (percieved fertility), why black girls are expected to have huge asses and sound ignorant (percieved cheapness, social expectation), its why everyone wants to do the girl next door (percieved virginity) etc etc etc...

    I dont care what anyone says about sales skills, if a guy doesnt find you attractive at first glance, he wont spend, no matter what comes out of your mouth (thus the "NO." thread).

    This whole thing sounds wierd, but if i am going to survive in this biz at all (i said im giving myself 5 years), some changes need to be made, because a few books on sales training is not gonna help.

    ***holy fuck, i sound insane but i assure its totally rational, lol***

    Its just time to upgrade my game, feel me ladies?

    if you go blonde, big boobs, etc....you might want to fit the part of what guys expect of that. The ditzy airhead act has served me well, but not everyone can (or wants to) do it.

    You're right though. Sales skills are what sells the product, but a sexy exterior is what gets you noticed. It's a double whammy.

    If you got a wig, maybe long and wavy blonde, I could totally see you rocking the glam/diva look.

    I don't know..it's tough to give advice about this stuff.

    Your sales skills are very good, i can see you (i looked at the pic) in dark shiny hair, (you have dark eyes) darker brows, and perhaps extensions for longer hair (or a good quality wig)

    You have that whole Naomi Campbell thing going on when she had that long dark hair...fuckin beautiful woman.

    I think the light colour is doing nothing for the complexion on you.

    By far no expert, we all know that. But i see you with dark hair that's long and darker eyebrows all glam.

    You seem to have a lighter complexion, and the light colours are not making anything stand out. Dark will bring it out IMHO

    Can you explain the hair cut a little more maybe post a picture? I have short hair very short, It works very well for me.. I have the stack wedge in the back with being longer in the front, like Jenna Jameson's. It's a lite blonde like hers.. This hair cut works very well for me, all the other girls at my club have long hair, so this really makes me stand out. i pair with a rhinestone chocker to really emphasize my neck.

    I think the egypt thing would be amazing! And it's a hard type to pull off, but with your tone and statuesque-ness, you would look amazing.

    ^^^^ Exactly - like one in a hundred girls can pull it off. Gotta be just the right skin tone, just the right height, dramatic face structure - and the confidence.

    I think it would work for you.

    I worked with a beautiful Jamaican girl that wore a weave because she felt it helped her make money (catering to the desire men have to see a whole lot of hair.) She was very delicate, more of a model face & figure....not overly sexual. She had a lot of poise too.

    I think certain women have to sharpen their hustle & intution to pick out the guys who fetishize their look. (This goes for me too, I get these types of dudes & they make my skin crawl but it's my JOB to entertain them.)

    Oooh yeah, Foxy Cleopatra! You'd look great with dramatic cat eyes.

    I think a sexy disco diva look would be nice on you. Get some sexy, stretchy metallic halter tops and wear makeup, bracelets, and heels to match. Metallic gold in particular would look great on you, and is always a head turner.

    I LOOOOOVE the 60s/70s Penthouse cartoon Wicked Wanda. She had the coolest costumes that were very stripperish. Check it out: http://www.subtextopedia.com/Wanda/stories.html . I think you'd look bangin' in similar outfits, maybe a costumer/house mom could whip some up for you. I think you'd look amazing in deep (but bright) purple as well. Pair a purple outfit with some glossy red lips and, puuuuuuuuurrrrrr!!!!!

    Also, while your hair is short you can rock a stripper-fied flapper look. Maybe get one of those pearl thongs, and layer it over a regular thong. Then get a long strand of matching pearls to wear as a necklace. Twist it around by your boobs while you're on stage to draw attention to those babies!

    Theres a gal at one of my clubs who BANKS off a menswear look. Very short hair slicked up into a faux hawk, wears a necktie, a g-string, fishnets, and stilettos. The guys go NUTS when shes on stage!

    I think you should go for the Black Barbie stripper look. Blonde Barbie won't look as good on you. You are very tall and statuesque with great features. Get a wig or preferably extensions that are loose wavy (think victorias secret hair) and hits between mid back and waist length. I think dark hair would be best. Do your makeup with fake lashes and super glossy lips.

    Honestly, I think the Barbie look is the best stripper look - whether it's Blond Barbie, Black Barbie, Latina Barbie, etc. It's best to appeal to the widest group of people possible and pretty much everyone likes glam and pretty.

    A pretty fair point - it's good old first impressions at work as far as looks are concerned. "She looks hot - wonder what she's like to talk to?"

    Are you being over cerebral?

    At the end of the day most of us guys want to buy into the illusion/fantasy that your primary motivation is enjoyment out of dancing, with money secondary.

    If you're being this analytical about your ideal look, isn't there the risk of coming across as artificial? You want to come across as naturally sexy, not 'identikit' sexy.

    Remember also, we guys react to more blunt stimuli than women - subtle doesn't always work.

    If you want a bit of an illustration as to how a guy's mind works, go out wearing a pleasing looking t-shirt and see how many guys look at you. Next go out wearing the same t-shirt without a bra. (Doesn't have to be blatant, just noticeable).

    In real terms we can't see any more of you without the bra, but the lack of one does something to the male psyche and we take more notice.

    Same thing with your look inside the club; it doesn't have to make you look good in the supermodel sense - but it has to push the male buttons.

    I've looked at your photo, and you seem easy enough on the eye to me. Two things do strike me as a bloke.

    (a) You're tall, and I guess standard stripper shoes are pushing you up further. Some guys feel intimidated by a woman that's significantly taller than they are. Maybe and inch or two off the heel height might help.

    (b) Your make-up makes your face look a lot darker than your skin colour (compared to your stomach and arms). Maybe slightly lighter shades so your make-up looks more natural?

    (Out of my depth on this last one - maybe the ladies would like to comment).

    Phil.

    mmm ur purty...i think u cud pull of the vixen thing..yer body looks very built! you could be a vampish woman, sexy and in control..KNOWING she look good.

    but maybe since u alrady LOOK and come off as a vixen..u cud do the sweet,cutesy thing....so its the best of both worlds!

    i think red would lookg good on you. and white.

    i also think a darker shade of hair wud really look good with yer skin.

    i think also helping with "looking" like a stripper, decide what kind of personality u want to put out there in the club. n then try to work wit that with your fashion. like think about how your personality is normaliy..and maybe just exxtagerate on it.

    me, i think im prety laidback....so my gimmick thing is fun,sweet,and modest. i mean thats how i usually am normally...but i just kick it up a notch at work. n my clothes i wear fun bright stuff and cutesy stuff.

    well hope u find yerself!

    I agree.

    I think you have the face and body to pull this off....dark hair would look hot.

    Hmm, you have a pretty light complexion. You could pull off "being" Brazilian or Latina of some sort. I've noticed guys loooooove Brazilian/Latina girls. Why? Basically what you were saying before about perception. Brazilian girls tend to be perceived as warm, friendly, sociable, inviting, and fun. And from the Brazilians that I've met, I can see why this perception exists. And men eat it up.

    Maybe do some extensions and get that blonde Mariah Carey long hair again, lowlights too would look pretty hot. And finish by drawing on some tanlines with some whitestick or Dermablend or something. Guys will start running to you faster than you can say Rio de Janeiro, because of their perception of this projection.
