I'm going to sound like an asshole and feel free to school me on how much of an asshole I am but I actually am not a huge "hot" stripper fan. I mean, a nice looking girl is nice looking, yay, but please lady. Dance. Do something. JUSTIFY MY GIVING YOU MONEY. Otherwise, why am I here? I can go outside, find a pretty lady, and hand her a dollar for being a lady. This isn't an amuse me thing, I'm just saying. I have literally watched a stripper get on a stage and walk back and forth. No, I did not have to give her money, but I wanted to and she wasn't making it worth it. Is that a dick thing to say? Maybe. But. Psh.
And because I'm a weirdo I may totally buy a pair of shoes like that and see if I can walk in them. When I was pregnant a former dancer friend of mine let me try on a pair of her shoes but my center of balance was too weird so I was afraid of killing myself.
Well, that and the fact that you guys can talk and dance. I mean, whoa. I tried doing that one time because someone asked me a question while I was working on a burlesque routine and I stopped what I was doing and they were like, "You can't dance and talk at the same time?" I said no, not if you want me to actually answer your question.
But you basically covered shoes. I'm all over the place in these replies. Someday I will write succinct replies that make sense.
Hahaha, see as far we we're concerned, customers are there to go to VIP with. Unless you're at Magic City or one of the other "black" clubs, stage money is negligible no matter how much the dancers perform.
I work at a somewhat "urban" club that plays a lot of rock music, and I can pull around $30 for 6 songs worth of shakin it (that's an average to good take; I try to avoid moving around a whole lot, but I'm good at eye contact and flirting from across the room until they get up and bring me a few dollars). In the same amount of time doing dances, I can make $120-$240 before tips, and get far less sweaty. As a customer, I totally understand your point, and I actually wouldn't give money to a girl who was just walking back and forth, either. I've spent years working on a stage show that has me moving slowly and gracefully, sometimes just moving from one sexy pose to another, flirting from the stage with my eyes at anyone who looks my way. But I am doing *something* and I never look bored.
(Fun fact: the reason I move so slowly is because I'm still not awesome in the shoes. Customers think I'm being sensual, but really I'm making sure I don't trip or look spastic, lol.)
And I hate to say it, but as a woman, you probably exist even less to those girls. Female customers have a tendency to be a pain in the butt, either getting insanely gropey or just demanding a lot of work on stage for a buck or two. A lot of us avoid them. I take it on a case-by-case basis.
Try these: http://www.snaz75.com/pl-kiss-209.html Same type of shoe, but a little lower. They're a pretty standard "first stripper shoe." I wear the ones I showed you above (Pleaser Sky 309) now, but I switched to them a year or so in. They should fit you like they fit the girl in the picture. If they feel a bit too snug when they look like that, you have two choices. 1 - If your feet are wide, try the brand Ellies. Look for the same fit, but Ellies are a bit wider than Pleasers. 2 - If the Ellies are too big, get the Pleasers, and use a blow dryer to soften the plastic over the toes, then wait for it to cool just a little, and wear them until they cool the rest of the way. If the shoes fit you properly, they'll be far easier to walk in. I had to get Ellies last time, because I needed shoes stat and none of the stores I went to had that model of Pleasers, and my feet are fucking swimming in them and its hard to walk.
