HDM, when I first read this conversation, I immediately thought “what will HDM’s comment be”. “Oy vey” is a bit more succinct than I expected but the sentiment was exactly what I expected.

Bizarre indeed. Security guy at a SC handcuffs reportedly belligerent customer(he’s got a little blood on his t shirt). Customer leaves SC with his wife, she is driving, and get into an accident. Police arrive and subsequently go back to the club. Security guy is cool and collected, decked out in relatively authentic badge, police vest and has a fed gov plate on his car. Plate is stolen and at least some of the accoutrement he bought off eBay.
Ironically the fake LEO was probably very good at his SC security job.

@sinclair has it right. They put so much effort into being alluring, scent is absolutely part of it. A stripper ITC in VIP is likely going to be very spread and close up. Scent is part of the full package. For me even breath will hurt the moment.
But maybe not write her off yet. Agreed this isn’t something you can give her direct feedback on but this could have been a one off bad month for her, or a real bad and unusual week of eating, temporary medicine she’s taking or similar that can cause a temporary bad scent. Being a stripper she has just got to know of scent. Maybe try the indirect approach, ask her if she’ll wear a certain perfume, tell her that scent is a big thing for you. It’ll at least put the idea of scent in her head on the next meeting without the deal killing direct feedback

Yea that’s not right. They may close an hour early because business is paltry but someone coming in at 12:45 is then owed a refund or price off the bar tab. The one caveat is the non dancer side of the staff are likely not highly paid and at a very slow 1am are not enthusiastic about tracking down a customer to give back money. You’ll need to bring it to their attention to at least get free admission next time.

Owning a large home has advantages and disadvantages. The cost of a new roof is a definite disadvantage. It has meant spacing out the time between visits.
Ultimately it comes down to discretionary cash flow. If it slows down then trips to the SC need to slow down. Otherwise a hobby is now problem behavior

As @mate27 says, weight isn’t subjective. What a customer may like is subjective. Regardless, a SC review should include the visual appeal of the strippers. And Keeping weight in the optimal visual range is a part of making a SC get the higher visual rating. This is a looks business, that’s the reality. Strippers do a lot of aesthetics work, weight control should be one of them.
Now singling out a stripper by name and saying she’s fat? I wouldn’t but noting there are strippers overweight in a review? Absolutely.

Student loan repayment could cause a sprinkle of new or returning talent, hard to quantify, but we know there’s nothing like a good old recession to raise the bar on new/returning talent to the SC. Sure, people are hurt by a recession but as a famous man said: when there’s panic in the markets, there can be value in the SC.

It is non nude but this reviewer said: “Not so tonight! While most of the girls wore outfits that covered their tits and their crotches, there were plenty of booties on full display. (One girl even wore homemade band-aids over her nipples under a wide-knit body-suit. Other girls would slide their flimsy bras aside to briefly display their upper torsos”

@funontheside writes “I know it's an unpopular stance, but if you're not trying to finish, why do LD in the first place?”
I get it but your statement is under the assumption that right then and there all anyone is focused on is to bust one out. For me there’s more to it that I take enjoyment in…including what she’s doing is on point enough to permanently impress it into the mental Rolodex.

Never should have been an issue as it never should have been dropped. Of course there should be a level of decorum. Those pretending that doesn’t matter are choosing to turn a blind eye because, of course, it doesn’t fit their political feelings.

We aren't here for a long time, we are here for a good time.
Not completely uncommon for a smaller town to try to use regulation or lawfare to drive out a SC. But it can happen in larger population areas too. How the current media and political wind blows changes every handful of years.

@Big.Mac for the win.
To each their own but Gouged skin, twisted limbs, heads banging on each other, not erotic at all. OTOH, two strippers on one pole sliding around on each other, erotic.

Young pretty woman in her 20s hits stunningly extreme success in show business then begins to lose touch with reality as her star begins to fade and she gets a bit older. Precisely what is so hard to believe about that story? The videos may be over sensationalized but the underpinning story has been clear for some years regarding Brittany Spears. Or Tawny Kitaen or Heather Locklear etc. Brittany just has insta social media.
Mental health issues are real for many especially females. Now imagine she’s predisposed to it, makes tens of millions quickly, never has anyone say “no” to her while surrounded by suck ups in an ethically rotting culture of that business.

Oh boy! really looking forward to a Super Bowl halftime pole show that emphasizes inclusion, gender neutrality and body positivity along with abundant amounts of spandex performing nauseating twerking with a crowd of paid shills in front of the stage overacting that this is the greatest event eva!

They never tell you what you need to know.
Strippers could fall under “hospitality worker”.

On a moment’s notice your fuck buddy remembers she needs to study for an exam so she sends over a substitute fuck buddy, and how common is this? Huh…

She’s very pretty but if you look at just the face shots together of all the contestants, imo there’s another contestant with a prettier face.
These contests are so much about getting clicks, publicity and attention. But once again the most important question is, will she be working the SCs I frequent.

Schmidt probably is objectively the best all around but I think George Brett had an epic .400 batting year and plus gets big kudos for the infamous pine tar tv moment.

Breathe, breathe in the air
If you have an iPhone, perform a backup then disable backups. Now use a VPN and point to the same city, turn off your WiFi, turn off location services ((probably the same for Android but I don’t know. Android is more data intrusive)).
Go on trip. When you return, restore the backup and turn backups back on.
Your jaunt outside the US doesn’t exist on your iPhone once you restore the backup.

It’s perfectly ok to enjoy working with a colleague while sometimes thinking of her in sexual scenarios. that’s just the normal human mind in action. Sexual Objectification is a normal consideration of the human mind. You can either accept that reality or you can spend unnecessary mental energy lamenting that reality.

Low side of 50s.
@Minnow having memory of seeing the Apollo 11 moon landing live! elevates him to ultra legendary. It’s a stark contrast with my big sci-space memory being the space shuttle Columbia exploding shortly after takeoff. (a distant second being the childhood memory of the media lunacy of Sky Lab is falling)

Great read HDM. Write the book, do it. In the modern day you don’t need to have an established publisher. All you need is a person with some decent editor experience and you can self publish. There’s resources on line to get you started writing with structure. If you haven’t read it, the book I mentioned Sunshine Diary Of a Lapdancer would be a template.
Your experience I’ve seen also. In the apartment complex I lived in many years ago a stripper lived there (oh no! One of them). She would be at the pool and unsurprisingly she visually gained attention. Looks and a few comments from some of the females were unkind. I also dated an ex stripper (who stripper for close to a decade). She never made it known but two separate neighbors made reference to how she walked (apparently a bit of a stripper walk though I never thought anything of it).
I don’t know if it’s too late for a club, I guess it depends how much you want to work. Startups take a lot of attention, but someone who has something established but needs help could be something for you. But I have to say, the no touching is going to be a hard sell these days. The upcharge of lapdances and the cut from strippers working LDs is, I’m guessing, how a club keeps in the black.

One thing I don’t like about Taylor Swift - she has way too much money to have any need to be working at the SCs I frequent.

^^^ precisely correct bluesandbabes
It is not economic conditions, it is the lust for quicker bigger money (that we all have to a degree). There’s lots of job openings but you’ll put in 40 or more hours, it’ll likely be mundane, low prestige, and you’ll start at 40k to 45k.
Or you can work 9pm to 2am 4 nights a week wearing only panties but pull in 80k.
One is boring and you live a more basic existence. One is certainty not boring but has negative connotations (and pitfalls if not careful) affording you a better car, home, clothes — and that’s not counting ITC or OTC extras.
