During an ill-fated trip to Delilah’s in Philadelphia last week. Gave a throwaway compliment to the dancer sitting on my lap that I liked her outfit. She said she just bought it from another dancer. Makes sense. Back when I was seeing a couple dancers on a near weekly basis for a couple years I don’t recall seeing repeats, and it would be insanely expensive if they were buying all new and not selling any of it. But this dancer said that at bigger clubs like Delilah’s there is actually a rack in the dressing room where the dancers can put their used goods on offer, sort of like a co-op consignment shop.

last commentYeah, there are regular exchanges of outfits around here too. I see them quite often.

🔺 What's nice is some $SC'S will buy the platform shoes & other dancer stuff for the house & the girls can either buy it new at the club or wear what's left over of shared items for the club. I wonder if some clubs let the dancers wear for free on the new stuff.

I went to Blaze in the ATL and they had a store with clothes in there. I don't think I saw that in NY or Florida.

I was in a club recently during the day and the dancer I was talking to broke her shoe. She immediately dials some guy on her phone and told her the issue. Less than 30 minutes later this “shoe salesman “ shoes up with 2 or 3 pairs of shoes and sells her a new pair. He must be making quite a margin.

Interesting. I wouldn’t mind a part time job selling dancers outfits and shoes and helping them with the fittings 😃

There is a sale of new and used outfits going on at Vivide in Atlanta every day. One house mom, a former dancer, is the biggest seller.

A few years back I was friendly with a dancer who made dancer costumes and costume jewelry. She made more money selling her dancer costumes then she made from dancing. We used to go to different strip clubs together, where we would take a table and drink together, while dancers came by and bought clothes and put in orders for costumes they wanted her to make for them.

Dancers get discounts at shops selling outfits. They also set up pop ups in clubs. Plus its really cheap to order outfits from China. Shoes tend to be grossly overpriced for what they are though. But repeated outfits are common. And not a big deal.
