No way, Iâm actually shocked that you know of Nanaimo, let alone have been there. I gotta say, you just went up a notch in my books. The place you went to is probably The Globe - a real classy joint! haha
Iâm not sure that the Globe is even in business right now. It seems to go out of business every once in a while before someone else tries their hand at running it. Itâs basically just a bunch of Hellâs Angels that go there so it can get a little seedy at times too.
The strip club âsuper sexâ in Montreal is pretty good.
I went there while I was in high school (we were in a hockey tournament in MTL). My name was Brian Mcgee, from B.C. My ID age was 23 or 24 (cant remember) but I looked like I was about 13. I was in grade 11 (so age 16).
We all ended up getting busted by the cops. Fun times.
The establishment I work at is of a different nature than what you guys have experienced. I will even go so far to say as there is a difference between âstrip clubsâ and âgentlemanâs clubâ . They both have downfalls and perks. Obviously you all seem to be describing the âstrip clubâ. Perks âŚ(more likely extras, cheap, downright unforgetable (even if you want to forget!) DownfallsâŚ(girls often 80% hacksaw, seedy and emabarassing) The Gentlemanâs club âŚperks⌠(better looking women, often full resturant + full top shelf bar, enviroment is less sleazy) downfalls⌠(much more PG rated experience, more expensive). And those are more guidlines than rules âŚthe place I work with can lean more in the âstrip clubâ direction during the crappy shifts where the girls who let themself go still try to hustle a few bucks.
Dress code is a big difference. In the strip clubs you wear whatever whore- wear you want. No dress code for the dancers. Where I work, we have to wear a specific kind of sturdy g-string and also, after 7pm, are required to wear âgownsâ. That just means sexy long dresses, they can be two piece. So no, Bchad, wonât be just lounging about in a g-string and bra⌠(tacky!) I have taken to purchasing non-stripper dresses for work. I am 36 so I donât want to wear the gaudy crap they make for the young dancers. Here is an actual Norma Kamali dress that I bought and work in very often. Again, I limit the men I will appeal to since it is more conservative, but I tend to attract the kind who donât want to hang with a âstripperâ. I might miss out on some money, but I also donât have to deal with the crap I hear some of the other girls(who dress more like strippers) complain about.
my point exactly⌠I get the guys who just wanna go back and cuddle or whatever. They donât want some raunch dry hump dance! Some guys just like the therapy of feeling close to someone⌠thats my niche. (not to say a couple grabby scum bags sneak past my radar⌠but thats why they call it work!)
I guess my only question is how were you able to compete at such a high level as a triathlete while working odd hours as a stripper shaking the money maker? There is a huge disconnect here but please carry on.
dances are interactive⌠but there are ground rules that are a definite red line you/ them canât cross. yep⌠sometimes they smell! This job insât for everyone, but it does not bug me.
This job was specifically why I was able to train an elite program and still be able to eat. We make our own hours⌠5 hours shifts, work longer if you want. I am working a ton of hours right now since I am moving and want to afford to make the place look like the restoration hardward catalog. When I was training 20-30 hours a week, I only worked about 15-20 hours/ week. I remember doing bike rides on my trainer at 2am because that is the schedule I was on. actually working at night is ideal⌠since then you have the middle of the day to do outdoor workouts
