Ask the Stripper!

[QUOTE=Indygrrl]
We get a feature every few months. For the most part they aren’t anything special. Most haven’t even done movies. The ones we get are all from a certain agency that our company uses. It’s like the generic feature store, lol. They are usually suprisingly chunky and suprisingly bad dancers. I think a lot of them were never house dancers so they never got the stage moves down.

One night we went to a club and there was a feature dancer who was a Hustler centerfold. She came out in a terrible-looking cowgirl costume and could. Not. Dance. Really, she was terrible, no rhythm, no interesting moves, and completely unremarkable in every other way.

How many strip clubs are there in Indianapolis?

Approximately one million. :smiley: Seriously, maybe 30? It seems like we have an abundance of crappy little hole-in-the wall joints and hardly any good choices. My club and one other are just about the only decent places in town to work at. There are more that would appeal to guys, but I obviously look at it from a dancer perspective.

And NajaNivea, again I feel bad speaking out against female customers. There certainly are exceptions to the ones who have acted badly.

What do you tell your daughter about what you do? Do you find it harder to be a stripper and a mother, or does it not make a difference?

So, please correct me if this is too tacky a question, but…

Are you going to give us a link pic, or do you save the view for the paying customers?

I don’t tell her anything. Most of the time I work on nights that she is at her dad’s. And if it’s a Saturday or something I just say that I’m going out. For all practical purposes I tell people that I do freelance work from home.

I find it easier to strip and be a parent than any other job I’ve had. Mainly because I work a fraction of the hours and make more than double what I did working in publishing. Life is easier when you have financial resources and time, and I am a happier person when I am doing what I love.

As for pics, I have posted on here before with them, and I don’t have anything recent, but here is one that is two-years-old:

and one where my body look ok, but I have lost weight and gotten in better shape since then:

Do you have a stripper name?
Have you ever worked in New York?

What’s your favorite stripper movie?

Hey, Indygrrl, just wanted to say that I love your hair in that first pic! Beautiful color. You look fantastic.

Interesting. How old is she? Surely you’ll have to tell her eventually (or she’ll find out), right? Do you have any idea of what you will tell her when she’s an appropriate age to handle it?

I wanted to ask about the erection thing too, but I see it already has been. If I ever went I would walk into the place with an erection! :smiley: I didn’t know if that would be appropriate.

Do customers ever recognize you on the street? If so, how’s the conversation go?

Ever had customers turn into friends you would see outside work?

I’d like to throw in an anecdote here. The first time I visited Atlanta, my buddies and I went to two clubs: The Cheetah Club (which had more really good-looking naked women in it than any other place I’d ever been to in my life) and some seedy little club on Claremont Ave. The women in the latter place–who read their own poetry to the patrons in between sets–were very average-looking women with horrible hair and chunky figures (I’m fat myself, not casting stones, honest). The working-class patrons loved them! There was a genuine affection there that the hotties and stockbrokers at the Cheetah Club really lacked.

Not to nitpick, but it really sounds like you’re talking about the Clermont Lounge, which is on Ponce De Leon. It’s famous as a local institution more than anything… getting more popular with the ironic trucker-cap crowd more than actual working stiffs, but it still retains authenticity. Or that’s what I’ve heard. I applaud the concept, but if I’m going to a strip club, chubby is not what I’m aiming for.

I’ve only been to a strip club once, and only had a lap dance once. The women who danced on my lap put her bosom in my face and then battered me with her breasts. This would normally be very arousing, except for the fact that her breasts were as hard as rocks!

I guess the questions I could ask are: Is that behavior normal, how common are breast implants, and why were hers rock solid?

I can’t beleive I’m the first to say it but…cite?

Speaking as someone who’s been to several across many states, I’d say that this is pretty darn common. Some girls with obnoxious implants seems to think that’s their bread-n-butter move.

Sometimes it’s fun, sometimes not so much. Depends on how she sells it I suppose.
Couple of questions:

Which nights (events, days of the week) are the best nights, generally? Both for you as a worker, and for the customers?

What is the story with “amateur nights”, I see them advertised but have never been. I suspect the volunteers are almost all strippers from other clubs looking to make a couple quick bucks or plans from within the club to keep the customers. What’s the straight dope?

All in all a great thread. Thank you.

Couple more questions I couldn’t add before the edit time expired:

Do you see the interaction between the customers a cat-and-mouse game of how much money you can get for how little you have to do to arouse them? Is a good lapdance always the best paying one?

Have you ever been especially aroused while doing a dance?

Are you making notes for your vacation? :wink:

–John Pinette–absolutely awesome and funny, tipped great and bought drinks all night, the most fun I’ve had in the club in a long time

Does your club have a buffet? :slight_smile:
