to san_jose_guy: how should dancers make that mental and emotional connection to a strip club patron? Above all they should just attempt.But the guy will try to resist as there they are spoilt for choice.A solid natural color on a girl would speak to him and make her come across as fundamentally relatable/obvious choice.

to san_jose_guy: darling I can tell you are a passionate writer.I think you should start your own separate blog away from here,complete with illustrations.Can you draw? Well doesn't matter,you can draw something like freestyle comics depicting your strip club adventures, or you can try to express how you feel using moving GIF images from popular movies. I think people would wanna see it - what really goes on in that head of yours! Words can sometimes fail us.My best wishes.

to Papi_Chulo: thanks for 'digging' the power gown, and in case if you want to get to know her body better it will cost you the price of at least one dance or some tips near the stage! :)

to gawker: I agree sky blue outfit can really contribute to the lasting mental image in a guy as it’s like a breath of fresh air, a color of pure oxygen, communication and emotional security, inflating and evocative in feng shui it signifies abundance and opportunity.
to san_jose_guy: yes the outfits do need to come off but there’s a point in dressing with intention using colors: to stand out in a crowd of beautiful women in various stage of undress and make that arresting ‘posh’ first impression then be able to instantly upsell.
to lopaw: male and female brain is different. Males have larger right hemisphere, which is responsible for processing colors and images and is intuitive, so they follow it more, are prone to acting on impulse and can be very reactive to subliminal advertisement. Women can use their whole brain when making decisions including the left side, which controls critical thinking, reasoning and language.
to shadowcat: yes I’m british but I’ve met countless American guys when working in London, Edinburgh and Harrogate in UK, I know too well how nations differ and what would work for different cultures, I have the whole chapter complete with a table that includes US, Canada, UK and Australia where I describe what sort of look, colors and style they want on a dancer. US guys are especially visually oriented whether they aware of it or not.
to PhantomGeek: I agree some men are more heavily interaction oriented than others, but still for dancers it does help to advertise smart!
to mjx01: I disagree, there is difference between advertisement and exposure. What I did here is invited an open discussion (I have no control over) on my favorite industry topic - the outfits! If too many men argue with my article surely I am doing more harm to my book sales than favor? Also if my article was an advertisement the tuscl founder wouldn’t publish it. It was a lot shorter initially and he sent me an email saying it seemed incomplete and more detail is needed and that I was welcome to edit and resubmit. Hope this suffices.
to lostsoffun201: I’d have to agree - g-string and bra don’t create much of a unique or personal image, what is being advertised is basically flesh, and the going rate for that alone is very competitive in big and ‘open-minded’ clubs.
to Papi_Chulo: some guys prefer dives where women walking around nearly naked and want to be spoilt for choice of what body to go for, but they are different from a guy who wants to go to middle-class or higher end club and be surrounded by charming ladies. There’s all sort of demand and supply out there, its a free market, but I find if a dancer has to make a choice on how she wants to make decent money in the strip industry then it’s a choice between doing ‘extras’ and creating a fantasy (and upsell).
to SlickSpic: burlap sounds fun. I think it’s a valid dressing strategy if a dancer wants to collect charitable donations towards a warm meal and a generic stripper outfit lol

Hey everybody, thank you for your replies, I’m happy there’s keen interest here in the subject I’m so passionate about, I didn’t expect any less of you, after all US customers are the most visual and outspoken type in the whole world. Now to my responses, I’ll try to attend to everyone:
To shailynn: very helpful feedback, yes color yellow is the most approachable of all the colors and a bright yellow bikini is as catchy as vibrant blonde hair full of highlights. Color white is obviously most visible in nightclubs, especially with dark lighting and works guys better than neons since it communicates peace, serenity, freshness and newness and signifies new beginnings. Also although as you said women tend to go for ‘safe’ black, feminine pinks or bold reds, research shows that men’s favorite and most trustable color is blue, with shades of green coming second on the list. Also when I say gowns I don’t mean a trench coat lol, of cause it can be tiny and flaunt all the key assets, but if a dancer has got a show-stopping body I agree colorful bikinis are the best.
Here’s an example of a ‘power’ gown in the strip industry, just like a ‘power suit’ in corporate world: http://spurst.com/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/Deep_Plunge_Mini_541cc12fa4f2d.jpg
