I forget sometimes that strippers are like naked therapists. With all the couches and the talking, it’s really exactly what we are. We have a hard earned high hourly rate because we fulfill important needs. The importance of our services varies from client to client. The least-important service, I’d argue, is the physical stimulation. Beauty and physical contact are valuable commodities but I think people spend more when they fall for inner beauty. Your hooks are in deep when they fall in love with you as an individual. Your time and company are so much more valuable, as a stripper, when you’re the perfect one and you’ve made a lasting impression.
On that note, as a stripper, you parade around in your underwear talking to thousands of people a year and they often just blend together in your memory. When they come back and remember your name and all the details of your made-up personal history, they often expect you to recognize them, and more, be thrilled to see them. They’ve fantasized about you and imagined how nice life would be if you were a bigger part of it. You were the highlight of their trip to Vegas. You don’t remember their face and you definitely don’t remember their name.
I think we should have clipboards with profiles of good customers left in a slot in front of VIP rooms like they have at doctors’ offices. It would read “Joe Kapowski from Oklahoma City. Married 12 years. Pets: Golden retriever (Jingles), Siamese Cat (Fluffy).” What would also be great on this quick reference guide, besides maybe occupation and favorite sexual fantasy, would be a 1-to-5 scale of their level of interest in certain body parts to determine if they’re into tits, ass, feet or face. Just a thought. Anything to make it easier to help heal the broken hearts or broken hard-ons of the world would be nice.
