My life as a Stripper

Ive recently started stripping again and I love it........except for the fact that its my first week, and I had forgotten how much pain is included with stripper shoes and pole tricks...

The club that I'm working in now is pretty awesome. its smallish, they have a 5 drink maximum, (which means NO highly stupidly intoxicated strippers falling all over themselves or customers), unless of course they drink all 5 drinks within an hour...I tend to space mine out over the 6.5 hours im working...most of the time, i only end up getting 4 drinks through out the night.....I buy one for myself at the start of the shift and then have the gentleman buy the rest...but never at my request. I wait for them to suggest or ask if Id like a drink...

Im not a presumptuous Stripper. I dont go into work ASSUMING I'm going to push a guy into getting a dance or buying me a drink or giving me money. Any dollar I make, im grateful for and happy with...There are girls that I work with that bitch and complain about "not making any money"...if they go into this industry thinking that way, they NEVER will.

People, men namely, dont want a negative, bitchy complaining woman sitting next to them....They can get that at home....They want someone who they can talk to, a beautiful girl that will lavish attention on them (for the right price of course)....I am the kind of stripper that will sit with a guy for at least a half an hour or longer depending on the vibe Im getting from him...eventually, we can both feel each other and will end up in either the couch dance/private room/champagne court beCAUSE i took that time to talk to them, listen to them and not rush them into anything...sometimes thats all they want/need and they fall...

Yes, there ARE times when im just in a mood where i walk up to a guy and say to him, "(in his ear)MMmmmmmmmmmm...you look like you could use some private time with the hottest girl in here and I am SO ready to get naked and rub my body ALL over you...wanna play with me in the back?" (bite lip, flutter eyelashes)......and either thy take the bait and say yes, or they tell me no. Which is totally fine...

Another thing that I love about this club is that its clean....meaning, ABSOLUTELY NO drugs....and you can tell. none of the women are spacey/crazy/druggy looking...We're all healthy, friendly and nice to each other. There is very little drama.....Which is a rarity for strip clubs.

When someone talks about wanting to become a stripper, they think its easy...they think its an easy buck..........its not.....a few things...its not always about the money...its a painful tiring thing to do and if you dont have it in you, its not going to get you anywhere...nor make you happy and youll end up quitting before you start making the money you think is there....especially when youre a new girl.

Stripper shoes are painful to walk/dance in until you get used to them.....they're expensive...They range anywhere from $30-$200 a pair depending on height, design, color etc....and every stripper needs to have AT LEAST 2 pair......then there's outfits....what kind of outfits do you think look good on you and that will make you money??? what kind of club will you work in/feel comfortable working in? Gown clubs? nude clubs? regular outfit clubs? can you hustle champagne courts/vips/couch dances from guys if thats the primary source of money? (the club i work in, guys rarely tip you on stage and you need to make your money doing dances/vips/champagne rooms)...

Can you dance naked in front of strangers?? Dancing for your significant other is one thing...dancing naked for a room full of strangers that are looking at EVERY FLAW you may/may not have and then judge you for it later on is TOTALLY different...Some men can be pure assholes for no reason whatsoever. and you have to ask yourself if 1) you can handle being criticized and brush it off as just an asshole...2) if you can hold the way the assholes/chick drama makes you feel inside without exploding on the customers........Some WILL be assholes just to see if they can make the stripper cry or piss them off.

Can you move seductively on stage and not just "shake your ass"? most guys want to be enticed. not just see some random pussy shoved in his face.......Im not the pussy shoving type girl. Im also not the "booty clapping" type girl. and as a matter of fact, ive actually had many men watch strippers on stage while I was sitting with them, say "what the fuck is that?! why do strippers do that?! its SO unattractive....shows they have no imagination or creativity."

where as I get compliments because i PERFORM...i sing, i make eye contact, i have pole tricks i do at certain points in the songs...Im more of a burlesque type stripper and i WORK THAT SHIT....but im still sore and tired at the end of the night...but i wouldnt change it for the world.

Having thick skin, and a smart head, will get you far in this business...
