That i did not need to buy 1 outfit for every shift!! (heck i'm still buying outfits but not dancing atm)

argh, I do this too with the outfit buying. I actually just spent $100 today on costumes. But the way I see it...if that $90 gown helps me feel sexy and leads to me having an $800 Friday night, it's a good investment. ;)

And yea...I wish I would have listened to the advice to "pay yourself first" (i.e. SAVINGS before all else, even bills). If I would have saved money all along, I'd be SO much further in life right now. Instead of feeling like I'm starting from scratch all over again.

1. That being considered a snob at work to other girls is O.K. I'm not there for them.
2. You won't always make back what you just spent
3. It's a job, not a lifestyle

Honestly just number 1. Which is glad why I'm going to a new club. I made too many 'friends'

yea...that too. I definitely spend way too much time goofing off with other people at my current club. :-[ Easy habit to fall into, but hard to break.

..That every stripper has the power of gingerlee kungfu.
..that being propositioned for sex and/or dates would be a nightly thing.
..treating it like a real job will have much better return than not.

I wish I would have known just how much a part of me it would become...I haven't danced in years, but there isn't a day that goes by I don't think about it. A good song will come on, and I'll want to get on stage...money gets a little tight, and I'll think about how easy it would be to make a couple of hundred real fast. *sigh* I think I will always miss it in some way or another.
