Expose Yourself! ~ Using Online Photos To Increase Tips For Exotic Male Dancers
(In pic above: Jay Roth Photo by Michael Bernal)
In advertising and promotion, words or copy are used to promote the product or service. There will be a catch phrase, or advertising hook that will catch your attention and then descriptions of how that product or service will improve or enhance your life. Add a music jingle that gets stuck in your head and you sing it throughout the day and the advertisers have done their job at introducing the product or service. But for maximum impact, you need visual stimulation. That is why many music artists spend so much money on their music videos. That is why so much money is spent in fashion photography. That is why the Super Bowl commercials are always so fun and/or outrageous. ( Photo by Damon Frazier)
The same principles apply to promoting the exotic male dancer. The fact that almost every party goer owns a smart phone, or at the very minimum, a phone that can take and send pics, creates a free promotional tool that you can use to your advantage. First, dress to encourage picture taking. My motto, "Show some skin and they will come in." Wear something that is sexy, puts the junk on display, and gets attention. Encourage fans to take pics. Ask them to take a picture of you standing with one or more of their friends. Then let them know your facebook dancer page (separate from your 'my family' page). Ask them to tag you in the pic. This will let all your friends and all their friends see the pics and give you free promotion. That pic will most often be posted and tagged as soon as it has been taken. ( Photo by Ken Brown)
Make sure you always have good quality pics of you dancing to post online or use in advertising. Have a friend who is a good photographer take pics of you while dancing. They do not have to be a professional, just someone who can take decent pics with their phone or camera. Also, once again, be sure you wear something very sexy. Use only the best of the final pics, and by best I mean, most revealing, sensual photos in the group. If you aren't sure which ones to use, ask a fan, friends, etc., to help you pick out a few. I like to see photos of dancers who are dancing, not posing. If you are doing a photoshoot then a set of studio type pics are alright for a profile pic, or other promotional situations. But for me, I like to see a dancer in motion...'males in motion' if you will. You can view a few of the pics I have done in different situations on my facebook photography page. **CLICK HERE**. ( Photo by Michael Hill)
If you are a dancer and would like promotional photos while dancing (no charge), let me know and when I visit your area, I will contact you. I also provide studio sessions for only $75. I have a mobile studio that I bring with me whenever I travel for this purpose. The studio session includes up to 5 costumes changes, maximum two hour session, and a minimum of 20 possible poses to use for promotional purposes. The reason for the low fee of only $75 is I also request the use of one or more pics for Males In Motion projects. Your name appears with every use. You get free promotion on my website and/or blogs as per our final agreement, and I get good quality photos of hot male dancers for use in my promotions. It's a win, win situation for both! Email me today for more details!( Photo by Michael Hill Location: Mojo's ~ Tulsa, OK)
I recommend these photographers in the following areas. Click their name to go to their facebook pages.

Chicago, IL ~ Ken Brown
Dallas, TX ~ Damon Frazier
Until next time, I'll look for you on facebook and then tip in the club!

Last Minute Costume Ideas For Exotic Male Dancers
| Costumes for exotic male dancers are in demand for Halloween events and at other times of the year. In an effort to assist the boyz, I have pulled a few pics from my archives for inspiration. Look at the pics and see what others have worn in the past and find a place to start for your next costume. Then take your idea from there and make it your own. I tend to stick with classics because they work for me. However, if your crowd will respond to other ideas, that's the direction you should go. The costume ideas I've posted in this blog include items that are easy to find at discount stores, hardware stores, costume shops, etc.+ The fireman (above) is a favorite exotic male dancer icon to many fans. In previous blogs I have written about the obvious sexual innuendos of the fireman with his big hose. In this pic, these hot guys have put together a fun costume rather inexpensively. The toy hats can be found at costume shops. They've marked out the emblems on the front. You can do the same or create your own fire department emblem. Click here to find the yellow rain coat pants. Search online for a pair of red suspenders. Add a pair of black boots and you are ready to go. And don't forget to wear something excitingly sexy underneath...or, wear nothing at all. |
Chippendale Dancer |
The island boy, cabana boy, or luau party idea at right is sexy and easy. The pretty boy in the pic is wearing a puka shell necklace. You could also wear a fake, or real lei garland necklace. A flower print towel or piece of fabric can serve as the skirt portion of the costume. Wear a pair of sandals or flip-flops to complete the look. A possible accessory could include a hollowed out coconut with a straw to serve as your beverage container. What you wear or don't wear underneath is all up to you! |
Construction Worker #1: A simple and inexpensive costume, yet sexy with the right body type is the rugged construction worker. A pair of painter overalls, a hard hat, gloves and boots can create the image of the man's man who works with his hands. I mean think about it, don't you like a man who is good with his hands? |
|
Construction Worker #2: This version of the construction worker will work well for all body types. A sleeveless, or unbuttoned shirt, a pair of cut off blue jeans, gloves, and boots all create the look of a hard working man who likes to play when off the clock. Punch your time card and head to the club. |
This costume is simple, and there is very little to it. If you have a body that needs to be displayed for all to see, then this is a perfect choice for you. The costume has three major parts, a turban on the head, a vest, and a pair of bikini briefs. I suggest you do not wear shoes unless you can find costume shoes that will enhance the look. Since the Genni represents granting wishes, I recommend a pair of metallic bikini briefs that suggest gold, silver, copper, or wealth of some type. For the turban, do a google search for 'tying a turban'. Purchase a piece of cloth large enough to be tied on your head. Find cloth that has a metallic sheen, or metallic look embroidery in it, etc. The vest in the pic is made of chains. If you are creative and can create your own, you can find inexpensive chain in craft stores. However, search a costume store, flea market, etc., for a vest that will fit. If it is plain, paint it with metallic cloth paint which can be found at craft stores. Add a couple of inexpensive gold bracelets, rings, etc., for a richer look. With a costume like this, you'll have your choice of which wishes you want to grant for the night. |
|
This Genni costume is not so easy to put together but I thought it was so damn sexy that I wanted to show the pic anyway. This may be a choice for a future event. This might require a good tailor or seamstress. When the event allows the "boys" to be put on display, this costume will be a definite hit at the party. |
If you or a friend enjoy the leather lifestyle, leather can be a sexy and quick option. A costume like the one shown at left suggest a fun night is ahead with the possibility of a little danger thrown in. It is not an inexpensive option, however, but as suggested, if you can borrow the pieces from a friend for the night, leather is a good option for any costume event. |
Ok, look at the pic at left. This guy is wearing a simple pair of overalls. He looks sexy as hell. Of course, he has a super hot body and that helps. But think about the fun you can have hooking and unhooking the shoulder straps of the overalls and revealing enough to keep the night interesting. For the full effect, add a straw hat, and of course, you have to go barefooted. Who wouldn't want to have a 'roll-in-the-hay with you? |
Regular readers of my blogs already know that the cowboy image is definitely one of my favorites. For this look, as long as you have the cowboy hat, you can go in many different directions. I suggest you borrow the hat from a friend, rent it from a costume shop, or purchase an inexpensive straw cowboy hat. Authentic felt cowboy hats can be very expensive. If you have a source for western wear, there are chaps, gloves, boots, vests, bandanas, and more that can be added. However, if your budget is more like mine, I suggest going minimal. Add a pair of bikini briefs in a bright color and a matching bandana scarf around the neck. If you own or can borrow a pair of cowboy boots, that is enough for a hot cowboy and any male stripper fan will appreciate the minimal clothing look. Climb in the saddle and have a fun night! I hope these suggestions will inspire you to create something memorable even if it is a last minute idea. Sometimes the ideas created under the crunch turn out to be the best. Have a great Halloween or special event! Until next time, tip the boyz a little extra who have stepped up and are wearing those sexy, creative costumes! |

Naturally Sexy ~ Ethan ~ Exotic Male Dancer
Chicago
|
| |
Some guys just have 'it'! And Ethan is one of those guys. No matter what he puts on, or takes off, he's going to look good doing it. Sure, he works out, watches what he eats, but it's much more than that. He's sexy and it just naturally comes across in the way he talks, the way he smiles, the way he walks, and definitely in the way he dances. This Northern boy currently lives in Chicago. But he first learned how to turn up the heat on those cold winter nights in Columbus, OH. | |

| Uhmmmmm....

Keep an eye on Ethan's facebook page for locations where he will be dancing. He can often be found at the Lucky Horseshoe Lounge in Chicago. We've also followed tagged facebook photos from The Office Niteclub In Rockford, IL and Club Krave in Blue Island, IL. "Excuse me sir, do you have a license to be packing that?" | |

Ten Tips For Success For All Exotic Male Dancers
I EXIST
Greet me when I come into the bar, club or venue where you are performing. If you make an effort to come to my seat, I will always tip. If I don't tip you right then and there, I WILL step up to the stage, etc., when you are dancing and tip you. I have been greeted before I walked through the door before, once in Providence, RI and the other time in Nashville, TN. I tipped both dancers immediately when they hit the stage, and let them know that was the reason I was tipping. Realize that I have arrived at this establishment to see some hot men in little or no clothing, enjoy a drink and relax. If you (the male dancer) gives me a little attention, it will contribute to my having a fun and possibly memorable night. If you contribute to the success of my night, I will contribute to your financial success by increasing my tips. (Photo: Michael Hill)
2. DRESS OR UNDRESS SEXY
Wear something exciting. You want to visually catch my attention. Let's be clear here...I like to see dick! That of course is no problem in an all-nude club, but for the clubs where nudity is not a featured attraction, there are a few things you can do. If you wear something that outlines your privates, I will be watching. If those privates are allowed to move a little, I will be watching. If you become aroused and I see a bulge in your pants, I definitely will be watching. If you have not been so blessed up front, then wear something that shows off that ass. If you slide the waistband of your briefs down and give me a glimpse of the bubble, then I will be watching. "Show some skin and they will come in."
I tipped a dancer at Swinging Richards in Atlanta simply because he kept looking straight at me, making eye contact, and smiling. Well, he was pretty damn cute too. But the eye contact made me get up out of my chair and walk up to the stage and place a few $1 in his armband. I knew he didn't think I was special and it wasn't a "I want you look". The dancer acknowledged that I was there and existed. Was he working me for tips? Sure he was. Do I care? No, he made the effort to notice I was there. I made the effort to tip and enjoy. (Photo: Michael Bernal -FWord - NYC)
4. SAY THANK YOU
If I tip a male dancer and he says thank you, then I will return to tip him again during his next session. If he says nothing, then unless he stops by my seat after his session and says thank you, then I am through with him for the night. Saying thank you is easy and free. Acknowledge that I exist and that I am making a contribution to your financial success. If a dancer says thank you, and then comes by my table after his session to thank me again, I will tip again right then. Now I know that not all male dancers are comfortable with this, but if you are the type that gives a hug and a kiss on the cheek, well, I will be back....just sayin'. What else can I say, I like attention from hot half-naked or naked men. It works on me.Photo: Males In Motion archive
5. CREATE A DRAMA FREE ZONE When an exotic male dancer arrives to work, he must leave all drama outside the door. I'm there for my fantasies, my escape, my pleasure, my stress release...not yours. I don't want to hear you complaining to the other dancers, other fans who may be friends, and least of all, do I want you complaining to me. If you bring your drama in the room, it is going to bring down my experience. If this happens, I will avoid you like the plague. The last thing I need is more drama when I am trying to relax. All I can say is that I will maintain a drama free zone around myself. If that means I must avoid you, I will. And there goes any potential for tip money.
6. AVOID EXCESS Get drunk and/or high on your own time. If you choose to participate in alcohol or drug abuse, hey, that's your business. But when you do it on my time at the club, then I will leave you alone. I have stated before that I have visited clubs where a dancer was tweaked out and visiting another planet. If I can't interact with you, then I will leave you alone. However, there are others, let's just call them predators, who will welcome an opportunity to find you in that state. If you choose to use and abuse in an unguarded, unsafe environment, then don't be surprised where you wind up. Be careful please.
7. REMOVE YOUR TIARA Although a tiara would most often be associated with a countess, woman of means, or a drag queen, in this case we ask you to remove the little crown from your "large head" and come back down to earth. If a dancer has a prima donna attitude, unless he is drop-dead gorgeous with an Adonis body, and lies down naked on a bed and tells me, "go for it...enjoy", then I'm going to find another dancer who lives on this plane. You see I can be shallow too, and can enjoy your beautiful body without having to interact with you on a mental or emotional level, if you have given your permission. Hey, I'm a gay male...it's in my physical makeup. But of course, we both know if you are pushing attitude then you're not going to make yourself available as described above. And I also find it so much sexier and enjoyable if the other party is a willing and active participant in such activity. Confidence in your look, abilities, the way you carry yourself, your goals, etc., that is great and a positive virtue. But your good looks will fade so while you can, build something positive behind those looks that will carry you later in life.
8. PLEASE DON'T OVERWORK ME When an exotic male dancer is working the room, I like to be worked. As I stated above, I like the attention. But please don't overwork me. If I tell you I don't want a lap dance, or am not ready to go into the VIP Lounge, then take it at face value. Ask me one time and that is enough. If I want you to come back by, then I will say drop by later and we'll do it. I remember another dancer at Swinging Richards who was smart about this. He had asked about a lap dance or a trip to the VIP room but I wasn't interested. I had already picked a different dancer that I wanted for those activities. This dancer came back around later in the night and began giving me a neck, shoulder and upper back rub. Think about it...a hot male dancer wearing very little clothing was rubbing on my neck...good. He was skillfully removing the tension from my neck and shoulders....very good. I began tipping him in return...good. It was a win-win situation. He didn't overwork me but gave me something of value in exchange. ( I wish he was here right now. I could use another neck and shoulder rub.)
You look great in your underwear and I am enjoying it. Let's take it to the next level. Try a cowboy look, military look, athlete look, leather look, etc., and capture my fantasies. It is no secret that I love cowboys. So, if you are wearing a cowboy hat and boots, then I am putty. If you follow steps 1-8 and then are dressed like a cowboy, it is almost certain that you will receive all the cash in my pocket that I have set aside for the night. It just works for me. There are other fans who feel the same about leather, military men, athletes, etc. Push their buttons and more tips will come your way. Also, if I am celebrating a special event in my life, look for the signs and join in. Come by and tell me congratulations. You might even offer a free lap dance to honor my night. Don't worry, I will still tip but the offer will make a difference in my experience of the night. (Photo: Ethan - Columbus, OH)
Notice that I am recommending you learn to dance as the last tip. The reason it is last is because I have watched exotic male dancers make lots of money in tips when all they have done is shuffle around the floor a little. You will never describe what they do as actual dancing. They receive the extra in tips because they interact well with the crowd, look exceptionally hot, or have become a crowd favorite....or dozens of other reasons. So, honestly it isn't always a requirement to be a good dancer. However, if you can follow tips 1-9 and you are a skillful exotic dancer, then you have the potential for a long career in the field. If you know your dancing ability needs a little work, I recommend that you seek out male dancers who can dance and copy their techniques. When traveling out of town, allow yourself some time to stop in at a club with male dancers and watch what they are doing, and try it out yourself. (Photo: Pan Dulce - San Diego, CA)
I hope these tips will contribute to your financial success. Until next time, 'show some skin and they will come in.'
