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

Ok, so I wanted to post old versions of our newsletters for those of you just subscribed and missed old issues.
Enjoy!!!
We will start with old ones first.

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.
(Please see Kimberly’s blog: RAZOR BUMPS ..follow up, March 4, 2007, for product pictures and online ordering)

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 ;)

Striptease workout : Stripper Strength

Stripper Strength is a our striptease work-out class!!!

The class is an hour long and uses real stripper moves to tone and strengthen the body. The class flows slowly much like a yoga class, and less like a cardio class. Then we use the moves you learn through out to put together a hot and sensual routine at the end of the class. You will need comfy work-out wear, and heels(bare feet or tennis shoes work as well). The class will be held every Tuesday from 6-7 PM, Wednesday 12:30-1:30 & 9-10PM, and every Sunday from 2-3 PM at Empire Studios located at 127 W. 25th St, 11th Floor (Btwn 6th & 7th Ave). The class will be open to the public, but will be conducted in a private room that does not allow for ANY spectators. The class is open to women only, 18 and up and will taught by Kimberly from StripXpertease. To pay for classes contact Empire Studios @ (212) 645-2441 or just drop in! You can also take a completely private Stripper Strength class, just you and the instructor.

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!

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.
