Is this Type of Strip Club Website Practical?

After reading a related thread by neon44, this thought occurred to me: Could a website be created that posts and regularly maintains dancers' schedules, and gives real time info. as to which dancers are presently on shift:
In my experience, most strip club websites are worthless. What I really want to know is:
1. Address and contact info. (often available on numerous other websites)
2. Whether the club is bikini, topless, or nude. Alcohol or non-alcohol.
3. Photos of the interior/exterior of the club.
4. Admission and drink charges.
5. Lap dance/VIP room/champagne room prices.
6. The names of the dancers working there, and their schedules.
7. Photos of the actual dancers. (Often photos of "fantasy" girls who don't work there are liberally sprinkled throughout a strip club's website.)
Only items 1 - 3 are usually available on strip club websites. I know I can forget about dancers' photos (no.7). Most dancers don't want photos of them posted on line. Clubs seem to be reluctant to post schedules of the dancers, probably because they know the dancers aren't reliable enough to maintain a posted schedule, and the clubs themselves aren't very good about updating their websites. (Most of the Puget Sound Region Deja Vu clubs do list the dancers names, and provide space for photos, and schedules, but very few dancers have consented to that. And, the company only updates that info. about every three months, sometimes six months. PM me if you want an example.)
But, no. 6 might be practical, if an entrepreneur web designer would undertake the idea. My thought is two ideas:
1. A POSTED SCHEDULE THAT IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED
Someone would contact various strip clubs to ask if they'd be amenable to posting dancers' schedules, and provide the means to regularly update that information.
2. REAL TIME INFO. AS TO THE DANCERS ON SHIFT AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT
This may be way out there: Does the technology exist to provide strip clubs with a device that as dancers clock in and clock out, that could be transferred in real time to a website that would let the world know that at that strip club, which dancers are on shift at any given moment?
I'd like to hear from those of you knowledgeable about web design and the technical needs to accomplish the above two items, if that's at all practical. Or is my idea dreamshit?

For travelers like me this is pretty much useless, apart from club address and hours.
Another issue is the club would have to have someone intelligent enough and with the skills to actually build and maintain a website. From the non-dancer staff I've most often seen that ain't happening anytime soon.
Dancers that embrace the technology will communicate with their PL fan base almost 24/7. The clubs & dancers that embrace the technology will make bank while those that resist it will slide into obscurity.
We are in the midst of rapid/radical increase in connectivity the impact of which we have not yet begun to see.
Hang on. This is going to be mind blowing.

This is the closest some clubs have come to that I was thinking. They'll use either their website, Facebook page, or a common website such as TUSCL to list a "real time roll call (RTRC)." One website that has a built-in feature for that that's available for clubs to use is the Southern California website, www.zbone.com A sample of it, for just one club is: http://zbone.com/page/stripjoint (you may have to click on "discussions and RTRC.")
Clubs could ask dancers to call and confirm they were coming up to 8 hours before their arrival. Only then would they post it on the website that the dancer was working. Dancers who didn't confirm but still came in would be posted as working when they arrived. If it really helped the dancers for customers to see they were going to be there, they would have an incentive to call and say they were coming in to work.
1. Put RFID tags on all strippers so that when they enter a strip club, they get recorded and tracked. Day and times in the club get recorded. Pics are taken of the dancers.
2. After a month of continuing to work in the same club, software posts with a probability, the odds a dancer will be working a given time and day.
3. A dancer could post if she knows she won't be working certain days and hours so all her regulars will know.
4. The club doesn't attempt to restrict what days and hours the dancers work after finding out some dancers don't like working some days and hours. I think some clubs already require dancers to work certain days and/ or to arrive by a certain hour or they'll charge an extra fee to work, or fine depending upon your viewpoint.
I would agree with Club_Goer’s assumption that most dancers would not like to have their faces shown, but “ilbbaicnl†makes a good point “that dancers could show photos in bikinis or bra and panties from the neck down†- and that would be enough for me personally.
I don’t think it would be too hard or costly for a club to do this. I know at Tootsies down here in Miami, there are small monitors spread out throughout the club which list all the dancers working and when it will be their turn to go on stage – should not be that hard to pipe that info to the website IMO.
Given the immediacy of things like Facebook and Twitter, it probably isn't worth it.
