NEWSLETTER: October 08

October 2008
Hello ladies,I recently read an article that mentioned a link to increasing mental health issues due to the economic stresses of our ever down-sliding economy. My first reaction was, "No s#*t." Of course we are all a little more stressed. And although we are not all going to lose our marbles, this uneasiness is definitely touching everyone. So what do we do? Well, first, we all breathe. One collective in through the nose, out through the mouth. Next we remind ourselves that things could be worse. And then we start taking care of our bodies and minds. It is a fact that stress and poor emotional health can weaken our body's immune system.I too am feeling these stresses and have been trying like crazy to get myself back to yoga. Now is the time to really take care of ourselves. Our bodies are our temples and ladies, if we are unhealthy and sick then we surely can't take care of our families and our loved ones. Sick does not equal sexy! So now more than ever is the time to do something for yourself. Our punch card classes are priced at $20 per drop in class, and until the end of October your first Sexy Steps or Kama Sutra Kardio class is free. In these classes you'll hear great music (stress-buster), meet new gal-pals (stress-buster), definitely have a few laughs (stress-buster), move your body (yep, stress-buster!) and get to wear those crazy stripper shoes (See the article below for reasons to buy.) You can't beat that! Stress free AND easy on the budget. So whether it is with us, your local gym, or simply foot to pavement, get out there and get moving. Take care of yourself and don't forget to just breathe. :)

Stripper Heels Can Go With ANY Costume.
Seriously, they can. Wicked witch, stripper heels. Little Bo Peep, stripper heels. French maid, stripper heels. Pirate, stripper boots. Nurse, red stripper heels...you get the picture. So this is the perfect time to go for it. You now have a REAL reason to make that risque purchase. So get your stripper heels and then build your costume around it.Halloween is the one time of the year that everyone can access their inner stripper, with no shame, timidness, or shyness. So I double-dog dare you to put on that sexy outfit and strut your stuff. And there is an outfit for everyone, and every body related excuse.Find showing off your legs a bit too spooky? Then try Dark Angel. Fishnets can cover up every imperfection, and knee high boots can keep you warm too. Corsets are also great at cinching in your waist after too much candy corn. Want to wear something sexy, but feel like your bootie is a bit ghoulish? Then try this sexy Mafia Mamma costume. This is a great one for breaking the sexy barrier, but not going overboard. Speaking of overboard, a pirate costume like Buccaneer Fantasy is great for going sexy and only revealing a bit of skin on your shoulders and legs. Adding tights and boyshorts will give even more coverage.If fact, there are a ton of hot costumes that let you reveal your sexy side with just a bit of skin. Check these out:Marine OfficerSpiderellaZorro (You can even hide your true identity with this one!)So there you go, plenty of ideas. Let this Halloween be your first step in becoming a little bolder, braver, and more confident. And when you feel sexy, trust me ladies, you will LOOK sexy.Just don't forget the stripper heels! And when Halloween is over, throw those heels in your bag and get your sexy butt to class!

Hello ladies,
Do you have that feeling? The feeling of being tied down? To your job, your family, your desk, your schedule, your life, your man...your fears? Well break free ladies!! Break free of your restrictions, your fears, your hang-ups. Start doing things for YOU! I know change is often scary, but it is a needed force in our lives.

We've had some changes here at StripXpertease and I invite you to take advantage of those changes and break the chains holding you back! Come try our new classes and discover a sexier, more confident, more bad-ass you!! We now have classes 5 days a week that are $20 and under! We even have several fr*ee classes this month! What do you have to lose except your shyness, your inhibitions, your fears, and perhaps a few inches?

So, if you're feeling a little bored, or just need a break, come join us for class, tone up your tush, and learn a few sexy moves and positions to drive your honey wild (yep we're working on strengthening your bod to hold some of the craziest positions in the bedroom in Stripper Strength and Kama Sutra Kardio!). And then perhaps the next time you're feeling tied down, it will be for all the right reasons... ;)

I'm Gonna Punch You!
Introducing the new StripXpertease punch card! I'm so excited about the new NYC punch cards. Mainly because now you have FIVE NYC classes each week to use your punch card at! Two Stripper Strength classes, Sexy Steps, and our two new classes, Kama Sutra Kardio and the Desire Series. The punch cards are a great way to tailor classes to fit your schedule. All punch card classes are run on a drop-in basis which means you can miss classes or come every week and still develop your skills! That also means no need to pre-register, just show up! So come move your hips, toss your hair, and shake your bootie with these new super fun classes. Oh, and did I mention there are several fr*ee classes this month!
You may use your puch card at any of the following classes at any time:
KAMA SUTRA KARDIO: Learn how to pull off the "Congress of a Cow" and "Tail of an Ostrich" in this class. Tap into a whole new kind of sexy with this spicy mix of east and west eroticism that's sure to get your heart pumping. Playful, fun, and sensual, this class is good for body, mind, and soul. Bare feet or thin soled sneakers/dance shoes. Your first KSK class is FR*EE.
DESIRE SERIES: Yep, it's back, and now it's better than ever in drop-in class format. Each striptease class focuses on a different move/routine. Basics like the Robert and Lotion will be fine-tuned as you learn new moves, tips, and tricks to rock out your own routine at home. Heels are mandatory.
And don't forget to check out ...
STRIPPER STRENGTH: Be prepared to sweat your ass off..literally, in this fun and sexy work out class. Get flexible, strong, and sexy all in one class.
SEXY STEPS: Half-workout, half jazz dance, this class will get you working out and feeling sassy and sexy. The first half of the class tones you up (bare feet) and the second half teaches you a sexy dance routine (heels) in the Pussycat Doll dance style! Your first Sexy Steps class is FR*EE.
So get your butt to class and let us punch you...your card that is. We would, er, umm, neeever hurt you, no...just ask the Stripper Strength students.

Hello ladies,

Well, it's that time again. Back to school! What better time to rock out the naughty school girl or school teacher routine? This was always a favorite in the club. Here is what you need:

BOTTOMS: For SG: A plaid skirt, the shorter the better. And don't be afraid to use the scissors. For ST: Any skirt will do. Thigh highs with a line at the back are super sexy too!
TOP: For SG: A button up shirt tied at the waist or even a sexy wife beater can work. For ST: A button up is key and a sexy blazer can complete the look. Also check out some great pre-made SG/ST outfits here and here too.
HAIR: For SG: In pigtails or a ponytail. Just not too tight so you can let it down during your dance. For ST: a sexy loose bun held with a pencil.
ACCESSORIES: Of course the stripper shoes and a matching bra and thong are a necessity. A tie can work great for either character. For SG: A lollypop is great. For ST: A ruler or glasses do well.
MUSIC: A back-to-school music theme is the icing on the cake. Think soundtracks of high school films like Dazed and Confused or Breakfast Club. There are also songs like hot for the teacher, rock n roll high school, don't stand too close, and many others.
Then come see us for a perfectly choreographed routine and you'll be sure to get an A+ from your honey...or perhaps you'll be sent to the principal's office. Hmmmm.
See ya in class,xoxox-Kimberlykimberly@stripxpertease.com

Stripper Strength News...

So we have good news and bad news.

Bad news first. Due to a policy change at the studio we rent from on Tues nights, we will have to permanently cancel the Tues night Stripper Strength class in NYC. I know, I know. We tried to get them to make an exception, but they wouldn't budge. We are now moving the class to Monday nights from 6:10-7:20 pm at Ripley Grier Studios, one block up the street.

So good news is, if you haven't been able to come on Tues, now you can come get strong and sexy on Mondays. What better way to banish the Monday blues? Also our first Monday night class will be fr*ee! Yippee!

Sexy Steps will stay on it's current night but will change locations to Ripley Grier as well. Also, Sexy Steps has changed it's format. We now have sultry routines in the Pussycat Doll style of dance. So come tone and tighten your body and learn a hot routine that you can show off after class. And...drum roll please....the first class fr*ee policy is back for Sexy Steps. So you have no excuse to not show up! And this even applies to those who have previously taken the class! This is a limited offer so get your bootie to class ASAP!

And Texas gals, I even got something for you. If you have been dying to check out a Stripper Strength class but haven't had the opportunity, we have a fr*ee class coming up for you too! The class will be Aug 25th, Monday, 7:00-8:10pm. This fr*ee class is only open to new Stripper Strength students (this means you have never taken a Stripper Strength class).

Remember, all classes sell out at 10-12 girls so come early to ensure your spot. And don't forget your heels!

NEWSLETTER: jul 08

Hello ladies,

So we're smack dab in the middle of summer. I always forget how hot it gets in the city until Summer is here. You forget until the sweat is dripping down your back only 30 seconds after walking out of your front door. And if there is one thing that this heat contributes to, it's anger. It seems so much easier to get hot under the collar when your collar is soaked with sweat. I myself got a little angry this month (see The Apple Returns below). But I have cooled off a little since then. Mainly because I know my long awaited and much needed vacation is right around the corner. This weekend I am heading out to Chicago for Lollapalooza. It will be 3 days of nothing but music and sun. And I am totally psyched. Perhaps I will come back with some great new music for class. Either way I will come back a little less hot under the collar and much more tan.
So the theme this month is cool off, relax, and don't sweat the little things. Take time for yourself and it will all work out in the end. And since you are already all sweaty, why not drop into Stripper Strength?

See ya in class,
xoxoxo

The Apple Returns...

Some of you might remember my thoughts from the article Will That Damn Apple Haunt Us Forever?. I experienced a similar situation recently. I debated whether or not to include this story in the newsletter, not wanting to offend those involved or come off the wrong way, but I said eh, screw it, and went for it anyway. There is a company, who I shall not name because to be honest they have been very good to us in the past, and I genuinely believe they are good people. This company basically helps students find instructors of all kinds, from guitar to salsa. They provide profiles for the instructors and when a prospective student chooses to contact an instructor, the company sends the instructor all of the info about that student and then charges that instructor for the lead, usually between 4-7 bucks. Anyway, I have been using these guys for a couple of years. They started small and have been very upfront with their clients in their process of running the site and learning from their mistakes. Everything they did had such a personal touch. I had even had drinks with them here in NY once.

However, last week I received this email from them.

Hello Kimberly,

I am writing you today to let you know about changes here at
*****.com.
First, I wanted to thank you for your membership. You are respected and appreciated. You have been with us for a long time and we are sad to inform you of these necessary changes.
Recently, our company signed distribution partnerships with ABC Family, Active.com Family and Disney. In the course of these agreements, we have been asked to more properly align ourselves with a family-friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately, as of Monday, we will no longer be supporting lead generation for exotic and pole dance classes. In a perfect world, we would be able to list all types of services, but in reality, we will not be
able to.
I truly believe that the services you provide are of great benefit to women and their confidence, and applaud you for running a wonderful business.
On behalf of the entire **** team, we want to personally thank you for your patronage since you've been a member, and we sincerely hope your business continues to flourish.

I wrote back, very angry...

First, let me say that I realize my thoughts, being one of thousands your company has touched, are trivial. But the subject matter is not trivial to me. It has spearheaded my company and my passion, so I absolutely feel the need to simply share my thoughts. I also want to say that I admire you all for creating a business and going through the trials and tribulations so openly with your clients and for always making your clients feel special and valued. However, that being said, I am outraged.

My disappointment in this news is indescribable, especially since I have been using your site for years, through changes in site, and even name. Time and time again, I have been either pushed away, kicked out, or shunned for what we teach. For some reason our classes that teach women how to feel comfortable with their bodies and their curves, to look in the mirror and not feel fat or not beautiful enough are not OK. But other classes are. Ballet, which leads almost every girl it touches to battle with her body image and turn to anorexia...that is wholesome? Who decides what is good and what is not? ABC family? A company that still reeks of parochial Christian bigotry from its previous owners?

Granted, these classes may not be appropriate for an 8 year old girl, but does that mean they are bad, or vulgar? I mean, I get it, I do. I know we walk a fine line. But it just grates my nerves that once again we take a step back. Once again, we are classified as smut instead of empowerment.

I wholeheartedly believe that until our society opens itself up to the possibility that frank and open discussion with our families about sexuality and body acceptance (ie there is nothing wrong with touching and appreciating our bodies) can be beneficial to our families, then we will continue to live in a world where the fear and shame that surrounds this subject perpetuates eating disorders, sexual disorders, and sexual assault on said families. And it is, better yet was, people like you who stood up for people like us that helped to make this an accepted and positive form of movement and expression. And I'm saddened and deeply hurt to see...(story continued on our blog. Click here to continue the article on our blog)

There were no correct guesses from last month's newsletter. :(

NEWSLETTER: May 08

Hello ladies,

Once again, we are combining 2 months in this newsletter. We have been undergoing a lot of changes. I have discovered, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You see, StripXpertease started out as a private lesson only company. We felt, and still do, that you, the student, learn better in an one-on-one setting as opposed to a group class. Also, we felt girls could be more relaxed if a group class consisted of only their friends. So we are going back to our roots and focusing on our private lessons. All of our previous classes will still be offered, but no longer in that group setting where you might not know the girl next to you. However, we will continue to offer the Basic Moves Intro classes in a public setting for those who want to see what we are all about before jumping into private lessons. And because we are cutting several classes, we are going to make it easier for you to take the Basic Moves Intro by lowering the price. Woo-hoo!
So....
The Desire Series and the Lap Dance Intensive will no longer be offered as public classes. You can still take these classes as private lessons however (individual or self formed groups).
Basic Moves Intro Classes are now just $35 for one ticket and $60 for 2!
The 2nd Stripper Strength class in NYC on Tues nights at 7:40 pm has been cancelled, but it has been replaced with our super fun new class Sexy Steps. You can also use your punch card for this class.
For 2 weeks only, Sexy Steps will be FR*EE! June 24th**TONIGHT! & July 1st.
Sexy Steps: Our new fitness/dance class will be offered Tues. night 7:40-8:50 pm at Pearl Studios. Come get in touch with and tone up your body with this sexy dance class. Half-workout/half jazz dance (think Pussy Cat Dolls), this class will get you working out and feeling sexy about your body. The first half of the class warms you up and tones you up and the second half you will learn a sexy dance routine. No dance experience necessary. This class is open to any and all women who are looking to explore their bodies through dance and/or get in shape in a fun way. Tennis shoes or bare feet for the first half of class, heels for the second (heels are always optional). So there you have it. I hope to see more of you in an one-on-one setting. And if you haven't checked out our intro class, now is the time. See upcoming dates below.
See ya in class,xoxoxo-Kimberlykimberly@stripxpertease.com

The You Don't Know What I'm Doing Move Breakdown

This was always one of my favorite moves. So sexy. And it really gets him excited. Here is the breakdown for righties (lefties just switch right for left). This move works best with boyshorts.
Start about 3 ft away, facing him. Your legs need to be wider than shoulder width and locked (that means your knees are not bent).
Hook your left thumb into the waistband right above your hip bone. Keeping your thumb against your body, pull the waistband down below your hip bone.
As you are doing the Robert (one of our basic hip swivel moves) and One Handed Lotion, start to slide your right hand, fingers facing down, from your right breast down to your left hand.
As you do this, slowly pull the waistband open with your left hand.
Slip your right hand into the waistband up to your knuckles.
As your hand goes into the waistband, keeping legs locked, do a Circle Stripper Bend (bend down on the right side and sweep your body across in a half circle as if you were cleaning off a table with your chest) and move both hands directly over your crotch. You must bend down low enough so that he can't see what you are doing with your hands...he can only imagine.
After you complete the Circle Stripper Bend come back up to standing and move the left hand back to your hip bone.
Slowly move your right hand back up towards your face with fingers down. As your hands cross over your breast, point your fingers towards your face.
Bring your middle finger all the way into your mouth, and make eye contact as you suck on your finger. Finish with a naughty little smile. I'm sure he'll be smiling too.
To learn moves like the Robert and the One Handed Lotion, sign up for our Basic Moves Intro Class.

NEWSLETTER: March/April

...this was the last newsletter sent out in April...

StripXpertease
April/2008
Hello ladies!As you might have noticed, there wasn't a March newsletter. Sorry, we were busy! So much has happened over the past several weeks!

>First of all, we have hired and fully trained two new instructors in New York. I want to welcome Naomi and Cheri on board. Check out their pics/bio here.
>Also, we had the grand opening party of Free Spirit Dance Studio in Austin. It was an amazing event and a ton of fun. The studio is gorgeous and SXT classes are now in full swing there.
>We also did taping for some great press coverage. Our Stripper Strength classes, Free Spirit, and Saralynn were covered in the morning segment on KVUE news in Austin for Fitness Fridays. It was a great clip. Check it out here. Also, I was on BETJ's show My Two Cents on Monday giving lap dance instruction and speaking a bit about our classes. (You might be able to catch it in re-runs.)
>We have also added another Stripper Strength class in NYC (Tuesdays @ 7:40 pm starting May 6th) and the Risque Rehearsal is back in June which is basically a review class for anyone who has ever taken a class with us and then realized they forgot everything a few weeks later....lol.

On a side note, I myself had had a pretty eventful month. I was involved in the whole American Airlines debacle and was delayed THREE days getting back to New York. Believe me when I say it was an exercise in patience. But I returned to a much warmer NYC, and was pleasantly reminded that spring is upon us. And as you know, spring is the time for shirtless boys. Ahhh, spring. The picture is for your enjoyment. Yummy.

See ya in class,

xoxoxo

Ok ladies, spring is here and it's time to do some spring cleaning...in your schedule, that is. Be sure to clear out some space to do something for yourself! Whether it is tightening your tush in Stripper Strength or rediscovering your racy side in the Desire Series. Then you can put on that french maid costume and show him what spring cleaning is really all about.

The Perfect Striptease Song

Students are always asking me what the perfect song should be for their striptease. I always direct them to the StripXpertease blog. There is a search box in upper left hand corner, and if you type in "songs to strip to," you can see all of our suggestions. The problem is, there isn't a perfect song that will fit everyone. So I thought I would share some tips on finding the right song for YOU.First of all, we need to change the language. It isn't the perfect song, it is the perfect songs. If you are dancing just for yourself, then the possibilities are endless. Try to find a song that conjures up emotion. It can be fast or slow, but beginners should always stick with slower songs. However, most of you are asking about songs because you want to perform for a loved one, and that is a totally different story.

First you need a CD or playlist of several songs. The first four are the most important. Song number one is the "anticipation" song. Sit your lover in a chair and put in your cd (or iPod/iTunes play list) and push play. Then walk away into the other room. Give him (or her for all my lovely lesbians) a full song to wait for your entrance. This song should be slow and sexy. Also watch the lyrics. For instance In the Air Tonight has a great beat, but the lyrics are a little heavy, so I wouldn't use it. Choose a song that talks about s*x and preferably one that builds. I think D'angelo's Untitled(How Does it Feel) or Romantic by Goapele is a perfect song to use. The second song is when you make your grand entrance. This has to be your favorite because this is where you do the most dancing. The lyrics need to make sense for the situation, so no songs about breakups, fights, or anything depressing. For instance, I love dancing to Bad Girl by Madonna and Hey Joe by Jimmy Hendrix, but the lyrics aren't very inspiring for your honey. I truly believe this song needs to be slow. Especially for beginners. You also want to try to find a song that builds or changes through out. A song with a repetitive beat will lead to repetitive dancing.

Here are some of my faves in different genres and time periods.

Come Undone ...Duran Duran

In Your Room ...Depeche Mode

Black Cherry ...Goldfrapp

One in a Million ...Aaliyah

Jungle Fever ...The Chakachas

Summertime Rolls ...Jane's Addiction

On the Hunt ...Lynyrd Skynyrd

Let's Stay Together ...Al Green

Brown Skin ...India Arie

Bed ...J. Holiday

Is This Real ...Lisa Hall

Strangers ...Portishead

Glory Box ...Portishead

Purple Rain ...Prince

Say Yes ...Floetry

Comfortably Numb ...Pink Floyd

Father Figure ...George Micheal

Again, try to find something with a slow or heavy beat. And NEVER lipsynch. I mean seriously. The third song should be just as good as song number two. You might find that you only want to dance to one song, but if you decide to go further into song three, then it will need to be just as sexy as song two. Any songs after that can be a little off track. Hopefully by this time you will be doing something else besides dancing ...if you get my drift. Just make sure to put the cd or playlist on repeat. And again for those who don't have a partner, just find a song that makes you feel, whether it is anger, happiness, or sadness. Then just put that emotion into the song.

My current fave to dance to is Ghost of You by Chemical Romance. Lately I have been getting back to my rock roots. Other current faves, Noticed by Mute Math or anything by 30 Seconds to Mars. Some of my past favorites have included, Jamie's Got a Gun by Aerosmith, Doll Parts by Hole, Drive by The Cars, Love Bites by Def Leppard, Stripped by Depeche Mode, Regulators by Warren G, Whats it Gonna Be by Busta Rhymes, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve, How Do You Want It by 2Pac, and several old school Prince and Madonna songs.

We use several cds in class and students always go back to these as their faves: Glorybox, Portishead/ Come Undone, Duran Duran/ Say Yes, Floetry/ Closer, India Arie/ Feelin' Love, Paula Cole/ Teardrop, Massive Attack/ Come Here Boy, Imogen Heap. So find your perfect song and start listening to it over and over again. Once you know it backwards and forwards, then dance your heart out!

NEWSLETTER: February

StripXpertease
February/2008
Due to a leap year, we get one extra day before we say goodbye to February. The month for love, groundhogs, and dead presidents. I, for one, am glad that Valentine's Day is over, because I have a love/hate relationship with this holiday. But whether you love it or hate it, it always comes around, every year, tempting us to top the year before with romantic get-aways, sexy lingerie, and a night filled with passion to rival all other nights. To me, it seems like a big competition for who has the most romantic boyfriend/husband. Bah! Here is how I see February. We only need one holiday! Combine all 3 holidays, call it Ground Presi-tine's Day, and make it a national holiday so that we can stay home from work and be romantic with our loved ones groundhog style! Yeah! Seriously ladies, write your congressman.
Regardless, I hope that this year was good for you, whether you spent it with your honey, your best friends, or alone with those yummy boys, Ben and Jerry! The point is, Valentine's Day is over. The pressure is off. Time to grab your heels, get into class, close your eyes, feel the music, and just let the sexy just flow.

See ya there.

Dymystifying the Strip Club

The strip club field trip is one of my favorite nights of the month. I love going back to the club as a customer. It is like visiting your old hometown. You see how much has changed and yet, how much remains the same. There are things you miss and things that you thank God you don't have to deal with anymore. But what I really enjoy is demystifying the club for girls who have never been. Showing them how sterile sexuality can be here and also how it can ooze from every surface. Revealing the inner workings, exposing secrets, and narrating the internal dialogue every stripper has in her head.
I think a lot of women are secretly dying to step inside. It is kind of like the boy's bathroom. You know it is there, you pretty much know what it looks like, but because it is a mysterious place that you never seem to be allowed to go, there is a little thrill when you step inside. Then you realize, oh, it's just a boy's bathroom. Big deal, and kinda gross!
I remember my first time walking into a strip club. There were breasts everywhere! Part of me just wanted to stare. I mean, never had I seen so many boobs running free. And so many perfect ones at that. Then part of me felt, no, you shouldn't look. It was a battle...look, don't look, hers are huge, you are supposed to look, don't gawk, look again, are those real? And then I witnessed a table dance. Wow! I actually used to think a table dance was done on the actual table. Well, she used the table but the only thing she was dancing on was him. I was also surprised by how the men were reacting. Some were totally mesmerized, others seemed to not even notice the flesh bouncing in their faces, some were even watching TV! I remember thinking the women were all so beautiful. How did they all hold themselves so well, with such confidence? How were they all just walking around naked, like no big deal? How did they all smell so good, have such perfect bodies, such smooth skin? How did they move so slowly, so seductively? How did they make every guy feel like he was the only one in the room. It all felt so magical.
Very soon, I would find the answers to all of those questions. My first year of dancing reflects that childhood memory of discovering how your uncle really pulls a quarter out of your ear. I discovered that it was all smoke, mirrors, and sideshow magic. I also discovered how entertaining and empowering it could be to become the magician.
The great thing for me is even after seeing the man behind the curtain, that magic is still there. Just as even when you learn that the quarter never really leaves his hand but is merely hidden, you still enjoy the trick. I think this is what brings so many men back again. They know how the trick works, but it is still a pretty good trick. There is something so arousing and forbidden about this world where you can be a voyeur or even participate in an atmosphere that intertwines music, writhing bodies, liquor, money, and the two sexes in a constant push-pull for control.
Strip clubs all across the United States are all the same. So if you really want to know what it is like, you simply have to go. A lot of couples and groups of women go on the weekends. Go and see for yourself. Or go with us, we go every month. The field trip is now going on in Texas and New York. Ask questions. Get a lap dance. And like the first time you see a real life magic show you will be awed, amazed, a little mystified, and you'll probably want to see it again.

January Update 01.08

Happy New Year!! So ladies, did you get to smooch your favorite hottie when the ball dropped? Whoever invented the idea of kissing on New Year's Eve was brilliant! What better way to start the new year than in a steamy passionate lip lock. Of course it's great unless you have no lips to kiss, then it's just that reeeally uncomfortable moment after the ball drops. But whether you had your lips wrapped around your beau or the nearest shot glass at midnight, I am sure that shortly there after you started thinking about those New Year's resolutions. Yep, we all make 'em. Whether out loud or just to ourselves, there is always something we want to improve. Why not improve your sexy self this year?
Boosting confidence should be a required resolution every year because it is the one thing that truly makes us sexy! That means doing things that make you feel cool and confident, whether it's a new haircut or those pair of heels you've been dying to buy. Whatever (or whoever) it is that wasn't crossed off of your holiday wish list, go and get it! Stop making excuses and do the things that make you feel good about yourself!
This new year is going to be chock full of exciting new things for StripXpertease. And I can't wait. First of all, Stripper Strength is back. What better way to work on that "get in shape" resolution? And the Risqué Rehearsal is on the schedule, which will be open to any student who has ever studied with StripXpertease. You can practice your moves and even perform if you want. Whether you took a class at a bachelorette party, a workshop, a Stripper Strength class, or a Desire Series, bring yo-self! I am SO frickin' excited about this class, I can't even tell you!! It is going to be TONS of fun!!! I can't wait for the lights to start pulsing! See ya in class!

HOW DO YOU TAKE OFF YOUR BRA?
In all of our classes, we go over how to remove our bra in an ultra sexy way. Every one brings an extra bra, then we put the bra on over our clothes to learn the move. And let me tell you, there is more than one way to put on a bra! I have seen them all, including a girl who put hers on like a t-shirt, hook first then over the head! So it only makes sense that there is more than one way to take off a bra. I want to share with you just one of our bra removal moves that we cover in our basic classes and one other fun thing you can do with your brassiere. For these moves let's use a strapped, back closure bra. And a cute one too, not the one with elastic hanging out and torn lace!

The Tease: For this move you are simply teasing him with the idea that your bra is coming off. With a wide hand (jazz hand) insert your thumbs underneath the strap at the top of your shoulder with palms facing away. First, just slide your thumbs up and down the front of the strap, pulling it an inch away from your skin. Then slide the thumbs back down to the bottom of the strap, and tuck your fingers inside the cup portion of the bra, leaving the thumbs in place. Then use the base of your hand to push and create some killer cleavage. Keep your hands pushing towards the center and then move your palms up and down creating a see-saw effect with your boobs. Look down at your cleavage and bite your lips, like you wish you could just take a bite. Remember your Predator Face!

The Super Glue Move: Start facing away from your sweetie. Slowly unhook your bra. If you have trouble don't worry, just take your time. It isn't a race. Once you unhook, immediately press your left bicep into your ribcage to hold the bra in place. Then take your right hand and grab the left bra strap at the top of the shoulder. Hold the strap between your thumb and your forefinger. Imagine that they are superglued to the strap. Slowly move the strap off of your shoulder. Use your right wrist to hold the cup of the left breast against your body. This means your wrist is pressing against the bottom of the cup. Next, slowly pull your left arm out of the strap. Go slowly! Then place your left hand on your waist. Quickly, without letting go of the superglued strap, throw your right hand low towards the floor. Basically you are aiming towards the ground, 2 feet to the right of your right foot. Next, twirl your hand up until it is pointing to the ceiling, and then drop the bra. Cover your breasts and turn around for the all-important reveal.

**Sign up for Basic Moves Intro or Desire IA to learn all about the reveal and what happens next!
