Delicious internet pals, I need some guidance. I am finally done with my undergrad education and leaving my current field of study (English/ Liberal Arts) for a grad program that's offered online (Public Health, which I also hope is more vocational). I am bursting with excitement at the prospect of being able to be in school without being chained to a classroom (and thereby a particular city, state, etc.). So I think now is the time to become a traveling stripper, because I've wanted to be a Lena/Bridgette/Tina since I was a newbie, because it just sounds so damn cool. I've spent a long time living on the road and in a tent and stuff, so the traveling part isn't a problem. I am mostly wondering about the following things.
1. HOW. How do you go about finding clubs, and what is the booking procedure? (I've only danced at three clubs in my career, so this is a an earnest question.) Does one call? Does one show up and audition in person and hope for the best? Does one email, if applicable, and, I don't know, send some pictures of boobies or something? Also, is SCL a reliable database of clubs that are currently open, and does contact information tend to be current?
2. WHERE/WHEN. Am I correct in my instinct to follow tourism trends, aiming for places that have a fall tourism season when considering trips over the next few months? Offhand, I thought of New England, Colorado, and North Carolina. Am I way off-base, or is the money necessarily where the tourists are?
3. WHAT do you do with your primary residence? Would you recommend even keeping my home base, or would you recommend subletting my portion of a house in FL and arranging a continuous string of bookings? On one hand, it would be nice to have a place to come back to if something fell through, but on the other hand, I'm not excited to pay empty rent.
4. WHO can point me in the direction of a resource that will tell me which states/ counties/ what-have-you require licenses to work? What are the benefits/ drawbacks of working in a place that requires a license? I don't even really know how stripper licenses work, so any information would be appreciated.
And finally...
5. WHY not throw some advice my way about anything you think I should know? I'd be happy to read anything anyone wanted to tell me re: experiences, recommendations, mistakes made, successes had, etc.
