Stripped
Tales of the naked city, from a Las Vegas dancer.

Advice from strippers is always take-it-or-leave-it
By Justice
“When you’re sitting on their lap, reach your hand under your leg and grab their c*ck” a stripper told me, when I was that doe-eyed new girl. It was her advice in the matter of persuading gentlemen to accompany you to the VIP room. “Eww,” I reacted with a grimace. She rolled her eyes like I’m the new employee complaining about bussing extra tables. “You’ll get used to it.” I never could. I never will and I don’t have to. I don’t care how many sales I lose and I strongly advise all new girls to never do anything that they don’t want to do. This is not me pretending to be morally superior to strippers that do those sorts of things, but it does make it harder (no pun intended) sometimes to compete with girls that are willing to put in the extra mileage because they create customers who expect that sort of treatment. “The last girl did it,” they’ll say. I’m not desperate. “So go find her.”
There is always another customer out there who is willing to pay for clean dances. You’re wasting your time with the spoiled perverts if you’re listening to some guy try to convince you to break your own rules in order for him to give you any money. There’s no shame in listening to a customer try to convince you to do anything if he is paying for your time, however. I’ll listen to anything really. Your softball team won the big game? You must be so good at softball, my favorite sport ever. It’s probably my favorite thing in the world until your time is up.
I was just thinking of a customer who is exceptionally spoiled. I’m not even sure what he does for a living but he blows so much money on VIP room dances that I almost want to ask him. And I mean he was there every day at one point. I don’t probe too much anymore. I’ve ceased to be interested in anyone’s real story. Anyway, the guy, we’ll call him “Dick,” comes in and treats the strip club like it is his personal doll house. “I would take those two into the back and make them titty fight!” he says about two blondes with watermelon-sized breasts. There are deep grooves of white stretch marks like eroding hills on both of those women’s breasts. Not to be catty or anything. but the first image that comes to mind when I think of those gargantuan, pendulous sacks is the road map of stretch marks where the skin is losing an epic battle against gravity. They’re both nice ladies.
Anyway, Dick is crazy about me. “My fantasy is to hang out with you outside of here.” He gives me a list of reasons why he would be a great boyfriend. He would let me drive his luxury German car and give me tons of money, he says. He wants to take me on his boat, he says. Since he is married, he assures me I would have my own space. I giggled or something. I reminded him that I already have a boyfriend. “You should do whatever you want with your own body.” I told him that that is exactly what I’m doing, by declining. He offers me $100 per song for dirty dances and I refuse every time. He settles for the clean ones from me first and then goes to the dirty girls for the happy ending. I’m certainly curious how much he pays for it.
That night that the stripper gave me that sage advice about stroking a c*ck to improve sales, she made $3,000 and I made 10 percent of that. She was in the VIP room the whole night while I did dances on the main floor. It was my first shift at that strip club. “Come back tomorrow night,” she advised. She said she would show me the ropes. “I have school the next morning,” I explained as we walked out the back door into the parking lot. The sun was just beginning to make the sky a lighter blue behind the neon lights, a sparkling façade masking the painful darkness of Vegas life. “So what?” she said. She said. She didn’t ask. She wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. So I did what she taught me. I lied to her and never was in her toxic presence again.

Anybody new on a job is bound to get all sorts of unsolicited advice from veteran employees, usually who are generalizing from an n of 1 or 2. The reason that you, Jusitce, are successful at what you do, is that you have reached a comfort zone in your career, and even if it drives you nuts, you can live with it. We who have never met you yet are hoping that you continue to be comfortable dancing so that one day I will find myself in a club and look at a spectacular dancer and say, "Yes, that is she!"

Its funny,how,dont take it the wrong way u sometimes make urself look so innocent justice...I mean it is a strip club,u admited on this blog "dalliance with cocaine" is a bad idea, u admitted some heavy doses of drinkink and yet i fee llike ur grossed out by all this...I mean it might not make it any easier for u to accept but u know all this...
So many girls have substance abuse,gambling issues and a soul that is tarnish by this...
Dont get me wrong this does not mean at all u should be doing dirty dances...MY ex gf was just like u,she said her attitude cost her too much money...
I dont know if im an idiot or whatever but i too helped her a lot financially and so on but the reason it worked is because we got along... I treated her with respect and inspite being foolish or generous i never expected anything in return while this guy seems he does outside and inside the club...I find it disgusting but if u can maange to give him a few dances and make a steady income for a lil while keeping him under ontrol so u should i guess, or should have but im not u :)
Lets face it there are strippers with no souls just like customers who not only think cash is king but would die for it...
I was actually thinking abt that today...How come my gf who i though was beautiful didnt have the luxury car paid for by a sugar daddy,and all that kind of jewelry and so on ?
Well i guess the answer is like u she takes that job professionaly..She hs rules and in all seriousness since u are a wise woman u can tell that its obvious this guy would have treated u like a trophy for a few nights ,used u for sex and bye,bye ...
I dont know u nor ur boyfriend but its obvious that while money entitles to good dates and fun att he end of the day if ur with someone u cant stand and with nor connexion at all whats the point ?
I was so so worried many nights the she'd become like those girls that i sought advice to other girls who told me it wld be already done...
True im 100% sure a customer has grabbed her breast in the vip room more than once,been offered sex for money,and tht contact with acustomer penis hs happended (of course not grabbing nor anything)...
So she makes less money and works more...
That girl who made 3k well ,shame on her, and im not sure she wld get away witht his much anymore...Recession means guys probably would want a prober escort for 500 dollars wouldnt they?
So trust me its ok to say tht u are morally superior that does hj,bjs in the vip room, contact is bound to hppen but no that kind of contact...
Strippers are not whores and there is a very thin line sometimes because of what certin girls do to getmore money,and gifts and sugar daddies.
So i hope u will be the living exmple of a succesful dancer that performs well,has a happy life while never having to kiss,give any kind of sexual favours treatment to any customers,,

How can you call the customers "spoiled"?
Have you ever been to Mexico, South America or Europe?
American strip clubs are a rip off.
In fact they would not even exist if the United States did not have such puritanical laws to begin with

To jbigga and seb.
How do strippers have no souls?
I think what you jbigga are talking about is sex traffic women, forced into prostitution. Shame on you!

I have absolutely not say that.
Please read carefully:
"Lets face it there are strippers with no souls just like customers who not only think cash is king but would die for it..."
My best friends are dancers and i ahve dated a dancer for 4 years and it will always be the only woman i have ever truly loved.
However anyone to me who is willing to offer sex for money, or who lets money dictat his choices, addiciotn take over their lives, this is to me ruins everything... This personc can be a professional athlete, a dancer, u or me.
Im not judging anyone, but some people ready to do anything for money do not have much moral value to me ...
So dont go out think stupid things and taking things aprtially, it looks las vegas's mayor saying obama said it was nog good to go to las vegas while all he did say was IF ur firm received bail out funds from the government u should not take ur employees to a trip in vegas, super bowl or anything.
It si by misinterprating things and taking them out of their context that you controversy is wrongfully created.
Strippers,traders,car sales man, we are all , for what i know supposedly, given a soul we tarnish it more or less with or acts, and show more or less conscience and it is clear that in strip clubs certain women have none and no values. Beauty is only skin deep.
Refer for that to the blog during which justice mentions some woman taking advantage of custoemrs for credit card fraud, o r this other girl ready to do extra in the vip room.
I would not be reading justice blog if she were not someone withn an interesting point of view anf things to say.

3K/day, 4X/wk, X 48, X 20 yrs = $11,520,000.00
Looked it up, in the book, found this would cover, 4 illegitimate children, all attending the best preparatory schools and then on too Ivy league, "of course", 12, zero income earning, self-aggrandizing, belittling, debt-laden boi-toyz (men), and the bonus prize of a 10-year stint in The Fabulous Penitentiary Motel!
On the other hand, for a guaranteed $300/day, 5x/wk x 50, many right-thinking people would gladly give up a pinky-tip in light of the imminent 20 year depression.
I'm think-in tantric...

Hey Justice, long time reader, first time commentor. Obviously, you're leaving a bunch of money on the proverbial dance floor. But when the first morning rays of light brighten up your bedroom, it's you that you've got to face in the mirror. No one else.
With your strong belief and value system, I might even question your choice in career fields? I would think you're attractive with great communication and people skills. Keeping that in mind, I would opine that you could make about what you make now working as a waitress/bartender in a fine upscale restaurant.
Like most consumers, when in a strip club, I look for someone who I find attractive, and I look for value for my money. Most men can't afford to spend hundreds, much less thousands, in a club, so they look for the best bang for their buck. (Pun intended.)
I always chuckle when I see table dances where the lady keeps her distance from the customer. My point being what's the difference between that type of dance and just watching the dancer while it's her turn on stage? In many cases, none, other than the much larger amount of money you pay for the "table" dance.
I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to get "down and dirty" with your guests, and it sounds like you're totally cognizant of the fact that you're willingly letting some money slip through your fingers.
But there is no question - an attractive dancer who has learned the art of giving a titilating lap dance, can have a literal list of prospective customers that can keep her busy for hours on end.
Good for you for sticking to your morals with those of us who have none. Happy Birthday!

Jesus Justice, your readers spelling gives me a headache. You, however, rock. Sing it sistah!
And Awol, waitressing is demeaning, exhausting work, with strict schedules and massive competition for the few good (high end) jobs. Every single stripper I know (hundreds, as I am one for 13 years now) who ever waitressed would NEVER go back. Just FYI.
