NEWSLETTER:September Update 09-04-07

Well, it is official. School is back! That means the summer is almost over. Which means time to start covering up the skin again. But how many of you are already covering up? How many of you covered up all summer? How many were too afraid to wear short shorts or put on a swim suit? How many of you were embarrassed by your upper arms and wouldn't dare bare your belly. Too many of you! Perhaps you said, "This summer my body wasn't perfect enough...maybe next summer." Isn't that what you said last summer? Listen up ladies, time is passing you by while you are obsessed with your body's unimportant imperfections! Time that could be spent with the breeze on your thighs or god forbid, at the beach! It is time to love your body for what it is and stop comparing yourself to the idea of perfection that you have in your head. NO ONE IS PERFECT. We seem to continually strive towards body perfection. Buying creams, lotions, makeup, and the whole lot; dieting and restricting, spending hours in the gym or hours beating ourselves up for not being in the gym. But what we don't see is that perfection is impossible to attain...although the media does a darn good job of raising our expectations, by hiding the truth. I think this video in our blog http://www.stripxpertease.com/2007/02/when-world-makes-us-feel-ugly-fat-etc.html is a great example of what we don't see. Go Dove! Check out their other videos, including the pro-age commercial that they can't play on American TV http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/flat4.asp?id=7133 . This commercial actually got pulled from US stations for showing too much skin...so they say. Yet this Victoria's Secret ad is perfectly OK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmt08cZ8S6A. Dammit America, WAKE UP! Stop trying to make women think that anything besides airbrushed retouched perfection is vulgar. I think the Dove ad is admirable and the women in it are gorgeous. These women were brave enough to bare it all for all the world to see and they are wonderful for doing it! They showed it all, wrinkles, stretchmarks, rolls, splotches, and imperfections on HUGE billboards and TV ads! And because they were confident, they rocked it! So ladies, take a cue from these women! Put down the magazines and wrinkle cream, bare some skin, and love yourself! Put on some short shorts and enjoy the rest of the summer!xoxo-Kimberly

Oh My God...They All Have Cellulite!
That is what two girls leaned over and whispered to me during the last Strip Club Field Trip. I laughed and said, "I told you gals, they're not perfect." I think the reason that women have so much fun on the field trip is because they leave feeling better about themselves. It is such an eye-opener. They leave realizing that they are beautiful just the way they are. They realize that strippers don't have this unattainable beauty that they thought they had. I think most women and men hold strippers in the same light that we hold a lot of celebrities in. We think their bodies, hair, and skin are flawless. The truth is, nobody in that club is perfect. Nobody. I used to joke and say that you could go down the line at a strip club dressing room and find either cellulite, or stretchmarks, or both on every girl. And for the most part it was true. Of course, there is the exception to the rule. There are girls who do not have cellulite visible to the naked eye, girls who take your breath away with or without make up, but they usually live in the gym and eat plain chicken breast 5 times a day, or they are among the blessed. And they are not the majority. Similar to the "Stars Without Their Makeup" issues of all of those gossip magazines(the one time magazines don't air brush), there is always the one star who looks better without her make up, but the rest look like real people. Strippers for the most part are beautiful women with nice skin, great hair, and toned bodies just like our leading ladies (and believe me when I say, they work at it...hard), but they're not perfect. They are real people that have the resources, time, and lighting to just look that way, just like those celebs in the magazines.The point is that no woman is truly perfect, but there will always be the women that will strive to be her and the men that will strive to find her. But in the long run, those people just get disappointed. True beauty comes from within. It comes from CONFIDENCE (Now, don't get me wrong, mascara, a good lip gloss, and a few miles on the treadmill never hurt anyone.) But that is why I love those Dove ads, especially the pro-age one. Because the women are beautiful and REAL and CONFIDENT. And to me they are still sexy!So for those of us who might not be able to spend 6 hours a day in the gym, who are old enough to be the mother of a stripper, who happen to enjoy the occasional cheeseburger, or who can't afford a make-up artist to follow us around, we have to accept our imperfections and love ourselves. Be confident, and of course, take care of yourself. All women have beauty. Yet so many of us conceal it with low self esteem and self hatred. So love yo-self, because if you don't love yourself, there isn't any amount of makeup or hairspray that can do the trick. Anyone can pull out her inner stripper. We all posses the skills to be sexy. So don't be silly, realize you are a sexy mama just the way you are. That is why I love teaching this movement, because when women really learn the moves and start dancing, they don't look anything but sexy. They become these fierce creatures that finally look in mirror and see what they should always see...a beautiful, confident, sexy woman.

Striptease songs, songs to strip to.

So many people ask me for song suggestions. So I compiled a list. Several. Be careful and make sure you read the mix description to avoid songs that were accidentally included by iTunes.

You have to access these lists from the program iTunes, not the iTunes store on your web browser. If you don't have iTunes you can download it here for free. http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Have fun!!
OK. The lists can only be accessed from your actual iTunes player

Click on iTunes (look in your programs on your computer)to open the program.
Click on the iTunes store, which is on the left hand side...a little icon that looks like shopping bag.
In the new screen that opens, look at the box that says iTunes store on the left hand side.
In that box, click on Music... (if you have been on iTunes recently go to the top bar and click Music next to the little house icon.)
In the new screen look on the left hand side in the box called More in Music, click iMix.
In the search for box type in: StripXpertease, and click the magnifying glass.
Then they should be there!

Walking in the Stripper Shoe

OK. Here is how it is mastered......PRACTICE!! :)
Yes, it takes time, and hard practice. But if you really want to master it, you just have to keep walking in them. It all comes down to repetition and balance.
First, you need to make sure the shoe fits. Then try just wearing one shoe. I know it will be weird, but just wear it around... step, step up, step, step up. Then switch feet. This will help you familiarize yourself with how your foot moves around in the shoe.
Then throw them both on. Wear them in 20 minute increments...like while doing household chores...the boyfriend/hubby will love it. And it seems to be much easier to do dishes in 6 inch stripper heels. :)
Try to stay on hard even surfaces, pile carpet is death to the sexy walk. You can always start with a wedge or chunky heel first http://snaz75.com/ts-806.html or http://snaz75.com/pl-nuwave-509.html. I personally think they are ugly as hell and I think most dancers do too because the style came and went pretty quickly. A stiletto heel will always make your legs look better too. But you can also try a wedge, some wedges are pretty hot. http://snaz75.com/el-w-manhattan.html http://snaz75.com/pl-beau-609.html http://snaz75.com/ts-601.html (my fave).
As always the more the ankle is supported, the better you feel when you do fall, so don't ever do slip-ons unless you can walk in the regular stripper shoes first.
Also try walking up and down stairs, USIGN THE HAND RAIL!, for more practice.
When you first start walking, look down at your feet, then as you become better try not looking down until you can get the hang of it. Then try walking a bit faster in them. Also try strengthening the ankle as well http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/orthopedicsandpt/ss/anklerehab_4.htm
And just know, I've been wearing these heels every other day for over 10 yrs and I still take a little stumble every once and a while.
Good luck!!!

Britney, Britney, Britney

Where so I start? OK, so I am always preaching how important it is to connect. That your face is the most important thing right? Well, I think this proves it. This is Britney Spears "performance" from the 2007 MTV VMA's. It is terrible. More like a bad audition to So You Think You Can Dance, there is no connection.
Ladies, you have to make eye contact , connect with your music and with the person you are dancing for, and most importantly....YOU MUST LOOK CONFIDENT! If not you will look just like this train wreck...bless her soul.

Stretching the Stripper Shoe.

It seems that a lot of women have trouble with the shoe and the fit. They have trouble with the part that goes across of the top of the toes being too tight. This can be a problem. In the club the girls had a neat trick. They would take a hair dryer to the plastic part to heat it, thus making it more pliable, then slip a socked foot inside (the sock prevented the skin from burning) to stretch out the shoe. They would wear it for 15 or so minutes while the shoe cooled and then repeat if necessary.
I recently had a client who had a problem where this part was too big. If it stretches too much that is where the payless shoe pads come in handy, but make sure you super glue them in or they will move around too much. These Tip Toes are a bit more pricey than payless but, same concept.

It seems that someone needs to come in and make these shoes a bit more comfortable, but in the meantime just shop around until you find one that fits. Try them on in the local store and find a brand you like and then order them online to save money.
Good luck ladies!

Stripper Shoes in Austin TX

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Titty Bar

That's what we always called it. I think the polite term is Gentlemen's Club. But no one who frequented them ever called them that. And clubs all had nicknames too. There was an all nude club in Austin called Show Palace, everyone called it Pussy Palace. Expose was Sexpose (pronouced sex-po-say). The Yellow Rose...hell I think they just called it the Rose. But none the less, for the regulars, they are strip clubs, titty bars, boobie bars, honey houses, beaver barns, and nudie bars.
