A recent Lianhe Wanbao story (14 Nov), highlighted by insing.com, says strippers for parties in Singapore are in demand. Even parents are hiring strippers to celebrate their child's 21st birthday!
One supplier of strippers, a Ms Crystal, Marketing Head of Urs Truly Escorting Agency, told Wanbao that her company is seeing more strippers being hired for 21st birthday parties, as well as stag and hen parties. Each act costs $1,000 to $1,500, and the "action" usually takes place in customers' homes, hotel rooms, or beach resorts.
One female customer said she hired a male stripper because having a naked male dancing in a room full of women "livens up the atmosphere" [ya, I guess the women were all scrambling to get into pole position!].
But [even though every Tom, Dick or Harry seems to strip for a living these days] the local strippers still tend to keep their job a secret from their families.
Bryan, 31, a local part-time male stripper, has been strutting his stuff for the past eight years, but he's still keeping his day job as an administrative assistant.
[Now, here's the interesting bit...] He offered some insights on his job:
* His act lasts 20 minutes and for $300, he'll strip to his underwear. It will cost $400 or more for him to go all the way, ie stark naked [and what will he do for "even more"?].
* His customers are mostly white collar workers in their 20s, including homosexuals.
* He also takes special requests like wearing a policeman's or doctor's uniform, or turning up as a flower delivery boy ["I am the flower boy!"] or hotel staff member.
* One time, when he was performing in a hotel, the women screamed so loudly that guests from other rooms complained.
* Bryan says is "very professional" with his act -- he makes sure he does not get an erection while he is performing. Which, I guess, disqualifies the guy in the picture below from aspiring to be a stripper:
