I gotta agree , even from a woman’s perspective, what’s the point of you can’t even talk? Or enjoy one another? I don’t just mean in the job but in life. If you can’t actually enjoy time spent, why do it?

@gammanu ? Not sure where that came from

Lmao!!! See? Told ya, baby stripper here. Well bout to hit my one year mark ,however. I learn new things every day! Lol thank you guys for all your great questions and advice!!

Lol ok what am I missing here?

@sir very cool. I don’t travel up there too much lately but I may look soon for a few clubs to change it up with :)

I just worked all the shifts I could. Days nights. Didn't matter. Where that fell short, I also did online pictures and video sales. Private events. Really just hustled where I could find it.

@Desert 1.ever been turned on by a customer? A- Of course!! 2.did you ever masturbate thinking about a customer? A- frequently 3.can we pics of your pussy?? A- Not free. I charge for those :) but you're welcome to purchase them! @ Sir- You are so kind! Thank you for clarifying! I understand your point entirely. Never looked at it that way. Gotta say though, if some of the gals I've met, aren't considered "aggressive" at it, then I'm truly glad I don't work in bigger places! lol. lol sounds good. So where is "up Here " for you? Any guidance is appreciated :) I'm only now nearing my 1 year mark of dancing at public clubs .

@walla - very well put. and just like any other bar, there's a lot of familial situations that occur within the club as well if you're there for long. Especially with regulars. Just like anyone else, we have good days and bad days. We have moments of confidence, and those of insecurities. If you came in having a truly horrific day, and truly appreciate it, when we sit and sincerely are there for you. Listening to your situation and doing the best we can to be supportive. ( As I would hope any good person would do) Why would it be so weird to think about the role being reversed? @Rev- I'd make sure that the person in whom you're taking a perceived kindness towards, is actually in need of it. I dont say that to slight your kindness, god knows I've been blessed many times similar acts of such. Merely that I've seen many nights where it's quite the opposite. Some of the highest paying customers I've ever seen, wanted nothing to do with thin gals. (Or in my case anyone over the age of 21). Basically those larger gals you speak of, were literally having $100 rained down on them while the rest of us just heard crickets when we hit the stage. I realize that this situation can change moment to moment depending on the crowd etc. Just keep in mind, everyone has a type, that's why clubs need to have a type for everyone.

@sir as an honest reviewer for local tourism I’d have to agree. After working at both and having frequented places like Sugar Shack (formerly Presley’s) I can definitely say that stars clubs in general, at least in my personal experience, are pusher clubs. They are vanilla, and cold. They push way too hard to get dances, and yes you might get a few dances that otherwise guys weren’t going to get, but they’ll probably never come back. I’m not into that sort of treatment to customers. That’s the really cool thing about firehouse, and admittedly a couple other clubs as well. However that can change with the girls. Currently we have several gals working with us from Stars. (As stars has been closed up until yesterday) So as much as I love the ladies personally, I know they’ve also brought some of that more intense hustle style. As far as Bridgeport , can’t speak to it personally, haven’t ever been up there but it’s reputation of being what they were trying to turn Salem stars into? Is enough to keep me away lol I will say that luckily things are ever changing. Now that it’s reopened who knows, the personalities of the clubs may shift again. I can say. That I’ve ever heard of it being passive aggressive? Lol please do explain! Hope you get a chance to come check us out someday. My schedule is ever fluctuating so please feel free to msg and see if I’m working. Would love to meet ya

@sir dance. You should def check out Salem. Firehouse of course I’m a bit biased! Lol today was the first day we could let people be inside again . We still have a capacity limit but man it felt good to not just be broadcasting to a tv outside. It was a great day shift. @cashman ok see , if he would’ve done Buffalo bill id been telling a whole different take! Lol @ decline to state - stripper etiquette, that is a bit of a long one. I feel that needs a whole other thread.! @goat - I have a 17 year old boy and a 9 year older boy, as well as a 1 year ole lab. I can’t keep food in the house as is! Lol thanks tho! @nicespice- I could probably be down for those towns honestly. I just lucked out as I live pretty close currently. And thanks for the props. It’s definitely been a hell of a learning curve!!! During the fires there were many days I was the only gal on day shift. Some of the gals said I’d been meritoriously advanced, that I was no longer a “baby stripper” lol. @sir , @spice, & @ fish- As far as the other clubs go, I only know a small amount personally abs more from all the traveling dancers I’ve met. I will day day shifts are tight a lot of times, however there are many night shifts that are as well. It can be quickly put to the test if someone doesn’t want to play by the rules thought. Stars I’m not a fan of. Not to say it’s a bad club at all. Just seems to feel cold . Both gals and customers. Not sure if that’s a draw or just situational. As is I work 5 day shifts a week and normally at least 2 night shifts on top of that. So currently not a lot of time to check out the other clubs @all Thank you to everyone! Especially @Muddy for being so kind as to include me and be patient with me. You guys are all awesome

Hey there!!! @sir, subset is one of our two sister clubs. I just auditioned there last week while we were shut down due to a power outage. But folks seemed chill up there. And who wouldn’t wanna hop right into that cage in the outdoor area!!

(Ok, going to combine to make it easier) 3. Any drama with your fellow dancers? A- none long-standing. There’s always the frustrating customer shares or sane outfits, moves, music etc. Right now it’s so slow every dollar really does count so it’s definitely got more cutthroat. New gals from closed clubs coming in and not following stripper etiquette etc. It's not a large enough place to be able to just go in work and leave. Part of the allure of the place I work is the familial small town vibe. I get it though. It's survival mode, and there's always going to be some sort of drama at any job. 4. What clubs have your worked at so far? Any you have on your radar to work at down the road? A-I’ve worked at only 2 public clubs, auditioned at 4 . As far as desired clubs in the future? None that I’ve set my sights on , I will probably just roll with it and see what happens. I have worked at Stars in Salem, Auditioned at Sugar Shack, and Sunset strip. Sunset is in Portland so I'm not really on the schedule there. I wanted it more as a backup etc. Its our sister club. Sugar shack wasn't a fan of me at the time lol however that was more personal opinion. It was for the best though. 5.& 6 Have you done extras? A- lol only "extra's" would be a few mins extra on a dance or price difference (mostly private clubs) 6. OTC? A- Off the clock I sell videos, pictures, I'll dance at events etc. No onlyfans lol 7. Any experiences in VIP that you regret? And how about on that was good? A. --Our VIP and private dance is one and the same. I’ve only had one dance I truly disliked and it was more the vibes. You somewhat expect a bit of an attempt or a “got caught up” touch from time to time but, this guy kept trying to anticipate where I was going to move to, so he could have his knuckles or fingers ready to try to "whoopsie" inside. All while he talked dirty. Not normal dirty either... this was Norman Bates meets silence of the lambs.. and when he got up he had his dick out .The really unnerving part? Prior to the dance he reminded me of Chris Cringle. Pretty sure I showered 10 x that night . Good ones? One of my first. Club was going to be closing in about an hour, and I was on stage and locked eyes with a customer , (gorgeous)he took me back to the room and we just talked and laughed , I kept trying to dance for him but he’d get me chatting with him again. He kept saying how impressed he was by my dancing, because I "actually danced". I really needed the encouragement at the time. He was a really good person and we still talk now and then 8. What do you like that a customer does (besides give you money) Appreciate what we do. Like actually watch my stage sets. Or notice things in them. I love performing honestly. Pole work, dancing (its a very large stage) So it means a lot. I also truly love it when they show you the respect of, their interest is in you. Not just any set of tits that walk up. Customers want to feel special, so do dancers. 9. What do you hate that they do? Get you to sit with them, for long periods of time then have a " change of heart" about buying dances etc. Its like cool, you know you couldve just said that . But now you've lost out on making money for however long. Also those that come into a strip club truly expecting to get you to go home with them. I realize it occasionally happens. However, it's truly the least likely place you'll actually score on picking up chicks. 10. How do you like how a customer dresses? Hate? A- I don’t really have a preference. I will say too long of a lap dance on jeans doesn't always feel the best lol 11. In bed, your favorite move somebody does to you? A- Now we're getting to the good stuff lol. Easy, that moment when they snap into primal mode. Example, if I’m on top, teasing and caressing, and they just cant take anymore, they pick me up and flip around....they just have to go all out ...You know that moment. You could be breaking everything in the house, and you wouldn’t feel it or care. You don't care if someone walks in. That true point of no return, no one's stopping. Its’s all instinct at that point. Purely primal. 12. How long do you see yourself dancing for? A- I know I can't do it forever. I'm already starting off doing it later in life. However I am grateful I did. I think I'll find ways to still dance somehow. Probably competitions or teaching classes or something. Its truly addictive. 13. What type of customer do you go after? Stay away from? A- I don't think I have a type so much. I try to see if they're looking at me or uninterested. Then probably it's an eyes thing. They just have a look in their eyes. 14. Ever fall for a customer? Ever have one fall for you? A- I think I've had an crush on fella or two. Nothing much more then that. Fall for? No. “Fall for", such intense verbiage! As far as customers, I believe I’ve had a few maybe, infatuated with the idea, of who they thought me to be, yes. 15. Can you describe the overall Oregon scene? A- Scene compared to? lol I've watched a lot of videos, cant say I've been to many other states or at least not too many clubs in other states. Seems like clubs here like to fall into categories. Young, Kinda snoody, Relaxed, Vegan, Themed etc. It can be hard to find where you fit sometimes. Or at least starting out. As you know it's not just the girls that you'll see a lot of in the same area, it's the customers, the bartenders etc. They're all within the same realm, or circles. 16. Is it true strippers are generally full of tattoos up there? A- Don't most people have tattoo's? Thought it was actually becoming the rebellious thing to not get ink done then to have it. "full of" we talking covered head to toe and eyeballs? Think I saw one in Mugshots once. lol Most of us have a few . It ranges from girl to girl of course. 17. How is is Salem different from Portland? Strip Club wise and everything else A lot more relaxed in Salem for the most part. Both Stripper wise and other. Finances are different in my area. Portland has the high end jobs. Folks travel to Portland from various areas to work. Sometimes they bring the money back to our areas, sometimes they don't. Customers in our area seem to want to find gals they can return to and see regularly. Feels like Portland, or bigger cities, the customers are just bored or wanting the quick lap dance while drinking with the buddies. Portland in general is its own entity. This last year being it's absolute biggest amount of crazy to date. To stay far away from politics, just about the city. I'm not a fan of Portland itself. Seems a lot of times it's a weird attempt at San Francisco in many ways, but failed while drinking the Kool-Aid

2. Loaded question lol or at least answer. I became friends with several dancers about two years ago I guess. I never had tried to be one nor had intended on it. They were quite a bit younger then me but due to circumstances we were somewhat "bonded" together for a bit I suppose you could say. So I heard their issues frequently and was around others with poles frequently. I tried designing tools or things to help them. Also I had been in a car accident in 2018. So one night my shoulder was really hurting, and I kept trying to stretch and stretch and just couldn't get that relief. I couldn't seem to move it far enough backwards to help. We were all hanging out at a kinda private club, I had been playing darts etc. The others were marinating outside. So I kinda looked around, made sure no one was there, and used the pole to stretch. I have to say it was the first time I had felt relief of any kind since my accident. lol the rest is pretty much history

1.Officially? lol I started dancing at Stars in Salem, April 2020. Prior to that I had played around, or tried learning the pole starting sometime in the fall of 2019
