But she was only stripping to pay her way through college right?

 
xtex 2008-05-24 03:45:39 PM  
A grand a week?

She must be a lousy stripper. We spent more than that in a few hours on one stripper in Vegas.

/and my friend even got a free case of herpes out of it!

One of the new economic indicators I'm sure...

I didn't realize that dancers had to pay to dance, I thought the establishment paid them. I guess it's just another form of pimping.

Brilliant.

They pay the club thirty five bucks a song? Let's see, a three song set times thirty five bucks a song, times X number of sets a night.

These girls are a special kind of stupid.

Strip clubs need to be smart and get some partnering in their marketing! You know, like the car dealers all now have a gimmick about free gas for a year if you buy a new car. Clubs can partner with the big pharmaceutical companies and offer free penicillin with every lap dance :-) It's all about marketing and ingenuity!

 
the_good_senator 2008-05-24 05:15:15 PM  
Would they make more money if they changed the rates to cost per half lap dance?

A friend waitresses at Tattletales in Atlanta (immortalized in Motley Crue's 'Girls Girls Girls' - and I don't think they've so much as changed the seat cushions since that song came out). She makes about a grand a week for four nights work. Apparently the shooter girls make more...

This article has 2 facts wrong

Strippers make on average if they are decent about 300-500 a night. Daily shifts make nothing.

Strippers arent charged per song. They have something called a stage fee. Its normally 25 to 35 dollars FOR THE NIGHT. They also have to pay double that if they show up late. Which is rather common.

So that was what I was supposed to do with that check!

No no no, its all dependent on the location and the club itself. Chains tend to do the same thing, but there is a rather large difference in how the independents operate.

I work at a club where the girls make 300-500 in a 4 hour DAY shift. The 3-7 shift is the most wanted because we have a happy hour crowd that packs the bar. I'm sitting at work right now and I will make about 350+ from the girls tipping me (DJ). It's a busy Saturday afternoon.

The girls pay 10 per shift and 5 per lapdance, 25 if its a 20 minute dance (125)

We have 7 clubs within a 10 mile radius and they all do it differently.

At least they'll have those advanced degrees that they all spent twelve grueling years in school to obtain.

No, I can't bring myself to use that phrase. I am always amused at a stripper thread though. You wouldn't believe how many stereotypes are true... or maybe you would.

Sorry, sis.

Blokes just think the home snoochie don't look so bad at 4.00 a gallon, 7.00 a drink and parking.

And she actually puts out. : )

It's how the clubs avoid annoying things like benefits and labor laws.

Strip clubs are very easily explained.

Someone shady owns the business. Beers are expensive as hell, sometimes there is cover. The girls pay to work there. The ugly girls don't make as much as the hot ones. The more a girl is willing to do, the more they make. Most have drug habits, it is what changed them from a shooter girl making 300$ on a good night to a stripper trying to make 1k/night.

Some guys go there often. Some guys go there once in a while. Guys that never go are the type you wouldn't want to drink with.

And finally...never agree to party with a stripper after work. You can't keep up...both financially and in partying.

What does a stripper do with her asshole before she goes to work?

- Drops him off at band practice.

Nice video with the story. I love the use of the thirty-second loop of strip club stock footage that's been part of every strip club story ever produced since the dawn of man. That was worth the click.

What I take away from this is, Now is the time to start offering the higher echelon hook,er, dancers, 100$ for a blowjob, instead of offering 100$ to the mid echelon dancers for a blowjob.

Samsaran: Strippers earn their livings by their beauty and ability to work the customer for money. Beauty is a rare thing and only temporary even for the few blessed with it. I see no problem with beautiful girls taking advantage of rare physical attributes just as I have no problem with 7ft tall men playing basketball.

Besides, when was the last time you saw a 7ft'er dance in a convincingly sexy way to "Funky Cold Medina?"

Well it is kinda comical to watch them dance to Strippers by Body Count.

What is the most popular stripper request? I could guess I am sure, but my brain is weak today.
