Kind of tossed at this convo on one hand I think it's good that she's still able to move around as a dancer at 60 but on the other hand I think why does she need to be still doing it at 60 I guess I am lucky to have my kids love me and care for me that I haven't had to work for quite a few years

In my experience I have in general liked most of my customers the only ones that I really get disgusted over are the ones who sort of physically try to restrain me and only give me like a dollar tip like they're doing me a favor now honestly I'm talking about many years ago when I worked and then they start talking some b******* about how they like to take me out and I'm like dude if you're trying to hold me here for 5 minutes and you're only giving me a dollar or two then your cheap as s*** so no thanks

@misterorange guess you have to be from philly or surrounding areas,,,a little magazine about dance clubs and dancers

I will have to look into it and seeing if at least the copies that I have have anything from cheerleaders in them

The last three clubs I worked at one was Jack's in Philadelphia Charlie Pros and the other dangerous curves turned into Club risque at Jack's we had a jukebox and there was no silence in between sets for the girls you went up and played your songs during the second song of the three song Set by the time that girl got down you were on your way to the stage and honestly everybody kept pretty in Step I'd like to say cuz generally you made most of your money doing stage work and then you would come off the stage and they would hand you money across the bar to stick it between your boobies The only thing I hated about it is that they didn't change the music for months and months and months so we had to listen to the same songs for like three or four or five months and I'm pretty sure it didn't really cost the owner hardly anything to let the vendor change out the music I mean he came and all the time to collect his money and we didn't pay for the Jukebox that was on the bar's dime so to speak,, And I worked there for about 5 years so that's a lot of listening to the same songs for a good amount of time songs that I love the lot and just rather not hear them anymore Working at Charlie Pro's which was around the corner from Jack's Google bar which is now called Brianna's Charlie's is actually the last bar that I retired from I was there for like 3 or 4 years they also played for a jukebox at the bar paid for then they got the bright idea that they could do like the big boy bars gentlemen clubs that they could have and not pay the girls to work there and Jack started with the pay too before we used to get a small supplemental pay to just show up that way it ensures that girls are always there and then they both sort of went to you get paid every other time you work then it went you got paid on your third time more of this at Jack's then of course some girls just wouldn't even show up so like me and my girlfriend we only live two or three blocks so we were always getting called so we didn't care if we were getting paid or not cuz they actually went down to nobody should work there more than two shifts per week well that didn't turn out so good for them because me and her were always getting call to go in Then Charlie went right to not paying anything thinking that they had one little cubicle with a chair in it with a curtain around it that that would be a good way for the girls to make money which was $20 and I think you had to give 10 of it to the bar well of course most of the guys didn't really go for that and I'm kind of thinking most of the girls didn't really like it either especially that they were getting paid to even go there so what eventually happened is even though every girl had a schedule to go there the girls previously scheduled or postly scheduled would just stay excessively longer get dressed hang out with a few customers that were there and the customers would just you know slipping money and inside their blouses or down their pants or whatever and so when it was time for the girls to come off stage there were no customers to go to or the customers would already be tapped out from the other girls who stayed past their shift or came in earlier to try to grab as much money as they could and as far as I can remember once all that started happening they didn't stay into business too long and of course neither did Jack's And then I worked at Club risque so kind of around the same time I wound up retiring from like all three of them like in succession but I think Jax was first and then risque and then Charlie's by the time only going down maybe twice a week there already had secured a regular part time job I liked it much better when it was dangerous curves so most of my time was when it was dangerous curves and just a couple months when it was Club risque but they had their own DJ so we could pick around music so I kind of like that but being the oldest dancer there that I know of they didn't really have any sixties and seventies music that I could really rock out to that they did have a DJ for a short time that I would tell him some of the music and he would actually get it and play it for me when I was there and a lot of the guys were really surprised hearing stuff and seeing a dance are actually dance to stuff from the '60s and '70s

I don't know what her name is but she was in Wu Tangs Clan the Gravel Pit video,,, I thought how awesome it was for her to land that particular little role I was so jealous🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕

I think the dancers today don't really want to be dancers they work at the clubs until they find that special person that they are looking for,,, That is also why I think that you just see some girls sitting over in some spot and they don't really interact with any customers either because they're not seeing anybody of Interest to get them where they need to be or have some arrangement with someone but you never know they are still always looking for the next best thing so they just show up at the club keep thier eyes and ears open and wait for the next best thing to come along,,,

No one can say that they are the highest paid stripper in the number one strip club because almost all strip clubs think they're number one and a lot of dancers think their number one 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

This is what real dancers look like back in the day and man I miss those days when everybody was just cute and and perky now everybody has just so much fakeness going on not only in the way they look but in the way they talk and act

married,,,unmarried,,,who cares,,,never known a dancer to not dance for anyone who wasnt dishing out the money,,,and lots of dancers are married themselves or are in long term commited relationships,,,i just assume most customers are married,,,since i have worked steady in lots of places you eventually find out,,,

Places still have House Moms,,,

I am a private dancer

gee wilakers,,,

so cute before touch ups

turned 64 today

Being a Stripper,, I beg to differ,,,though I was the middle child and not poor,, I had a talent for dancing at an early age,, I had lots of friends was well known in school (never had sex with any classmates and didnt mix them with my outside friends) Have a high iq,,well spoken ,,,knowledgeable had high self esteem,,,danced from 17-22 then back in the biz 35-50 juzt cuz i loved to dance,,

very interesting,,,but

men are complaining that the ladies are too aggressive or too nonchalant its a mixed bag of what men want or what the ladies want to do,,,

criteria for a dancer,,,so your looking for a stepford dancer!

That list is actually going to change as I have been researching the bars and clubs I've worked at over my early career and my later career one or two places I thought I worked I didn't and then I found one or two places that I did work that I forgot about or it change names and I didn't really know what it was called so I kind of bypassed it at the time I made the original post of all the places I thought I worked plus trying to remember where and when I worked 20 to 40 years ago is quite a feat

I never billed myself as a stripper so none of these terms reflect on me or my career

I have only met 1 Honey in my time as a dancer and have heard of 2 others,,but before I started my second stint at dancing in 94/95 I was billed as Honey a couple of months later for all the following years HoneyDewMelons some clubs only allowed HoneyDew and only 1 club only allowed Honey,,,

is this discussion for oldest bars still in operation or now defunct locations?
