TUSCL_Brother: Yes they do...depends on how long the girls have been working together or if they share the same customer they are likely to discuss him however, most are rarely honest about what actually goes on. I don't really do this because I really don't make friends at the club and also because customers generally do not appreciate it...you never know who is in the dressing room listening and all these things decrease the potential for drama. To reiterate, yes they do.

jablake: I haven't been a stage girl since Platinum Plus in Memphis...this has been a few years...(I pay to stay off stage now0 However, from what I remember, the reason most guys give a 20 or more tip onstage is because the dancer will come over to them when they get off stage. This helps when the dancer you want is really popular...nobody can beat you to her if she goes directly to you.

Zorro: I don't really walk around...i ask the bartender/waitress which tables have a credit card tab that pre-approved for 1,000 or more and I give them a once over...if they seem like a fun table where i would fit in, I introduce myself and either they invite me to sit down or I ask if I may sit down and you know the rest.

commando.

I mean, if there are two girls sitting with you that break out in an argument and drag you into the BS it seems like that would be a buzz kill...just saying.

Hm...I personally do not ask for a tip because I assume if the customer plans to tip he will do so and if not he won't. However, I am pretty sure the solid reason dancers do that is because they are banking on you not wanting to look like a cheap jerk and if they catch you by surprise you are likely to pay the tip without giving it much thought. Since that works on you guys perhaps 50 percent of the time, there is a 50 percent chance they will make more money by asking. As far as during the dance, why would you two be talking anyways while she is dancing? If they mention it during the dance I can only assume they are not as smart as the girl that asks at the end...instead giving you time to think about it not to mention not enjoy the rest of the dance.

A lot of girls at Platinum Plus used to tell customers I was dating the DJ so they would go ahead and dance with them and not wait for me...this proved to be especially hilarious when told to some of his friends one night when they came in to hang out. The dancer was told...no sweetie, I am the DJ's best friend and that is not his girlfriend. I make it a rule not to put other dancers down or talk about their personal/club business...it keeps me out of DRAMA. I have come to notice customers don't have a good time when there is a catfight going on or someone bitching at them like the wife they came to the club to avoid.

LOL...I would define it as...one engaging in poor business practices ...I am just being silly.

I can't understand why girls would approach you with that. I just say hi to those kind of guys that always see me and never approach me...I assume I am not the type they prefer...that's just nagging. I don't get that at all.

Yeah, it depends on a lot of things.... I mean, dancing is a personal act. There are a few types of customer I will refuse at any price. You are right about the girls attitudes changing day to day like that...some nights I go in for the simple reason I have no other plans...on those nights I am not trying to make a goal, just hoping someone I enjoy will come along...It is what it is.

I have always wanted to ask some guys this question.... If most men prefer natural breasts, then why do the fake ones cause such a reaction. I have literally been talking to a guy who was in the process of explaining to me his LOVE for natural breasts over fake ones and in mid sentence he turned away from the table to look at a big pair of 550ml saline tits walking by...I was like, what were you saying again. He went on to explain that men like the LOOK of fake and the FEEL of natural. Is that true or was he just trying to recover from contradicting himself. LOL

Hm...here is the deal...dancers are independent contractors...this means I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone...LOL. Besides, you all would hate my rule...I generally will not take anything off unless we agree to a minimum of 100. I would rather be at the bar drinking. I guess it depends on my mood...I have been known for sitting with guys for free if I am tipsy and enjoying their company and I have also been known to turn down 500 because the customer kept insulting my political affiliation. Another perspective could be...the money to some girls justifies even being there or being a dancer...so maybe they feel if they aren't going to make what they want, then what's the point.

Don't blame the shoes...I like to do housework in them...blame the girl that was onstage before them with some oily ass lotion on...hate that. <3 Frankie

dirk4444....thatnks babe. I been thinking about traveling to other places though so if you have a suggestion...and your welcome for my perspective even though you guys may not always agree =)

I don't know any escorts but i think anyone could be an escort...what do I think of escorts...I think everyone has to live their life and exercise free will...I also don't judge them anymore than I judge my guy friends that go to massage parlors and get a hand job from some stranger when they have a wife at home. There are several reasons i feel this way but mainly...I have better shit to do than worry about other people's sexual/financial habits..in fact, if I am dancing for someone who wants extras I will usually refer them to a dancer i know does for the rest of the night. Other girls do extras and it used to upset me because it "lowers the bar' in other words...why get a dance from me when the dancer next to me would suck your dick for a lower price...but as time went by i realized the answer to that...that is, the kind of guy that is happy hanging out with me talking about sports and politics will choose that over sitting with a dancer that offers extras and wants to talk about her pimp and how some bitch in the dressing room stole her newports. Lucky for me, i attract the exact kind of guys that appreciate my company...so i really don't care what other dancers do or judge them, as long as they don't directly interfere with my cash flow....now as far as girls rationalizing that they aren't a whore because they charge more, well, that happens, but who cares as long as they are happy with their choices why do you care? In addition, using the term "unprofessional work environment" when speaking of a strip club is perhaps the ultimate oxymoron...it's not like a regular job...money talks and if you don't tip managers they tend to favor/fire you over a dancer who fucks up more but tips...I have seen many do drugs in the office, keep the club open an extra hour for certain guests and accept personal tips for it and even let girls fight...it's like martial law. If they did that in tampa though it's a good idea...but I'm sure there were exceptions. and do bobbyl i pose this question...do you really try to be such a disagreeable, overly opinionated jerk or does it just come natural.

large: we don't think guys are pathetic losers until they act as such...meaning, we are there too-so just being there doesn't make you a loser, however, being there and treating strippers like shit to make your own creepy existence seem better than it really is...thats what makes you a pathetic loser. If you are a nice guy and you spend money...she is probably happy to see you. I have been known to sit with a customer who pays slightly less because the time passes faster and I am enjoying myself rather than sit with one who is mentally exhausting. HOWEVER of course she is ALWAYS happy to see your money, after all, she is at work...and who wants to work for free?

Sorry am and always have been a Republican.

lmao...i worked at St. james for two days...THEY DO NOT HAVE BOOTHS...all dances are done in a chair...upscale, I think not.

Hey mr jmelbourne27....and now that you know what I look like, what do you think about low-balling me? i'm kidding, you know I have to mess with you!

No, it wasn't me....never did OTC but def know American Way and that was like three streets from out townhome. Crazy...private message me maybe I can e mail you some pics of the one I know...see if we are talking about the same one.

btw...if you feel you recognize me see the pics on my myspace and let me know www.myspace.com/alisatxlaw and yes, Alisa is my real name.

Sorry about the spelling on the last three posts... I am at Buffalo Wild Wings in Houston trying to make sense of this Brett Farve scandal. . I have had a few Grey goose and diets so many apologies.

OK! Lol...general experience and platinum Plus..... I began dancing in 2003...a place called Danny's Downtown in jackson, Mississippi. dated the DJ there who had been at that profession for 10 years and got the 411 on dancing as a whole. moved on from there too several small clubs in mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. After that went to memphis[2004-2005] worked at Platinum Plus...traveled to Missouri, New York, Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, Hawaii, Georgia, and Nevada...when Platiunum Plus was closed i was out of town....granted Memphis was the place to be [we had nude stage and girl on girl shows which yes I did]Was it naughty? Hell yes. we had sometimes 70 girls on the floor...all7-10's and as much as 1400-1500 patrons. I have yet too visit a strip club that even compares. I went in 2006 to Treasures...in Houston Texas. Treasures is less of a stage venue and more of a VIP oriented place. Right now i float between The Men's Club houston and Centerfolds.

Gossip in the dressing room...puts you in a bad mood before you hit the floor. By this I mean...you walk in, tipsy from a restaurant and ready to have fun, but along come three dancers saying the guys there are being "dicks" and "it sucks in here". It can really make you apprehensive to even go out there. So, i wear my iPod while I get dressed and do most of my make-up before I even get to the club...I have a good time regardless. i love to drink, where else is it possible for me to do so?

Shadowcat: The Dj are speaking of is Jacob Flowers...he is now a Dj @ The Pony... which used to be P.T."s...and is owned by Jerry Westlund. Do I know Crystal...yes...two of them and they are both on my myspace...one was from Mississippi and one from Tampa, FL...one was my roomate. Never involved in a vice bust there and never have been...knock on wood...I'm a good girl. I do not know a Lil' Bit...but worked at PP Memphis two years...have any other names for her?
