Whether anyone likes it or not, sex appeal is... important quality For Hollywood actress who wants to play leading roles. And on-screen striptease is a great opportunity to demonstrate this quality. Having combed through American films in which famous stars danced a striptease, we, together with the Film.ru portal, selected fifteen of the most erotic scenes.
15. Lindsay Lohan – “I Know Who Killed Me” (2007)
How can one actress receive three statuettes at the Golden Raspberry ceremony? Very simple. She only needs to play two roles in one film and receive a statuette for each role, as well as a separate statuette for “worst screen couple.” This is exactly the “trick” that Lindsay Lohan pulled off when she starred in Chris Siverton’s delusional thriller about strangers who didn’t know each other (they grew up in different families) twins who are being hunted by a maniac. Lohan's film career faded after this film. Well at least former star left her fans with a rather erotic striptease performed by one of her two heroines.
14. Rose McGowan - Planet Terror (2007)
The heroine Rose McGowan spends most of Planet Terror fighting off zombies and not-yet-zombified scoundrels. However, she begins the picture with a more peaceful activity - performing a striptease. Note that in the “GrindHouse” duology, jointly created by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, there is another distinctly erotic scene – Veronica Ferlito’s dance in “Proof”. We thought about including it in our hit parade, but did not do this, since Ferlito’s dance is still not a striptease in the exact sense of the word. Although big question Who dances more erotically in GrindHouse - McGowan or the star of the series Graceland.
13. Olivia Wilde – Like Clockwork (2011)
When a movie promises a story about a little girl who wins a butter sculpture carving competition, it's hard to suspect that there will be a striptease scene in such a film. But little Destiny is just one of the colorful participants in the competition, which is the subject of Jim Field-Smith's comedy Among the Opponents main character there is a stripper played by Olivia Wilde who signed up as a participant to annoy the champion who owes her money for “private” services. And I must admit that Brooke dances much better than she carves!
12. Jessica Biel – “Oxide” (2009)
My last role in cinema, Patrick Swayze played in the latest directorial project of Vietnam-born Timothy Lin Bui. The hero of “Ghost” portrayed the owner of a nightclub in which a stripper played by Jessica Biel dances. This heroine is very unhappy (her little son lies in a coma), and her club dance slow and sad. But that doesn’t make him any less, but even more so. Unfortunately, Beale's dance did not save the picture. “Oxide” didn’t really make it to the cinema, and it was poorly rated by those critics who bothered to watch it.
11. Penelope Cruz – “Chromophobia” (2005)
The famous American critic Roger Ebert, who heroically fought cancer for many years, once noted that cancer patients rarely look as creepy on screen as they do in real life. Many paintings use this and other fatal diseases to reflect the tragedy of an outwardly prosperous, but in reality doomed character who lives out his life. last days. This is exactly how cancer is portrayed in the drama Chromophobia (fear of colors) by Martha Fiennes (sister of actor Ralph Fiennes), in which Penelope Cruz played a dying but still very impressive-looking stripper prostitute. Well, realism is realism, and it’s much more pleasant to watch Cruz dancing if she doesn’t look like a real cancer patient!
10. Jennifer Aniston - We're the Millers (2013)
Ironically, the main character of Rawson Marshall Thurber's comedy spends most of her screen time portraying a modest housewife who, with her husband and children, went on a "motor rally" across America. But at a certain point in the plot, she still has to admit that she is a stripper hired by her pseudo-husband to smuggle drugs across the border. And when the bandits interrogating the “family” do not believe her, the woman arranges for them spectacular show. I wonder how many Friends fans went to see this movie just because Aniston's striptease promised it to them? And the actress did not disappoint the audience - even though she is no longer a girl.
9. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu - Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle (2003)
Actually, "Charlie's Angels" are private detectives, not "exotic" dancers. But their work often requires cross-dressing and disguise, and in such cases they have to live up to their appearance. But why “have to”? Judging by the fervor with which they dance a striptease in a nightclub in the second series of their adventures, Natalie, Dylan and Alex get sincere pleasure from their transformation into dancers. And their dance doesn’t look like improvisation at all... Although, of course, when discussing “Charlie’s Angels 2”, there’s no point in even mentioning verisimilitude.
To determine how long ago Adrian Lyne's film was made, just read the first line of its synopsis: "18-year-old Alexandra Owens works as a welder in a steel mill..." When you last time Have you seen the movie in which the heroine works at a large steel mill? And for male heroes, this is now exotic - the once famous American “Steel Belt” has rusted... And “Dance” is partly about just that. Since his heroine, having permanent job at a factory, dreams of becoming a professional dancer and works part-time as a stripper in a nightclub. If work at a factory were promising, Alex would dream of becoming a craftsman or engineer! However, she definitely dances no worse than she wields electric welding. It’s not for nothing that her spectacular dancing gave the film its title.
7. Rebecca Romijn – “ Femme fatale"(2002)
After "X-Men" made fashion model Rebecca Romijn a movie star in 2000, she played her first main role in Brian De Palma's thriller Femme Fatale. Her heroine begins the film as a robber for hire, but as events unfold, she turns out to be primarily a master of psychological manipulation. And, of course, the woman uses her sexuality to bend the Spanish paparazzi to her will, whom she plans to turn into a pawn in a game against her former accomplices. The film was a complete failure at the box office, but not because Romijn did not dance an incendiary striptease in it.
6. Kim Basinger - “9 1/2 Weeks” (1986)
In 1986, America was not ready for such an explicit film as Adrian Lyne's erotic drama 9 1/2 Weeks. During the preliminary screening, by the end of the screening, out of 1000 spectators, only 40 people remained in the hall, and 35 of them wrote in questionnaires that they did not like the picture. This fiasco predetermined the failure of the film at the American box office, but the film took its toll in Europe and later did well when it was released on video in the States. Obviously, it was simply a movie that Americans wanted to watch in the comfort of home and alone, and not surrounded by unfamiliar viewers. No wonder - when Kim Basinger starts dancing for the camera and for the hero Mickey Rourke, any man wants to retire...
5. Demi Moore – “Striptease” (1996)
The position obliges, but the name obliges doubly. If your picture is named after the main character's profession, you can't get away with a couple of modest hints of striptease. You have to bring the heat. And Demi Moore asked it, having previously spent a lot of time visiting nightclubs and communicating with strippers from New York, California and Florida. What can’t you do for a then-record $12.5 million! By the way, when Moore was filmed on stage for the first time, the extras went into such a frenzy that filming had to be stopped for a while. The actress later stated that this only gave her self-confidence. Like, if professional extras react this way, then how will the audience react! And they were really pleased - despite negative reviews from critics, the film became a commercial hit.
4. Jamie Lee Curtis - True Lies (1994)
When the country orders you to be a hero... But this is our country. America can become not only a hero, but also a heroic stripper. This is exactly what the main character in James Cameron's True Lies believes happens to her when she has an affair with secret agent. The authorities catch her and order her to seduce an arms dealer and slip him a bug. In fact, the woman is not performing a “secret operation” for home country, but for her husband who decided to teach her a lesson. But she doesn’t know this and therefore dances as if her life and the lives of millions of innocent people depend on her success. Long live American women, always ready to take off their clothes for their country!
An unemployed blogger from Gomel asked girls to undress for likes on social networks in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
Andrey Burim is eighteen years old. If you go to his page on the social network VKontakte, you will see the usual young guy from provincial town: selfies, pictures of fast food, “it would be summer soon,” reposts from fashion pages and songs of progressive trap artists. Behind the cramped walls of Andrei’s apartment lies Belarusian Gomel, but instead of it there could be almost any city in the CIS - the life of a teenager, give or take, is identical in all latitudes of the former union.
This is probably why Andrey took up streaming, using the nickname MellStroy. This is, in general, a harmless hobby: usually young people turn on the camera, turn on the game, and make faces. Some people succeed better than others, and their hobby turns into a well-paid job - we wrote about people who collected hundreds of thousands of rubles in a couple of evenings of streaming. The Gomel teenager probably dreamed of such a career, but the problem is that fame still hasn’t found a hero, and without tens of thousands of subscribers you can’t earn money. Andrey began to raise the stakes: in particular, in one of the streams he promised to burn a couple of his things if he got too much a certain amount of spectators. The idea failed, but the young man found another way - to undress teenagers in live, promising them likes.
Dirt
It all started with Chatroulette - a video service where the interlocutor is selected randomly. Chatroulette launched the broad career of blogger and Internet artist Dmitry Larin. Andrei apparently dreamed of a similar development in popularity. MellStroy “caught” pretty girls, who were often 14–15 years old, and offered to play a game: if the interlocutor did not answer a simple question (“How old am I?”), then she had to take off some item of clothing. Many refused, but some were not shy and happily exposed themselves to the amusement of Burim and (then) 500–700 spectators.
Over time, something happened to Andrei that he had dreamed of all his life - long-awaited fame. Several tens of thousands of people subscribed to the channel, and the amount of one-time viewers reached slightly crazy figures - 5-6 thousand each. So many. Even top showmen like Khovansky and Mops do not always gather such a crowd at the monitors - for a little-known streamer this is an astronomical result.
Money also came with fame: during the “show”, grateful spectators do not skimp on encouraging the young pornographer with rubles - those same “donations” work. The amounts, by the standards of top streamers, are small - a couple of thousand per hour, after popularity - more, but for not the most prosperous Gomel, it’s quite nothing. And MellStroy itself does not hide financial side. Here's what he said on one of the streams:
My family is not rich at all. There is nothing to eat. Mother works at a kiosk, father works at a factory. Do you know how much he gets? Five million [about fifteen thousand Russian rubles]. And there are four of us: brother, me, mother and father. I wear sneakers in winter. Thanks to you I earn more than anyone else
streamer MellStroy - about the economic side of creating child pornography
With the growth of popularity, the method of divorce also improved: the guy would find victims even before the fun began, add them to Skype, and then ask them to undress. There is a reward for a children's striptease: Burim promised the girls a lot of likes on social networks, free PR for their Instagram page, and other attributes necessary for the minimal life of a 14-year-old lady. We can't show full videos from streams, but here is a clear excerpt from which we can draw a conclusion - we note that almost 17 thousand people watched this with enthusiasm.
He communicates with other teenagers in a similar way:
Or you can put your fingers down and play with your tangerine
streamer MellStroy persuades a child to perform a public striptease
As we can see, Andrei is clearly turned on by his own activities. When another victim swims into his network, the blogger’s pupils dilate, his voice trembles in anticipation, and his hands involuntarily run through his hair - most likely the reason is sweaty palms. The girl takes off her jacket, and the streamer falls into something very similar to ecstasy; The term “pedophile” can now be illustrated with a clear photograph.
The apogee of this story came at the beginning of January: while the Russians were recovering from New Year's holidays, MellStroy undressed children in front of 50 thousand spectators. It only took a little ingenuity, perseverance and one single promise - to shower the victim’s Internet page with likes.
Anyone who has minimal dealings with YouTube is now at a loss: why wasn’t the cunning Gomel resident banned halfway through his glorious journey? Regular videos are even closed for bare breasts, has the administration of the video hosting site really broken into unprecedented tolerance? As blogger Denis AIDEN Merenkov told us, the thing is different:
The fact is that YouTube does not have an automatic filter for live broadcasts. Only if you use someone else’s content, they can shut it down. And since Andrei deleted the recordings after the end of the broadcast, he had nothing to show. Although it is known that several of his channels were blocked
blogger Denis AIDEN Merenkov
It is not surprising that MellStroy chose the streaming platform from YouTube: on a similar service Twitch it would have lasted no more than two minutes - there they can permanently close the channel for accidentally showing panties. A teenage striptease would definitely not pass any control.
But the fame that Andrei tried so hard to seize eventually turned around and spat poison in his face - a truly wide public found out about Burim’s streams.
Fall and search
For the first time, the Melstroy channel was brought into the spotlight by the mentioned blogger AIDEN. It was from his revealing video, recorded on January 17, that a chain wave was launched: the opinions of other bloggers (not a single noisy Internet scandal can occur without this), a video of the YouTuber’s channel, which is positioned as a media outlet about YouTube events. The headliners of the Russian Internet are silent, but they will definitely have their say: the wild story is still splashing around in a hellish cauldron, but is about to spill out. Before this happened, Life asked AIDEN what triggered young man for such things.
Of course, this is an attempt to gain an audience in any way. It is known that he initially promised on streams, for example, to jump from the balcony if the required mass of viewers was reached. But Andrey switched from harmless jokes to serious things, undressing young girls
blogger Denis AIDEN Merenkov - about the motivation of Andrey Burim
Here Denis is absolutely right - harmless jokes they quietly crossed the line, including the criminal line. Melstroy’s actions can be qualified under Article 343-1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus “Production and distribution of pornographic materials or items of a pornographic nature depicting a minor.” In particular, the first paragraph of the article:
Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus, Article 343-1
So the deadline looming before the young streamer is real, and this is not our speculation at all. As the press service of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Gomel Regional Executive Committee said, the police have already visited Andrei’s apartment, talked to his parents, seized the computer and are now conducting an examination for the presence of pornography in the videos. The press center also added that Andrey does not work or study anywhere, and has now gone on the run - Burim’s whereabouts are unknown, but are being established.
This, however, does not prevent the streamer from entering social media- at the time of writing this article, Andrey was last on VKontakte on the morning of January 18th. Life tried to contact the blogger, but the Gomel resident avoided questions.
Body for likes
But let’s not forget that there are at least two sides to this dubious story. And if with the one who asks to take off her jacket and screams excitedly, everything, alas, is clear, then for the second one there are questions: why take off this jacket at all?
Let's remember how the Rakamakafo channel gained popularity. That's right - through pranks on tipsy girls. “Fresh-year girls undressed for an iPhone” - a video with this title broke into Russian YouTube, provoking a strong discussion. The formula, once successfully implemented by Sobolev, periodically pops up every September: one of the regional entertainers organizes (usually for the initiation of students) a competition for public undressing, where Grand Prize- a new Apple phone. The discussion flares up again, girls are shamed all over the Internet (and some real life), but no one will even look askance at the presenters, saying that the guys have nothing to do with it - they just let people be themselves. In the situation with Melstroy, everyone is talking about him - and not a word about the other side.
Please understand correctly: we are in no way defending Andrei. We understand the difference between students and children (even if it fits into a couple of years). But once again: why take off your sweater, knowing that 10-20 thousand people are looking at you right now (the victims usually knew)? Because this disheveled individual, drowned in adrenaline, promised to promote his page on VKontakte? A strange, very strange motivation - and the iPhone in this context doesn’t look so disgusting.
To understand the situation, Life turned to child psychologist Svetlana Prokopyuk:
For children of this age, status is very important - children are ready to do a lot for it. fashion clothes, gadgets, jewelry - all this emphasizes the status. This shameless use of the body as an object of trade may be an attempt by the teenager to get what he wants. It turns out that status is more important than bodily safety. There is one more point - at this age the concept of intimacy is formed: awareness of the body, the boundaries of this body, interest in conversations of this kind appears. And at the intersection of these two processes - the desire to become noticeable in the eyes of others and the development of an attitude towards one’s body - it turns out that status wins: it is more important for the child to establish himself among his peers, and the value of intimacy is lost
Svetlana Prokopyuk, child psychologist
In addition, as Svetlana Prokopyuk told Life, society also has a great influence on a teenager’s behavior. In talk shows, in political and economic circles, there is an emphasis on outrageousness, on the desire to do something antisocial. And perhaps this becomes a contribution to the behavior of these teenagers - there is a desire to treat their body aggressively. And, perhaps, the teenager later repents, because he understands that such unlimited aggressive use of his body does not lead to good.
It is possible that children are afraid of the committed act also because final result- when they see their naked body on the screen, which is available to millions, they experience a shift
New media
I remember about the main trends Russian YouTube Life ended 2016 with a prophecy: they say that thanks to streaming services, interactivity has come into fashion, and it is still impossible to predict where all this will lead, because the possibilities of YouTube and Twitch are intangible and limitless. The only thing we were sure of was that the site would still throw up more surprises.
The most important thing in this story: the case with Melstroy is only part of the upcoming events that streaming services will dump on us. Since the streamer Karina realized that Twitch can be used in any way, but not for its intended purpose, the very idea of live broadcasts has changed radically - now it is a huge and, we repeat, an unexplored platform for experimentation. wide field. Pug staged the "Running Man" in real life, Burima came up with the idea of a children's striptease. You can treat this with contempt and fear (and these will be the most understandable emotions), but at the moment YouTube is more like a Pandora's box wrapped in ordinary plastic bag: as soon as you scrape off the usual layer and dig a little further, all the demons of the world will immediately fly out and show their snout - and, alas, nothing can be done about it. Because at the end of last year there were more than a hundred thousand people paying to beat up the former robber and fanatic, and at the beginning of this year there were more than fifty drooling over a frightened girl lifting her sweater just above her chest.
Passers-by stop and look out the window in surprise gym, where girls about ten years old are engaged in either dancing or acrobatics... on a silver pole.
“I don’t hang curtains on the windows on purpose,” says Galina, manager sports school Gyrationis, - we have nothing to be ashamed of. These are normal sports activities.
By concept
At the Gyrationis school, children are taught Pole dance. This is a sport in which acrobatic and dance elements are performed on a pole (to put it simply, on a pole). The reason why the sport is confused with striptease is the shiny pole. And shoes. Tall, black, patent leather strip shoes that girls dance in.
Confused? Me too. That’s why I came to Gyrationis to watch children’s Pole dance.
“Why is this dance confused with striptease? And is it possible to teach it to children, because many adults consider this dance immoral?” I ask the head of the school. Galina explains calmly: apparently, I’m not the first to ask a lot of questions.
Classical pole dance dancing in a closed swimsuit, barefoot. Acrobatics and precision in performing the elements are important here. A bright suit and provocative shoes - this is Exotic pole dance. The most important thing for this direction is mannerism, play, artistry.
We teach pole technique. The basis from which the rest of the “branches” then grow: pole art, exotic pole dance, pole sport/pole fitness, explains Galina.
What if you filmed an underage girl dancing on your phone and then posted it on the Internet? Will there be a fuss about morality like the dance with the bees did six months ago?
What they teach at school
Gyrationis does not teach exoticism: they do not believe that heels and manners are what pole dancing needs now as a sport. The school took on a serious task: to “clean” the dance so that children could practice, and grandparents could take them to classes. Perhaps passers-by see a child striptease in the window? Girls are taught technique on the pole without heels and latex.
Adults have stereotypes; children will never think that practicing on the pole is vulgar or erotic,” says coach Galina.
She herself has been pole dancing for only five years. Before that, she received a higher education as a director. The young coach has several awards for preparing athletes for performances at the republican pole dancing competition. We didn’t even know about the existence of children’s pole dance, and the Federation of Sports and Pole Dance has been holding competitions in the “Children” category for several years now.
Imagine, there is even thirteen-year-old Olga Trifonova, who took first place at the world championship in London. The girl lives and trains in St. Petersburg and inspires girls her age to change gymnastics to something more modern look sports.
Her speech at her moment of fame:
Where do legs come from?
The Gyrationis school only opened in February of this year. Children's groups (which accept children from 6 years old) opened even later - in May.
Often children come to me who used to do gymnastics or dance,” says Galina. Some parents attend training to personally make sure that there is nothing obscene in children's Pole Dance. Then they decide whether to enroll the child in classes or not.
Usually girls are given to pole dancing. But, believe it or not, several boys studied in the summer.
It’s more difficult with boys,” Galina admits. - They perceive the pylon as a carousel. The sense of beauty is more developed in girls, and their discipline is also better.
Today there are only seven girls in school. Few? So far this sport is not so popular in Belarus.
Children's pole dance with your own eyes
Pole dancing classes lose their exoticism during warm-up and exercise. Children run around the gym, do the splits - warm up their muscles. The pylons are left unused, so it seems like a new design solution to support the ceiling with silver sticks.
The girls' activities are reminiscent of gymnastics. They are dressed in short T-shirts and shorts. They practice individual elements to music and listen to the coach’s comments. The pole is perceived as a sports equipment, and nothing more: like parallel bars, a beam and a ball for gymnasts. The fun begins when one of the students pulls a nail from the pylon platform... and it starts to spin. Swing! The rotating pylon is even more interesting: you can grab it with your hands and spin around very quickly, doing elements in the air.
First person
Katya, 9 years old:“Only three of my classmates know what I do with these dances. I’m embarrassed to tell the rest.”
Christina, 13 years old:“Since childhood I have been studying variety dancing, and then we moved, and it became inconvenient for my mother to carry us, three sisters. Now we are doing these dances...I forgot what they are called.”
Kira, 9 years old:“I saw these dances on TV and told my mother that I wanted to learn the same way. My grandparents bring me here.”
After an hour and a half lesson, Galina asks me:
-Have you seen debauchery here? Have you seen movements that resemble striptease? Here's a tip so you don't get confused anymore. Watch a real classic striptease, and then pole dance. Or vice versa. There will be no more wrong associations.
Let's begin with strip club strip club discord. A club in which girls only dance, communicate with guests in the common room and privately, without providing sexual services, exists 100% within the law. Virgins from among them.
And an establishment in which private means “numbers” - this is a brothel.
Virgins Not brothel . In private rooms there are curtains instead of walls. This is the only club in Moscow that does not let girls leave their shifts. No way. In general, “light” clubs are now in demand, where you can be with a girl and leave your conscience clear, well, to a certain extent.
Guests
At the entrance to the club, guests are greeted by security. They transmit encrypted information about the guest down the radio. What car did he come in? If by taxi, then in what class? What are you wearing? If this is a new guest, then the loyalty of face control and the order of offering drinks, tables, and food will depend on this “input” information.
At the bar, guests are identified by their club card. All his actions and preferences are recorded on it. The Virgins Club is designed for business representatives, top management, heads of departments of companies, “golden youth”, therefore high level The card does not give discounts, but advantages. For example, a gold card holder can pre-order snacks for the table long before arrival without prepayment and have priority parking near the club entrance.
Among the guests there are people in uniform. For the club owners this was a revelation.
Girls unaccompanied by men can enter the club. For them, entry costs twice as much. And they are not allowed to interact with male guests. This is a common practice when girls pretend to be club guests, but in fact come to work or hunt.
As soon as the guest arrives, a candle is placed on his table so that he has time to get comfortable and place an order at the bar. This is a signal for girls that while the candle is burning, there is no need to approach the guest. After 15 minutes it is removed. If a guest comes to eat, drink and watch, he can leave a candle on his table for 5,000 rubles per hour.
Girls
The thing about Virgins is that they employ girls who have never danced in a club before. They are called virgins, striptease virgins.
All girls are distinguished by colored bracelets:
White. The same virgin. They are guaranteed not to become familiar to experienced guests. However, there are not many of them at all.
Red. Party girl. These girls haven't worked in striptease, but they really love to dance. At the pylon they do not undress and do not communicate with guests.
Blue. Experienced striptease dancer. There are most of these girls in the club. They spend time with guests at tables and in private, dancing and undressing at the pole.
Yellow. Personal concierge. They work in the club to carry out the guest's errands. For example, they help you find a girlfriend for the evening.
Green. Erotic theater actress. These girls only dance on stage. They have their own dressing room and do not interact with the girls of the club. They also have noticeably more athletic bodies, because all the girls with green bracelets are professional dancers with appropriate education.
Black. Waitress. They are dressed in shorts and stockings, which is why they differ from dancing girls in dresses.
Most of the dancers come from other cities. They arrive with absolutely different purposes. Some live one day at a time, like dragonflies from Krylov’s fable. Others purposefully earn, save or invest. More or less active girls receive about 200 thousand rubles a month. But there are some stars who earn more.
On average, a girl works at the club for six months. The permanent staff, the most powerful, numbers 50 people. The other girls don't stay long. Turnover is justified for the club: new faces are refreshing, do not become boring, and this does not contribute to the emergence of familiar relations between the guest and a certain girl. He can simply forget about tips “out of friendship.”
IN American films quite often the stripper is a fit lady well over thirty. In Russia, on average, people retire at about thirty years of age. The girls at Virgins are young, all different, for every taste and color. There are even twins working at the club, they look very impressive on stage!
Another very noticeable point: most girls wear long cocktail dresses. There are also super-mini ones, but not everyone is dressed so openly. The public of this club is much more attracted to various types of inaccessibility.
The first thing that attracted my attention at the table was that the music was playing loudly, and in the club you could talk calmly without straining your ligaments.
Action
There is always someone on the stage and podium.
Firstly, girls don't just pole dance. They dance a trick striptease and are specially trained for this. But you need to distribute efforts between the stage and the guests, since the shift lasts ten hours. This club also places an emphasis on communication.
Secondly, a choreographer with the best dancers stages erotic numbers. This does not directly affect their income, that is, it is not paid separately, but it works great as a promo for girls.
Third, the club outsources erotic dance program. These girls don't go further than the stage. It was not so easy to find a cast with a choreographic school behind them, ready to bare all on stage.
Every 15 minutes, all girls, without exception, are called to the stage for a fashion show. On the one hand, this adds variety to the evening, on the other hand, it helps the guests not to stay too long with the one he suddenly no longer likes. Formality eliminates grievances and conflicts.
The guys from Virgin and they made a separate dance and erotic show “ Empire of Angels", it runs for two hours without a break during the time when the club is not open. They have an idea to outdo Crazy Horse :-) They are now actively rehearsing for this large composition, and the club will have to remodel the hall: the stage will be transformed. Moreover, the task is such that after the end of the show the club starts working as usual in 40 minutes.
How does a dancer earn money?
There are three main sources: tips, private services and consummation.
Consummation- these stimulate demand, that is, girls are interested in selling certain things. For example, custom music. Virgins has abolished consummation for food and drinks: girls can eat and drink unlimitedly. Drink within reasonable limits, they are on duty after all.
Tips the girl gets for dancing on the podium. This amount is divided 30 by 70. Most of goes to the girl.
Private costs 1500 rubles. The girl takes the man there for 5-8 minutes. Here the money is divided 50/50. As I already said, the rooms have curtains instead of walls, and girls do not provide sexual services in the club. But how can you monitor this? Just! There is always a person who goes around all the private areas and keeps an eye on them. If someone screws up, the punishment will be completely unpleasant.
Nobody gives cuffs for a miscalculation, no. The guilty girl is called to the “tribal council”. All employees, young and old, including dancers, gather. And the director begins to sand, the rest join. The girl can only fall through the ground. Looking at this, it’s unlikely that anyone would want to be on frontal place. In four years in this industry (another Burlesque club has existed since 2009), there have been only two such meetings.
The basic principle of the girls' work is a bit communist. You need to work in the interests of the club and other dancers, not to row only for yourself. I personally very much welcome this approach in the field of sales in small and medium-sized businesses.
Girls' health
Despite the fact that this strip club is not a brothel, the health of the dancers is thoroughly monitored. Girls go for examinations to a therapist, dermatologist and gynecologist once a month.
Life outside the club
Among the girls there are mothers. They have bodies that in no way betray a recent pregnancy.
And there are also family ones. Yes, that's the job. There was a funny incident when a man called the club and asked to find out if such and such a girl worked. The club decided, who knows what maniac is calling, will still be waiting at the door. But the girl was informed about the call. She smiled and said that it was her husband and that she would call him back now. She says that he called to say that he is going to bed, and breakfast will be waiting for her on the table.
Most of the girls are young, free and hot.
As a rule, girls have no other job. A ten-hour night shift is very exhausting. Need to rest.
Rotation
IN Virgins On a weekday shift, up to 40-50 girls work. This is a lot for a Moscow club! There are places where only 7-8 people dance, it’s thin, you’ll agree. Here there is always someone on stage, while the girl comes to the pylon no more than once an hour, and the dance lasts no more than seven to ten minutes.
Several people oversee the rotation. They always know who has gone private and who is free. In the club it is customary to announce the exit to the pylon using a microphone.
Who are the people who work at the strip club?
Strip manager- This is the person responsible for the main workforce. He keeps an eye on the girls before going to the gym: he checks the manicure, pedicure, hair removal, even the degree of fragrance. And if something is wrong, he sends you to the shower, to a foot and hand specialist or to a cosmetologist. The club has full-time masters. And a solarium.
Strip managers are not born. Those who are tired of working as an office worker come to this position.
The rotation of dancers is done by young people. It was a great surprise for me to learn that military personnel and cadets (very young guys) come to this position. They know how to follow a given line like no one else and keep everything in memory.
The founders of Virgins are family people with children.
Behind the Scenes
And some photos from places where no guest has ever set foot.
There are four dressing rooms in the club. Two large ones for all the girls working on the podium and with guests, one large one for the artists and a small one for best girl(this challenge banner).
All girls get their makeup and hair done.
The service manager has his own thematic collection.
And a separate wardrobe of work dresses.
In the office under her control there is a solarium and washing machines.
Cleaners have at their disposal very convenient backpack vacuum cleaners with a long cord for quickly cleaning the club.
In such a club you cannot do without a caretaker.
The head of the household's screwdrivers are in the appropriate box with a mirror.
Rules and cheat sheets.
Hookah workers have their own small office-warehouse.
The club has a full restaurant menu and a large kitchen. On the rack with dishes we found themed lids, again.
Good job by the DJ and lighting guy - their room has a large window overlooking the catwalk.
The DJ plays music either himself or at the request of the guests (format or not). And announces the exits of the girls. A cheat sheet with epithets to help him.
