Where is the best place to see the most fun, and sluttiest costumes? A strip club of course! With the perks of seductive and sultry entertainment of the many creative ways, it would be taken off. 

Some would say Halloween exists all year round in a strip club. Dancers accentuate playing their alter ego as a character and answer to a stage name on a daily. Dancers religiously wear costumes, apply heavy makeup, wear hair wigs, nail extensions, and lengthy lashes. The elevated clear heels that we wear for work is acceptable to be worn in public on this day; if one dares too. I know those heels are not made to be worn on pavement or gravel especially amateurs wearers.

French maids, nurses, kittens, latex dominatrix, bunnies, Mrs.Claus, elves, and other Christmas entities are a few costumes that can be found in a strip club other than Halloween night. 

I have played a nurse throughout the year. My costume, a button-up white lab coat paired with a clipboard, stethoscope, & a pen that looks like a bloody filled syringe. Older gentlemen love this. I would often head toward the silver foxes and blue-hairs to check their blood pressure as a fun way to approach them & quickly break the ice. I would also be sought out after a bachelor who just has been emasculated on stage and who may have just been whipped in celebration. I would be the nurse to help soothe their wounds.

I have also been a French maid, equipped with white gloves, sexy lined stocking, apron, and fluffy feather duster. I must say I was not sought out as much as the tending nurse. I observed the same result when I was dressed as a prisoner, in my striped outfit carrying around a ball & chain. People were less interested in getting dances from a convict. Who would’ve thunk!

Halloween night is an evening where all the girls get involved and the costumes are more creative than the norm. Anything goes on this evening. A Halloween costume contest is usually held as an incentive to dress up. There are always 1 or 2 girls that don’t want to comply & less into the Halloween spirit. These girls seem to not want to put in any extra effort & do not want to part-take in dressing up in a Halloween costume. Some girls take this opportunity to walk around in skimpier outfits than normally allowed as the club rules. Eventually feeling indifferent will have them seeking out last-minute costumes from other dancers. There are always extra ears and tail hanging around for last-minute thought costumes of cats, puppies, or devils.

Some clubs hold a themed Halloween party. One year, the club may look like a hospital filled with sexy nurses, another year, it may look like a police station filled with hot policewomen, or life-size dollhouse filled with barbies & dolls, a heavenly room filled with angels, or reddish hell filled with deviant devils and sultry vampires. 

I have played them all. 

The key on this evening is to find costumes that you can easily get off and on during your performance. A lot of the Halloween costumes out there are not made to be easily taken on & off. Skintight, skimpy, and sexy costumes are acceptable to wear for civilians on this holiday, however not made to be easily removed. 

Working one of my first Halloween night, 20 years ago, as an amateur, I thought it would be a great idea to wear large white angel wings made with real feathers. I quickly learned it was not a good idea. The wings were so large that I couldn’t dance or walk by anybody without hitting people with my wings. By the end of the night, I looked more like a fallen angel with tattered & broken wings. It’s a funny thing to see new amateurs make the same common mistakes in which they quickly learn as I did. 

One of my favorite costumes was a UPS delivery person. The recognizable brown color, although a skimpy 2 piece, booty shorts with a matching front tied top carrying around a cardboard box I used to collect my money. It must have been a relatable concept for the men for I did very well this evening and my costume was very comfortable.

I also observed that men prefer cute, sexy costumes and less of the gory types. Men already don’t like heavy body makeup, glitter, and fragrances on regular evenings. Too much of these things and it may rub off on them leaving evidence and traces for their wives. I have seen men turn down dances due to these very reasons. 

Some girls love Halloween and lives just for this night. These girls go all out on this day. This may be their favorite evening to toil with the men. “What? You don’t like seeing a naked girl with a deep bloody sliced neck?” Some of the special effects look so realistic, it’s enough to spook the men. These men are terrified of the painted pale complexion, runny blood, the shades of the black and blue bruises place all over her body. A different kind of energy can be evoked through the role we play with this evening. This would be the “Trick.”

On Halloween night, we would get guests coming in from other local Halloween parties and they too are dressed up and get themselves involve in the costume contest. One time, I received a carved jack-o-lantern from a customer in the club. On it was a carving of the exact replication of my tattoo. Creepy? I thought so. Especially when he told me the number of hours he spent on it. What’s Halloween without a little creepiness. It was impressive but questionable.

I came close to winning the Halloween contest; the year I was a “Hawaiian dashboard hula girl” adorn with leis, a grass skirt, and complete with coconut shell bra top. I was runner up to a sexy Ghostbuster! 

I must say Halloween night is not usually a busy evening at the strip club unless it lands on a weekend. Even still, anybody who is a parent knows that this holiday is best spent with their kids, especially for those single mom who are dancers. 

Halloween is an evening where you can further transform into whatever you want to portray. This could be a time to fill a customer request for his fantasy. I did this once, where I was requested to be a Gypsy belly dancer, where he had brought in the costume for me to wear! For this, he “treated” me very well. 

We will still strip our costume off on stage leaving us to our vulnerabilities, stark nakedness with just our makeup and shoes. “Trick or Treat” has a different meaning here, where “Tricks” happens on stage and the “Treat” comes in the form of currency. 

I suppose whoever is left still dancing during this pandemic, a mask will be the common theme. I would just wear my hazmat suit and call in a day.
