Are you kidding me... South Florida is loaded with models who will do artistic nude. Go to
www.onemodelplace.com and search till your heart is content. I use the site a lot when doing projects that require nudity. This should help you and good luck.

So that's two good reviews for OneModelPlace from Tommy and myself!
My warning is this: unless you ALREADY KNOW a woman who happens to be a stripper, then I'd assume working with a stranger/stripper is a BIG RISK:
1. They're perhaps even flakier and less dependable PERSONALLY than "actress" wanna-be's and may not show up when you need them, de-railing your whole shoot ...
2. They get offered "movies" all the time by "creeps with cameras" ... and 99% of the time that's a come-on to make a stupid porn video. So unless they KNOW YOU already (and that you're sincere as a filmmaker) they're neither impressed nor flattered ...
3. They can be sincere, and have stardom in their dreams, and they're STILL romantically involved with a maniac for a boyfriend, and he will give either her or you unhappiness out of jealousy ...
There is a huge psychological difference between nude models and standing up on a stage and getting naked or lap-dancing strangers. One may indeed have an artist/actor's psychology ... the other may well turn out to be a broken person who is a big problem to pin your film's success upon. So ... I warn against using a stripper unless it's for the most basic of "show us your hooters" flash-the-camera scene.
All of that is mere GENERALIZATION, obviously.
I knew (well, I knew a girl who knew them) several EX-strippers who I would've trusted to show up and shoot a good scene.
Of those FOUR ... one had a boyfriend who killed a guy. (She in fact was in my video, and years later I met the sister of the guy her boyfriend killed. I never mentioned I knew her, Talk about having a topic you never want to come up!)
One was the sweetest girl you'd want (though so weak-willed or needy she got seduced by a girl who looked like an English Bulldog). But now she's a dental assistant and her life's wonderful!
One I tried to use once, but she called and warned me that her boyfriend was giving her too much BS so she apologized and backed out (but with plenty of warning, fair warning).
One just moved and no one knows where. (Which in itself would be a good movie project for her to be in, unless she's buried out in a cornfield somewhere. We speak of burning dead dinosaurs as oil and gas in our cars ... but no one thinks about the strippers who may be in their Ethanol)
And I'd suggest EX-strippers are more together than current strippers.
OMP.com ... That's my advice. Like Tommy said, in South Florida you should have NO PROBLEM.
