[I could never have made it as a stripper].
Everyone could make it as a stripper....its all basic salesman/woman ship.....
If you have ever had to purchase a "major" item....such as…
Car, House, (Major) Household items (Refrigerator/Dishwasher/ETC)....there is always a salesperson "selling it" to you....most of them make waitress wages plus incentives....incentives are purely based on your individual sales numbers....a poor/shitty sales person = a shitty dancer....
Now mind you that there is the offset of hot/semi attractive/dog....but even then the dogs make bank...."how that?" you ask.....
Back again to your sales pitch.....
good strippers...can sell ice cubes to esmokes.
hes totally right
its just the law of averages
you can increase your odds with your look and what youre willing to do
but basically its all just asking
fuck being embaressed, just keep circling the room and asking
it doesnt work when theres no numbers to run though lol
so with as dead as its been, you leave in the hole frequently
having regulars can help, but i still prefer a busy, full club stocked with tons of numbers to run
its just easier to get a dance here a dance there and keep moving
That is the only thing that I did not factor into it....
But this will change (eventually) with the regime change in DC on January 20, 2009.

No. I couldn't.
Selling I'm good at. I set records when I sold shoes in the 80s recession and did well selling IBM PCs/ATs and the initial Macintoshs in 84/85.
But, I didn't have to pay Edison Bros or Service Merchandise, who owned the stores, respectively, to be there. And, I was an employee. With unemployment, worker's comp and health care.
I'm too much of an agitator. Thus, how I became a union delegate/steward/local pres/exec board member.
I wouldn't put up with being cheated. I'd be "black balled" in no time ...
And, the first thing would be worker's comp. I'm telling you that if the right lawyer takes the right girl's case in NY or CA, that the Dept of Labor would find the dancers to be employees working on commission. Much like CA found actors to be employees of the film industry for worker's comp, etc.
See. I'm an agitator at heart. You have to be willing to be shit on to be a stripper. I'd work there a day or two tops before they knocked my teeth out.

I see your point on the "cheating" aspect of the industry in general...however that is universal element towards the adult biz....examine another racket....gambling.
You have to look at it as your always betting against the house...naturally the house then has the better odds...and then those in that side of “adult” generally lose.
Traditionally strippers aren’t that savvy and usually since it’s "there is just another club down the road" mentality...
So you don’t like the DJ at club a...
Exorbitant house fees at club b....
Most everybody is club c is straight up about things...
So you stay with c for awhile...either learn to live with the shit or go on to club d....so on and so forth. Naturally if you stay at any of them you will get regulars just like escorts…..
They are just like fanbois…..they pursue you from club to club….
It’s like some pw and their agents....
One will be with modeling a agency one week....
Then slide over to modeling b agency the next.
The only real winners are the strippers that achieved that coveted title of "feature entertainer"...get paid to dance by the club....doesn’t dance that much while there...no tip out....no fines....no bullshit....or the ones that are working in the union in San Francisco.
But they once again have dance agents....like the Continental Theatrical Agency....there’s always a pusher...pimp...dealer.
Fucked up as it is....as pretty says....it is what it is....
