The tatoo could effect the tip. I chose to forgo the traditional facial tatoo and have the single ponytail and small frontal horn arrangement. (Leiis after all only half-Zabrak)The tips very of course from patron to patron and venue to venue. If you think this might be a problem consult your local ID.

I have noticed that female Entertainer/ID types do get more customers and tips.

Big tips = exotic leotards, metal bikini/hotpant combo, low cut tops and shorts...in that order and excluding giving out mind buffs.

Thats the summary of that long post. If you're a zabrak then get a hat or have an image designer add some hair if you're afraid that you'll get passed up. Try and remember that the majority of people playing this game are males. If you're a female they're going to see your avatar as an extension of you. So if you're a 5'1" 300lb girl in real life they could care less as long as your avatar looks sexsy (men are more inclined to seek and/or enjoy the attention from an attractive persona than an ugly one).

The twilek thing stems from Return of the Jedi although personally I thought princess leia in the metal bikini waaay outdid the twilek in looks.

Try breaking the ice by saying hello and welcoming them by using their own name. If you want to be social this is pretty much a must since they are basically looking at a large group of strangers all doing the exact same dance or some form of music. Dont expect them to stay long though. Many of us dont have hours and hours of freetime on our hands so we want to get healed and back into the field ASAP. After a while though you may retain some regular customers who will stay a bit longer and may tip more regularly.

Yeah we definitely need some new male dancing animationsand clothing. Guys in hotpants doing exotic4 are....just weird. If I'm going to be in a thong can I at least have some macho male stri...err dancer animations?

I was going to come into this thread and tell you how the species has little to do with tipping in this galaxy, but I had to stop and be truthful with myself.I'm going to say something here I haven't said to anyone, because I'vebeen concerned about this for quite some time and its bothered me . . . a lot.

. . . What has this galaxy come to?

(P.S.- my ID/Dancer is female...why is it that people equate strength & inability to play dead or engage in popularity contests as "male" traits?)

Popular/Popular2: Low-cut top, infiltrator leggings, boots, lekku wrap. Another cute outfit is a fleshwrap andpullover in the same color, with boots. Looks kinda go-go dancer-ish.

Another outfit I'm fond of (which the guys love, and the girls hate) is a cloak, hot pants, and boots - no shirt. It is VERY revealing... but it IS just pixels. And if some guy wants to give me 100k for showing him my PIXELS *gasp* then far be it from me to argue with him. I've never been one of those girls who does anything butdance for my clients, and I never will be. And I've never considered myself to be 'selling out' when I wear this. I've gotta pay my bills somehow!

Alrighty.. I hope you don't mind me putting my 2 credits in on this...

My main is Alasrii, a Master Dancer/Master Politician on Starsider. When I was leveling her up.. I was prone to visiting Coronet a time or four. I always chose a corner to dance in so I could not be in the 'thick' of things, and I tended to wear not so revealing clothes. I think the worst I got was a simple red lekku wrap, a pair of white comfortable pants and an 'Alasrii red' revealing top ((The tailors in town coined that name for me )). With everyone else wearing exotic leotards I stood out in the crowd. I also tried to say at least hello to everyone who walked in and struck up a conversation. I was told many times that I was the sexiest thing in there.. for one simple reason.. I did not dress to wow anyone. Just to please myself. And of course I told jokes like... What do you call a dancer in a tailor shoppe? Broke

Things like this made me stand out as a dancer, and I was well tipped for it. Alasrii is a bright and bubbly 17 year old twi'lek who loves to show off her dancing skills. Now she's a master but she still shows up in coronet on occassion though. When people are looking for entertainment.. they want a show, so give them one. *grin* She also carried her inventory full plus some droids full of clothing for dramatic clothing changes depending on what she was dancing.

Just my 2 credits worth in here.. though I think I went a bit over that...
