First let me give my definition of the Madonna/Whore Complex. I use the more mainstream definition, rather than Freud’s spin on it. Why? Because Freud was a behaviorist who proported psychic determinism and allow us to blame other people both past and present for our current decisions. Personally I favor Viktor Frankel’s theory of self-determinism, which basically says that YOU control your own destiny, even if your parents didn’t do the best job raising you.
So, my definition of the Madonna/Whore Complex:
Men classify all women into one of only two categories: either evil sexual temptress, or good and pure saint; a woman has to be one or the other. Read more...(848 words, estimated 3:24 mins reading time)
The Lodge is unlike any club I have ever experienced. Check out these local commercials.
From a dancer’s perspective, if I lived in Dallas…. I wouldn’t want to work anyplace else! Much of my opinion is due to the positive reinforcement strategies that owner, Dawn Rizos implements throughout the club. For example, there is NO HOUSE FEE for entertainers who arrive to work on time at 6pm. Dayshift entertainers not only pay no house fee, but are also fed a catered lunch by the club’s Five-Star Restaurant. I had the lobster bisque and crab stuffed halibut; it was delicious!

So, did anyone else have a problem answering some of those personality test questions? I did.
As entertainers, we put a mask on every night. We wear both a physical mask (hair extensions, fake boobs, fake eyelashes, heavy makeup) and an emotional mask. For those of you who are relatively new to entertaining, you may still be in the process of developing your Stripper Persona. Read more...(300 words, estimated 1:12 mins reading time)
A good friend sent me this link the other day with her results.
The analysis was so accurate I decided to try it myself and posted the results to my Facebook Page:

Nikita Kash at www.travelingentertainers.com gave me the heads up on the Grand Opening of this club. I drove by before it opened last week just to scope out the location. It is actually a brand new building about a mile north of Oasis Gentlemen’s Club. A few of the Oasis owners are also owners of this club. Here is the blurb from the Philadelphia Inquirer, scroll down to the bottom.
I arrived at 9:30 for the start of my 10-2 shift. The club is brand new, and yes the tanning bed in the dressing room mentioned in the article is apparently very strong. The club has a great set-up for the owners and the customers, but it is not optimal from the dancers’ perspective. Read more...(566 words, estimated 2:16 mins reading time)
The How to use Twitter to Market Your Stripping Business video I scripted three weeks ago was a bit outdated when I went to record it yesterday. Despite some reports that Twitter’s growth has suddenly stopped, it’s appearance in Time Magazine and my mom’s announcement that she signed up to follow her church’s mission group work solidify my belief that it is here to stay. Nevertheless, I had to change some of the content. I am glad that Twitter is adding verified accounts. I spent a lot of time setting up satellite email addresses so I could claim all of the Twitter Handles that could be associated with StripandGrowRich (DancerWealth, DancerWise, SuperStripper, etc) I don’t plan on using them all, but in the copycat world of online business I don’t want someone to snatch up my brand name and pretend to be me. Just last week, St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa sued Twitter over a bogus account. Read more...(204 words, estimated 49 secs reading time)
A story like this surfaces every few months. One day, when I have the time, I will go back and research the court documents to follow up on the OUTCOME of each case. It makes the mainstream news when the suit is first made public, but somehow seems to disappear by the time a resolution surfaces.
Situations like this reflect the precise reason why most clubs hire exotic dancers as independent contractors instead of employees. Notice, Mr Ireland decided to sue the CLUB not the entertainer. Yet to what extent is the club responsible for an entertainer’s conduct? Read more...(240 words, estimated 58 secs reading time)
I love summertime! However, it is notoriously “The Slow Season” in many markets across the country. This is especially true in Phoenix and Las Vegas, where temperatures reach the one-teens and tourists tend to head to the beach instead of the desert.
Does this mean that there’s no money to be made? Of course not!
It just means that YOU have to be on top of your GAME! Social Darwinism is prevalent in EVERY Strip Club. You may have heard this referred to as “survival of the fittest.” In our case, the Fittest in the Strip Club are the ones who can close sales. I have always regarded summer as the time when I can practice my skills without worrying if I’m “losing out” on a better sale somewhere else in the busy club.
