Exotic Dancer Gift

Posted on by David

What’s a better Birthday gift than a hot naked Exotic dancer at your door? That is what Claudia Catere thought when she opened up her business sending exotic dancers wrapped up in a gift box to people all over the country. I talked to Claudia about these amazing gifts.

VL: Tell me about your Exotic Dancer gift business.

CC: I used to be a stripper myself, and a lot of people were looking for something different than your standard party, so I came up with the idea, and in about 18 months we have become a national company. I can’t believe how fast this thing has developed.  It was a real surprise that we not only made a profit in the first year, but we made a huge profit. We made more money in the first year than we were expecting to make by year 5. So we are pretty ecstatic about the company so far.

VL: How does it work? I heard that you actually have a delivery truck, and a delivery guy.

CC: Yeah we go all out. We have the exotic dancer go inside the box, and then our delivery guy brings it in on a flatbed cart. The best part is the look on the face of the person receiving the gift when our gorgeous dancers pop out.

VL: That is a riot! I can imagine that you must have some funny stories from some of your dancers.

CC: Oh my God!! We have so many. One time we delivered a girl to a warehouse, and she just sat in the warehouse for an hour. She kept calling the contact at the house and he didn’t answer. Finally she got in touch with him, and she was in the wrong warehouse. Also one time we had a woman faint when one of our guys jumped out of the box. It sound funny, but was pretty serious at the time.

VL: What areas do you offer your service?

CC: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, San Diego, San Antonio, and a ton more. We are slowly going to take over the whole country! We just need to get enough business in each city that allows us to pay for the truck, drivers, dancers, etc.

VL: Do you guys do bachelor and bachelorette parties also, or just Birthday parties?

CC: Of course, that is 40% of our business. We offer a ton of different options. We are like a Wal-Mart, but instead of selling toasters, and deodorant, we have exotic dancers. We like to have something for everyone. I definitely think we have the most variety in the industry.

VL: This is definitely a great idea to mix things up at a birthday party. Congrats on the success.

CC: Thank you! It really is proof that hard work truly pays off. I was at a crossroads in life, and didn’t know how I was going to pay my rent 2 years ago, and now here I am with a successful business and in a position to help others! It has been a great ride.

Exotic Dancer Convention Bigger Than Star Wars

Posted on by David

Exotic dancers are more popular than Luke Skywalker, that according to a survey for the most popular conventions in the country. I talked to Lizzy Cordovea who is the organizer for one of the biggest Exotic Dancer conventions in the country.

VL: Wow! Bigger than Luke Skywalker! You must be proud

LC: Ha! Yeah I was shocked. I figured that we had no chance of beating the nerds, but I forgot that we have a lot of nerdy fans too (laughs).

VL: Your conventions average four hundred thousand fans a weekend. With your $20 entrance fee, that is 8 million dollars a weekend. Why didn’t I think of this!

LC: Yeah but we started out very small, and it has gotten bigger and bigger each year.

VL: How did you take this from a VFW hall to a huge convention center?

LC: Social media has really taken us to the next level. Each of the Exotic Dancers has their own followers, so getting all of their thousands of followers in the same place has made this thing huge! Also we are by far the best convention around! Our people actually come back. We provide an experience like no other!

VL: I have talked to a lot of the performers, and they seem to really enjoy your convention. What do you do differently?

LC: Well you mentioned how much money we made earlier in the interview. We believe that putting money back into our conventions is what will make them successful in the future. We pay all of the Exotic dancers a large fee just for coming that they get on top of whatever merchandise they sell. Other conventions don’t give them that money up from. A lot of them actually charge people to set up their tables. We would rather pay more money and have the best here than have a second rate convention. It is an investment the way we look at it. We want the performers, and the guests to leave wanting more! We also provide free meals and lots of special V.I.P events. We have really created the convention that we always wanted to go to.

VL: You guys have Exotic Dancers dancing for the entire weekend. Explain how that adds to the popularity!

LC: Well we have a full blown strip club at our convention. That completely separates us from all of the other conventions. Some guys just hang out there all day. And since we have the best Exotic Dancers in the country, we have the ladies rotate as feature performers. It’s like taking all of the traveling exotic dancers and having them in one place! It is also a good break in the action. Sitting at a table for eight hours taking pictures and signing autographs gets very boring, so it gives them a good chance to break it up.

VL: I must say that this is the best convention that I have ever been to. I wish you nothing but success in the future.

Stripper Car Wash

Posted on by Vince

By Vince Leona

The Fantasy of a naked guy washing your car has always been the fantasy of many ladies. If you live in Memphis, this dream is now a reality. Melissa Burjione an Exotic Dancer has created the greatest nude car wash experience ever with her “Strip Club Car Wash”. I talked to Melissa about this unique business she runs.

VL: I have to say, I have never had more fun getting my car washed.

MB: Well thank you. We have created an experience like no other in the country. You and your car are basically taking a shower with 10 gorgeous guys.

VL: It is funny that you say that, because that is exactly what it felt like. I have to say, I was not expecting the lap dances while they were cleaning the inside of the car.

MB: Well that is what makes us a strip club car wash! There is nothing more exciting than getting a lap dance in your car. It is the main event of the experience. Our Exotic Dancers are the sexiest in the country.

VL: The guys are gorgeous, and that part was amazing, but I was shocked how sparkling clean they got my car.

MB: We take both sides of the business seriously! We don’t half ass either side of the service. We want the girls to come back every week. The best is when guys come in. We once had a hottie strip down and start washing his car with the rest of the guys. It was amazing.

VL: So for people who haven’t been to your “Strip Club Car Wash” can you walk them through the entire experience.

MB: Sure! It starts out when you pull in and choose inside and outside wash or just one of the 2 services. I guarantee that we are the only car wash in the country where people only get the inside of their car cleaned. Each service is $25 or you get both for $40 which is what 90% of the customers do. They pull their car in where 10 smoking hot guys give the sexiest car wash ever while the customer is sitting inside her car enjoying the show. The guys start out in tanks and jeans and then get totally naked. After that if the customer chose an inside wash, 3 guys clean the inside of the car while the customer is still sitting in the driver’s seat. The customer then gets a lap dance from one of the guys while the other 2 clean the inside of the car. My favorite part is when the guy giving the lap dance cleans the windshield while giving a lap dance.

VL: It is definitely an experience like no other. I think you really have something unique here. I can see these car washes popping up all around the country.

MB: Nashville is next! We break ground next month. We plan on being all over the Midwest, and then branching out all over the country. So wherever you are, we are coming to your town!

Bachelorette Party For The Sports Fan

Posted on by David

Crystal Mandel has always been a Tomboy! Her and her friends have always loved sports and when it was Crystals turn to be Maid of Honor for her best friend, it gave her an idea. Crystal put together the ultimate sports lover’s dream Bachelorette party. They started out at a Tigers game, then did 18 holes of golf, and ended the night at a sports bar. Crystal and her friends had such a great time that she decided to turn it into a business. 3 years later, Crystal has carved out a great niche for herself not only in Detroit, but across the country. I talked to Crystal about her business.

VL: Tell me how you got this new business off of the ground?

CM: I had such a great time throwing the Bachelorette party that I wanted to make it easy for other girls to have the same experience. It took me weeks to plan the party, and I wanted to simplify it.

VL: So you started out in Detroit concentrating on local Bachelorette parties, but now you are national. How do you expand so quickly?

CM: Well once I got all of the local teams, and bars working with me, I thought why not try Philadelphia, and then New York, he I am now in over 40 cities, and still expanding.

VL: Walk me through a standard Sports Bachelorette Party.

CM: We usually do an activity, game, and then sports bar. For instance, I did a party in Boston where we had a game of indoor basketball set up, then the ladies took a limo to the Bruins game, and ended the night at a club. It was a lot of fun for the ladies. We have deals at a lot of clubs and bars so we were able to get them a great package.

VL: Based in Detroit , how do you make sure things are running smoothly in other cities?

CM: I do a follow up call with the girls to make sure that every single aspect of the Bachelorette party was perfect. If even a small thing was off, I take exception to it and fix the problem. We have dropped clubs, bars, limo services, from our service because of the way they treated our clients. The customer is the most important. Hopefully this will be her only Bachelorette party, so I want it to be perfect. I am not going to let a douchebag door guy or mean limo driver ruin the experience. I have lost money on some parties because I wanted to fix a problem. We are at a point now where we are only working with amazing people. Our satisfaction rate is 99%. We take this seriously. This year, I added a 24 hour call center to the business. We are on call all night to make sure that the ladies are getting everything they paid for. It’s so easy for us to make one call as opposed to ruining an hour of their Bachelorette Party.

VL: Congrats! Looks like you have it all figured out.

Bachelorette Party Concert

Posted on by Vince

Bachelorette parties often end up at a karaoke bar. It’s one of the tamer things that groups do! Starting this summer, a new Bachelorette Party live concert will be a game changer!  I talked to Liz Graham about her exciting new venture!

VL: So you are doing basically a live karaoke concert for Bachelorette Parties?

LG: Well yes and no! We are actually doing this in a venue! It is more than just karaoke! We have a kick ass live band, and do a full stage show with lights and everything.

VL: Tell me how the whole process works.

LG: We have a live band playing a lot of female friendly songs! We focus on the classics and a lot of the current hits. We then bring up the different groups of bachelorette parties and they each take their turn singing their own custom set list! We pre arrange everything, so they get the full VIP experience. Lights, backup singers, the works! They girls really have a one in a lifetime experience.

VL: Do you only do Bachelorette parties?

LG: Not necessarily, we also do birthdays and special events. We do however keep it to just the girls. This whole thing was designed for the girls to have a memorable night where they can really let their hair down and have fun. They don’t have to worry about looking dumb in front of a cute guy, or a male bartender. It kind of reminds me of a sleep over with the girls!

VL: How did you come up with this idea?

LG: I was always big into karaoke, and the bar by my house always had bachelorette parties showing up on weekends. I noticed that the girls couldn’t really let loose, so I came up with a way for these girls to have the time of their lives and not have to hold back.

VL: What kind of crowds do you usually get?

LG: We base it off doing a 50 song set list. So we bring in 10 Bachelorette parties and let them each do 5 song set lists. Depending on how big the groups are, we usually do between 100 and 200 girls. Also at the end we all do a big group encore! It is a lot of fun.

VL: I love the video features that you offer.

LG: Thanks! Yeah we video tape every performance, and upload it to our website, and the girls can download them and put them on Facebook for free. We film the shows with 8 HD cameras, so it looks like a Rolling Stones concert when it’s all said and done! It is set up to be a fun concert for all 10 groups of girls, so even when their group is not on stage, they are still thoroughly entertained. The best part is that it’s also free drinks all night!

VL: Sounds like you are offering something completely unique, and something that these girls will remember for the rest of their lives.

Let’s Get It Started

Posted on by Dave

It is very overwhelming to plan a Bachelorette party, especially if you are a first time party planner. It is always a huge undertaking to be in charge of fun. You never want to let your group down, or upset the bride. When planning a party, your best bet is to throw out the window everything you have seen at other Bachelorette parties. You have to approach this party with only one person in mind, and that person of course is the bride. Don’t forget that this is her day. There will of course be pressure to make everyone at the party happy, but if the bride is having fun, then you will find that everyone is going to have fun.

Don’t look at the Bachelorette party as this huge undertaking. Take it one part at a time. Start out with figuring out the perfect weekend to have the party. Then next decide which venue or venues that you want to have the party at. This is very important. You need to secure some type of party or drink special. Preferably you want to reserve a party or private room. It is always great to go to somewhere that has a great private room with a drink special, and then be able to mingle in the public part of the bar after all festivities have ended. Also keep in mind that bars love Bachelorette parties. Some bars and clubs will send a bus or limo to make sure that you come to them. Bars need girls to draw in guys. Use that to your advantage. Call your favorite bar or club and explain to them that you are planning a Bachelorette party and see what they can do for you. At the very least, you should be able to get a free bottle of champagne.

It is always great to plan the entire night around a certain area. Your entire night including dinner dancing and drinks can all be planned around a certain part of town. It is also very important to have a way for everyone to get home! This is the most important part of your job. Getting busted on your Bachelorette party is not the type of event a bride wants before her big day. Remember paying $40 for a cab ride is a lot cheaper than $10,000 for a DUI. This night will be the time of your life.

It doesn’t matter if you decide to get a dancer to perform for your group, or if it’s just a low key event. Remember the most important thing is to plan it around the bride. Think about how you can make this a special day for her. Think about what she is into, and then the chips will all fall into place. Do not let this overwhelm you. Just take it step by step. Building something from scratch is always a big task, but if you take each part and slowly put together, before you know it you will have something to be proud of!

Survey Says…We Want A Stripper!

Posted on by Vince

By Vince Leona

In a recent survey of 500 women who are scheduled to attend Bachelorette parties in the next year, over 85% of them said that they are getting, or are open to getting a stripper. This is a huge increase from last year when only 65% said that they were open to the idea of getting entertainment at their Bachelorette parties. Why such a drastic increase? It seems as though women’s general view of getting a stripper have changed. It no longer gets that sleazy wrap it used to, but instead it has become a MUST for all Bachelorette parties.  I conducted an interview with a maid of honor named Lisa about this survey, check it out below!

VL: In a recent survey, over 85% of women say that they are getting or are open to getting a stripper for their Bachelorette parties. Are you in the 85%?

Lisa: Hell Yeah!!!

VL: Sounds like you are excited!

Lisa: Well it’s pretty much the main reason that we are having the Bachelorette party. We want a Fireman to walk in and have his way with us.

VL: It is refreshing to see someone as open about their excitement to get male entertainment. A few years ago, women seemed to be a lot less open about the subject.

Lisa: The way I see it is that the guys are having their fun, so why can’t we have ours? There is nothing wrong with watching a hot guy shake what his mama gave him.

VL: Is it a surprise for the bride, or does she know?

Lisa:  It is all that she has been talking about, but we told her that we can’t find anyone. I think she knows that we are lying though.

VL: What is the appeal of getting a dancer?

Lisa: It is just a fun way to bond with the girls. Having control over a hot guy and trying to embarrass my conservative friends will be a blast.

VL: When was the last time you were at a Bachelorette party?

Lisa: 2 weeks ago.

VL: Did you have entertainment at the party?

Lisa: Oh yeah! We had two hot construction workers, and we were in heaven. It was so much fun!

VL: What was your favorite part of the performance?

Lisa: I loved their choreographed routines. They brought this really upbeat mix of songs, and these hotties knew how to shake it. I also loved when they gave the bride a lap dance. She had the time of her life.

VL: Would you recommend to other girls that they should get some dancers for their Bachelorette parties?

Lisa: Hell yeah! It was by far the highlight of the night. These are memories that we will talk about forever. When he put his construction hat on my friends head and gave her a dance, it was the sexiest thing I have ever seen.

VL: Have fun at your upcoming party. With you planning it, I imagine it will be epic!

Lisa: If you only knew what we had planned baby! (Laughs)…

No Hassle Bachelorette Party

Posted on by Vince

By Vince Leona What would you say if you can have your entire Bachelorette Party taken care of without a second of work? Brenda Berkley has made that a reality. Her new company will completely plan out your Bachelorette party and all of the events surrounding it. Brenda has taken her company national and is now working is 75 cities around the country. She will plan everything from dinner, dancing, strippers, etc. She is truly a one stop shop for Bachelorette parties. I talked to Brenda about her company.   VL: Tell me how you got started, and how you turned this thing into a huge company. BB: I started the company when I was planning my best friends Bachelorette party about 8 years ago. It was so much work. Planning the bachelorette party almost became a second job for me. So I decided that I would make a business that wasn’t there at the time. So I started by making tons of contacts here in San Francisco. Then I started putting together packages. I had a great business going here in San Francisco, so then I added Los Angeles because my sister worked there as a party planner. We started adding more and more cities. Now we are up to 75 and adding cities every month. We don’t like to add another city unless we have tons of options and contacts. So we make sure to have all of our ducks in a row before we add a new city.   VL: It is actually cheaper for girls to plan their Bachelorette Party through you also. How do you make money? BB: Well since we drive so much business to these bars, restaurants, and clubs, they pretty much pay our fee. So the girl basically gets a free service that gets them a cheaper and completely put together party. We send the girls a full agenda, and we have operators in our offices any time a problem comes up. We ever have car and taxi services available to the girls. We plan everything. We want to handle all of the stuff that is not fun. We want to make sure that all of the girls have the best time of their lives, and then make it home safe. We even have day of discount rooms at hotels in every city. If the girls decide, they can always stay at a hotel at a discount. That can be booked before the party, or any time after the party. We are a full service company. We really have thought of everything.   VL: You really have thought of everything! What advice do you give girls who don’t use your service, or in cities that you are not in. BB: The main thing is to not be overwhelmed. Treat it like a football team, one game at a time. You never want to look ahead. If you just do one thing at a time, it won’t be so overwhelming. It will also make your life a lot easier. But of course the best advice I can give is to give us a call!

Eat The Bride, Literally!

Posted on by David

Sandy Hortich, a baker from Indianapolis, has turned her Bachelorette Party cakes into a national phenomenon. Sandy makes life like miniature replicas of the Brides and at the Bachelorette Party, the girls get to eat the bride. I talked to Sandy about her unique business.

VL: I must say that your work is pretty impressive. How do you turn cake into a life like replica of these brides?

SH: I can’t give away all of my secrets, but we definitely offer a one of a kind service. And this isn’t a graphic on your cake. This is a personalized sculpture cake. We are the first of our kind, and business has been booming.

VL: Why only Bachelorette Parties? I assume that this could also be big for Birthday Parties and pretty much any other event involving a cake.

SH: Funny you say that because next week we are expanding the business to everything and anything. The reason that we started with Bachelorette Parties was because it was a niche market that I knew we could be successful with. But obviously people started wanting us to make cakes for all types of different parties, so I finally gave in. It’s good to have a niche market, but it is better to take over the world.

VL: Let’s stick to the Bachelorette Party stuff. Tell me about the greatest cake you ever made!

SH: I made a life sized cake for a multi-millionaire woman in Las Vegas. She was 5 foot 3 and we made it her exact size. And on top of that, we made it a standing cake. It was truly a work of art. I swear people were taking pictures with the cake, and it looked like it was actually her. I actually won 3 awards for that cake. It took me 20 hours to make, and it fell apart 24 hours before the party, so I had to spend another 20 hours and remake it. It was 40 hours of work, but it was worth it.

VL: That is amazing! How do you transport something like that?

SH: That was a whole other ordeal! We had to make it on wheels. We had to have 4 huge guys transport it. It was such a production. I was a nervous wreck the whole time. It was such a relief when we finally delivered it.

VL: Do you have any specialties for the Bachelorette parties?

SH: We actually do cake replicas of the bride or the groom. Also we can do specialty cakes, or whatever the ladies want.

VL: Tell me about these bachelorette mini cakes that you are selling all around the country

SH: These have become our specialty. We can customize them however the girls want. We can do a full set of the groomsmen and bridesmaids. It is a lot of fun, and completely original.

VL: You truly have turned a niche business into something amazing. Congrats on the success and nothing but the best in the future.

Married Women Love Bachelorette Parties

Posted on by David

The normal consensus when it comes to Bachelorette parties is that it is an event for single ladies. According to recent data, that can’t be further from the truth. The data actually shows that married women look forward to Bachelorette parties much more than single women. Think about it… A single girl is out and about meeting fun and interesting people all the time. A married woman is with the same guy all the time. Whether or not they have a great marriage, it gets very monotonous. This is a night of fun, and something completely different for the married women. I talked to Darlene McNeil a married woman of 15 years who told me about the excitement of going to a Bachelorette party this coming weekend.

VL: So the big day is Saturday! Are you excited?

DM: Oh my God, I have been counting down the days! I have been sending my girls countdown emails. I am so excited.

VL: What does your husband think about you going to a Bachelorette Party?

DM: Who cares (laughs)!! No all joking aside, he knows that he can trust me and that I am a good girl. I am just going to have a little fun.

VL: Why do you think married women are so fired up to go to Bachelorette parties?

DM: It is a way to escape my daily life! Not that I don’t love my life, but it is fun to get away from the kids, and the bills, and my husband, and to just drink and have fun with the girls.

VL: Are you ladies getting any entertainment?

DM: You know it baby! We are going to a show with male performers, and then we are having 2 guys come to us. We have a private room in a club, so it should get pretty wild. I love a gorgeous guy and we have some hotties coming.

VL: What else do you ladies have planned?

DM: Dinner and dancing. It will be a lot of fun. We will have all of our college girlfriends, work girlfriends, and a lot of our friends that live out of town. I am certain that it should be a great night.

VL: Sound like a perfect get together with the girls.

DM: It really came together perfectly.

VL: What is your favorite Bachelorette party moment from the past?

DM: Believe it or not, we actually went camping for my friend Janet’s Bachelorette Party. Roasted Marshmallows, tents, sing-along’s, we did it all. We drank all night by the camp fire, and even had some entertainment come out. We had them wear a Bear Costume and hang outside the tent. My friends almost peed their pants. It was a hoot.

VL: You ladies sound like a lot of fun!

DM: You better believe it baby. You only live once. Time is going to fly by regardless. You can do it while laughing or while crying. I choose laughing. I live life to the fullest.
