Bridal Shower

The Bridal shower is an intrical part of American society. Nearly every wedding is outfitted with one of these shindigs to help the newlyweds prepair for the ultimate pairing. Friends and family gather in harmony and plan this festive occasion but to some extent the bridal shower must have entertainment. On this note, we dive into the world of bridal shower entertainment options and into the lives of the entertainers themselves.
Steve Savage, a former stripper himself, gets about six applications from would-be male strippers per month. He looks for a toned body and good dance moves, first and foremost, but will help recruits with choreography and costumes. They usually start off doing a bridal shower which is a lot easier to learn. They usually find us at www.savagemen.com. If they pass the basics, Tracy "throws them to the lions" at one of the city's Savage Ladies Nights. "The money's pretty good, [$175 for club gigs and $200 for private parties] but 15 minutes is a long time to be dancing with your dangler out in front of a crowd of women," says Tracy. Seventy-five percent can't hack it, so The Savage Men Cover Model Male Revue is always hiring. One guy went to a bridal shower and froze up! I had to go run and do it laughs Steve Savage. It’s not as easy as some people might think. They go to www.malereviews.com and say I have a great body but don’t realize they have to be able to move.
These guys are a rare breed and don't seem nervous. "You just have to do what the girls like and what touches your heart," says Tracy. Other strippers I've met admit it can be nerve-racking going in front of 100 women chanting 'Penis! Then, when the clothes come off, the women might giggle and point. The men say standing at attention in such an environment can be a challenge. Which is why you have to be a five star dancer good looking, great body, be able to move and most of all have a great personality. Because when your on stage you can fake it a bit but at a bridal shower it basically one on one. If the ladies are a bit shy you have to be able to maneuver your show to that particular crowd. If I get great feed back from my clients on the bridal shower I tend to promote my guys that much quicker. The better you get at a bridal shower the easier it is to dance on stage at the Savage Men show.
'I was a geek'
"Nakedness creates a whole different atmosphere and it takes a lot to impress girls," said Louie via cell phone, en route to a tour of duty in the Interior. "They often grope you like crazy. I feel like a piece of meat, but its part of the job." Louie is one of Savage Men most requested men and, in the busy summer season, he can work up to five gigs a night, including bridal showers and club events. He got into The Savage Men I found these guys online at www.savagemen.com after dropping out of the University of Victoria's engineering program. "You tend to do anything when you're broke. Of course you have to invest. I spend a lot of money on costumes, props, promotions. I work out every day."I was doing a bridal shower for friends I knew here and there but not enough to survive.
Male strippers also have to maintain professionalism in the face of drunk, horny women. "Propositions happen a lot, almost every day," in Louie’s World its just something you get use to. "I just smile and laugh and try to keep it professional. Most girls find me at www.male-reviews.com and find that I work at the Savage Men a lot of ladies are regulars but a lot come to see me to ask me personally if I could do a bridal shower for them or their friend. Sometimes it's the bride-to-be but most cases it's an invited guest, sometimes the mother-in-law. I'm not a cocky person. I was a geek in school so positive comments are a shock. It does nothing to my ego."
Twenty five-year-old Ryan, another top-requested stripper and part-time actor who does "Vegas-style" bridal shower shows and even lights himself on fire, said, "I got a lot of propositions for sex and whatnot in my younger days and I fell for that. But now I'm married and recognize the look in their eyes. Girls are worse than men, more piggish. They think they can grab you and get anything from you. I just think, 'I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot poll.' But it's kind of flattering."I use to do a lot more of the bridal shower thing but now I mostly stick to doing the shows with Savage Men. I love the roar of three hundred girls at the Show Boat Casino I feel like a Rock Star. When I was doing the bridal shower thing it just go a wee bit personal for me. Plus my girl can watch every move I make at the shows where at the bridal shower events they are very private. We almost broke up many times because I chose to do a bridal shower over the show at Savage Men. I get paid to stay in great shape, tan and get complimented by the ladies. Not exactly the worse job you can have in the world Ryan laughs.
Bidal showers in general have had lots of entertainment options from clowns to strippers but for that real long lasting rememberence of this festive even I think the bridal shower male stripper idea is by far the most memorable.
