How Strippers Exploit the Madonna/Whore Complex

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

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.

Your Personal vs Your Stripper Personality Type

Friday, June 19th, 2009

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.

Is going to the Strip Club Cheating?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I posed this question today on Twitter:

Is going to the strip club considered cheating in your relationship?

I had to add that last part.  There is no right or wrong answer to this question, because every relationship is based upon different mutually acceptable agreements.

I have customers ask me from time to time, “I don’t think I’m cheating on her by being here…do you?”

My response is always, “Whose opinion matters more to you, mine or your wife’s?”

Fabulous Friday Night At Babe’s Cabaret

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Cue the music:

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.”

DancerWealth 2.0

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Over the past few months, people have said to me “Why are you doing this website if you make so much money dancing.”   In all fairness I feel  it is a valid question.

I have a few answers:

1. Stripping has a shelf life.  This year will mark a decade for me.  I  made some fabulous SuperStripperFriends,  great money,  and  memories to last my lifetime.  But I know that I cannot do this forever.

2. There are lots of different exit strategies from dancing.  Some involve going to school, getting a degree, and starting a new career.  If you are not scholarly, this exit strategy may not work for you, but that doesn’t mean that you have to settle.

Overcoming objections

Monday, April 13th, 2009

“You’re too tall” was my first response of the night. “Not to be rude or anything…but you’re not my type.”

I had two choices, smile and walk on by or try again. There was no one else and Mr Objection was my target client:early 40s wearing a golf shirt, his own 6 foot 2 frame sprawled across two straight backed chairs.

“Well, it all lines up when I straddle you, doesn’t it?” I replied with my best come-back.

It worked he smiled, leaned back opening up his body language and I sat in the empty chair.

Blogging For Dummies

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Hi Guys!

Two nights ago I went out and bought Blogging For Dummies. You’d think after two years I would know what I’m doing, but there is so much cool stuff out there that I didn’t even know about! I spent the last few days boning up on RSS feeds, Podcasting, Widgets, and Plugins….

What I discovered is that I NEED TO MOVE because the Myspace blogging platform doesn’t provide me with the tools I need! But that’s okay, because I’m moving in conjunction with the Launch of www.StripandGrowRich.com!

Happy Anniversary to Diary of a SuperStripper

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

I didn’t even realize it….but today marks TWO YEARS of Blogging.  My very first post was on 4/8/07 entitled I’m a Bad Girl with Good Morals!

Myspace unfortunately has axed my oldest posts.  Good thing it is archived at our new location www.stripandgrowrich.com/blog

“They just can’t handle the truth….”

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

is what my husband has said about his parents, our neighbors, and anyone who knows me from my “real life.” I agree to a certain extent, but as I am preparing this carefully timed mass media marketing campaign…I’m pretty sure there are going to be some pretty surprised people who find out what I’ve really been up to the past 10 years.

Will they treat me differently? Are they going to think bad things about me? Will they start whispering behind my back?

Probably. But it’s not stopping me.

SuperStripperFriends

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

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.
