In a good many black and white Egyptian movies, dancers received tips in their costumes. Even if this may have not been the norm outside a movie site in Egypt during the time these movies were being made, it did develop that way in the West by way of these films.
I love and accept getting money this way in my costume; and, quite frankly, I don't find myself feeling slutty at all. I find myself feeling much like I believe the dancers in Egyptian films who accepted tips that way felt -- feeling appreciated and enjoyed.
