Stripper Shuts Down Critics with Photo of Massive Single-Day Take
A female Redditor who claims to be putting herself through college by working as a stripper in Atlanta decided to do a different sort of showing off late last night when she laid bare her $3,345 mixed-bill take from a single day of work at her strip club.
"From now on when people ask me why I'm a stripper, I'm just going to show them this picture," the user, who goes by Menagerii, wrote.
Though she typically works half-shifts, Menagerii decided to pull a double last Saturday night, meaning she worked 15.5 hours straight — from 11:30 AM to 3 AM.
It paid off, but the engineering student, who got her start as a Hooters waitress ("a bunch of people told me I had the personality to be a stripper"), warned would-be exotic dancers not to plan on making ridiculous bank on a regular basis:
As a stripper, you don't make hourly money. You actually have to pay to work. At my club, it's 35 and 10 percent to the dj per shift. I work to halves of a shift (4-12 instead of 11-8 or 8-4) so I actually have to pay that out twice, which usually runs me at least 100 dollars a night.
I regularly make between 500 and 1500 a night. Anything other than that is a very rare outlier
The house fee at Menagerii's club has since gone up to 45.
Still, even $500 a night is fuck-you money for most people, and Menagerii admits that she won't be able to easily give up the second-oldest profession after she gets graduates "from a very prestiguious (sic) school."
"I enjoy it too some extent," she writes. "May do moonlighting after I get a big girl job."

10 percent to the DJ? WTF is that shit?
She isn't all that good looking so I'd imagine she sucked many a dick to earn that 3k.

From her looks - I’m surprised she even made tip-out.

That's about $225/hr in Atlanta. That's not impossible or even improbable haha.

It is so dusche for lack of a better word; when people brag about how much money they make. It doesn’t have to be just strippers, just anyone (a white collar professional; etc.).
The only people I’ve noticed bragging about how much they “bankâ€, and taking pictures of it, are drug dealers; rappers; and strippers.
I think this chick’s attitude says a lot more about her than what she actually “banksâ€.

If she did in fact make that much, I am thinking that she got a high roller or group at the Cheetah.

^ that's what I was thinking.
@papi_chulo - I sort of get where she's coming from, you basically have to justify your job to everyone that finds out about it on a daily basis. It's a lot easier to just show someone a picture than waste time explaining it, but yeah, it's kind of tacky and awfully short-sighted.
On a related note, it's general knowledge that people who brag about how much money they make/flash a huge wad of cash usually aren't going to give you much of it.
Finally, I would like to state that arm warmers are ugly and no one should wear them.

A) She isn't spectacular in the looks department.
B) You'd think there would be more than six Washingtons in the picture. Either she cashed the singles out for bigger bills or did not get up on the stage all night...made all the money off her regular whale(s).

^ she probably did cash them in haha, and you guys are ignoring the fact that she made that working a 15 hour shift

"I have the personality to be a stripper"
What's that? A personality disorder?

Although I normally get my dances from non-whites, this girl does look pretty good to me.

She would not make that kinda money unless she fucks and sucks itc. She prob will still work doing her whoring and be a married housewife whore like my ATF who is now 31. After 4.5 yr am still fuking her.
Many strippers eventually become hookers whether off back page or sugar dating sites. It is a natural progression.

with those looks . she had to sucking dick in the VIP.

@duo I understand justifying your job, but that's a far cry from posting a photo on the internet for randoms. Particularly since it was reddit.

I concede she not a 10, but...
by engineering girl standards (assuming she's actually getting an engineering degree and accurate pic), yes she is hot.

Yep, she showed a picture of a bunch of money, so it must be what she made in a double shift. BTW, I'm thinking of using this picture of me as my avitar, what do you all think?
