Baby Dolls, Fort Worth (469 views)

1/10.

Fort Worth allows smoking indoors still, and the air filter system in this club is p. much nonexistent. The walls are covered in grime, and guys are trained to expect the world for free. Most of the girls dancing here are new, with the "oldest" strippers among them being about 3 years old. It's newbies teaching newbies, and most of them are locals, so they're pretty much living in a stripper bubble and think guys mauling/biting/sucking/licking/etc. them for free on the main floor is normal. Only five chairs in the club that are fit for lapdances, unless you want to try and get by giving air dances (good luck) so there's often a line of girls and customers waiting for the chairs to free up. Meanwhile, the customers currently occupying the chairs will get a dance, decide they don't like the next song, so will "wait until the next one" while they pinch and pull and squeeze the dancer in their lap (again, for free)... and so on. Selling lapdances here is *hard.* They're also only $10/pop. Meanwhile, girls are giggling in the dressing room about how many "suckers" or "biters" or whatehaveyou are in the club tonight, like that's anywhere near acceptable and "just a fact of life at the club." (Again, just to make sure this is clear -- these guys are getting this high level of contact for *free*. No dance, no tip, nothing. Literally pulling girls into their laps as the girls walk by and just going to town on them, offering nothing in return.)

The most iconic memory of I have of this place that sums up the experience pretty well is a girl proudly pulling a double and walking with $60. And being happy to make that much money.

Making *that* little wasn't normal, even at that club, but leaving with $100 was definitely a good shift. If you work hard at it, you can probably expect to leave with about that, but don't get discouraged if you leave with less -- it's not you, it's the club.

No VIP. Everything goes on on the main floor. If you're tall (closer to/over 6' in your heels) you can probably comfortably give a lap dance in one of the tall chairs that line the walls. Otherwise, you're stuck waiting in line or trying to convince a guy to pay you for an air dance. House fees operate in increments of $7, going up every hour. The fee to leave early works the same way, but it goes up for every half an hour you want to trim off your shift.

All of that said, it's really easy to get hired there. Just lift your shirt to show your stomach and as long as you don't have extreme stretch marks or scars, you're good to go. If you're just passing by, or are having trouble getting hired at the nicer clubs, this one is a good safety net. They hire just about anyone, and while there's not a lot of money, there is something.
