Just practice practice practice on the pole 2. Our security guys are amazing and walk us to and from our cars and are good at kicking people out and I also have mace 3. TOO MANY OMG my closet is stacked up with so many platforms
Not uncommon but places I’ve worked extras are kinda left up to the dancers to decide for themselves if they give them. And some girls do meet up with customers after to escort
It's said that strip joints are the "canary in the coal mine" for upcoming recessions. I'm reading that a recession is coming, does that line up with what you're currently experiencing?
Not really. I mean there are good and bad seasons but I have always managed to make a living from this. And even in my best times ever there were a few nights I did shit
I do like my job. Theres good and bad to every job of course but this has been mostly good for me. And if I could do anything I guess working with animals somehow
silverback gorilla in a bikini standing confused on the stage, looks at the crowd and decides to do what he knows best: rears up and beats his chest furiously
I started in 2019. So there was a year there where I wasnt dancing when everywhere was closed. But then when I came back there were rules for a little while about touching and distance and masks but then those went away. And sometimes there are slower seasons so maybe that had to do with the economy but never to the point of thinking I need to do something else
Some nights I make $450 and some nights I make $150. Just depends if it’s a good night or a bad night. And yes weekends are when you want to work if you can
How long do you plan on doing this? Is it a long term plan or a temporary thing? Most the strippers I've known have done it as a temporary side gig for some extra money. Isn't that what most strippers do? I can't imagine a 50 year old wrinkly woman being a stripper.
For most its just a temporary thing yeah. But ive been dancing for like 6 years now and dont plan on stopping super soon. You can only do it for so long before your old but its not like I have an end date in mind right now
Thanks for the response. This thread was very interesting to read as I'm in a similar field. I'm not a stripper but I am a dancer/actress. Although I have noticed that being a dancer does overlap sometimes. Other dancers and some of my friends have been strippers at one point. Some still are. I guess they do require the same amount of showmanship and athleticism.
Sorry didnt get notified for this for some reson. Black opium is like the best work perfume ever. Pink sugar is great. Pretty much anything from the Britney Spears or Ariana grande brands to

Probably a dumb question given your username, but just to clarify:
Do you or do you not have moves like Jagger?

I do indeed move like Mick himself

Excellent!
I hope all your clients can get some satisfaction from that, haha.

Is prostitution common? How has it varied at different clubs you’ve worked at?

Haave you been stripping long enough to be able to see any changes post pandemic?
How resilient is the clientele to economic downturns?

What's the most dangerous situation you've been in while on the job at the club?
CrystalJagger@lemm.ee · 10 pts · 1y
Nothing just super dangerous. A couple guys saying creepy thing or getting handsy but security is good at kicking them out

Glad you're safe. It's a tough business sometimes, and the dancers need to have a shield so they can do what they do.

Reddit was weird so I looked up sites like reddit and this came up
Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
. Did it take any getting used to?
. What are some industry secrets?
. What type of person do strip clubs attract?
. I heard strip clubs can be pretty shady. Can you confirm?
. Where you invested in being an entertainer before this?
CrystalJagger@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y
At first yeah but that was when I was just a waitress. By the time I started dancing I was pretty comfortable
I dont know any real secrets
All kinds of people
Some of them are very shady
And no I didnt know what I wanted to do before this

What type of music is most commonly played? I've been to a few in the past and it's usually trap music.
CrystalJagger@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
Trap and hip hop. I worked at a club that was way more country for a little while tho so just depends
