Rhode Island Dolls Dancers: Ramp Up Your Costume Game With These Tips
Being a dance at RI Dolls is like getting to play dress up every day. You can be a whip wielding Dominatrix one day and a sweet cheerleader the next. You get to play at being different characters and have fun. Act out a fantasy. Play at a career persona. Being someone new all the time makes your job fun and creatives.
But how can you find great costumes and accessories that don’t break the bank. You can’t exactly look up the Erotic Dancer category on Amazon! You need to get creative to find those gems so that your performance is unique and it stands out from those of the other girls. And being unique is just one of the ways that you can become everyone’s favorite erotic dancer!
Start with holiday theme stores. Some stores are only open seasonally – around the holidays that they are focused on. They specialize in themed items. Sometimes you can find some great accessories that you can bring on the stage. Christmas stores are good for angel themed items, candy canes, and similar Christmas items. You might find decals or body glitter or jewelry that can turn a Christmas themed persona into a real treat. And around Halloween you will find many themed shops filled with costumes. Many of these are designed with sexy in mind. You might have to make a few modifications to make them easier to remove but you’ll have so much fun. When you find a Halloween theme shop with great prices stock up for the rest of the year!
Another great place to find costume and accessories is thrift shops. Thrift shops are filled with all sorts of fun stuff. You can find old uniforms and hats and feather boas at a fraction of the price that you might pay for them in a costume store. It takes a bit of work and time but you can find some real gems at thrift shops. Think creatively. Look at articles of clothing and ask yourself what you could do to it to make it part of an outfit. You can find cool retro clothes that can turn you into flash dance girl, a punk rocker, a dominatrix and other fun personalities.
Estate sales can be fun, too. It is amazing what people keep in storage. Sometimes you can find all sorts of goodies. People have been known to keep old war uniforms, nurse’s outfits, and other neat things that you can adapt.
Novelty stores often have some cool items, too. Many of the items you find at novelty stores are suited to the closest holiday. Find a green hat for St. Patrick’s Day, a Santa hat for Christmas, bunny ears for Easter, and more crazy items. Don’t be afraid to find things that you can use on the stage at novelty stores. These items are usually low priced and very affordable so if you only use them for a week it isn’t a big investment.
What if you find cool stuff though and it doesn’t fit? Well, if you find it at a good price and the material is a decent quality you can take it to a seamstress and have it altered. Get it altered so that it is sexy and it fits you properly. When you add in the cost of a seamstress it might seem like you’re paying a lot of money but if you get a good price on the items that you find at thrift shops and estate sales you can afford to pay the extra for the seamstress.
Costumes and accessories are a part of a dancer’s appeal. Don’t show up in the lingerie you slept in and expect that you’re going to make great tips. The costumes and accessories that you spend money on are an expense and part of your job. When you invest in these things, customers will get into the fantasy and will come back to find you again. You can shake it and dance on the stage all you want but if you don’t put a little bit extra into your performance you’re not likely going to be anyone’s favorite. Return customers are where the rewards are so build up your fan base by creating fantasies with great costumes and accessories.
