Rod Masters the Universe Home of Chicago's Own Rod Masters

Let me ask you something? Have you ever searched YouTube for "Booty Meat"?

If you haven't, I suggest you do. You'll be shocked--the booty meat crazy has swept the country!!

It's all based on Soulja Boy's newest hit song, "Booty Meat." Basically, Soulja Boy wants all the ladies to shake their booty meat--and as you can see on YouTube, they definitely are.

There's only one thing missing from this equation: guys. Where are all the hot guys shaking their booty meat?

That's where Rod comes in! I am truly a pioneer. I was checking out some booty meat videos a few weeks ago, when I thought to myself, "why not do one myself?" So I did. And it's only a matter of time before it pops off bigger than any other booty meat video on YouTube.

I've got the diary posted above, but if you're interested in seeing my whole booty meat video, that's available, too:


So until next time, peace, love and booty meat! Please help me spread the booty meat around the world wide web!

Wow, I lost so much track of time, I haven't even had a chance to give you the inside scoop on my latest diary vid (watch it above).

This one focuses on my social networking and marketing efforts. As you guys can tell from my growing Facebook and Twitter pages, it's paying off big time! Trump status is close at hand!!

You are obviously reading this post right now, so you're already aware of RodMasters.info. Seriously--what a freaking deal I got on this website! There's no better bargain out there than 89 cents for a web domain, especially when it's a ".info" site. After all, ".info" is the fastest growing top-level domain on the web! If you don't believe, me Google it! Screw paying 20 bucks for ".com" when you can get a sweet deal like that. I'm gettin' on that wave before it hits the beach!

Another conversation starter in this video is my "Rod Masters.info" t-shirt. I've already had several e-mails from people inquiring if they can buy one for me. That thing is definitely driving traffic to this site. With 12 million people in the City of Chicago alone (not even counting the metro area, I feel you Evanston!), I'm like a walking billboard for this blog. I can't tell you how many comments I've gotten on the "L" or on the bus. People really notice my shirt. And yes, I am dedicated--I even wear it over the Winter gear.

One downside of the shirt that you see in the video is that it didn't have "www" in front of the domain. Since ".info" is an expanding genre of websites, not everybody's familiar yet with it. I went back to the Jive Monkey the other day and had them put on those three letters! I even had the website put on the back of the t-shirt so people can see the address no matter which way I'm facing. That's old-school marketing, but it's effective!

I will to continue to work on expanding my marketing for my future endeavors, but in the meantime, hit me up on this blog, Facebook or Twitter!

I've neglected the blog for several days, but with good reason--we've been doing more filming for the diary series and I just haven't had time to write!!

This round of filming was definitely a mixed bag. There will be some high moments and some low moments. The last few days of shooting have really left me down in the dumps and questioning my future. I'm hoping some things that happened during those days don't make the final cuts.

On the bright side, there were some great things filmed before the past few days. The high point for me will be seeing a new concept I've created that will be bigger than Harry Potter! I know Alex will make it come to life on film!

So after several days of trudging around Chicago filming, I'm definitely excited to see what comes next. The coming weeks should be full of Rod Masters on YouTube, so check it out. It's hot stuff!!

This video says it all. This is why I'm a male stripper. This is my purpose in life.

When Rod Masters shows up at you're party, it's gonna be off the hook. When I bring my associates, it gets even wilder.

It doesn't matter where your party is. It could be a banquet hall. It could be a park gazebo. It could be a street corner. It could even be at a roller rink. Any location, Rod will rock it!

If it's hot guys you're after, then Rod is right for you.

A while back on the blog I said I'd let you guys in on my business plan after some more of the videos came out--I didn't want to steal their thunder. Now that the cat's out of the bag, I can give you more details!!

So I gotta admit it--Alex got me with this one.

He took some of the footage from my photoshoot where I was trying to get out of my army pants, and posted a video on YouTube called "Mail Stripper Fail." Har-dee-har-har.

But you know what? I'm not mad about it. Whatever it takes to get my name out there. "Fail" videos are hot right now, so if people see that and come to the blog, so be it! More exposure equals more revenue for Rod Masters, Inc.

Let me also say this: THAT COSTUME IS NOT A FAIL. The pants are super sexay, but I just haven't had enough practice getting them off yet. A few more weeks and I'll be golden. I pride myself on having authentic costumes, and those are AUTHENTIC army sweats. Authentic doesn't always mean optimal for stripping, but I'll figure it out.

Time to give you guys the inside scoop on episode six of my diary and the featured photoshoot! I think this is the best video so far.

It's so hard to know where to start. I had a TON of fun with the costumes, and I think some of them are going to be very valuable as I move into private parties. If I had to rank the costumes in order of sexiness, I'd go with this:

1. Sexy Librarian
2. Sexy Yogi
3. Sexy Angel
4. Patriotic Hockey Player
5. Christmas Boxer Extravaganza
6. Sexy Cowboy
7. Sexy Army/Navy/Marines Guy
8. Mardi Gras Guy
9. Sexy Sailor Boy

Now you're probably thinking to yourself, "but Rod, I didn't see half those costumes in the video!" Well, don't worry--Alex has more videos of the photoshoot that will be coming out over the next few weeks, so you'll get to see ALL of my costumes. They are sooooo hot!!

Also, you'll note in the video that my photographer, Kenn (the best photog in the biz!), said he didn't like a few of my costumes--specifically the sexy librarian, sexy army/navy/marines guy and the angel costume. I gotta tell you guys, he was just giving me a hard time!!! No way anyone would think those costumes weren't sexy. Look how high I have them ranked in my list.

If you've got any ideas for a costume, feel free to leave a comment. I've got a few new ones up my sleeve that I'll unveil in the coming months, but for the next few weeks, enjoy my photoshoot videos!

Also, don't forget to follow me on Twitter and fan me on Facebook. Please check out all the YouTube videos, and feel free to subscribe and send them to your friends. I need your help!

Remember, in 2010, Rod is in.

Will the persecution and the demonization of male strippers never end?

Word is out that a female teacher in Brownsville, Pennsylvania (pictured above, pretty sweet huh?) has been suspended because someone posted a picture of her with a male stripper on Facebook. From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Brownsville Area School District Superintendent Philip J. Savini Jr. imposed the 30-day suspension in early January, said school board President R.W. "Rocky" Brashear.

Students — including some at the elementary level — were among those who saw the photos and notified administrators, Brashear said.

Savini did not return a phone call yesterday. Brashear said he has seen the photos and supports Savini's decision. The teacher is fully clothed, and no students were present when the photos were taken, but Brashear said the woman is depicted in a sexually suggestive pose with the stripper.

What a load of crap! Thankfully, the ACLU is stepping in to protest. Finally SOMEONE stands up against this male stripper backlash. There's NOTHING wrong with a teacher going to a strip club to see some hot guys. Especially if she lives in a place that looks like that picture. She NEEDS entertainment. She can't help it if one of her friends posts a picture and tags her on Facebook. What a joke!

It's sad that society considers male strippers so awful that they'd suspend someone from their job for hanging out with us and enjoying the show we put on. I'm definitely going to put in a call to the United States Male Stripper Congress on this one, and see if we can't help out the ACLU's efforts. If you're on board, flood the Brownsville school district with phone calls and show your support for this teacher! I know I'll be making one. You don't mess with the male stripper lobby like this!

I've been really hesitant to write about the newest video diary. It's kind of had me in a funk all week. Once I saw it, I didn't even feel like posting on the blog for a while.

As you know, Alex had free reign with these videos, but I hoped he wouldn't use this clip, and he did. He told me he feels it's an important part of telling my story, so I guess I should come clean.

A while back, I mentioned in one of my posts that the economy was not hurting my business. I lied. Yes, the economy has been hurting me. Yes, that's why I'm looking for a discount on rent. And yes, that's even why I try to eat cheaply.

It's tough right now, but in time, my frugality will pay off. In fact, there have been a lot of stories on the news about how "cheap is chic." So I know I'm not the only one out there feeling bruised by the recession.

What's really funny to me is that a bunch of people out there keep saying that the recession is over. I even read in the newspaper yesterday GDP was up 5.7 percent last quarter. Whoop-tee-do! Tell that to John Q. Stripper who's working the stage at an empty club.

My plan of attack is to change my business. That's the reason I've been trying to move into private parties. I've heard there's more money in it. So I'm working on that right now, as you'll see in upcoming videos.

Despite the hard times, I'm staying positive. Rod Masters, Inc. will grow. I will be my own boss. I'm hopeful that in a few years time, you'll see my name on the side of a high-rise in downtown Chicago!

So yeah, to everyone out there who's having a tough time right now--especially in the stripping business--I feel you. Like Biggie said, "keep ya head up!"
