If you haven’t been checking out the Fun Stuff Page, or following my Facebook or Twitter…you have been missing the proliferation of mainstream newsmedia articles regarding the influx of desperate cash-strapped women to the industry.
As a result, I have gotten a lot of emails from women who want to know, “What is the absolute WORST thing that could happen to me if I decide to become a stripper?” I usually send them to this blogpost that I wrote way back in the earliest days of my blog, entitled The Weirdest Thing That Ever Happened to Me at a Strip Club. For all you newcomers, my original blog is located on Myspace. I didn’t transfer the comments when I republished the blog here at StripandGrowRich, but you can search for it using the date in the myspace sidebar if you want to read the comments.

I met the most interesting person at Babes Cabaret the other night. The party of four white guys in golf shirts were seated at a table next to the main stage table. When it was my turn for stage rotation, DJ Billy blasted the Van Halen. Each gentleman at the table tipped me a Washington, the one closest to the stage tucked a Lincoln into the side of my gstring. As many of you know, I’m not a great stage dancer…but I am pretty good at closing a lapdance sale at the tip rail. Read more...(411 words, estimated 1:39 mins reading time)
My evening started with the guys from West Virginia at the bar. I was sipping my Diet Coke when one of the middle aged white guys in a golf shirt stumbled over his own foot and plowed into the barstool next to me. “I’ve been drinkin’ since noon…” he mumbles. I have been actively working on my bar-hustle because I usually gravitate towards the guys sitting at a table before the guys sitting at the bar. After a bit of chit-chat I begin to set up my test-close, “The only problem with hanging out here at the bar is that you don’t have a lap!” The test close is NOT asking directly for a dance, but rather leading the conversation in that direction to gauge how ready he is to be closed. West Virginia was ready, he basically sold himself “Yeah, I need a lap for you to give me a lapdance. Lets go over there.” Read more...(377 words, estimated 1:30 mins reading time)
Adult entertainment is a business that has long been considered nearly recession-proof. And today in Dallas, there was more proof in the pole. Hundreds attended a job fair called Jobless to Topless. Applicant David Ward says, “Definitely more of a bonus than a negative.” It’s was the first annual event by Burch Management, which is looking to fill about 200 jobs in its 9 gentlemen’s clubs throughout North Texas. Burch V.P. Steve Craft says, “We do a lot of advertising we do a lot for the community and I think you’re really starting to see that. And people are getting more comfortable coming out.” The turnout ranged from college students to those in investment banking. Men and women applying not just for entertainer openings, but chefs, bartenders, hair, makeup and nail techs and clerical staff. Applicant Jessica Waggoner says, “I need some experience and administrativApril 22, 2009 Adult entertainment is a business that has long been considered nearly recession-proof.

Let me introduce you to the Dancerwealth.com team. You are already familiar with myself and founder Adam Sternberg. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the third key member of our team, Steve Donovan.
Steve has been indispensable to me during the past few months. He has a background in corporate technology sales, where he has been a multimillion dollar producer for over 15 years. So not only is he familiar with basic sales strategies; he also provided the techie connections and know-how that I grossly lack. Moreover, he has dabbled in professional motivational speaking, so whenever I’m at a loss for positive words, he’s the first person I call for blog inspiration.

9pm: DJ Billy cued my theme song (ahem…push play on the embedded video for sound effects) You’d think it would get old by now…but naaaaaah!
“Good Morning Avalon!” he says sheepishly from the elevated DJ Booth
I gave him the “huh?” look through the flashing strobe lights. “I always wanted to say that to you.” he jokes, and then proceeds to coach the crowd to sing “Avalo-on” during the chorus. The headbanger at the tip rail was loving it, as he thrashed his long brown mane up and down while showering the stage with Washingtons. Read more...(745 words, estimated 2:59 mins reading time)
Bridgette/Jessica Rabbit and I realized that in the 9 years we have been internet SuperStripperFriends, we have never worked together. Ever. We have worked at the same clubs, and in the same cities….but never in the same club in the same city on the same night.
So when she texted me that her flight got in at 9pm from the upper Midwest where she had a booking last week, I immediately told her to high tale it to Treasures to help me entertain The Whale’s group. So she literally got off the plane, Stripperfied herself, clocked in by 11:30, and was just in time! The group really ended up only being two guys….and it was hilarious how the vultures were swarming around them when Jacko escorted them from the front door straight to VIP.

The drive to Vegas was hot and sunny. I learned a long time ago that long road trips with the convertible top down REALLY tires me out. The drive took 6 hours this time due to the tourist traffic across Hoover Dam. I hope that bridge is completed soon. Took a quick nap and clocked in at Treasures at 7:30 pm. I paid the offstage fee since I walked in the door with a 5 hour deal already closed.
The Whale was waiting. Read more...(538 words, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
I spent about four hours this afternoon on conference calls with my design and mastermind team! I’m really excited about relaunching this program and making it BETTER than it has ever been before.
Back in October 2007, I blogged about how spending $300 on Stripper Sales Training was the absolute BEST thing I did for my stripping career. Prior to Dancerwealth I was not a top income earner in my clubs. I was always profitable, I worked hard, but I didn’t have the skill set to be a SuperStripper.
Guess what: skills can be learned, mindsets can be changed.
