Integrating PayPal into Stripper Payment Options
The other night while I was working, I asked Marc for a dance. He said he would like to but had run out of cash.  Half jokingly I mentioned that I accept Paypal. His eyes got big and he said, “You do? Okay.” He got out his smart phone, logged in to his Paypal account then handed me his phone. I entered in my business Paypal email and he transferred $40 into my account.
Could this be a new way to accept table dance money? If you have a customer that would like a dance(s) from you but doesn’t have the cash, you have nothing to lose by having another option for payment.
What are the risks? As far as getting the money goes, the risks are fairly low when transferring money from one Paypal account to another. However, you’ll need to make sure you protect your personal account information – such as real name, email address, and possibly home address and phone number. I recommend you jump through the hoops and get a merchant account. Think of it as an investment and a business expense that is tax deductible (for those of you who actually claim taxes, that is). Another risk may be that your club won’t appreciate you exercising your right to alternative payment forms. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep this on the down-low with club employees and other girls.

What do I have to do in order to protect my identity? Here’s a brief list of steps you will take to set up a merchant account that will protect your personal information:
*What to call your business? Think of a business name that is unassuming – one that if some one’s wife were to look at a receipt, she wouldn’t freak out and he could easily explain.
*Set up a mailing address with some place like Mailboxes Plus, UPS Store, or a local service. Make sure it is an actual physical address not a P.O. Box. Also set it up in your business name.
*Using your new business address, register your business name with the state in which you live. You can do this at your local state office or online.
*Once you have your State Tax Id number, you’ll want to set up your Merchant Account with Paypal. Click below for more information about a Business Account with Paypal.

*Its also a good idea to get a bank account in the name of your business. Most banks offer free checking and/or savings accounts. You can link your Paypal and bank account so the money goes into your bank account automatically.
What do I name my new Paypal account? That’s easy – your business name.
How do I go about making payment options known to customers? When you are explaining the run down of the different dance and VIP room packages, just include Paypal in the list of payment options. Make sure that you explain the process with the customer as simply as possible. If they get confused, they will lose confidence in a process that is unfamiliar and shy away from spending money.
The whole process sounds more complicated than it really is and takes less than a week to get completely set up. Most questions are answered on the state website for new businesses. Just do a Google search for “register new business in *your state here* and follow the instructions. Easy peasy!

In a word?

Yes.

But allow me to explain. It has to do with how well you have taken care of yourself over the years and if plastic surgery is an option for you. For most women, your skin begins to lose its elasticity at about 40. That means that is when wrinkles begin to appear and flabby arms and even your butt begins to sag. However, if you look into facial peels, microderm abrasion, and other procedures you can still dance for quite a while.

The photo is of Tempest Storm and at 81 she still performs her burlesque shows in Vegas, NV. I’m not saying everyone can be a Tempest Storm but you don’t have to stop at 35 either.

If you are in the industry and are approaching 30 – stop freaking out! Women don’t reach their sexual maturity until about 30-34. It happened at 31 for me. Sexual maturity doesn’t mean you get super horny either. It is a change in attitude about sex and you’ve had enough experiences to know how and what it is you want from your partner. You also gain the ability to communicate it. This maturity is amazingly sexy to virtually everyone around you. I would wager that you will make more money after 30 than before.

In the fantasy world, young men drool over the experienced woman who knows what she’s doing and older men appreciate her confidence – meaning he doesn’t have to baby her ego.

This may seem like a silly post for some of you. But so many times I have been frustrated by eye makeup tips sites and YouTube tutorials. I try out the look but can’t seem to get it right. Something just looks off or the look I like doesn’t really look good on me. I’ve even gone to the M.A.C. website and printed off the ‘maps’ that tell you step by step how to create the look. Only sometimes does it actually look good. Once you get frustrated, then you get into a make up rut – stuck with a look that over time becomes stagnant.

One thing I’ve noticed that eye makeup experts don’t tell you anywhere on the net is because eye shapes are so different, you will not get the same look as on the model unless your eye shape is the same as hers. It makes sense but why don’t they tell you? Because they secretly want to keep you confused and spending money.

My suggestion is when doing a search on the net for eye makeup, put the shape of your eye in the search query.
For example: ‘eye shadow tips for almond eyes’.
If you don’t know what shape eyes you have, do a google search for ‘different eye shapes’ and match up to the one closest to your eyes. Also you can search by the color of your eyes to get the most dramatic effects.
For example: ‘eye shadow tips for blue eyes’.

Once you know your eye shape, then you can go back to YouTube and find the best how to videos to help you get that perfect new look you crave.

Don’t wait until you are getting ready for work to try a new look. If you end up not liking the way it looks on you, you are either stuck with it or run the risk of being late for your shift – probably reverting back to your old stand-by techniques to save time.

Earlier in the afternoon, spend an hour or so just practicing your eye make up. When it comes time to get ready for work, you’ll already know what to do. This will save time in the long run  and will ensure that you will feel good about the way you look.

You can also always go to the M.A.C. counter and ask for your make-up to be done by a pro – usually for free. Just make sure that you buy something. They will tell you how to re-create the look you want so you can do it yourself.

And for Godsakes, don’t ask your friend to do your makeup simply because you like the way she does hers. All too often she thinks it looks great and you wont like it but can’t really say anything for fear of hurting her feelings. It’s better to just not go there.

Instead ask her to go shopping with you. Who knows, maybe you’ll both come away with an exciting new look.

Cheers,
