Stripper FAQ 1
"How do I become a stripper?"
It doesn’t take much to become a stripper. Like
most any other job, you’ll fill out a job
application and potentially be asked to audition
for the strip club’s management. A stripper job
application is generally a lot shorter than ones
you’ll find at other jobs because the strip club
doesn’t care about your previous work
experience. You’ll be asked to fill out basic
information such as your name, phone number,
address, etc.
Depending on the strip club, the strip club manager on duty at the time, the time of day you go, your personality, and what you look like, you may or may not be asked to audition. Auditioning means you’ll be asked to put on a mini strip show. Generally, this is done in the strip club manager’s office, but sometimes you’ll be asked to do it on an empty stripper stage.
Stripper FAQ 2
I don’t want anyone to know I’m a stripper,
should I strip away from where I live?
Most of the time, strip club customers don’t
want people to know they frequent strip clubs
either, so generally there’s an unspoken code of
silence between a stripper and a strip
club patron where neither will expose the other.
However, stripping at a strip club away from
where you live can relieve some of the anxiety
from having someone you know or used to know in
high school, college, or your last job see you
and blow your cover. However, additional
expenses such as the cost of gas, wear and tear
on your car, added travel time, and the cost of
a hotel room might be a deterrent. Each
alternative has its pros and cons and ultimately
it’s up to you to decide.
Stripper FAQ 3
Do I need to have big breasts to become a
stripper?
Men like to feel special and your job as a
stripper is to make them feel that way. Whether
or not a girl with big boobs, small boobs, or
itsy bitsy boobs is the one to make the strip
club patron feel special doesn’t matter. I know
this seems to go against what you would expect
but a stripper’s personality and how special you
make him feel is much more important. Once you
let go of the idea that your boobs, looks, or
physical features are what makes a strip club
patron into a lifelong customer, you’ll start to
make more money.
Stripper FAQ 4
How much money can I make as a stripper?
Generally, strippers will make between $80 and
$100 per hour. Of course, this doesn’t
happen right away, and sometimes doesn’t happen
for all strippers. How To Be A Stripper shows
you how to overcome some of the common mistakes
strippers make that cost them time and money.
Whether or not you become good at making money
depends on how you work the room.
How To Be A
Stripper teaches you exactly how to do that.
Stripper FAQ 5
Can I strip my way through college?
A lot of girls have striped their way through
college, myself included. Not only does
stripping give you a flexible work schedule, it
also yields you enough money to go to school
full time. I strongly suggest going to college
while stripping. You’ll have to explain the gap
in ‘real’ employment somehow, and saying you
were in school is a great way to explain why you
didn’t have a job for so long. Tell people you
got grants and scholarships to help support
yourself while you studied.
Stripper FAQ 6
I’m not in the best shape or look like a super
model; can I still be a stripper?
Although there’s no right or wrong when it comes
to body type and looks, it doesn’t hurt if you
work towards getting in shape and learning how
to apply your makeup. Stripping can burn a lot
of calories and provide great exercise, so if
you start out in somewhat decent shape, you
should be in phenomenal shape soon enough. I
would strongly suggest yoga and cardio to keep
your strength and endurance up. How To Be A
Stripper goes into a detailed workout routine
and shows you how makeup and strip club lighting
can be used to your advantage.
Stripper FAQ 7
How old do I have to be to become a stripper?
The minimum age of a stripper depends on where
she lives and what type of strip club she’ll be
dancing at. Nude and topless bars have different
age requirements and it’s important to know what
those are. Nude clubs don’t serve alcohol so a
stripper can work there as young as 18 years
old. However, topless bars serve alcohol and
therefore require strippers to be a minimum of
21 years of age. Of course, there are a few
exceptions and some clubs have been known to
hire younger strippers, but these are few and
far between. For example, Rhode Island allows
minors to be exotic dancers as long as they have
“a
work permit and are off the pole by 11:30pm on
school nights.”
Stripper FAQ 8
Do I need dance experience to become a stripper?
Although it doesn’t hurt to have a background in
ballet, jazz, or any other more acceptable dance
practices, don’t let your lack of it deter you.
How To Be A Stripper goes into detail about how
to dance on stage, how to give lap dances, how
to dance seductively, and how to get strip club
patrons drawn in by the confidence and attitude
you portray on stage.
Stripper FAQ 9
Can I still strip while on my period?
There’s no need to stop stripping while on your
period. Although you might feel like sitting at
home and relaxing in front of the TV, there’s
really no need to. Stripping on your period can
help relieve stress and cramps and actually help
your PMS. Of course, you don’t want your blood
or your tampon string to hang out, so How To Be
A Stripper covers effective methods you should
use while stripping on your period.
