  2. No. The club doesn't make money off dances, so they don't care to measure that. That would be the best way to determine what type of dancers to have on the roster, but they go by the look they think customers want, regardless of evidence. I've seen busy dancers get told they can no longer work certain shifts or that they simply can't work there anymore. Dancers generally get fired/restricted based on their actions (ie. breaking the rules), size, and sometimes the colour of their skin.

  4. I saw the infamous banana show in Amsterdam, which was certainly memorable! On top of the Bananen Bar is the Bananen Club, where you can get a private (and surprisingly interactive) banana lap dance.

  6. Well, there are only so many dance booths, so, especially in smaller clubs, it's not a terrible idea to limit the number of dancers working at a given time. No one wants to have to wait in line for a booth to open up to get a dance! I've worked in clubs that would cap the number of dancers on slower shifts, which was always appreciated since then the dancers working were more likely to all make at least some money. Plus many customers get a bit nervous when they walk in to a club that's void of customers but has a big pack of dancers just waiting for him to sit down so they can pounce. Around here the clubs make more money when more dancers are working (ie. they charge a set fee to work rather than taking a cut of each dancer's sales), so it doesn't really matter to them if the dancers make money or not. In fact, some slower shifts will see an excessive amount of dancers because the club is trying to make up for lower bar sales (due to less customers) with more stage fees (and possibly some bar sales due to bored dancers). tl;dr: no, the clubs here don't really limit the total number of dancers, though IMO it wouldn't be a bad idea if they did.
  7. The quota tends to be more lax on quieter shifts (like Saturday afternoons). It can be hard for management to get enough dancers to work them in general, so they're usually less picky than with busy shifts (like Saturday night). The quota is also based on an ideal number of dancers. So, while management would like there to be, say, 10 dancers on a certain shift with only 2 of them being black (made up numbers), if only 5 of the scheduled dancers show up and 2 of them are black, having a "less than ideal" ratio is better than having too few dancers.

  9. I've never seen a club with an official quota on bigger dancers so much as many managers just think customers don't want to see them, so they don't hire any. A lot of hiring managers have a specific idea of what is attractive (ie. thin) and mistakenly think the clientele shares it, so they're reluctant to hire anyone who strays too far from it.
  10. While the idea is good, I would be incredibly surprised if any club ever openly admitted to doing this. In my experience, it's more of an open secret that others eventually hear about from the black dancers that are subjected to it. Short of filing a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission, I don't have any alternative ideas to offer up though.
  11. From a logical, sales-driven point of view, you're right, it doesn't make sense. But it happens time and time again. In some cases, it's a prior relationship or even one encounter that makes the dancer feel it's worthwhile to stick around. What's important to keep in mind is that what each dancer considers to be "worthwhile" can vary immensely. Some patrons can also be very possessive, getting angry if they see their favourite dancer even speak to other patrons. If they spend enough to make it "worthwhile," some dancers are happy to entertain that. Other reasons to sit for ages without going to the CR include getting tipped for her time on the floor, wanting free drinks, enjoying the patron's company, or simply not closing the sale. Some dancers will never ask for a dance, and will only wait for the patron to invite them to the CR, which can sometimes end up taking a while or not happening at all.
  12. For the record, I've seen plenty of white dancers with pimps and many black dancers without. Putting a quota on black dancers doesn't solve that problem. Unfortunately there's not much the club can do about it -- especially since there are many dancers don't even realize (or perhaps simply don't want to realize) that their man is a pimp.
  13. Clubs like Pigale and Barefax tend to attract dancers who have more of a hustler mindset than other clubs, and Toronto can also be a very difficult city to dance in, so this isn't particularly surprising. I've known a couple dancers who would ask for a tip from every customer they danced for. With tipping not being overly common around here, I was surprised to hear how often they were successful. Especially if the dancer works sporadically or only on busy shifts (ie. she isn't trying to cultivate regular clients), then there's no real reason for her not to ask for a little bit more at the end. It's the same as customers asking for extras, phone numbers, dates, etc. If you don't ask, you don't get, right?
  14. Hah. It's nice of you to give the clubs the benefit of the doubt, but the ones that place a quota on black dancers (who, you may notice, they also never put on stage one after the other if at all avoidable) do it for the same reason they ban rap and wearing hats. They think that letting too many black dancers work will result in too many black patrons, who they tend to equate with gangs. Many club managers (not just in Ottawa) are quite shortsighted in terms of the dancers they allow on their rosters. Case in point: the black dancer quota. Many clubs also don't allow dancers over a certain size to work at night. It's not about having variety so much as having dancers that fit their view of what customers like.
  15. Hide out from the cold with me at 340 Queen Street on Saturday, January 7 from 2pm to 7pm. Let's share a sensual escape of eskimo kisses and soft caresses. XO
  16. I would say the one exception is the NuDen. They regularly put on events and have feature dancers, though their advertising reach isn't very far.
  17. Celebrate the end of 2016 with me at 340 Queen Street on Saturday, December 31 from 2pm to 7pm or so. Come hide out from the cold and let's share a sensual escape of eskimo kisses and soft caresses. XO
  18. Sadly no! Ariel has been gone since early December.

  20. Barb's will be open from 1pm until 7-8pm, depending on how busy it is. Jenny wasn't in town today, so I'd say there's a 50/50 chance she'll be in tomorrow. She will for sure be in next Friday though!
  21. I'll be there ready to appreciate you! ;)
  22. Hide out from the cold and get in the Christmas spirit with Bridgette at Barbarella's on Friday, December 23, between 2pm and 7pm. With my long auburn hair hiding us from the rest of the world, we can share a sensual escape of eskimo kisses and soft caresses. Let's get cozy. You'll also be able to find me at 340 Queen Street a couple evenings between December 28-31. Stay tuned! XO
  23. When I was new, I carried around blank business cards and used them to give my contact info to patrons who wanted to see me again. Even that felt fairly impersonal, so I couldn't imagine handing out printed business cards. Yes, they look more professional, but for many patrons, particularly those that become regulars, it's more about building rapport, and scribbling contact info on a napkin or piece of paper, or putting it right in your phone, feels a lot more personal than being handed one of 100 business cards. I found that more folks got in touch with me once I stopped using the blank business cards and exchanged contact info like you would at a regular bar. Everyone wants to feel special, and IMO business cards remind you that you're not. Overall though, I do think LYLA is a valuable promotional vehicle, though I understand why many dancers don't use it. In any case, it was nice of you to put that booklet together for curious dancers who come here!
  24. Come and hide out from the cold winter afternoon with Bridgette at Barbarella's on Saturday, December 10, between 2pm and 7pm. With my long auburn hair hiding us from the rest of the world, we can share a sensual escape of eskimo kisses and soft caresses. Let's get cozy. XO
