Also, I forgot to say that of the four schoolgirl costumes I have, two are high-quality white blouse/plaid miniskirt/white thigh highs/matching plaid hair ribbon costume sets from high-end stripper stores that you've probably seen many times if you've ever been to a strip club. The other is pretty much the same, except the skirt is a different plaid pattern, and the blouse sleeves are three-quarter length. I usually wore these three without the thigh highs and the ubiquitous 6" platform lucite stripper stilettos. I usually take this outfit off and have a plaid bikini on underneath.
The last is totally different, and not even a proper stripper outfit. As I went to a Catholic, all-girl, high school with uniforms (grey cardigan, white three-quarter length sleeve blouse, skirt in kind of a red, white, grey, green plaid pattern with knife pleats, headbands/hairbows/ribbons/barrettes in a matching plaid, and we could wear grey, cream, or black tights; nude pantyhose, and knee-high cream/grey/black socks in the spring. Five months after graduating this school, I had started dancing, and I still had my uniform. One night, I decided to make a few changes to my old uniform, and wear it that night at the club. I made the skirt into a micromini, tied the shirttails of my blouse under my breasts, unbuttoned it veeery low in the front, put on my Sacred Heart* medal (don't want to say the real name of the medal I was wearing, as it'll make it so obvious where I went to HS if I do!), put in a cute navel ring, brushed my hair into two high, flippy pigtails; secured by my plaid hairbows, traded my pantyhose for thigh highs held up by an ivory lace/eyelet garter belt w/ a red bow (I was also wearing an ivory lace/eyelet bra and thong with a red bow adorning the center of each), and finally, stepped into a pair of black high-heeled T-strap Mary Janes (these weren't even proper stripper shoes, and only 5" high).
That night, every man in the club LOVED my sexed-up uniform, and the lingerie underneath it. I've gotten more compliments on that outfit than I'v gotten on any other item in my stripper wardrobe, including a $350 custom-made cashmere and Swarovski crystal gown! Although I've had many successful nights as a dancer, that night definitely falls in my top three nights in terms of financial success, and I'm certain it was all because of my modified schoolgirl uniform- and the fact that I was almost still a schoolgirl myself probably helped too... ;)

Sorry everyone for leaving smack in the middle of an unfinished post, but anyway, I'm back and have got some more to write!
So as I was saying, to make the schoolgirl look work (IMO anyway!), you have to look like you could still actually be going to school in a uniform, i.e. younger than a lot of other dancers. A stripper friend of mine summed it up this way: if you have to show I.D. to prove you're 17+ whenever you want to see an R-rated movie, then you probably look young enough to pull off the schoolgirl look successfully. If you don't look like you're anywhere from 13-17, the look can easily become a parody.
In addition, as I stated earlier, this look requires very minimal jewelry, in contrast to the high-glamour look most strippers go for. While I spend most of my time as a dancer in supersexy&dramatic makeup, tousled&voluminous bedroom hair, and glittery, shiny, metallic, bejeweled, or sparkly dancewear in loud colors and patterns that leaves very little to the imagination. Essentially, strippers typically project a high-glamour, hyperfeminine, sex goddess-y image that deliberately aims to attract the most attention possible.
After seeing myriad dancers in schoolgirl outfits (few can pull it off), I've come to the conclusion that one must be the antithesis of the typical stripper to look convincing as a schoolgirl. For example, childlike pigtails or ponytails and minimal makeup look much better with a parochial school uniform than long, teased extensions and a smokey eye with fake lashes. Also, dancers that are petite/have childlike bodies and features are especially good at making the schoolgirl look work. While I can't exactly say what makes the look appealing, IMO, it projects an innocent, sort-of accidental sexiness, as well as naive nubility.

@Stiletto25: I'm very sorry if I offended you in my review, but I was just being honest about my experience at that particular club. I agree that it's probably much nicer than the old Rick's, and seeing as I went during a weekday afternoon, the best dancers were most likely not on shift. I don't mean to disrespect you personally or anything if you worked at the former Rick's-at any club, there are gorgeous/hospitable/friendly dancers as well as hideous/grumpy/pushy ones, so I wasn't inplying that you were one of the latter. Basically, what REALLY irritated me about my attitude was the attitude of the dancers: I've been to several clubs (as a customer), and most of the time, the girls are pretty friendly to me and other female visitors (often, more so than the male ones). However, when I went to DreamGirls at Rick's, nearly all of the dancers on shift were rude to me, had openly hostile attitudes, and seemed to regard me as potential interloper/competition. IMO, the very best dancers that bank every night aren't necessarily the most gorgeous or talented, but they do have the friendliest, welcoming personalities, and they give every customer the VIP treatment, are engaging without being pushy, are good at making all customers feel at ease, and lavish attention on all visitors (Good looks and personal hygiene don't hurt, but aren't as important as the other traits). Essentially, you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. I would've given DreamGirls at Rick's a MUCH better review had the girls been nicer to me, but they weren't, so I don't think it's unfair to mention everything that I disliked about the club.
In addition, MBOT is somewhat raunchy as clubs go, and it wasn't my favorite place to work at, but I was attracted to it because of it's famous reputation, extremely difficult audition process, sexy dancers (nearly every girl there is probably a 9-10), unique stage setup, and the fact that the dancers are allowed to set their own prices for dances. Granted, the dances are very close-contact, but the girls who dance there don't look used-up and like they have severe B.O. If I had to catch chlamydia, I'd rather get it from a superhot, naked girl grinding against me, as opposed to merely looking at a grumpy, prematurely aging dancer who looks like she escaped from the CDC.

Thanks SO much for giving me a shoutout, CTQWERTY!!!!!, Seeing this was a very nice introduction to being a TUSCL member :), and I really, really appreciate all of the positive comments-they definitely made my day! Also, I've got some new pics up, and more coming, for anyone that's interested, and I'll continue to update which clubs I'm dancing at, if anyone wants to know, just PM me ;).
@mmdv26: Thanks so much, and I'm glad you like the 30DD's! I've got some topless pics of them on my profile, if you'd like to see. And I'll definitely let everyone know which clubs I end up at-my dream is to dance across America, so maybe I'll run into you sometime :)
@rh48hr: Thank you honey! Also, you are HOT as hell!!! I bet you've got a ton of regs :)
@Rlionheart: Nope, no catch! I promise :).
@sharkhunter: Thank you! Writing/reading about dancing is one of my favorite things to do (besides the dancing itself, LOL), so I'm glad to know someone thinks I'm good at it :). Also, sorry about the lack of pics: I can't show my face because there are literally no people OTC who know about my night job, so I have to be really careful about that. But, I do have some new pics, and will continue to post more in the future :)
@mjx01: Thank you! I'm glad you like the pics (there are more to come)!
@GoVikings: Thanks so much! Maybe I'll see you one day, as I've heard MN actually has a lot of good clubs to work at...any particular favorites?
@Dougster: I'd love to meet you too :) Hopefully, I actually can one day and give you a dance (I'd LOVE to dance across the U.S. someday!)

IMO, 1 in 4 black males statistically will be incarcerated, as opposed to 1 in 20 white males, not because of poverty-related crimes, but because of POLICE RACISM! More black men are arrested serve time because the police are MUCH more likely to bother a black man standing on a street corner than a white man doing the exact same thing. These statistics are skewed not because blacks commit more crimes than whites, it's because policemen are prejudiced, along with the entire justice system.
