    newb post! uneducated and interested.

    Hey, I'm Layla. I've been seriously considering going into the stripping business for the past month or so. I'm a college student and I'm having trouble making ends meet and need some extra dough. I've been reading this forum for a few days now and have gotten a few of my questions answered but there are some things I'm unsure about that are probably going to sound REALLY obvious and dumb to you. I still intend to go to a club as a customer to observe and get some ideas. Bear with me!

    When you're done doing a dance on stage, what happens? Do you gather up your clothes and cash and run off to the dressing room to get back into them? Or do you get off the stage and onto the floor to immediately start hustling for lapdances? Do you hustle while naked from your stage dance or do you have your stripping outfit on?
    How often do you go back on stage to do a stage dance and do you wear the same outfit each time you go up in one night? So it's kind of like a repeat performance? Or do you do a brand new show?

    Also, I do not have a car and I'm really unsure as to how I will get to and from the club. Public transportation in this stupid town stops running at 10:30 and I would not feel safe riding a bike home with all of my gear at 2:30 in the morning. Suggestions? It's not that far from my apartment but I don't want to have to call a cab every time I go to work.

    And when I go to audition should I just "ask for the manager" like any other job?

    Any tips or advice is much appreciated! Thanks, girls.

    Hello Layla. I wouldn't consider myself and very experienced dancer but I have danced before and I am currently looking to get back into it soon.
    Check out this website...

    http://www.stripper-faq.org/

    This was a great help to me back when I was first thinking of trying stripping. Just don't always don't take everything you read to heart...everyone's stripping experiences will vary greatly.

    Have you ever visted a strip club as a customer before? It sounds like you may not have. Is it possible for you to go and check out the club you want to work? This will give you a better feel for the way things work.

    As far as transportation you are better taking a cab...it is very much worth the money. Your personal safety should always come first.

    Good luck to you !

    Where are you in Oregon? All clubs are different, but also, in my experience they really vary from town to town. If you let us know specifics, girls from your area can help you out. P.M me if you don't want to make it public.

    Ava, thank you so much for that site! I wish I could karma you like I can on another forum.

    Where in Oregon are you? I haven't stripped yet but I've been doing quite a bit of research since I'm in pretty much the same position.

    As for transportation I know the bus system can be crappy unless you're in a metro area. I say take a cab and definitely have some pepper spray or something on hand.

    Go to a club as a custy and that could give you some insight as to the routine of things. Also will help you figure out what you're allowed to wear etc. I haven't visited an Oregon strip club yet but I believe most of them are full nude.

    I'm in Eugene and the bus system here sucks, so I'm going to have to go with cabs, I guess. It won't be too bad, I'm not that far from anything.

    But yeah, I think your advice is good to go in as a customer and really observe. I do want to get in and audition sometime in the next week though. I hope it goes well!

    ^^^ Cab in the beginning but I know girls (and bouncers) are willing to give rides if the girl needs it. I lived about 4 blocks from the club and didnt want to drive (because id have a couple drinks at work) and I ALWAYS found a ride from work. The most awkward one being with my manager... who used to be a bouncer. I dont know why - it was just weird... LOL

    It's good to go visit clubs in person that you are interested in working in ! Many of your questions will be answered by watching what is going on.

    Like everyone's said, this will vary from club to club. I remember when I started, I'd call a club up first and ask when they would let me audition, and I'd throw in one or two questions like what was the appropriate dress....cause some places want you to have a certain kind of t-back of whatever.

    Usually if you're dancing on main stage, you will go around and pick up your tips and clothes (while still on the main stage), and then go back into the dressing room. There is often a curtain connecting the two. Sometimes however, you'll have to walk down a set of stairs and over to the dressing room.

    Some clubs make you wear a robe or cover yourself when picking up tips from the mainstage. Again, this varies by club. Ask the management what the rules are for collecting your tips. This can be important if they are trying to follow specific laws for their area.

    Some clubs have more than one stage. If you've finished dancing on a small stage (not the main stage), you'd probably have to get dressed again right there on that small stage (or get off so the next girl can get on and get dressed right there). Again, it depends on the club.

    How many times you get on stage depends on the club and day of the week. Usually on a busy night like a Friday or Saturday you will go on less because there are more girls. But if they have multiple stages, they might open them up on those busy nights.

    Normally, after dancing on main stage, I'd have to freshen up because I'd get sweaty. But I wouldn't spend too long in the dressing room, because being on stage is your best advertisement for yourself. So get out there and start asking for a dance as soon as you can.

    I'd usually switch my outfit on stage at least every other time. It depends on the rotation of the crowd. If you see the same faces, try to mix things up the next time you're on stage. Usually a different choice of music will naturally bring out a different part of my personality, and it'll make me dance differently. See what works for you.

    I've never hustled anywhere but on the floor and with my outfit on....just my experience.

    Good luck!

    I know I haven't had a chance to meet up with you (I got nasty sick and went home to my mommy ) but I wanted to answer your questions here while I have the chance.

    1. At my club when you're done dancing, you immediately gather your tips and outfit off the stage, and then get off. You want to do this quickly so the next girl doesn't miss much of her song. Some girls get dressed at the bottom of the stairs, but most carry all of their stuff over to the dressing room or the minor booth to get dressed.

    2. After you get dressed, its a good idea to start hustling for lapdances, especially from the people who were watching you from a distance while you were on stage. But NEVER approach customers at the tip rail during another girl's turn. Its considered very rude.

    3. If you're on the floor, hustling, you must be clothed. Besides that its the rules, you don't wanna give it away for free anyway.

    4. Its a good idea to talk to customers a little bit while dancing, and to ask for a dance from them towards the end of the song. As a minor, this will be important for you since you're not allowed on the floor.

    5. How much you go up on stage depends on how many girls are working. Its usually every half hour or so. But it could be anywhere from every 10 minutes to more than an hour in between stage sets. If there are a lot of girls, we open up both stages.

    6. Some girls change for every stage set, but if you're really hustling and its busy enough, you probably won't have time to be in the dressing room that much. I end up changing like 4 times a night. Guys don't really get bored of the same outfit over and over, because its what you're doing up there that matters. But I think they do like to see something fresh on you.

    7. I think I already answered this in PM's, but if I were you I'd take the EMX express bus to work (if you end up at my club) and then a cab home. Also, you can sometimes get rides home from other girls. But the cab is usually only like 10 dollars or so.

    8. When you audition, just walk in and tell anyone official looking (bouncer, d.j., bartender) that you would like to audition. They'll find you the right person or tell you what to do. They might not make you audition if you're hot enough

    I think I got all of your questions, so I hope that helps!

    Thanks for all of the great advice--I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to take the plunge as soon as I turn 21 (in November). I'll be lurking around here getting tips until then though! You guys rock.

    Hey Laylalust.
    I'm lurking around this site too until I 'take the plunge' also in November after I finish exams and can get a car also.
    The advice on here is awesome.
    Good luck for when you do audition and let us know how you go.

    I just wanted to throw in that you should be making enough money to afford a short cab ride to and from work.

    Hang out around here for a bit and a lot of your questions will be answered. And there is nothing like experience, Jump in there ! If you aren't old enough to work topless, go nude. That's how I started and nothing like going naked the first time to get over the stage fright. BY the time you are old enoughto check out the topless bar, you will already have gotten your feet wet.

    Good Luck

    "Layla" has now been working for about a month now at my club and is doing an excellent job. I'm really proud of her, she's definitely one of those girls that are cut out for stripping.

    I'm pretty sure that all Oregon bars are fully nude, whether you're a minor or not. But hey, she's turning 21 today! Happy B-day girly... I can't wait till your first shift as a 21 year old! (I'm gonna get you trashed)

    Thanks guys! "Lily" has been an enormous help to me--I don't know what I'd have done without her. I'm really enjoying dancing and will definitely stick with it for a while! Thanks for all your advice and input.
