Hi there! I’m a black dancer based in Atlanta and was wondering if any Follies customers would be able to asses my chances of getting hired here? I’ve tried to audition for dayshift on multiple occasions but never managed to get hired for whatever reason. About me : 5’9”, slim build, perky butt. Here's an album of me —> https://imgur.com/a/qoK5joL
Never been to follies, but you look fine, could there be some other reason, follies has a reputation for hiring black dancers, I would suggest waiting for some of the follies regulars to respond tho.
I wish I could answer that. Most customers agree that dancer quality has really taken a nose dive but I can't seem to get a straight answer on whether of not they are hiring. As 4 employees and get 4 different answers.
I and a lot of other customers would like to see an increase in attractive white dancers but given a choice between attractive and fugly, would choose attractive regardless of race. You look a lot better than most of the dancers that I have been seeing there lately.
Kinda looks like the owner's wife is doing the hiring. :) Good luck.
I can assure you that it isn’t because of your looks. You are better looking than the vast majority of the dancers there. Actually, you are one the better looking dancers I have seen anywhere.
@doctorevil here’s to hoping that the hiring manager/housemom/rude ass doorgirl shares your views...I’ve been there at least four times and no one’s given me the time of day. Rumor has it that they’re more reluctant to hire black girls during the day. I think I’ll try night shift to see if I can at least get my foot in the door
1) Follies is a popular club and I assume they can't hire every girl that wants to work there especially on the more popular dayshift
2) Follies is probably the most AA-dancer-friendly mixed-club I've seen but most mixed clubs seem to have a quota on black dancers I assume to keep the club from becoming a black club where most of the white custies end up leaving - i.e. could be they don't want dayshift to become mostly AA like nightshift
Worth a try to try nightshift and see if you can transition to at least midshift (if they have a midshift)
I know a black dancer that just came back to working at Follies after working at Oasis. I don't know if her previous employment had anything to do with her getting rehired or not but she certainly had no problem adjusting. We agreed that Oasis was way to strict on table dances and that too many of the dancers were tied up with regulars so much that new customers couldn't get an "air" dance and the ridiculous fan thing.
Yeah I'm not remotely interested in going on a site where its most active members are a bunch of unhelpful, whorephobic (that's another topic),and RUDE dancers that are always bitching about stripping's "glory years" where you'd "make soooo much more while doing far less". I'd take this site any day of the week, thank you
I digress. I'll try Follies for both and day and night today. If that doesn't work, you might see me at Gold rush (or to be quite honest, in Birmingham or Columbia...I've lost my patience with Atlanta)
^ try S. Florida, but stay out of Miami, it will be too expensive to live in a safe neighborhood. North and west Florida is cheaper but I don’t know the situation for WOC.
South FL is not very AA friendly and expensive when it comes to housing - perhaps you can travel-dance some if you have the flexibility and try out different places - Jacksonville has a somewhat decent strip club scene and it'd be cheaper than South FL but you'd be living in Jacksonville :)
TUSCLer EveHartley is an AA dancer out of Jacksonville and may be able to give you some insight if it interests you.
^Papi there are a bunch of clubs down here that hire AAs not the biggest ones, but I suspect that north Florida and West Florida are more rural and maybe J’ville is cool but I don’t think pompano and WPB are bad choices for pretty AA girls especially spinners, prolly not so good for those big ass types that you like, but that’s a different discussion.
Columbia is dead now. The only club left is Platinum West and it is a Deja Vue club. Birmingham has never been any good. The best city for strip clubs in AL in Huntsville.
Goldrush used to be a great mixed club but is now a so so black club in a very ghetto neighborhood. At least they do have a guy watching the parking lot for a couple of bucks.
No license needed (except for some ID that shows you’re over 18). No need to get naked (though nobody will stop you from doing so in the VIP should you so desire). And I know at least two clubs that will practically drag you back in the DR if you even *hint* that you want to dance. :)
^Gold Club Pompano, a club that seems to be having trouble getting dayshift girls, they'll hire almost anything that applies, I've seen half a dozen at a time in Solid Gold also in Pompano, in Scarlett's I've seen a bunch, in WPB at Cheetah, not so much on dayshift but by mid shift usually more than a few, and Spearmint Rhino, their talent pool is kind of thin if she walks in there they'll kidnap her they seem to be having trouble tho, also Scores in Lake Worth, days there's at least 5 that I know about.
Too bad I go to school in Atlanta...I’ll just have to travel during he school holidays. In the meantime, I guess this is just an excuse for me to get a boob job and take a break from dancing for a month or so. Then I’ll go to oasis and beg for my old job
^I forgot about Trashdance, and SugarDs cause I never go there any more, but there are dozens at the first it’s mixed and the second is all urban, don forget Pink in pompano, also urban.
I feel like boob jobs are like makeup. When they think about it rationally, men hate it. I can’t blame them for wanting to be able to evaluate a woman as “fairly” as they can in a natural way.
But in all practicality, the investment will likely pay off well.
There was one dancer (granted this was during the early 2000s and she was working high end champagne room clubs) whose income increased by 60k after her procedure.
As beautiful as Ebony is, colorism is very real and she has to be on her A game to make money or even get hired places.
Boob jobs are like tattoos. You get the best artist you can afford, but there is still no guarantee of a good outcome. I will pass on dancers who have implants that look unnatural. I have seen hard, asymmetrical, nipples pointing the wrong way, lumpy from scar tissue, some have all the appeal of a flesh covered Tupperware bowl. If a dancer was very very saggy from weight loss or birthing a child, it might be worth the risk. You, on the other hand, are absolutely fine just the way you are.
25/Papi, if those pictures are her I'd be willing to wager a number of clubs in SFL would hire her.
4Play, Gold Club, Solid Gold, Pink, Porthole, in Pompano all almost certainly would. Cheetah and Booby Trap are 50/50 in my estimation, both seem to have a limit on # of black girls they want at any given time, but do hire them. Diamond Dolls I think is unlikely, I've seen hotter girls come in their during the day to audition and be sent away (no offense to OP) they've got a type at DD and they stick to it most of the time. I doubt there's a club in West Palm that wouldn't hire her. I agree Rhino would love to have her, I think Monroe's and The Manor are both low on dayshift girls too so would probably bite. I'm guessing Scores would, but that's a guess as I don't go in there much. Flashdance and T's will hire anyone with a pulse. Sugar D's probably any black girl of any size or fat white girls will get hired.
That's at least 8 almost for sure, and probably another 5 or so probabably's. A good number of them you probably don't want to work at.
And finally, I'd say skip the boob job too. Unless that bra is holding them up and they're really saggy, size wise they're fine. At least for my personal preference. I do agree, from a financial perspective as a stripper they probably will make you money, unfortunately.
Ebony729 is damn BEAUTIFUL. The only thing to make any sense is if the club is “over quota” for AA girls on days. But if they hired another 50 girls that look like her, I’d be likely to stop in every day! Sadly, I live in Chicago. You’re welcome to dance here!
Fuck Follies... I'll pay you $5,000 to come to Asheville NC and spend the weekend with me at a hotel... we can soak in a hotub, order room service, order movies and take turns slurping each others ass juices
Okay so, they told me to come back on Follies Thursday and that there was a strong chance of me getting hired since I’m pretty and Goldrush’s hiring housemom won’t be back till Wednesday
The housemoms make hiring decisions in your area? Oh wow. In my area the most they do is chill out, sell stuff, play therapist for some girls, and maybe enforce non drug rules.
Lol thank you guys for the encouragement. Here are my two cents as someone who’s been doing this for 3 years : I don’t think it’s a “god, Ebony729 is fugly” thing or “we’re unabashed, cross burning racists after the club closes” thing. I’ve seen the phenomenon Papí Chulo described with my own eyes...and Nicespice is right. Let’s not forget that Onyx, Gold Rush, etc USED to be “mixed” at one point. At the end of the day, clubs have standards to uphold in order to make a profit. Do I think it’s right? No comment. Do I think that you guys would rather have me rub my boobs on your faces than listen to a sociology lecture about racial dynamics and economics. Hell yeah. In fact one of you keeps mentioning a desire to “suck my ass juice” so...I guess I’ll just focus on getting hired in the A rather than fixating on circumstance beyond my reach. That way I can twerk some, rub my tits on one of y’all, and at least TALK about the ass juice thing haha
Anyways, I went in for night shift yesterday. I’ll try dayshift today and see if I can get my foot in the door. Let’s hope I don’t get the run around like I have in the past
Apparently they’re not hiring for dayshift but night shift is. Welp, looks like Nighshift it is. Time to pull up there for the third time this week on Thursday
Thank you doctorevil! I have high hopes for getting hired here
ALSO : do you reckon that's the type of spot where I could run dance specials (2 for $10. Free dance if you "trust" me on TUSCL) ? Upon reading the reviews and getting more insight into the nature of this place, I HIGHLY doubt that I'll get "disciplined" but as the youth say...bitches be trippin
$10 is a very fair-price for the type of dances common at Follies and it'd be more trouble than it's worth to try and undercut the other dancers, IMO.
You are just gonna have to hustle and not assume a particular custy won't want a dance from you b/c you can't really tell unless you ask - i.e. if you wanna make $$$ approach everybody and also check what is the earliest time they allow you to come-in in case you can catch some of the dayshift custies.
Right when I think this site is going to shit with all the trolls, some cool, well spoken dancers come in and brighten the place up.
Ebony729 I wish you the best of luck in getting hired at Follies. Although I wish it was for day shift since it seems all the folks here that live in that vicinity only do day shift. Still, I hope you can get rained on by all the young black dudes that show up at night time.
And as for the boob job, I knew everyone on here would tell you not to get one. So once again, I'll be that lone guy that says DO IT! Although us big fake boob lovers are almost nowhere to be found on this site, I'm sure there are a huge number of us out there. Some guys commented about not getting dances from fake boob chicks. Well I'm the opposite, if a chick ain't packin up top, I'm not buying dances. Doesn't have to be fake, but it's gotta be big.
hum, Hasn't been around in 5 days. Must have found something interesting.
My opinion on Boob Jobs. Don't do it or not do it for a guy. If it helps your self esteem go for it. Guys will say they don't like it. But when the girls come out they shut the fuck up don't they?
damn girl I'm on the West Coast. I like what I see in your pictures. fuck I even trusted you. don't do anything to your fucking boobs. nor your fucking ass. if your pictures are accurate you're in my target.
Update : I got hired at Goldrush because I essentially kept encountering a lot of bullshit during my attempts to get hired at Follies. Oh and I’m in Portland right now...SURPRRIIISSSE. I’ll be in the city, dancing downtown until the 22nd. If you happen to be in town and are in the mood for some late night grinding, message me and I’ll tell you where to find me. Also I’ve decided against a breast augmentation...for now muahahaha
But the idea of being in Follies still intrigues me. If by of you guys happen to be in atlanta and are okay with going to a strip club with a stripper whom you’ve had no prior contact with, message me and we can have a “date” in the most popular spot in town (aka me scoping out the spot)
I think someone posted about Follies getting attention from the city for having too many people (dancers+customers) at any one time. Maybe that’s why they’re being extra wishy washy.
And good info. If I ever dance in Portland, I’ll stick to downtown only as well

Other than Porthole, I can't think of a mixed club in South FL that has more than 3 AAs working per shift.
Tootsies seems to be hiring some now and by some I mean maybe 4 or 5 in a dancer-crew of 75+ girls, not exactly good odds.
But in all practicality, the investment will likely pay off well.
