Well, consider yourself having heard of one. My dancer on Kettemoor is just such a dancer. However, it is even tougher to feel out customers as a guy, because many females are just so sick of being propositioned that even something just done as part of the entertainment will completely disinterest them. I find most females that come in make their way straight to their friends and ignore the entertainers.



Inside my heart is breaking, my make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends

Very interresting
I'm not a dancer, just a customer, but you should also take the species of your customers into consideration. As a Mon Calamarian I find it rather disturbing when a female human comes over to my table, where I'm in a conversation with a bothan friend, and tries to get a tip with a dekadent representation of her mammalian body.
Mind you, it would be easier for me to bear this sight when humans wouldn't have this tiny, ugly eyes.

Hrm. The wookie could have his/her own comb with the zabrak, though....

Dear lord, I need to get off work if I'm cracking jokes like this, and get into the game....

Great column, Kwee! I can't wait to read the next one!


I think that pretty much sums up the experience all of us have had.. One of my new favorites is the AFK /smile macro. Are they trying to make customers think they're actually there? /ponder

Thanks for the comments I'm actually doing Species in the next Gamer Girl, as well as clothing and possibly gender. I had ten factors in all I'm spreading out over a few columns. Priall, even worse than the /smile macro is the random Thank you!!! macros lol. It's built into the macro to thank people that may be tipping their inert AFK bods.

What a nice read


In Coronet, not only do we have a random smiler in the AFK crowd, but we also have a perma-AFK guydancing who will spout, 'Thanks for being a great audience!' at regular intervals. Do they *really* think they're fooling anyone? lol
