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!

Is There A Stripper Age Limit?
Filed Under Strippers/Entertainers | 2 Comments
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.

Falling Strippers, Oh My!
Filed Under Strippers/Entertainers | Leave a Comment
So tonight, I witnessed a train wreck on stage. I have never in all my years dancing ever see someone fall so…complete. Usually there is an occasional stumble. Acceptable considering the stilts we strap onto our feet and call shoes. And sometimes there is an actual fall where you step on something as benign as a piece of ice on the floor.
But this girl…oh man.
I was sitting with a gent in between stages 2 and 3. Stage 3 happened to be in the background while I was chatting. I see this itty bitty girl with great big 8 inch heels standing on the rack, when suddenly her shoe rolls out from under her. She lands on her thigh/butt on the rail, bounces into a chair, and tumbles onto her ass on the floor. As I jumped out of my chair, hiding my smile, I could almost hear the little birdies flying in a circle above her head! She sat there on the floor stunned in wonderment. I tried to help her up but, being embarrassed, she refused. She got back on the stage, took her other shoe off and ‘danced’ the rest of the set. @_@
I went back to the table and my guy asked what had happened. “Gravity kicked her ass!”, I replied this time not hiding my smile and a chuckle.
Moral of the story?
Being sexy while drunk is impossible and gaining height via stripper shoes should be obtained by gradual progression.
Way to keep up the stereotype girlfriend!
