Fat Dancer's Lament . . .
A dancer over at Club Diamonds was shooting the breeze with me because it was so dead. She blamed the poor management and gave as an example the manager reading the dancers the riot act over weight. She was forced to and did lose 20lbs--she was still fat or big boned--or not be allowed to work. She says I pay all my fees and some customers really appreciate women with curves so I why shouldn't the market determine who can dance? The stupid manager is just so prejudiced and doesn't appreciate that we pay to work--we are the club's income. He thinks all customers like the type of dancers that he finds attractive. He just doesn't understand that money should do the talking--not his little dick! :)
She was nice and understood that I prefer small dancers . . .

And, it wouldn't surprise me if the was a demand for granny! GERONTOPHILIA rocks for some. :) And, for others if granny reduces her price she suddenly is looking a lot sweeter.
And, I'm sure there are some disabled folks who'd like to get on stage. Wheelchairs can be sexy! ;)
Yes, I did understand that you were being sarcastic. Yes, if we had a free market, which we DO NOT have. See, I would be willing to open a club tomorrow or sooner if it was like the old days were you just find a store front an open a club. Those days are long gone. I checked into it. I wanted to open a club next to Angels. W. Dixie Hwy was a fun strip of stripclubs, but thru police action, church move-ins, and other tactics only 1 remains and it BANKS cash bigtime! Anyway, when I inquired I learned that there was a new regulation that stripclubs couldn't be close to each other any longer unless grandfathered in. Checking the zoning there were no other locations for a stripclub and in fact she (government zoning expert) said they were trying to shut down Angels. (I already knew that, btw.) Also, churches kill the opportunity to put up a stripclub---therefore the Haitian churches have moved in to keep out future clubs. Very smart. Certain child business accomplish the same ends and that has been used also. Furthermore, the big clubs ala Solid Gold were caught in a scandal where they had paid big money not only to restrict future stripclubs, but close existing ones!
NO FREE MARKET, thus she has every right to demand further government interference, imo. If we aren't allowed to open a strip club featuring ugly dancers, then exisiting stripclubs need to burdened with additional requirements. I'd much rather see a free market and she definitely understands the concept---the problem is the government took those freedoms aways so it needs to add additional protections and rights to those that are getting screwed.
I hope you were able to understand what I typed above. :)
Anyway, it doesn't make much difference as the average stripclub customer is dumber than a doornail and couldn't realize how little variety is left. :( What a country.
In the black clubs it seems like there is a strong majority of black customers that prefer the fat ass. Perhaps among the Latins as well? (A couple of latin buddies have shown me they desire plenty of meat; disgusting, imo.) The white clubs--Tootsies? Solid Gold?-- are expensive and even there beauty standards seem warped. Fake breasts, taller, galmour look, etc. doesn't do a think for me. Even when they have the look that I love the price is just way out of my ball park.
We have plenty of women that could be hot dancers here in Miami. Yes this city is probably the exception. So over here there shouldn't be a problem getting hot dancers, ***but there is thanks to government***.
When dancers are being hit with $160 house fee to work one shift at a $5 club that should tell you something. And, I've seen super hot dancers show and leave because there are too many ugly dancers showing. The uglies aren't minding these obscene fees because if they make just a little more than what they would at Burger King it is a winning deal for them. The attractive dancers generally think that given their looks and that they're going to go be groped and ogled that they should get some $$$. For them, prostitution makes more sense assuming they don't mind that line of work.
I could be dead wrong, but I'm like 95% certain that if I was free to open a club that I could get super hot dancers and still make a profit. Not print money, but make a profit and get super hot dancers. When there were more clubs The Trap didn't have a problem getting super hot dancers nor did Cherries which also specialized in super hot. Clubs get killed/closed and dancer fees soar. Dancer quality has dropped assuming you like small and cute. Dancer prices for the customer has soared for--fake tits, tall, glamour. I wouldn't want that at cheap. There is no shortage of quality dancers here in Miami, if the government allowed more competition. Instead it is killing clubs or pushing the mega club like Tootsies. A bunch of customers think Tootsies is the greatest. Maybe if your wealthy . . .
So if I'm a stripclub owner like Angels and I've got a bunch of dancers desperate to pay $160 for a single shift, then why care if they are butt ugly. Worse over time you get customers that want that look. At Angels it has seemed like a battle between older white customers spending on the hotties and the black customers spending on the blubber butts. Right now, I would say the black customers are now winning because for some reason they suddenly seem to have cash to burn! Meanwhile white customers don't have much in the way of real options unless you consider Tootsies a real option. :(
I didn't proof read the above at all so it may be a little difficult reading.
Shortage of hot babes willing to dance??? NO WAY JOSE here in Miami. Just kill the government bs and you'll get all different types of clubs including those that cater to customers that love super hot dancers.
Hot girls abound here for some rather simple reasons. The barriers to entry for a dancer are low and it's a relatively safe environment for the girls. The club draws patrons because of the abundance of hot dancers. And by draw I mean packed house 4 out of 7 days, busy 2 out of 7 and so so only one day a week on average. Redner makes a shitpile of money because he is able to get the strongest talent to work in his club and in addition to the dancer fees collect $20 per entrant into his domain. So it's a win for the dancer, a win for the patron and a win for the owner...
Some of you guys here would hate Mons because it is a nude dance club in the truest sense. No hidden "extras" as everything is out in the open. But great grindage, lot's of groping and consistently more stunning women than most anyplace else in his market( hell pretty much any market--lol)
Love Redner or hate Redner(the owner) but the man has a formula that works very very well for all parties... except for fatties, of course...lol
Interesting that they bar fatties. :)
One other thing about this club...It has it's own website with live cameras on the stage and in the girls dressing room. While I may be a little slower than I was in my younger days, I have not yet reached the point where I would tune in to live stripclub performances via the web. Call me crazy but I still prefer a more direct "hands-on" SC experience--but that's just me-lol.
Yeah, from what I hear it doesn't charge like a DIVE. That, low cost, is an even more important part of the charm for me. :) When there were a bunch of strip clubs along W. Dixie Hwy even a working class guy on very low income could hang out and have a lot fun. And, you could go frequently. Before they started charging a cover I would go to Angels about 4 or 5 or more times a week at night. Now it is packed and not only is there a cover they charge for parking! So you might get hit with $40 (not usually) just to enter the dive. Normally, I will get hit with $10 for the cover at night. But, that is just a good reason to cut back. It does add up over the year. And, when old management was there I had a VIP pass to avoid a lot of costs such as cover, etc. I made up for it by buying a lot of dances. They don't need me anymore. :(
Yes, I'm very much aware of that. Angels is thrilled all its close competitors got killed by the government. They sure as hell weren't pushing for more rules and regulations, tmk, but they didn't minding reaping the rewards. It was the fancy club, Solid Gold, that wanted to use the force of government to make money and eliminate competition. Probably Tootsies is of the same mind. Anyway, at The Trap the opinion was who cares what the fuck the government is doing on W. Dixie Hwy . . . they couldnn't see that, that would directly affect the heart and soul of their lovable club. It was just beyond their comprehension that closing the other little clubs would definitely hit hard and in ways that could be very unexpected (to them). From $5 lap (club specials) to now $25 lap with no special that I'm aware of. From girls that were burning hot and a lot fun to girls that are being fee'd to death and you'd rather pay them to stay dressed!
The Trap customers had a very poor understanding of economics and of social displacement. Those fantastic customers are pretty much history along with the fantastic management and dancers. The club is swimming in cash thanks to the government, and the dancers and customers get screwed. :( Dancers get far far fewer dances and fees have gone thru the ceiling plus there are brand new fees. Customers get ugly dancers who would have been relegated to the lesser clubs plus much higher prices.
