Elin Berge is a Swedish female photojournalist working on a large documentary story about the "empowered erotica" phenomenon - American women who in different ways find liberation by embracing their sexuality. This trend is not yet as big in Sweden or Europe, but the curiousness and interest is starting to grow.
She is very interested in meeting common women who are trying striptease as a part of her story. She wants to learn more about the reasons to explore exotic dance, and how it feels to attend to a class. She's looking for enthusiastic students at StripXpertease who are willing to be photographed during classes to share their experiences.
Elin Berge is a freelance photographer and the story will be available for magazines all over the world since her agency is distributed in USA and Europe. Look at her previous work at http://www.momentagency.com/ .

How to striptease ...our article. Section D of PART I

Step Three: Bring him to ecstasy by pretending you are in it.

Throughout the dance, your eyes should do three things and only three. One: look directly into his eyes; use the sorcerer move. Look at him like you want him more than a starving man wants bread. Two: keep your eyes closed. Allow him the freedom to explore your body with his own eyes without feeling like you are watching him. This is the ultimate voyeuristic pleasure for him. They love to watch us! Three: watch your own hands as they move across your body (I will cover hand moves in part two.). Whatever you do, never look around the room. Next, make your breathing heavy. Do all the little things your body does right before orgasm. Lick your lips, moan ever so slightly, roll your head back, and open your mouth. Yes!

Now you have lit the candles, shaved further back than you ever thought possible, and you mugged in the mirror so much you can do it in your sleep. You are feeling like Cleopatra in a pearl back thong. But, now the question is, how do I actually dance? How do I move my hips, perform a lap dance, and turn in these heels. Just stay tuned to part two to learn all the movement secrets. But in the meantime, practice what you have learned so far. Purchase your ideal costume, perfect your seductive smile, practice walking in your heels, and work on that mantra. And do not feel guilty if you start to become more excited about the way you feel regarding yourself than the way he is going to feel when you are done with your dance. Like I said, it is okay to be a little selfish.


Stay tuned for PART II !!!!

How to wear those crazy "stripper" heels...and not fall down!
Okay, so you don't wanna wear the stripper heels because you never wear them....or they hurt, or they are too high...well it IS a learned thing. If you are going to wear "stripper" heels, I suggest 6 inch open toe (lets tootsies not get so smushed) platform heels (pumps are a whole other animal) with ankle support. That means that a strap wraps around your ankle. And make sure the toe strap is fairly thick too. Boots are great as well. And they give the ankle lots of support. They are a bit pricier, but safer for those worried about falling. Just know, even the seasoned professionals trip up every once and a while. All you have to do is make sure you can play it off ...like no big deal.
Wear them in 20 minute increments until you start to feel comfortable, then in 40 minute increments. Keep this up until you can wear them for an hour and not fall. Wear them while you do household chores or while cooking. Your partner will be pleased, that is for sure! Then try squatting and moving around....movements besides just walking. Once you can wear them and not fall, try walking faster and faster until you can do a light jog in them from one end of the house to the other. Then you will have mastered the shoes!
When you wear them, point your toes at every opportunity. POINT POINT POINT!!! If you aren't putting weight into the foot then the toes should be pointed. Even when you are standing and especially when you are doing floor moves. Even in boots! The act of pointing will engage the muscles in your leg and instantly give you better lines, so please point. If you find your foot cramping, and it will, just realize that the more you point, the more that little foot muscle gets used to it. So try to "work out" your feet more. Ex: Without shoes, point, and then flex. Repeat 50 x's. Then try "drawing" the alphabet with your pointed toes.
And as far as options, you have a lot.
BUT:
Be able to walk in 6 inches before you move to 8 inches. Please. If the cushion of the shoe is black, the ink will most likely bleed onto your toes, if your feet sweat at all. The sole of the shoe should be rubber, or you will slip around. And if you wear boots, wear thick socks too. If you find your foot slipping through the shoe, you can find cheap shoe pads at payless shoe source and super glue them into the base of the shoe. If you don't glue them in, they will slip around when you point your toe.
And NO, in reality, they aren't like walking on little pillows, but if you wear them and put on a good show, what he does to you afterwards should feel pretty damn close :)
Good Luck!
-Kimberly

We all need a little uh-uh

My grandmother just came to visit and it was great. She was the first relative to actually visit me in NYC. Growing up, we(my cousin and I)spent our summers at her house. They(my grandparents)lived in a big house with multiple bedrooms and great places to hide. And in one room there was a whole bookshelf of romance novels. The covers were risque or so I thought. As a young girl these covers were my first "sneak a peek" experience...looking at the covers and getting that feeling that I shouldn't be looking. Looking back they weren't dirty at all.
But my grandma loved them and she left one behind that she had finished reading. Ha ha I thought, a romance novel. I mean I know what they are, but I haven't ever actually read one. So I opened it up, Sheer Delight by Judy Gill. She had sat on the couch reading while I worked during her stay. I wondered what it was all about...And this is the page I landed on.

"She took his hand from her breast and moved it down through the water where she most wanted his caress. He slid his fingers over her flesh, parting it, probing, stroking. 'Like this?' he whispered. 'Is this what you need?' " yes ...' she moaned, and he slipped two fingers inside her while he worked her sensitive nub."

OH MY GOD! She was reading THIS!?! I couldn't believe it. I thought, wow grandma! And it was funny, considering the way she reacted to what I do now as a living. She said we just wouldn't tell people about it. People being her church friends I suppose.
It made me realize we all yearn for that sexual excitement. We all want to feel that heat. Even my grandma. I mean, even if people put of this goodie-goodie or prude facade on, there is a vixen underneath. I think it goes back to shame. That is why we hide these yearnings, these desires. We are all to afraid to ask for what we want. We don't want to be laughed at or made fun of or looked at like a freak by our peer group. Too bad. I wonder how much happier my grandma's church group would be if they all got together and read this book in book club. It would be a Sheer Delight!

How to hide our flaws...aka cellulite

Strip tip:
Its all about the fishnets ladies. They are hot and you can get a pair that is all fishet and just a tiny wait band. Put then on and pullup a thong to cover the waistband for a cellulite zapper with sex appeal. The criss cross pattern will divert the eyes and make your legs look super hot.

All about the angles

Strip-tip:
Always try to keep nice angles. Look in the nirror when you dance...it should be all perfect arched curves and angles. Use your hands on your hips with elbows straight out to frame your chest. And keep legs straight any time you bend forward to make the booty pop. YEAH!

No More Razor Bumps…..Down There!

When you talk about “hair down there”, I have tried it all: shaving, waxing, honey waxing, sugaring (someone even tried threading...ouch). I finally found something that doesn’t irritate my skin and doesn’t leave those unsightly bumps.
Drum roll please……… It’s MAGIC: Shaving Powder.
It is so easy to use and the results are the same as when you get freshly waxed.
First you make a paste by mixing the powder with equal parts water. It smells a little like permanent solution (for those of us who used to rock the perm-yikes!)
After you make it, you apply it on the hair you want removed. You can actually design how you want your hair to look.
Then, you leave it on for about 5 minutes, making sure the paste stays moist. (I reapply the paste several times throughout the 5 minutes).
Lastly, you scrape off the paste with a spatula (I use the blunt side of a butter knife), and off come all of your little hairs. Rinse. Presto! Smooth and bump free.
It only lasts a few days, but the convenience of being able to do it at home and attain bump free skin is worth the added maintenance.
You can purchase MAGIC: Shaving Powder in New York City at Ricky’s and Duane Reade’s. For anyone who has tried it all, like me, this may just be the answer to all your "hair down there” needs.

Reactions to my dyed "betty"

Well, the word is out, and the reaction is mixed. I told my close girlfriends, even gave a few a quick peak. All of the girls were excited, thought it was cool. But the boys...weird. I actually have only shared my news with 2 boys(told not showed). I told my roommate. He asked, "Why?" Why? Why not!? He didn't seem impressed with the idea. He said all men preferred no hair at all, so hair, much less pink hair, would do nothing for him. Interesting. So the I decided to tell the "guy." This boy that I have had an on again off again thing with for a like a decade. If anyone will be impressed, it would be him. I told him on the phone expecting to peak his interest. Nothing. He was worse than the roomie. He said it might actually be a turn off. WHAT?!?! I was crushed. Dang-it! But of course I thought, juuuust wait till he sees it. Then we'll see who is turned off. :)

Pink Pussy Power!!

Ok, my hair...down there...is pink. And I don't mean baby pink, I mean hot bright pink. And I love it!!!

A few weeks ago, I read an article in Business 2.0 about Nancy Jareki's new company called Betty Beauty. Nancy created Betty Beauty after she saw women sneaking home doggy bags of dye from the beauty shop to essentially make the purse match the shoes. She spent 2 yrs on R&D and came up with Betty Beauty's home pubic hair dye. It gives your "betty" a new life and even covers gray with a super safe, no drip formula.
As I read, my jaw was hanging. I was thinking, what will they think of next, and how do I get some!?! I couldn't WAIT to get on the computer and order online. I was SO siked! They had a few colors: blonde, black, auburn, brown and hells yeah, hot pink!!! I of course ordered "Fun Betty," the pink dye.

It arrived fairly quickly. I had already told Monica about my expected package, and was seriously itchy with excitement. It almost made me wish I was dancing again so that I could show all the girls. I wondered if the club girls already knew about this stuff. Maybe I was behind the times now. I used to always be up to date with all new beauty products because I worked with a hundred girls that all had to always look their best, and always had the money to buy every new fandangled product on the market.

The Fun Betty package had a tray, two tubes of color, developer, a pair of over sized silky soft mascara wands, and a stirrer/spatula. Also included was a small black triangle bean bag and pin that asked, "Is your betty ready?" I wondered, was it? I knew my roommate would be leaving for a good while and I felt like shoving him right out the door so I could get started.

First, I had to lighten the hair...essentially I had to get a blonde betty before the pink treatment. I used 1/2 the developer and half lightening creme so that I could save a little. As I mixed it became thick like cake frosting. The directions call for a trim outside of the "Safe Zone", which is a triangle shape right above your "betty." I personally think you should shave to perfect your triangle and THEN trim the actual hair inside the safe zone. They also recommend a patch test. I have been dyeing my hair, on top, for 10 years and have never actually done the 48 hour patch test. I have no patience and this time wasn't any different, but as I applied the first coating, I had a small panic attack. What if I did have to run to the ER with a burning muff?? That would be a bit embarrassing, to say the least. But the mixture was already on. No turning back now. A little cold and tingly, but no burning, whew! And I used the mixture just like frosting...using the spatula instead of the wand to frost my own cupcake.

Then I waited. I lounged on my bed and watched a little Survivor as I timed the 1/2 hour wait...yes 1/2 an hour. It wasn't bad though, and I could imagine the hair lightening under my white muff frosting beard, as I waited. What a trip! I thought that I might just leave it blonde and skip the pink if I really liked it.

Then it was time to take a shower and rinse. Which I just did in the tub. They recommend a shampoo and condition as well. How funny, but I admit to doing this one in my own before ...just to see if you could really soften your betty hair. But that's another story!

So I was now a blonde betty. This was a little weird for me. I have never really gotten into the fully shaved look. It feels a little to pre-pubescent. Like I lost my womanhood. I always have a little something. So the white blonde hair just looked like no hair at all. So I was ready to move to PINK!

So now I had to rinse the tray(it was getting a little flimsy now), and squeeze enough pink into the tray to complete the job. They also say you can keep a little extra for a boost as it fades. Left-overs, sweet! The color was bright...like Manic Panic Pink. I applied and went back for part 2 of Survivor. Realizing that, so far, I was a survivor!

I look like a pink monster now. And when it was time to rinse, I realized it stained my skin, but a little loofah action and some shampoo did the trick. As look down I am a little unimpressed. It is pink all right. But an hour plus of work for this? I think, well it was an adventure anyway. I dry off and walk to my room. As I pass the mirror, I do a double take. Wait a minute...this is cool..no this is hot! I love it! I just needed to see the full view!
Now I couldn't wait to show someone! But that is another story ;)

Virgins or whores

AGAIN!
Its the whole we are either virgins or whores thing.
This guy at the local pizza shop flirts with me. One day he asks me what I do. I tell him and instantly he changes, and he talks about it...loudly, in front of these two guys at the counter. Their looks change ...they look at me like ...yeahh baby, show me your tits. Its a little gross. I think, what, because I teach striptease classes I am a insatiable sex queen who can't wait to put your dick in my mouth? Cuz that's the way they are all looking at me. Gees! Is this the reason so many of my clients can shout about class from the rooftops? It the looks...from men!
It is so upsetting to me that so many men in this country are so sexually starved that they behave this way. And it might be our own fault!! We are raising our sons to be ashamed of sexuality and sex and all that goes with it. Other countries don't have this stigma we do when it comes to sex. WHY!?!
If we all just admitted that it is perfectly natural and !good! maybe pizza boy pete would have said oh, that's cool...you want pepperoni? Instead of letting his tongue hang out all over my slice.
Listen up boys, women are changing...we are becoming more aware of our bodies, our sexuality, and our feminine wiles. There is a middle ground. We can be sexy and still not sleep with you on the first date. Just because I took a striptease class doesn't mean I am loose. If I have a porn or two, it doesn't mean I am a porn star. It just means that we we do have sex... I will be open to new things, new experiences, and it will be better for us, because once I am comfortable with my own sexuality then I can relax and let go and what happens next will be amazing...for both of us.

RAZOR BUMPS ..follow up

OK, so I still get asked this and once again I mentioned the stuff, in the can, that has a lid like a paint can...it is for black men. OK, so I found it!!!! And it is called MAGIC...and that's how it works. like magic!. Its like Nair, but apparently better. My friend who was also a dancer with thick black hair (all over)said it was the only thing that worked on a daily basis. She used a card(like a credit card) to do the "shaving" part.
Here a link to the product on drugstore.com and other places. Good luck!

With skin conditioners

Regular

Scented...although it might be a "manly" scent

EXTRA strength!

Just a suggestion though...I personally have never tried it, but I worked with her and saw the results myself...pretty good!

Cute shirts for bachelorette parties

Lingerie Shopping on a Budget!

Many people ask me, “Where can I buy pretty lingerie without spending a lot of money?”
Below are 4 great websites to purchase some great deals:

If you are looking for hosiery check out my recent discovery and currently my favorite online website: www.stockingshopping.com

They have a great selection and have a brilliant idea I have only seen on this site. It’s called: Garter Stocking…..it’s a one piece stocking and garter belt. It looks great on and so much easier than attaching your stockings to those tricky traditional garter closings! Put your thong on over the garter stocking for easy removal!

My favorite stay-up stockings are made by Levant. For less than $15 you can get a pair of sexy fishnet thigh highs. Check out their selection at: www.levanteusa.com. For those in New York City you can also purchase them at La Petite Coquette at University between 9th and 10th Streets.

Wolford is synonymous with quality and fashion and once you own one piece you will be hooked for life! They are also a bit pricey, but you can find GREAT deals on new Wolford hosiery on www.ebay.com. Just search “wolford.”

For fun lingerie, stockings, accessories and toys check out: www.patriciafield.com. Be sure to check out the sale section for great savings. In NYC? Head to her store located on Bowery just North of Houston. It is stocked full of fun stuff that you can’t find on the website!

When the world makes us feel ugly, fat, etc.....

I think we live under this false veil that everyone else is so much more than we are especially when it comes to beauty. Celebrity and models are all so perfect(so it seems) and we strive so hard to measure up, but it is air brushing and lights and ..well, old fashioned smoke and mirrors.
I think this sums it up...




It is about a minute long...

Basic Moves Striptease Class Breakdown

So many women want to know what they are gonna learn in the classes so here is a breakdown.
Where do I start, what do learn?..in easy lay woman's terms. OK, first we got Basic. Basic is essentially a crash course. A one hour and forty five minute class that gives you a little bit of it all, but also gets to the meat of what true striptease is all about. Because it isn't about just how you move to the music. It is about your eyes, your posture, the thoughts in your head, your attitude, and the way that you view yourself. So we touch on all of those things.
We get you through your walk, your entrance and the two basic moves (the Robert and Lotion) that you can use when all else fails. We teach you a few moves to do while facing him and then we give you a few moves to accentuate your rear view.
The we move on to the infamous lap dance section. We teach you how to properly position him so that you both can have the best lap experience.
Then again, a few forward facing moves, rear facing moves, and moves where you actually place you body on top of his..oh la la!
Then we show you how to pull off your clothes in a sexy way...including our famous super glue bra trick. Then we talk about C.O.M.A. and review everything.
So come join us for a class and see what it as all about. This is a great way to bond with your girlfriends.
See ya in class!

Why take a striptease class?

I was recently asked a few questions and I wanted to share my responses with you. The questions are about why striptease is popular and why women are now flocking to it in masses!!


Why do you think Exotic dance has gained such popularity over the last year?
1. I think exotic dance and striptease has gained popularity year after year. Perhaps this year stands out to some because it is just reaching further across the US. But I think the real reason is that there has been a lot of press coverage on striptease fitness this year. Terri Hatcher raved about Shelia Kelly's S factor (pole fitness) and Oprah featured both of them on several of her shows. Also Carmen Electra's aerobic striptease video was released in 2003 or 2004, so it is just now really getting out into the world. And I think it will continue to grow. However, these "fitness classes" were just an acceptable front to what was really being taught, or sought after anyway. The public wasn't ready for "stripper" classes, but striptease aerobics was a little easier to swallow. However, now that the public is seeing that the trend is here to stay and that everyone from lawyers to Sunday school teachers are taking it, is becoming more acceptable. Now several companies, ours included, are skipping the fitness cover and going straight to the slow and sensual moves which are what women really want to learn. And other companies, just like ours, are using exotic dancers to teach and design their classes, not aerobics instructors. These ladies want to move like the girl at the strip club, not like Jane Fonda..no offense Jane. Because real strippers don't sweat!! The routines and moves are slow, sexy, and very sensual.

Why is exotic dance something that so many woman want to learn?
2. I think women just want to feel wanted, to feel sexy. That is why they come to class, to feel desirable and to awaken that naughty diva inside that society and just plain growing up has stifled. They want to feel OK about using their sexuality. It is a bit of the Cleopatra complex; to be able to use your feminine wiles to have ultimate power. But really it is about self confidence. I think most women with self esteem issues(and we all have our moments) trace this problem back to issues with their bodies, their looks, hence their sexiness. These classes let women use movement to reconnect to this lost sexiness, and big thighs and small breasts are forgotten when they see them selves moving. It is just another baby step in the yet unfinished feminist revolution that started over forty years ago.

Any other comments you might have about what you have seen as far as increased popularity.
3.Popularity is gaining because it is becoming more accepted. But we still have a long way to go. We(StripXpertease) still get denied rental space because of the "type" classes we teach and I still have clients who don't want to tell anyone about their classes. But there are those who do promote us and those clients who want to tell the world, and as long as they keep talking, this trend will continue to grow.

Pole dancing is hard y'all!

O ...this is why I don't teach pole dance..Cuz its hard!! And I dont' want to be responsible for this. I have seeen this happen in the club too...OUCH!!

How to perform a striptease ...our article. Section C of PART I

Step two: Harness your confidence, or at least the look of it.

Gentleman’s clubs always advertise a bevy of top notch, Playboy quality beauties for your carnal pleasure. However, the truth is that they are not all Barbie doll babes. They can be extremely short, very tall, sport double Gs, or be flat chested. They can be too thin or quite chunky. I have seen a shaved head dancing next to Portia De Rossi hair. Some wear more makeup than Tammy Faye, and some have never used mascara in their life. But they all make money. So who makes the most? It is not always the prettiest girl with the perfect C cup. It also is not the girl who dances a little closer than she should in the VIP room. Time and time again, the girl who leaves with the fattest wad of bills is the girl who exudes the most confidence through out the night, be it on stage or on the floor. Whether it is a put on or sincere, confidence is a must. At first, for you, it probably will not be genuine. After all, it can be a daunting experience to stand in front of your man and put on a sexy show. It is natural to be nervous, but you must put on an act. Every exotic dancer has something that they feel completely self conscious about, but they fake it and push onward! So, how do you achieve this false confidence when all you can think about is your exposed cellulite, falling in your heels, and whether or not he is going to laugh or cry? Your first step is to practice, practice, practice. I will say it again, it is imperative that everything is this little guide be practiced. Strippers are not born; they are made through 8 hours a night, 4 days a week of on the job training. Trust me, every veteran in the bar can spot a new girl a mile away. Just keep that in the back of your mind.
To achieve the look of confidence, a constant smile is paramount. Not the beauty queen smile, but the, I have a naughty little secret smile. Smile a devious smile like the Elvis grin that made the world week in the knees. Now, tilt your head down slightly, and lift your eyes. You are now in predator mode, and he is most definitely the prey. Mimic the Sahara lion stalking her prey in the tall grass, moving deliberately. You are in control of this show, this ride, this moment. Then you must find your mantra. This is something you will repeat over and over inside your head. It should pull your focus inward and make you feel powerful. Repeat, “He wants me. He is so hot for me, I could just stand here and he would pop a woody.” Sound stuck up? Good! Remember, selfish stripper! By doing this you are oozing confidence and finding your power. Next, look at him and narrow your eyes a la Paris Hilton. Imagine yourself as Medusa or a powerful sorceress, and your gaze is what keeps the spell alive, intact. Practice this face in the mirror. Just like models practice their look in a mirror, so should you, until it becomes easy and natural. Do it while you put on your make up in the morning.

How to perform a striptease ...our article. Section B of PART I

Step one: Put him in a C.O. M. A.

Since you don’t have the DJ, lights, house mom (lady responsible for hair and makeup in the dressing room), or pole, you will have to improvise and do it yourself. Remember this; you will want to make him beg for more. Hurt him so badly that you leave him in a coma. That is C.O. M. A.

C stands for confidence. Make sure you are feeling very confident on the day of your dance. He might have a reaction that you did not plan on. When faced with something like this from their lovers, men are sometimes overwhelmed. They might be embarrassed or even laugh. I even had a client tell me once that her boyfriend cried because he was so touched. Just make sure that you are confident in your skills, have practiced, and have prepared for anything that might happen. I will discuss confidence in more detail in a moment.

O is for outfit. The key is to wear what makes you feel as sexy and as fabulous as possible. Do not be concerned with what he likes. Your pride and happiness in the way you look will make you more attractive than you would be in something he picked out that makes you feel less than beautiful. Remember, selfish stripper! Go to your local lingerie store, pick out a few outfits, and please try them on to see how they fit. Buy at least two outfits, and wear the one that feels best for your mood on the big day. Nothing makes a stripper feel worse than the wrong outfit. There is a very good reason why dancers have 30 outfits and change constantly. You will also need a thong, or T-back, which is an undie with a one inch thick strip of cloth that covers your rear end. G-strings (undies with just a string to cover the back end) are nice, but I feel that they reveal a little too much before it is time. It is like wrapping a gift in cellophane. If you insist on full bottoms, wear a thong underneath for the final reveal. And yes, you need heels. You would not ride a bicycle without tires and you are not going to do a striptease without heels. My recommendation is six inch stiletto platform open toe shoes with an ankle strap. They will be easy to find online. Your new shoes will need to be broken in. Just wear them around the house in 20 minute intervals until you start to get the hang of it. If they are too tight, heat up the stretchy plastic parts with a hair dryer before slipping them on. They really can be quite comfortable once you adjust to the height. Also do not be afraid to experiment with accessories like belly chains, thigh highs, gloves, garters, and hats. However, all accessories stay on.
M is for music, your background music. It should be loud enough to feel in your body, but it should not over power the show. It can be fast if you want it to be, but slow and heavy songs are always best. No matter how fast the song is you should always move slowly. Also, your song should conjure up emotion. It should make you feel empowered, sexy, or exactly how you imagine you will feel when you ace the dance. I happen to love Into You by Ashanti because the song describes how much she adores the man in front of her and the beat is super sexy. Or for empowerment, Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson is great and fun to move to. Songs about sex and its joys are always perfect. Darling Nikki by Prince is just plain hot. Load your new hit into your iPod and listen to it like a Tony Robbins tape. Absorb it. You should know every guitar riff, every lyric, every oh and ah. The more that you know your song, the better that you will be able to move to it. The beauty of dancing is that you can move to drums, guitars, even lyrics. As you practice with your song, you will see where you can punch certain moves and accelerate others. Just like the original strippers, or burlesque dancers, moved to the drum beat, so will you.
A is for atmosphere and appearance. These are things we know, but often overlook: kids at grandma’s, phones off, lights dimmed, doors locked, and wine and candles as needed. Also, a little effort on your looks will go a long way. Shave everything (ever heard of a Brazilian wax?), get a pedi/mani, let your hair down, use lots of perfume, put on makeup, and pop a mint. Body oils, shimmery powders, and lip glosses are wonderful beauty tools as well.

How to perform a striptease ...our article. Section A of PART I

You go girl, you finally did it! You took a strip cardio class, wore your new Victoria’s Secret bra, sat your lover down, and told him to prepare for your alluring and tantalizing striptease. Except… it didn’t go quite as planned. To work up your courage, you drank one too many glasses of wine. You fell twice. You couldn’t get your damn bra unhooked, and instead of channeling Gypsy Rose Lee or Carmen Electra, you embodied a dancing hybrid of Dame Edna and Elaine from Seinfeld. Bless your heart, you tried. The truth is it is not as easy as strippers make it look. Nevertheless, striptease is a fantastic way to get in touch with your inner diva and show your sweetheart that you aim to please. There is nothing better than a new trick that causes your lover to stare at you with wide eyes and gasp, “Where did you learn that?”

Now more than ever, women are lining up in droves to learn this special way of erotic and powerful control. I know because I myself teach ordinary women how to move like exotic dancers. I have taught all types, sizes, and shapes of women including grandmothers, CEOs, third grade teachers and doctors. I am 29 now, and I spent the majority of my twenties as a topless dancer, dancing my way into the hearts and wallets of men for more years than I care to admit. And I was good. When the guys were not spending money in the bar, the rear dressing room would become full of girls. But I was rarely in the back. Once a fellow dancer walked into the dressing room filled with fed up girls, sat next to me, and said, “Well, if you’re back here, I know there’s no money out there!” I was always raking in the dough. However, I was not the best looking girl in the club. I was muscular with a thick waist, thin hair, and a small B cup. But I had perfected the art of seduction through dance, and until I had become burned out during my last few years, I usually had at least 2-3 guys waiting for a lap dance through out my entire shift.

So why do women want to do this tawdry tango for their partners in the first place? Why not just buy a new sex toy or slip on a cop's outfit for a little role play? There is something powerful about striptease, and it is also something most men fantasize about. Guys do not stand in the street ogling the traffic cop at 23rd and 5th or wait in line at the downtown sex shop when the latest ball tickler or Jenna Jameson video is released. But they will wait in line, pay a twenty dollar cover charge, spend four times the street value for a beer, and drop hundreds to thousands in a single sitting on an exotic dancer. Why? Honestly, it is different for each guy. Usually, it is either the fantasy of the unattainable, the opportunity to get close to a beautiful woman who will show him her boobs, the chance to have the most stunning girls in the room vying for his attention (a.k.a. money), the possibility that he will be able to touch what shouldn’t be touched, the novelty of being in the “titty bar”, or just a chance to hang with the boys and act like cave men (Beer good. Woman good.). The list goes on and on. For most, it is the equivalent of us ladies snagging a win-a-date with our favorite hunky celeb. We know he won’t really be interested, but just maybe. And if he wants to lean over and plant one…well, we wouldn’t mind! It is a one-night fantasy. But the question to ask is, how do I tap into that fantasy? How do I become her?

Here it is, your two part 21st century guide to striptease. Even though it is not as easy as it looks, it can be learned, and most importantly, it can be mastered! The first part of this guide will cover the exterior appearance of an exotic dancer and the initial set up of your own “main stage.” The second part will cover the actual moves to make your honey drool. First things first, you have to stop thinking about how this is going to please him (Or her for all my lovely lesbians out there. And yes, the same rules apply.), and start thinking about how this is going to benefit you, because in the long run, it will. Think of yourself as the self centered, selfish stripper.

More funny pole dancing commercials

Ok this is just funny...how many of us want to get down on that subway pole?

Yes, we alllll fall down

This could happen to you!

Confidence

Sorry for the delay..I have been sick. And catching up is a bitch!!

Recently a client asked: I would like to know how you got into this- how did you become interested and how did you grow your confidence? You are amazing!

So I thought I would share my reply:

Again, thanks. And I got into dancing as a teenager. I was 18 when I started, and danced waaaay too long. I saw the strip cardio fitness thing explode and felt like women were taking these classes as a means to an end. I felt they really wanted to learn the real moves. I had already retired from dancing and decided to teach it. My confidence in dancing and in teaching came from positive feedback, not only from others but from myself. It was only when I looked in the mirror and told myself that I was hot, sexy, vibrant, that I really felt that way. I alone was the true keeper of my confidence. When I told myself that I was not good enough, ugly, fat, then it was true. We really are in charge. It is up to you to convince yourself and it is always hardest in the beginning. It is still a struggle for me, I won't lie, but it really does lie within... that is why I suggest practicing the predator face in the mirror. Put on your sexiest make-up, hair and outfit and crank the music and rock out to yourself in the mirror. Feels good ! Woo!! And when you hear the voice inside say, gees I look bad, or this isn't right, or i look stupid, tell it to shut the f*ck up! Say to your self, I look amazing, damn I look hot, who wouldn't want this, too bad they can't all look and move like me. I know the first thing is to say is, it feels silly, but keep trying.

xoxo

Real Strippers Don’t Sweat! Striptease classes from StripXpertease teach women how to move like the



StripXpertease teaches women the art of exotic dancing without incorporating the “cardio” aspect into their classes. Instructors believe that true striptease is slow and sensual. Classes help women open them selves up to their sexuality and sensuality without shame.



[ClickPress, Fri Dec 29 2006] Striptease classes are spreading like wildfire, and for good reason. These classes allow women to feel risqué and sexy, just like strippers, but without getting a job at their local strip joint. However, the majority of these classes are fitness based and leave women with a toned rear end, but no idea of how to move it to seduce their lovers. Also, most of these classes are taught by instructors who are completely unfamiliar with striptease as it is performed in upscale gentlemen’s clubs, which is slow and sensual, not sweaty.

To top it off, most instruction institutions are still too afraid of crossing the line and offending someone who might not want to see a woman touch her breast with a twinkle in her eye. StripXpertease, on the other hand, is not scared and is offering classes in the art of true striptease in New Jersey, New York, and Texas, in studios and in their client’s homes.

StripXpertease was created by Kimberly Smith, a former exotic dancer with over 8 yrs of dancing under her belt, who wanted to use her time on the pole to help women feel and look sexy without shame by teaching them how to move just like the pros. She created classes that show women how to dominate and seduce their subject, touch their breasts with reckless abandon, and take back control in the bedroom and in their lives with moves that don’t require fancy equipment like poles, which most women do not even own. StripXpertease teaches moves that real women can duplicate without breaking a sweat, using only a chair and a smile.

The instructors at StripXpertease, who are both former exotic dancers, are using their classes to help women break through the shame behind embracing their sensuality. The company is still denied rental space because of the “type” of classes it teaches and still has clients too afraid to let their family and co-workers know of their recent “education.” Kimberly Smith, owner and NY/NJ instructors says, “Until the world says it's OK for women to be sexual and sensual and appreciate their bodies we will continue to hit that glass ceiling with a resounding thud. Sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of! There is nothing wrong with the classes we teach and the message we share, which is that all women have the right to feel sexy without any shame. Our bodies and our sexuality hold a deep and potent power. A power to change our lives for the better.”

A recent client said after taking a Basic Moves class, “I think there are a lot of women out there that would like to have this talent but are too embarrassed or shy to pursue it. The chance to step out of the mother/homemaker/wife role was great! There are times where I just want to put all of that on the back burner and just be that flirty, sexy predator that you were describing....with nothing else in my focus but making my man squirm. I’m thinking all women are strippers at heart – at least somewhere in their being – and that many of us have been conditioned not to recognize or validate that part of ourselves. We don’t talk about it enough…but I think if we would do that more then all of us would have much more confidence and would have better relationships....knowing that we all felt basically the same way.”

StripXpertease has been operation for over 2 yrs, offering empowering striptease class for women ages 18 to 88. They offer extended classes with many levels to choose from. Each class also includes a cheat sheet. Private lessons for individuals and groups allow class to be limited to just the instructor and student or the instructor and students that all know each other. Each class can be taught in studio or in the student’s home if so desired.

Classes are held in New York City and Austin, Texas. Classes can also be available in New Jersey and other areas of Texas. They cater to bachelorette and birthday parties too.

Funny pole dancing videos

Another funny video....

First pole dance.

Volvic water ad...the first male engineer..sooo true.

I am too nervous too take a striptease class!!

Oh goodness. I hear this all the time.
I am too fat, too old. I can't dance. I have no rhythm. I have 2 left feet. I don't have boobs. I don't have an ass. I can't move. I can't walk in heels. I am not sexy. I have no experience. I don't have a man to dance for. I don't like my body. Who would be attracted to me dancing?
The list goes on and on. But ladies, listen ....are you listening?
IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!! And it's probably not true. We are so hard on ourselves (my self included), and it limits our potential. There is one thing that trumps all of this and it is confidence. It can make or break you.
So come to the class. That is why we offer private lessons so it is just you and the instructor. We aren't going to laugh at you...I promise. And all women make progress in class. You just have to try. Confidence will come, and sexiness will flow.
If there is something you can do to make a change in your life than do it!

More miss and don't miss about the strip club and being a stripper

Things I miss:

FIGHTS!

1.Cat fights, or should I say bitch fights. Man...girls fought hard and often where I worked, well like once every other month. Using shoes and beer bottles, crazzzzy stuff. It always left the room buzzing. I mean, it was horrible, but you couldn't help to get caught up in it and talk about it with every one. I mean some of the girls I worked with had a few screws loose you know, then they would get drunk and mad at each other. Oh, easy entertainment. It is like a car crash, you can't help but look then you tell your friend ..mannnn I saw this really bad wreck!

2.On the same note, chicks flippin' out on customers and fighting with them. I've seen girls straight up punch dudes in the face. Beautiful. Grab my boob, you get warned, do it again, you get knocked the fuck out! I mean some of those guys deserved it.

3. Ok..... I loved watching girls getting so wasted they would start major drama with the managers until it reached the point where they should just stop, but they were so drunk that they couldn't. And then they would get fired. It would be really dramatic with make up smeared and half street clothes half stripper clothes dragging her stuff out the door, as it fell out of her bag ...cussing everyone on the way out. But they would always be back the next day. You see, you never really get fired from a titty bar... I love that. I was never fired by the way.

4.The best was customer fights. Full out bar brawls. Like WWF right up in the club!! The music would stop and the bouncers would come to save the day. I don't know why it was always so exciting, but it was. (I mean they never got too far because of the bouncers.) And I'm not the only one who thought so too. You always felt like you missed out if it went down while you were in the dressing room.

5. And lastly, closing early on a slow night. God bless the early close!


Things I don't miss

1.Smelling like beer and cigarettes.

2.Customers with sticky fingers. I hated when customers stole my outfits. Assholes. What are you going to do, wear it? Actually, I know what you are goign to do...eewww.

3.Guys, who after you dance for a dollar tip on stage for like 15 seconds, say, "Is that it?" Really? A dollar? Is THAT it dude?

4.Guys who wore wind pants....ickkk. Do I need to explain?

5. Girls who steal your makeup. I wanted to get pink eye and leave it all over eyeliner that I never use so that the hoochie who stole it wakes up with crusty eyes.


That reminds me of a story. A girl once asked to borrow my concealer. I said, "Sure!"

She then proceeded to dab my concealer on the pimple on her butt, and then handed it back to me. I was dumbfounded. I just said," Its OK. Keep it." Gross!!!

Why New York Is The Best Place On Earth To Shop!

I just returned from a trip to London and I have to say that New York has the best shopping by far!

I peeked into some local lingerie stores while in town and was not impressed! The best lingerie store I went to was literally steps from where I stayed in Notting Hill, a cute boutique called, Coco Ribbon. Check out their website: www.cocoribbon.com. They sell their own brand as well as Cosabella, Mimi Holiday and Mrs. Chow as well as fun bedroom gifts. They offer a sexy gift idea, a panty delivery service where you receive a varied selection of briefs or thongs 4 times a year in the mail. Other than Coco, shopping lingerie in London really made me appreciate the multitude and diversity that New York offers……undies from France, bathing suits from Italy and all the local boutique offerings…..

So ladies, next time you unroll a stocking onto your leg or adorn yourself with your latest matching bra and panties set, know that we really do live in the city with the best shopping in this world!

We wanna be sexxxxxy

Right?

Yes, we all do...that is why myspace is flooded with 1/2 naked pictures and my classes and others are exploding across the world. We all want to feel attractive, sexy , beautiful. We want to be wanted. We all want people to look and say "Damn." That's is the draw to the business of exotic dancing for so many..not just the money but the constant "damn."

And as much as we women hate when someone random guy on the street goes" hey mommy" or "was up girl" or " damn girl" ...we all secretly love it. And listen ladies, one day, they aren't gonna say it. One day they are going to be helping us across the street. So when some guy goes ..."hey baby " as I walk by on the street I usually roll my eyes, but then I think, thank god.

Will that damn apple haunt us forever?

Will that damn apple haunt us forever? Are we doomed to forever be shameful of our bodies and our sexuality? Are we forever doomed to keep hitting our heads on that glass ceiling? I sure as hell hope not! But something happened last week that definitely left a large goose egg right above my forehead. And I knew right then and there what to write about. NO SHAME! MORE POWER!

There is a lovely studio I rent from in Austin (one of a few). I absolutely love it! Their prices are reasonable, they have double mirrors, the entire building is the studio so there isn't overlapping music or students, and the woman who runs it is sweet as pie. I LOVE it! Unfortunately, she has to move on to bigger and better things in life (I wish her the best!). The story is, this guy is taking over the lease and all the sub-leasees will just rent from him instead of her. She tells him about StripXpertease in an email and I think, all is good. I email him to rent space and he won't return my message, so I contact him again. He finally calls me back and proceeds to tell me that he cannot rent space to me. I felt my heart rate increase. I try to maintain a polite tone as I ask him why. Although I already knew. Sure enough, it is because of what we teach.

I was shocked! Why, why, why, I say. He goes on to say that the "people" he is in business with are in the "public life", and "well we all know how the media can be." He says the "media" might get hold of it and make it scandalous. Scandalous?!?! I said there is no nudity; we aren't having S-E-X in the studio, what is the problem? He was like a broken record. Everything I said, he gave the same response. Public life, media, blah, blah, blah. I said what is the difference between what we do and salsa, tango. Both equally romantic, exotic. But the record played on. He said he understood, it was just his "partners." Yeah, right. I hung up... defeated.

The question I kept asking was what is the media going to say? Don't they support it? Story after story about pole classes at crunch, and striptease in mainstream. Even OPRAH has featured it on FIVE of her shows. The fact is, it isn't the media, it is people. People afraid of their own sexuality. Their own desires. Their own flesh. Afraid of women running around naked in the streets with red lipstick and our boobs bouncing around thrusting the world into total chaos where societies crumble and Howard Stern becomes a demigod.

The truth is, until the world says it's OK for women to be sexual and sensual and appreciate their bodies we will continue to hit that glass ceiling with a resounding thud. I am disappointed, but not surprised that there are still backwoods men and even women closing their doors to the still struggling feminist revolution. Sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of! There is nothing wrong with the classes we teach and the message we share. That all women have the right to feel sexy without shame.

It is shame that causes problems in the bedroom. So shamed we can't open up and look at each other, try new things and relax and feel the joy of intimacy. It is shame that many religions instill when they preach s-e-x only for reproduction. It is shame that parents instill when they talk about s-e-x with wide eyes and furtive glances. It is shame that makes women withdrawn and cold in the bedroom. Why is that we are either whores or virgins. Why can't we explore and express without being chastised?

I could go on and on about how angry I was, how hurt, how disappointed. But it won't change the fact that that jackhole feels the way he feels. But you don't have to. No matter what you believe, or what you stand by, your body is your own and a blessing to have. There is nothing shameful with exploring it and loving it. We are women and our bodies and our sexuality hold a deep and potent power. A power to change our lives for the better. A power to stand up tall and be proud of our curves, our breasts, and our full lips. Imagine how much more fun we would have if we didn't have to hide the fact that we are taking striptease classes. Imagine how much more fun we would have in the bedroom if we weren't afraid...afraid of trying new things, afraid of what he might think, afraid of what our bodies look like, afraid we won't measure up. Imagine how much fun we would have if we used our sexuality a little more to get what we wanted when we wanted it. Imagine how much more fun we would have if we could walk into a "toy" store and but a vibrator or two with out feeling our cheeks flush. Imagine how much fun we could have if we could tell him no, that is not really how I like it. Imagine how much fun we could have if we could wear that really short mini to work without the boss sending us home. Imagine how much fun we would have if we could share these thoughts with our best friends. Ah, imagine.

"We live in a society where s-e-x is somehow shameful and should not be talked about - but we use s-e-x to sell cars. That is backwards. Human sexuality is a blessed gift to be honored and celebrated not twisted and distorted into something demeaning and shameful....Our creator did not give us sensual and sexual sensations that feel so wonderful just to set us up to fail some perverted, sadistic life test. Any concept of god that includes the belief that the flesh and the Spirit cannot be integrated, that we will be punished for honoring our powerful human desires and needs, is - in my belief - a sadly twisted, distorted, and false concept that is reversed to the Truth of a Loving God-Force." -Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Soul

One more note on shoes and feet...

There is one thing that drives me crazy ...when girls don't point their toes. ALWAYS POINT YOUR TOES!!!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS!!!!!!!!


If you aren't putting weight into the foot then the toes should be pointed ..even when you are standing and especially when you are doing floor moves . Even in boots. The act of pointing will engage the muscles in your leg and instantly give you better lines...so please point.

If your foot starts to cramp..and it will, just realize the more you point the more that little foot muscle gets used to it.


Try flexing and pointing 50 times on each foot.

Then your shoes might start to stretch out. Just by those Payless SS pads I talked about.

Good luck!

More about stripper heels...mastering the shoe.

Okay, so you don't wanna wear the stripper heels because you never wear them....or they hurt, or they are too high...well it IS a learned thing.
So wear them in 20 minute increments until you start to feel comfortable, then in 40 minute increments. Keep this up until you can wear them for an hour and not fall. Wear them while you do household chores or while cooking. Your partner will be pleased, that is for sure! Then try squatting and moving around....movements beside just walking. Once you can wear them and not fall, try walking faster and faster until you can do a light jog in them...just from one end of the house to the other. Then you will have mastered the shoes!

YAY!

Meet my girls at StripXpertease!

So there are two lovely ladies at StripXpertease who will be contributing to this blog as well; Monica, our fashion expert and Saralynn, our Texas instructor (her above). I'm looking forward to seeing their posts!

Happy New Yr!!!

Hello all,
Well, what a year huh? Don't we always say that though? I am extremely pleased with the year that StripXpertease has had. A lot of growth and there will be more for the new year including public classes. YAY!
I know that we always look towards the new year with things we want to do to improve ourselves. I can't say I am any different. I have a few resolutions myself. I think the key is to realize that is is okay to have moments of relapse into old habits and backwards ways. It only reminds us how badly we want to change. Momentary relapses make us stronger. So I expect to falter a bit, but to have checked off a lot of my life's to-do list by this time next yr. I started making a list of things I want to do ...changes I want to implement by the beginning of the next year. Then I tuck it away and pull it out same time next yr and see how many I can cross off. Pretty fantastic to cross off one after the other. Especially when you realize how impossible they seemed as you wrote them.
So here is wishing a blessed and fulfilling new yr to all!
