A house dancer is typically what you think of when you hear the word “stripper.” House dancers are the bread and butter of the strip club industry: no club could survive without them! House dancers are independent contractors who pay the club a house (sometimes also called stage) fee. People who are not familiar with the industry are sometimes shocked to hear that the dancers have to PAY to work, rather than GET paid to take their clothes off. However, this business arrangement is no different than a hairstylist renting a chair from an upscale salon, or a business owner renting office space. In this case, the house dancer is renting the stage, chairs, and VIP lounge space in order to conduct her performances. She is responsible for collecting her money from the customers and filing the appropriate tax return.

If so, you could be selling yourself short and missing out on hard-earned profits! The problem is that once you set your price, that’s where it stays until you work up the courage to negotiate a higher rate.
It’s important that you review your rates annually to be sure you’re in line with the industry standard and the value you provide.
After you Become a Stripper: Handling Your Alcohol
July 23rd, 2010Strippers and alcohol seem to go hand-in-hand many times, like peanut butter and jelly. Many strip clubs serve alcohol, and actually that is one of the main attractions for many strip club customers: naked, or semi-naked exotic dancers and alcohol. The customers will buy themselves a drink, and then later will ask one of the dancers if they, too, would like a drink.
Become a Stripper: Stripper Shoes
July 22nd, 2010As I was sashaying across the floor the other night at The Lodge in Dallas, a well dressed gentleman reached out and touched my hand to get my attention, “How tall ARE you?” he asked.
I get that a lot. Let me clarify…I get that A LOT!!
“With the shoes or without?” I asked as I slid into his lap. No conversation starter needed here! “Five eleven without the shoes, Six two with them.”
“Let me see those!” He said as I raised a toned tanned thigh high in the air to showcase them um…shoes (yeah the shoes.) “Why do you wear those, you don’t need them!”

Unlike their sisters in the animal kingdom, human females don’t openly advertise their ovulation. But even without a human version of the baboon’s bright pink behind, signs of fertility sneak out, according to several studies. Subconsciously, women dress more provocatively and men find them prettier when it’s prime time for conception. And a report from the University of New Mexico demonstrates that the cyclic signs have economic consequences.
