Exotic dancing has been a blessing in disguise to so many women across the country. I’m Jennifer McCumber, former stripper, author of Freedom V, feature columnist for ED Publications Magazine and I’m leading the movement for dancer development at gentlemen’s clubs across the country.

Establishing your style as a stripper is fun and completely natural. We don’t ever really think about why we like the bustier on the mannequin at Frederick’s, or why a particular chemise excites us. We just see it, go try it on if we have time, and pull our wallets out if we can afford to buy it.
Whether you are shopping for regular everyday clothing or buying for a special occasion, you go and try a few outfits on at your favorite stores and choose what feels most satisfying to you. Even when you shop for comfort or affordability, your choices of clothing still matter.
What you wear and how you present yourself is the outward presentation to the world of who you are.
This kind of expression in relation to being a stripper makes a huge impact on your business. The cut of your thong, like the cut of your Capri’s, can make your figure look completely different than another cut might. That bottom piece to your outfit can make you look chunky or it can be slimming.
How well you are groomed speaks miles about how well you take care of yourself overall. I find that men in general don’t like a look that is too fake, but at the same time, you have to put on enough makeup to make a difference in your look, and present yourself in a way that is stunning from the stage.
Again and again we find that conventionally attractive people are assumed to be more intelligent, more honest, more responsible, etc. than people we find less attractive. It is a subconscious judgment and unfair at times, but we live in a physical and materialistic world whether we like it or not.
Men place a significantly higher value on physical appearance in a partner than women do. This has to do with evolutionary psychology and how our ancestral human males sensed a more fertile reproduction rate in women who had the following features:
1. Symmetrical face
2. Full lips
3. Low waist to hip ratio
4. Proportion of body mass to body structure (or % body fat)
5. Youthful appearance
6. Straight, elongated vertical posture
Later in this video series we are going to go into how to choose the sexiest stripper outfits for your body type, but for now, I want to get your own wheels turning and discover the basics of what men will look for at your club so that you can get a head start!

Dance Wear from Tabu Toys
Shopping for stripper clothes can be frustrating. Finding a size that fits and complements your body type while bringing out your complexion, minimizing flaws, and having easy on and off quality for lap dances is a must. I have searched high and low for a company that I can rely on. I present to you TabuToys.com!
The two stripper outfits contained in this post are comfortable dance wear dresses that I would like to talk about specifically. First off is the yellow dress. As you will see it has a nice open-back look with a vertical slit in the front at the chest with extra cloth material around the tummy to hide a pooch! However, you will not “look” pregnant in this dress because of the nice offset that you get with the tight skirt section which shows off a slimming thigh line.
There are a few reasons why I recommend this dress as a dance wear dress for stripper clothes. First, it is so comfortable that you could sleep in the outfit! Second, it comes on and off very very easily. The last thing that a stripper needs is to be fooling around with a complicated outfit for 5 minutes every time you put it on or take it off. That wastes your hard-earned time and money!
This dress only comes in yellow which looks best if you have at least a little tan, but I hadn’t tanned one bit this spring and it looked fine in these pictures! Of course, I have a natural olive complexion but I still get white in the winter! It will be fine in the club especially since the lights are more dim there. Lastly, the rhinestone piece that ties this dress around your neck is absolutely stunning!

Jenn on Stage!
Throughout my career as an exotic dancer I’ve seen it all. I know you know what I mean! Stripping has a way of educating you on all sorts of people, how to act in social situations, how to dress and shape your body, how to develop a winning edge in your sales skills and how to be an independent business woman.
I’ve come up with this list of the top 10 ways that you can be successful as an exotic dancer – whether you are just learning how to become a stripper or whether you’ve been dancing for 10 years. It will also embed success skills for when you move on in your life and in your career. Having this visual in your locker, dressing room, mirror or refrigerator will work wonders at helping you to stay on your A game!
1. Find your inner hunger and your inner passion, and commit yourself to living it. Let your desire to attain your dreams fuel your will and your drive to succeed. Be flexible and learn to rebound when obstacles appear. Having tough skin and a solid sense of yourself and your goals is necessary in life and in this business.
2. Determine what you really want out of life. Turn that knowledge into your life goal. What are you willing to do–or do without–in order to achieve it? Write it down and remind yourself daily what you are going to achieve. There is no reward without sacrifice, but the greatest sacrifice is living without reward. Don’t let anything stop you!

Health and Comfort Win with Women’s Thongs!

Women’s thongs are a perennial favorite at strip clubs because they reveal as much as possible without being illegal or revealing too much! However, one mistake I see new dancers make is in their selection of which thongs to wear at work.
If you’re expecting to be successful and build regulars, you’re going to work long hours. Let’s face it, 6 hours is a long time to be dancing, much more so if you’re working 8-10 hour shifts. This is a long time for things to go wrong with your girlie bits because you’re wearing an unsuitable thong!
G-String Materials as Your First Consideration
The first, most obvious mistake is in the material; not all fabric is created equal. Satin, leather and latex are all very sexy and extremely common materials for women’s thongs and g-strings, but you don’t want to wear them hours at a time. These materials aren’t very breathable, and a lack of air to your bits can lead to odor problems and yeast infections.
The only material that avoids this issue is cotton. It’s not only the most comfortable material (more on this in a sec), but it’s the only material that breathes sufficiently to keep your plumbing working properly.
While you may think that it’s the least sexy fabric out there, it doesn’t matter that much in the dim lights of a strip club. Customers are more concerned with the dancer’s ability to entertain than the kind of fabric she’s wearing.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that you can’t integrate sexier fabrics into your costume wardrobe. Just remember to alternate less breathable fabrics with cotton thongs to help keep your body in balance.
As hard as it may be to find 100% cotton thongs, I recommend the ones at www.snaz75.com because they are the MOST breathable and durable for dancing!
Wear a Thong that Fits
How the thong fits is another important issue. Many dancers think that a tight thong is the high point of sexiness, but it can cause many potenitally unsexy things to happen. At the top of the list is chafing. Having a thong that you can pluck like a guitar string will leave marks on your skin—the straps can leave marks on your hips, and it can also abrade your skin, especially if you shave your labia.
A loose thong can bring up more issues with your vaginal health. Most of us don’t want to think of it, but a loose thong can transfer e coli bacteria from the back to the front, causing bacterial vaginosis or urinary tract infections. It also doesn’t consistently cover everything that needs to be covered, creating potential hygiene issues for other dancers, as well.
While it may seem silly to make a big deal about the kinds of underwear a dancer chooses to wear, it really can make an impact on your health and work. Keeping your body healthy should always be a high priority!

Sexy stripper shoes are a staple of Gentlemen’s Clubs. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad one is up to you! But the fact of the matter is that stripper shoes aren’t going away any time soon!
With a typical height of 5″ or more, these high-heels can be real killers if you haven’t prepared yourself for the ordeal (and nothing spells “ordeal” for your feet like six hours in heels!) So, how do you avoid killing yourself while wearing them? Read on to learn the top three things you can do to help prevent injury and make the ordeal as comfortable as possible.
Be a Size Queen
No, not like that! I’m talking about shoe size here, and how important it is to actually wear the right one. Too many women pry their feet into too-small shoes, which can do devastating damage to the feet over the long-term.
Aside from the blisters, too-small shoes will compress the bones, nerves and connective tissues of the foot, resulting in damage and eventual deformity. Think of it Chinese foot binding on a smaller scale (and have you ever seen an X-ray of the results? Totally horrifying.)
Truly, it’s just a number, folks–try to avoid an emotional attachment to a size 6 if you really need to be wearing a 7 wide. If you wear the wrong size, you will eventually destroy your feet–and you certainly need those if you’re going to dance!
