Dancing In the Desert

By Dave Dakota

Tucson Arizona is about to be a the new hot spot for Bachelorette Parties thanks to a new Bachelorette Party themed dance club out in the desert! Morgan Reed is a former Promoter who opened up this new Bachelorette Party Club on Friday’s and Saturday’s. She is drawing 1000 girls per weekend, and she is just getting started. I had a chance to catch up with Morgan about her exciting new venture.

DD: So tell me how this whole thing got started.

MR: I threw a bachelorette party for my sister and we did the standard club bottle service thing. We were annoyed all night by so many douchebag guys and it ruined her entire party. I decided that I needed to come up with a way for the girls to have a great night without being harassed by annoying boys. I wanted to create a dance party and club experience with all of the benefits of downtown Tucson and even the party atmosphere of Phoenix and Scottsdale. My dancing in the desert began with my cousin’s bachelorette party. We have bus, shuttle, and limo service to the venue. Also it is 5 hours open bar from 7PM-Midnight, dinner, dancing, and I partnered up with the best male stripping agency in the country MaleStrippers.com and they send us 3-5 of their dancers for each event. So we have created an ultimate Bachelorette Party experience for ladies like me who want to have a great time without all of the drama of the regular clubs.

DD: I was told that you are averaging 1000 girls per weekend. How did this thing blow up so quickly?

MR: Actually we are moving closer to 1500 girls a weekend. Saturdays alone are getting 1000 girls, and Fridays we are averaging a little over 500. Last week we broke 2000 girls for the first time ever. I was so excited. The best part about this thing is that I have not made a dime yet. I am putting everything back into the show. The production keeps getting better and better. Also once a month we are bringing in huge dj’s from around the world. I am hoping to hit 5000 girls for a single night. The warehouse that I use for Dancing in the Desert has a capacity of 10,000 so we have plenty of room for growth. I don’t see anything stopping us from making Tucson the Bachelorette Party destination for the entire country!

Stripper Cheese Plate

By Dave Dakota

Wisconsin is known around the country as the best place to get cheese! Well an entrepreneur has taken the cheese plate to a place that has never been imagined. Darlene Ortega has opened up a new cheese plate and wine restaurant in Madison that uses naked ladies as the cheese plate. I talked to Darlene about her new restaurant.

DD: First off, I got to say your cheese plate is amazing. Even if there wasn’t a Mila Kunis lookalike lying in front of me, I would have still eaten the cheese plate. It is great food, and the scenery makes it a must go spot In Madison!

DO: Thank you! And yes, the food is the most important part. We want to be fine dining and also have the scenery that you will never see anywhere else. We pay our models a lot of money! So we only hire the best. You will not have a classier time than at our restaurant. Also our girls are first class.

DD: So how do you handle people who are not into this kind of approach to a restaurant?

DO: My attitude is that when you come here, you should know what you are dealing with. My partners however convinced me to have a section that we do not have the girls. Also it is a $100 charge to have a girl for groups smaller than 10. It is $50 for groups 10-20, and 20 or more people, we include one of the models.  Also you do not have to have a model at all. Of course, people come not just for the food, but also for these gorgeous models.

DD: Are the girls allowed to talk to customers?

DO: Only if they are engaged in conversation which happens almost 100% of the time. We only hire girls with great personalities so we make sure to focus on these girls great personalities. Of course if it’s a shy group, the models are expected to just play it by ear.

DD: So these models are mainly female strippers correct?

DO: Yes we have girls from Las Vegas, New York, Los Angeles, etc. They all love our approach, and they are all on pace to make over 6 figures this year. So we want or girls to be happy.

DD: It is definitely an original approach to a restaurant. I love the place. I wish you the best of luck

 

 

The Steelers Strippers

By Dave Dakota

Soon Pittsburgh will be the home of a new Male revue Show and Male Strip Club featuring former Steelers players. I talked founder of the new club Ernie Goldstein about this touchdown of an idea!

DD: So how did you come up with this concept?

EG: My wife has a sister who loves the Steelers and goes absolutely crazy when the guys are on the field. She always comments on their butts and their physiques. I sold off my previous business and was looking for something to do. I am friends with some of the former players, and I decided to do something fun with my money for a change. I am so sick of working in an office, and I wanted to do something I was passionate about. And there is no better passion that bringing a smile and some excitement to the beautiful women of Pittsburgh. I got 12 former players to kick things off, and our soft opening was a huge success.

DD: Any players that I would know?

EG: Yeah you would know all of them; however we want the ladies to come in and be surprised. I will tell you that I just finished a contract with one of the biggest players in the history of the team! So I am really excited to make that announcement soon.

DD: What does the show entail?

EG: We do a nightly 3 hour balls to the wall revue show! Our goal is to make the ladies scream. The start out in the full football outfit and then end up in just their jocks. I am really proud of the show. We have definitely been making the ladies scream.

DD: Are all of the dancers all former players?

EG: We have 25 guys on staff. 15 are former players and 10 are the best dancers in the country. So it is a great combination. We get the best of both worlds. We get the performance and the star power. We have really figured out the best way to make this thing as big as possible.

DD: Do you plan on opening clubs in other cities? Would love to see a New York club!

EG: Well my passion is the Pittsburgh ladies! That is my home, and those are the ladies that I care about. Never say never though. I know the Philadelphia market very well, and I am friends with a lot of former players, so don’t be surprised if something happens sooner than later!

Male Stripper APP

By Dave Dakota

Kelly Lamb, of Tucson, has created a new APP that tells you where all registered male strippers are at any given time! It is a great new way to get a stripper last minute. I talked to Kelly about her new groundbreaking app!

DD: I love the idea, but was it really something that the market needed?

KL: HAHAHA! Well, there wasn’t a market demand for Facebook when it came out too. I thought it was a great idea as a dancer myself to find dancers in your area. We do everything through a reputable company, so the reservations are set up in a legit and safe way. So we are hoping that this thing really takes off!

DD: So tell me how it works. Is it user friendly?

KL: It almost works like Yelp. We have the guys register and then when you type in your zip code all of the strippers in the area pop up! It has worked out great so far!

DD: How long until you add a female stripper app?

KL: Way ahead of you. We actually have the female stripper app ready to roll out, and we were going to test out the male stripper version, and then get into the females. Guys are easier to work with LOL, so we wanted to do the male stripper app first.

DD: How do you plan on promoting the app?

KL: Well doing interviews with industry people like you, and we are trying to get on Shark Tank. We have pretty impressive numbers, and we are already making a profit. I think that Mark Cuban or one of the other sharks might be interested in joining us!

DD: With this great technology, are you thinking about getting into other fields with the same business model?

KL: Yeah we can really use this technology for mechanics, computer repair people, etc. Letting people set their own prices and being independent contractors can make for more money for everyone. Really the sky is the limit. We definitely have a lot of plans in the works. We want to take this technology to the limit. We keep trying to make it better and we keep trying to make it more user friendly.

DD: The app is great. I look forward to see what you do next.

KL: Thank you for the opportunity! We will talk again soon.

Exotic Dancer Basketball League

By Dave Dakota

Michael Jordan recently came out and said that he could beat Lebron James one on one if they were both in their prime. The same day that this announcement was made, Mandy Edelman made the announcement of her new 8 city Exotic Dancer Basketball league. I talked to Mandy about this new groundbreaking league.

DD: So the West Coast is in for something special it looks like!

ME: Yes! We have teams all over California and the West Coast. We are in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, and Phoenix. We are lloking to eventually expand the league across the country, but right now it is a good start.

DD: I love that the games are outdoors. It probably wouldn’t work as well on the East Coaset because of the weather.
ME: That is true, but we aren’t against moving the games indoors. I think that we will be able to secure these venues if we have a successful first season.

DD: Explain what makes this league different from other leagues.

ME: We have gorgeous girls who can actually play ball. They are all exotic dancers with college or other high level experience.

DD: Yeah I saw a game in Vegas, and these girls can play. Each quarter they slowly take off more and more clothing. Until the 4th quarter, they are completely naked. I must say that it is quite the site seeing naked girls play basketball.

ME: Our girls are really competitive too! Naked girls hard fouling each other is something that needs to be seen!

DD: Tell me about the 2nd half lap dances?

ME: At half time, our girls shower up and then come out and give lucky fans lap dances! The show just gets better and better! It is truly a guys fantasy come to life.

DD: I heard that you are thinking about taking this show indoors in more of a theater type setting.

ME: Yeah we have considered a bunch of different ideas. We think that having it in a smaller space that we will be able to be closer to the guys and be more interactive! This thing is a work in progress. One of our favorite things that we do is the party bus experience for 10 lucky fans after each game where they meet up at our bus after the game and we give them a farewell show that they will never forget. Exotic dancers have been around forever. We are just trying to think of ways to change things up a bit!

DD: Sounds like you really care about customer satisfaction! I think that mindset will help you go a long way!

ME: That is all we care about! We never want someone to come by and feel ripped off or like they didn’t get what they wanted. If you come to one of our games, I guarantee that you will be back and you will bring friends.

 

Sweating On The Stripper Pole

By Dave Dakota

There are many fads in working out, but one that seems to have some legs is the Stripper Pole class. I was in Peoria, IL and talked to former female stripper and current lead instructor at a stripper pole class Vicky Castabian about the latest workout craze!

DD: Congratulations are in order. You just had your 500th member. In less than 6 months, that’s quite a feat.

VC: Thanks! Yeah I am blown away by what we have done here. I started out with 10 girls, and we are on pace to have over one thousand members before we celebrate our one year anniversary. It has been a lot of hard work, but very rewarding.

DD: Tell me about your background as a female stripper, and what made you want to open up this niche Stripper pole class.

VC: I started working at a gentlemen’s club when I was eighteen years old. I really got into performing on the pole. People started coming to just see me work that pole. I really enjoyed the entertainment part of stripping, and quickly realized that it was an amazing workout. In the first year of being a female stripper, I went from being in good shape to being ripped. My sister was overweight, and I wanted to help her. She could never find a workout that she enjoyed. The stripper pole workout is a really fun way to lose weight. So after 4 years of stripping, I had enough money saved up to open up my own studio. We have moved 3 times already to accommodate all of our members. For the first 3 months I was working at the gentlemen’s club, but I had to quit to keep up with the demand. I brought in 2 other girls from the club to teach classes. We are now offering 12 classes a day. We never have less than 10 at capacity.

DD: Wow you are a little 22 year old entrepreneur. That is amazing. What do you have planned for the future?

VC: The sky is the limit. If we keep growing and expanding, we may have to change venues again. My current studio has a capacity of 100 ladies per class. So if we have to move, that will be a good problem to have. We are thinking about adding 2 more classes a day, bringing it up to 12 classes a day. So as long as we keep getting new members, we will keep expanding.

DD: what is your retention rate, and what are your monthly fees?

VC: We have a 95% retention rate! We rarely lose clients. In fact, our clients are our best type of advertising. For every new member that someone brings in, we give them 2 free months. So a lot of our hardcore members have 2 or 3 years for free classes coming their way because they keep bringing in new members. And we are happy to pay them back for spreading the word, and turning my dream into a reality. As far as our rates, we do a $35 unlimited classes per month, or $10 per class. Also you can try up to 3 classes free. We like to keep our rates low so that it is affordable for everyone.

DDL: That is great. Let’s talk again when you hit the thousand member mark!

VC: You got it. Maybe we can get you up on the pole (Laughs)!

Your Daughter The Stripper

By Dave Dakota

When you were looking at your baby girl the day she was born, you had many thoughts running through your head! She was so small and helpless. Her whole life was in front of her. You wondered what she would be when she grew up. She could be a doctor, a lawyer, even the President! What if I told you one day that she would be a female stripper? According to current trends, that may just be the case. Female strippers make a great living, and are allowed to live a life style on their terms. It is a quick way for a young girl to make a lot of money, and to be her own boss. With the heavy demand for female strippers, the amount of girls going into this once taboo field have been going up between one and seven percent every year since 2003. So why is your little girl now stripping? Could be many factors, but the most common reason is that it gives her financial freedom. In one night a female stripper can make more money than a week of secretarial work. Female strippers can work one week a month, and travel the rest of the time. Most people do not believe it when female strippers tell them that they are going to school, but in reality a lot of them are. Many former female strippers are now nurses, or even lawyers. It is definitely a field that you can only do for a set period of time, so it is a great profession to get into while they are figuring out the next phase in their life. Where else can a girl with only a high school diploma make thousands of dollars a month? Working 40 hours a week at minimum wage will not pay a girls rent, bills, and on top of that tuition. If you as a father cannot pay for your daughter to go to college, do not look down on her for taking charge of her life. Female strippers in a lot of cases are highly paid psychologists. The successful ones have to be great listeners, and be a source of advice for their clients. According a female stripper that I interviewed in Miami Beach, she said that a lot of her job is a lot more emotional that physical. The same guy comes to see her. It is almost like an appointment at a doctor’s office. The same guys come to see her at the same time every single day. It is the best part of their day, and they are able to vent about their home life, their job, their kids, even their annoying neighbor. Perhaps all psychologists should work a few years as female strippers. Guys tend to be much more honest when talking to someone half naked than a girl in a pant suit. Maybe your daughter the stripper will become the doctor that you always wanted her to be! If it takes a few years giving lap dances to get there, maybe she is just doing it to make her daddy proud.

 

Bachelor Party BBQ

by Dave Dakota

Rich Klingler from Kansas City has created the ultimate Bachelor Party BBQ. Everything is completely catered for all of your bachelor party needs. I talked to Rich about his Bachelor Party BBQ.

DD: What made you concentrate on Bachelor parties?

RK: I have a pretty successful BBQ restaurant. A lot of my cliental are guys obviously. I threw a bachelor party for my son in law, and it was a legendary event. All of his buddies were asking me if I could plan their bachelor parties too. So eventually I was booked for months ahead of time. Now I basically have a second business.

DD: Explain exactly what all comes in your bachelor party package?

RK:  Well I start out with an amazing catered BBQ dinner for the whole crew. Ribs, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, corn, mac and cheese, and my specialty BBQ beef sandwiches. Then we bring the party to our 2000 square foot party room where we have open bar for 3 hours, and we even have a deal for entertainment. So it is really a one stop shop for everything. I also own the club next door, so we offer bottle service packages etc. Since I have the facilities, I figured why not take advantage of it.

DD: That sounds like a lot of fun. Let’s get back to the dinner portion of the event, because I understand that you set it up like a legit BBQ out on your huge patio.

RK: Yeah we have a great set up out there. And we even have games set up like bags, and beer pong. It is a lot of fun. I want it to be a completely unique experience without breaking these boys’ wallets. I think we have put together something that no one else can offer. We even have out Pig bus take them home if they get too drunk.

DD: Tell me about the poker tournament that you offer to the bachelor parties.

RK: That is something that is really fun. We started doing weekly poker tournaments at the restaurant, so it kind of just evolved from that. We were thinking of other options that we could offer for the Bachelor parties. So my son in law said that we should offer poker tournaments. We provide the dealers and everything. We just do it like any other poker tournament where we take a cut up front. We truly have something for everyone. I think that we have become the premiere Bachelor party destination.

DD: Tell me about this back room.

RK: 30 HD TV’s, and a lot of room for strippers, poker, or whatever other activities they have planned. We can also set up for karaoke, or have video games set up in the back room also. And all of our extra activities come with a spread of food. We are going to keep you full of food wherever you are in our facility.

DD: You have truly created a nice niche for yourself. Best of luck in the future!

The Female Stripper of the Year

By Dave Dakota Cynthia Chavez from San Diego, by way of St Paul, recently won the prestigious “stripper of the Year” award! I talked to Cynthia about her journey and amazing victory. DD: Tell me about how you went from a regular stripper to “female Stripper of the year.” CC: I always thought strippers were pretty when I was a little girl, and when I turned 18, despite my mom at first being upset I went for it! I wasn’t a girl who went in and just wanted to make money. I look at it like an art form. I worked hard to make sure that I was the best at what I did. It feels amazing to be recognized for all of the work I have put into perfecting this. DD: What makes you so different? CC: Well like I said, this is art to me! I spend many hours studying and perfecting my craft. I am at the highest end of Female Stripping. I really put on a show. I can entertain all genders and age ranges. I think the problem with this industry is that people don’t go out of their way to make it a beautiful art. I want to make the female stripper occupation something that is a beautiful job to have. DD: What is your daily regimen? You are in amazing shape! CC: I eat clean, and workout! It is really that easy. I think people over think fitness. If you do the basic stuff, then you will be in shape! I have cheat days like everyone else. I do a lot of late night appearances at strip clubs across the country, and it is almost impossible to eat healthy sometimes. But the key is to not let those cheat days become more than just a cheat day! You have to know that the day after a cheat day; it is time to get back on track! Also my routines are pretty intense. I have a job where I burn a ton of calories. So add the clean eating and working out every day to that, and that is why I am in this shape. DD: As Female Stripper of the year, what doors has it opened for you? CC: The main thing is that it has gotten a bunch of new eyes on me! A lot of opportunities that I was looking into before winning the award, I couldn’t even get a call back. Now these people are calling me! It has been an amazing experience. I have always wanted to do my own Vegas show, and I am getting close to making that dream a reality! Until then, this Female Stripper of the year award has made it possible for me to tour the country and be a feature performer at clubs all across the country! I am doing a European tour next month. I am so excited! I have always wanted to go to Paris. Now I am going on someone else’s dime. All thanks to this award! DD: All hail the new Queen of Strippers! CC: And you better believe I am going to defend my title next year! I can’t wait to talk to you this time next year about my back to back titles.

Bachelor Party King for a Day

By Dave Dakota

Have you ever wanted to live the fantasy of being Jay Z or Brad Pitt for a day? Have you ever wanted the VIP treatment that makes you feel like a celebrity?  St. Paul native, Charles Logan has created a new service that makes you feel like a big deal at your Bachelor Party. I talked to Charles about his new company.

DD: This is pretty cool! Tell me about your company.

CL: I always wanted to be a high roller when I was growing up! I made a decent living but never made enough money to live the high life. So my buddy and I came up with an idea! We decided that we would take turns pretending to be the important person that night. So we bought this security uniform, and took turns driving the other guy around. We really got into it and started to wear an ear piece when it was our turn to work security. The most common question girls would ask me when I was playing the security guard was “who is that guy? And of course I had a different story every week. One time he was in a band, another time he was a football player. The stories went on and on. Unbelievably, we both met a lot of ladies doing this. And although we started doing it to get girls, it became more about playing the part, and seeing what we could get away with. One time we were in Los Angeles and got a $900 dinner comped because the manager thought that I was famous. The feeling that you get when you are the star is something that is unmatched by anything else. The night of my partner in crimes Bachelor Party, we did the usual scam, only this time with 25 buddies. It was the best night of our lives. We owned Vegas that night. Every girl thought that my boy was a superstar. I saw the power of numbers, and came up with this King for a Day Bachelor Party service. We give you the full VIP treatment with a driver, we dress your buddies up as security guards, and it becomes a night that you and your buddies will never forget. I even have deals at clubs where they act like you are someone important! We have the DJ announce your name and say you are in the house! Then when the ladies see you and your crew, they go crazy!

DD: What is the best story you have heard from one of your parties?

CL: We once had a guy who pretended that he was a Prince from Abu Dhabi. It was hilarious because he was a white guy, and 90% of his friends were white. As ridiculous as it sounded, it didn’t matter, when the DJ announced Prince Naseem in the house, the ladies went nuts! It’s always funny to hear about these nights. We truly create an experience that is bigger than a Bachelor Party. It is an event that they will never forget.
