Gonna join in on the pitty party. Clubs hiring everyone that auditions these days. And the new girls are complaining that they can't offer 2for1s whenever they feel like it (who wants to do $10 dances. Especially if management is counting it like a normal dance if you offer it outside of the special. That's like $6 after tip.
Normally I don't care but with so many girls right now stage time is minimal. We usually go up once a night now. Which is a huge cut in income when I used to get up 4x in a night a few months back.
Add in the typical rants about cheap fucks just there to drink the $2.00 beers.

First shift since July, and at a new club. The first half of the night dragged on and I was starting to smile at guys through gritted teeth - though I hardly dance now, I think age has diminished my strip club patience quota! Thankfully managed to meet a customer who was happy to take me away from the fuckery on the main floor and kept me in VIP for 2.5 hours until closing. Just wish he came earlier as I'm sure he would have bought more time. It was also the first time in my dancing career that a customer spotted my tampon string! I was a bit embarrassed but he joked about it and still bought more VIP time after that so not quite the buzz killer I thought it was!
Also, because of the intensity of my vanilla job and the fact I don't strip much anymore, I notice that it takes me much longer to get 'into character' on the floor. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
^^girl, you don't cut your string?lbs.
My shift tonight sucked, I made shit $$

Nah, I normally just jam the string up the ol' cooch with the tampon. Never been caught in the act until last night! ;D
Sorry about the shit shift - I get the impression you generally do really well so I bet this was just a small blip. I hope the next one more than makes up for it!

Last night was also dead-dead-dead at my club and hardly anyone was buying. I did 2 dances all night, but was able to sell some shoes to another dancer and got some tips on stage. My girlfriend came in to see me and drink with me because I was so bored. When I left at 2am some girls were complaining they hadn't made $1 all night.
Also found out my club is way dirtier than I thought. I was talking to a girl I'm kinda friends with (not otc; we just hang out itc when it's slow) and she casually starts talking about jerking a guy off in the LD booth for $60. WTF.
Is it another slow season right now or what? I'm barely breaking even this week after house fees, tip outs and gas.

Well, manager let me do this Friday night to try and help me, since the week has been horrendous. Even Fridays have been HORRIBLE at my club lately so I wasn't expecting much.
Several night shift girls have told me the last few Fridays they left with $100 or less all from stage. (I don't ask, they offer up this info.) Speaking of, one girl in particular always likes to ask how much money I've made. It's annoying because she is very patronizing- don't know what her interest is. Tonight we were on stage together and she asks me how I'm doing and I say, "good but my knees hurt after that set!" (just making conversation) and she tells me "You gotta hustle hard through the pain!" Ok lady please stop with the advice thanks. Makes me feel bad and question myself- do I genuinely look like I need advice or are you just trying to be nice and chat? Don't know...
Anyway I did OK but the night was *emotionally* draining. I'm switching up my whole look and hustle though so this will change. Everything is going to turn around. From what I gather it's been sucking for most of us so I'm trying to be positive.

My last shift was a awesome. I took home 568 and even though that was a little less than the previous shift, I consider this a better night. I met so many sweet people. They complimented, followed rules, and tipped. There was one guy that I just had an amazing time with ( talking and dancing) with. I actually wouldn't mind being real friends. Then I was so nervous about doing stage but I did really great. I made over 100 during my last stage sets. I got so many people to walk across the room and just throw money on stage. I was super surprised because I don't do any pole tricks or crazy moves. And many girls said I did great and before I could get off stage a couple asked for a dance. Then I dances for one of the finest guys I have ever seen. He was in the army and he was just soo dreamy. He paid for the dance then made it rain on me the entire time I danced. It was just such a great night. I really I enjoyed talking to everyone! Why wasn't I dancing sooner, LOL. I've made more money in four days then I made working 20/hr week all summer. Now just to get rid of these darn knee bruises.

My last shift.... pretty good. Had some guys that like to throw money around tip me (all ones, but money's money huh) all night long just for hanging out. Then they made it rain on all the girls on stage (which I love, really gets my energy up!). After that I didn't feel like hustling much, but still had fun. Decent night considering I didn't work too hard.

Saturday afternoon... there were only maybe 5 girls on at a time, the DJ had to do break songs between girls. When I left at 6, there were 2 girls working and one getting ready 0_0
But I made a quick $200 in 3 hours with zero hustling on my part; I had a line for me after each stage. Twas a nice change. Unfortunately the guys were only good for $20-$40 each and I had to go on stage a couple times an hour; I would have made more otherwise.
The highlight was probably the young kid who threw $40 in ones on my stage, proclaimed "This place sucks!" and went back to his seat. Hahahaha.

First night back in two weeks and I made half my average. It wasn't just me, nobody was doing rooms and the make it rain crowd just wasn't there.
last night was good but nothing over the top for a saturday, friday was just ok, not a time waste but not jumping for joy either. last night (sat) was full of guys asking me for blow, one girl had an OD in the club in front of everyone, I bet she's embarrassed today… the police came and right after that I think a guy was a cop who asked me where he could "get his nose dirty" lol. I said idk whatcha mean… Then walked off. and the last guy I did a room with was snorting, doesn't bother me tho, less work for me, I love those guys, there more into their stash than trying to have sex with me and typically not cheap… He kept offering it to me too, and giving it to me, I was like "no really I don't get down" had to tell him this at least 10 times.

This night was so much fucking bullshit. UGH
Some asshole said the nastiest shit to me and I ended up slapping him and telling him to fuck off, some other guy tried to move money he'd put on stage from in front of himself to in front of his buddy after I'd already danced for him, two groups of guys with money left before I got the chance to actually make money off of them... and there were so many girls and nowhere near enough customers for us all, so girls are getting antsy bickering about each other, and then that one girl that goes above and beyond, taking things too far in clear view of other customers and dancers... Just ugh. I had two old regulars show back up and ask in earnest when I'll be working again so they can come prepared, and made appointments with a few others though so it wasn't all bad. But holy shit it was a long night.

Yay I had a good night Saturday! Pretty sure it was slow for a sat night but I ended up in vip and thr champagne room all night because one guy loved me. I loved dancing for him too because he was so into it and not creepy at all plus he was more than happy to give me money lol. I did get a little too drunk though from the champagne room (oops) because we were back there with vodka not champagne (I've NEVER been back there with actual champagne) but luckily I went home right after. But I might have under tipped and ended up arguing with the bouncer about it. I just literally do not like that bouncer or that dj they don't do anything for me and are creepy on top of it. If the manager confronts me about it I'll apologize because I like him but if the bouncer does I'm just handing him 20$ and walking away. You don't DO anything at all for me and are always hitting on me on top of that why would I want to tip you good?? Ugh I just do not like some of the staff.
Oh and I think my boobies helped me because the guy really loved them lol not sure I'd I would've been in VIP & the champ room all night if I didn't have them!

Last night was actually fun, surprisingly. I was on my period, didn't want to be there so I just focused on having fun.
They pulled the STUPID giant screen down again that blocks half the stage...so I pulled one of my friends up and we did a "girl on girl" show. Within 2 minutes no guys were watching the game and we had them lined up on the tip rail throwing ones on us. LOL!
A dancer from another club and her boyfriend made it rain on me. I love that feeling of being bent over and feeling the ones fall on you..Ahhh. I did about 8 dances but made a lot on stage, and even guys who didn't buy dances tipped me for talking so I did well for a Sunday.
Only negative was I was on one custy's lap and I was pretty sure he was going to buy dances, when this other dancer walks by, slaps him and screams at him for calling her fat?! I guess it happened before I talked to him...Sorry but she IS fat. She's by far the heaviest girl there but she still makes $. I've had plenty of guys choose her over me because they like thick girls.
After some drama with her and the bouncers he wanted nothing to do with any of the strippers, so the bitch lost that sale for me. Guys tell me my boobs and ass are too small and shit like that all the time. but I'm not gonna go ruin another dancer's sale over it. Oh well. Still went home with a good chunk of cash.

I worked Tuesday at my new club and it was slooooow. Guys kept coming in and saying, "There are so many cars in the parking lot, where is everyone?" And I kept thinking, What, do you think the fifty dancers here all came in one little clown car or something? I only went on stage twice all day and I was there from 11:00 to 8:00. Made so much less than I do at my dive bar. It was like the guys there got drunk with power with so many girls there and so few guys. Probably the only time any of them had ever felt popular in their lives. So many time wasters who I talked with for a few songs and who kept putting dances off.
And then the one guy I actually made money off of... He accidentally got his watch caught under my nipple ring and it pulled so hard the thing started bleeding! I didn't even realize until I noticed a spot of blood on his shirt. ugh

I've been working but not posting as I've had a lot of family drama and all I really want to do is crawl into bed or snugggle with pets after work. It's been slow, with last night being ridiculous, probably because of the World Series. I did ok for what it was but there just wasn't much to work with. Having 20 or so gurls didn't help either. Plus I hated the management last night. The overcharger was managing and the pervy asshole who fucks with me because I won't sleep with him was assistant.
Stage fees have been changed again, so I've been going in 2 hours early to get the discount but it's not really worth it. I'm really sick of all of the changes, as its the third time its happened this year. I had some surprise bills so I need to make some serious money before the 3rd. Guess I'm pulling doubles for the next few days.

FML today was hard. I worked a split double and my legs just burn right now. The morning shift sucked. A guy asked for extras and got nasty when I said no. So, I ordered a Coke from the bartender... Just so I could pour it on his head. He bitched up a storm but management completely backed me up. Hey, it got rid of him. Money wise, the morning just sucked. Lots of people watching and not spending or calling me over, thinking that I'll hang out for free. I told them that I was very busy and then sat one table over, playing Candy Crush. Fuckers.
The night shift was better. I had to rescue the manager right when I got there but it did score me a VIP dance. The rest was made up by a very cool biker guy and a bachelor party that fell in love with my boobs.
There's a contingent of bottom feeders that are dance stalking me. None of them look remotely like me, but the minute I'm done dancing, they run over. A couple are also trying to snipe my tippers. Never works but its frustrating that I have to wait for them to leave. They're funny though. They get SO mad that they can't get dances from my customers and stink eye me SO bad. Makes me laugh!
Management was ideal today but... once again the fee structure is changing. Apparently some girls are abusing the system so we all suffer for it. I'll adapt and I know that some of the managers will be good to be so not too concerned.

I'm giddy about last night. Started off weird, but after about an hour a very young (early 20s) guy picked me off the floor in a no-VIP club and took me to the lap dance room and kept handing me $50s every 2 songs (one song is $20). I was back there with him till 1am when his friends decided to leave. He wanted to stay till close and had the money to do so. Best part? He didn't want to dance, just wanted me to sit in his lap and swap stories.

Yesterday was super dead. 20 girls on, 3 stages running, customers watching the "free" show. When this shit happens, I wait it out until some of the girls leave (and sure enough, they did, and one even wrote the DJ an IOU for his tip... which always makes me feel better about the situation).
I made zilch until I got $40 in the black from a nice newly single guy who reminded me of a cross between Barney Stinson and Billy Currington (aka, pretty cute and charming). Danced for 2 more guys after that, one regular and a new biker type dude who was also very pleasant.
It was definitely one of those nights where I have to put myself in check though and remember that the $25/hour I made, while pathetic for a stripper, is still way more than I would have made anywhere else. It also makes me so freakin excited to move somewhere that does not have $10 dances.

Tonight was not amazing but it was average. I made my last $101 (exactly lol) off of one guy who gave me $50 onstage then gave me $50 for a quick dance right before closing time. So if that didn't happen it would've been totally mehhh-borderline depressing. Still, for a Friday it was bad (it's been bad!) but that incident gave me a little hope.
Usually my stage tips for a Friday are much better but, the crowd just wasn't there all night (until aforementioned guy)
We got a LOT of women and under 21 girls dressed like.. can I say it? Sluts. Hanging out with their girl friends, not drinking and just sitting there. Why are you here? This is a phenomenon I will never understand.
I also do not understand why girls dress up to the 9's in slutty attire FOR FREE for just a few hours. For Halloween, raves, and other stupid shit. If I could have I would've skipped the club as a dancer and especially a patron, stayed home and eaten candy. But maybe I'm just no fun, lol

I killed it tonight. From the minute I got in, it was non stop dances. The crowd just loved the hell out of me. My bestie, who left to take a day job, came in to dance and brought in a strip club virgin, so I was his first dance ever. Totally cool! I also made $100 on the way to the DR after I checked out, lol. It was that kind of night and I sorely needed it.
I'm exhausted and my feet are just burning, but I have my bills paid for the month, so more than worth it.

Today was good. Everything went smoothly and I made good $. There's a semi new girl who has a locker near mine and we talk a little bit every now and then. Shes been hanging around a clique of girls who only do stages and VERY rarely do VIPs or dances. When they're not on stage, they all sit together and gossip and play with their phones.
She was talking to me as I was getting ready to go and was like, "I could never do all those private dances and rooms like you do." I told her it (obviously) is how you make real $ in the club. She said its what the basic girls do, and she and her friends makes all their $ on stage.
Sure....how can that possibly be?
Are there truly dancers who think they're "too good" to do dances/VIPs and leave dealing with customers one on one to the "basic bitches"? Really? I've been dancing since '05 and have never heard of such a thing.

I was still hungover from friday night last night which meant i didn't have the energy to do anything
the only reason I made money was because people approached me or i was sitting at the bar waiting for time to pass/for me to feel better and said hi to the guy sitting next to me lol
kinda pissed that i didn't have energy to hustle because there was def money there, i just didn't have it in me to get it

Last night was my best night ever at this club. I did my first CR with a well behaved customer who didn't expect me to fuck. I got more highlights Friday so I am showing up as blonde in the club now and I think that's why I banked last night. The only annoyance was my last customer got 5 dances and thought that $200 would buy my phone #. He wouldn't fuck off after our dances and kept whining for my #. I just told him I had to pee and bounced. Irritating. I hope he doesn't come back...what a brat.

I've worked 6 shifts total at this new club. Out of those my last four shifts, which have been weekend shifts, have been disappointing (and unfortunately I cannot schedule midweek shifts just now due to my vanilla commitments). Everyone - including management - have been complaining about how unusually quiet this club has been. The girls that I'm told are normally top earners there are largely relying on regulars (something I haven't established being a new girl there). In one sense I know it's not just me, but it certainly does not justify not earning money as being acceptable.
It's at times like these I'm just so grateful I have a good vanilla job. I spoke to some of the girls in the changing room yesterday and it dawned on me just how stressed some of them were with ups and downs of stripping with few having forged little in the way of alternative income. We had a short but interesting discussion on it. I found their honesty refreshing and was thankful for it. Despite the bad nights, I do count my blessings.
Anyway, I don't want to sever ties with this club just yet but I think I'll take next weekend off, re-examine my hustle, reassess my options and take it from there.

My last shift was my first night at a new club. Everybody was very friendly, the staff and the managers were very nice which is a nice change from the last club I worked at. The girls took a little while to speak to me but once they did they were all very nice. I didn't hear them talk shit about each other and they all seemed to get along which is also a nice change from what I've dealt with in the past.
The bad part is it was a really slow first night. There were more girls than guys the entire night, half the girls were in the dressing room talking to each other and playing with their phones. Luckily, I got tipped decently onstage which is good. This seems like a club that is good for stage tipping if someone actually makes the effort. Selling dances was like pulling teeth. All the guys were "maybe later, maybe after I see you dance," or begging for my number and for me to go home with them.
I'm not going to give up on this club yet though. I'm going back next week to see how it is. This is a club that has a reputation for having good money and the girls all seem happy there so I feel like it will pick up and it was my first day luck (which seems to happen to me quite a bit, I am cursed, ugh lol) slow night, shitty customers.

I gave up my shift at Doubles because I figured I'd be raiding the Halloween stores with my boyfriend post sale. Nope, he had to work. I worked at Pumptown and it started off dead until a bachelor party came in. They were all VERY respectful and everyone tipped. It was a great night. I got 17 dances and great tips.

Pretty dead last night but I had an awesome old trucker from South Carolina and it was so much fun bullshitting with another Southerner. Kind of made me home sick! I made most of my $ off him and a couple other guys. I only got rejected twice (from guys who weren't spending on anyone.) Going blonde is the best decision I've made since going back to the pole! I still made my weekly goal and out earned my friend who is usually one of the top girls. I am pleased.

After being sick and missing two weeks of work I was stuck with a slow Sunday to try and make rent. Stayed from 2-7 for day shift and made $100. Got some dinner, tried not to freak out, went back in.
For some reason stage was amazing last night- no one ever makes much at my club on stage but I made more than a third of my money up there- at one point I had to change out $200 in ones. Usually I save my ones for tipout but last night I had too many to fit in my clutch.
I sat in the corner a lot. In the dark. Bullshitted with my favorite bouncer when my feet and smile were starting to drag. But by some miracle I was still very popular, sold multiple dances with people waiting when I finished (of course these are effing $10 dances so for that next $200 I had to do about 17 -thankfully guys with odd numbers of dances still pay with $20's and enjoy tipping me).
I had a couple hotties too- texas military and raver alternative, and they were the ones chasing me down, waiting for me, happy with everything I did. I didn't have a single asshole (oh there was some dude who just unbuckled and unzipped when we sat down but I laid down the law and he behaved and was very sweet about complying).
Best of all I MADE RENT. yay! On a fucking Sunday when we closed at 12:30 because all the girls were gone. I'm so happy I stuck it out. Going back in tonight will be maintenance work, not catch up.

for a tuesday night i did ok
sat with these arab guys and they bought us champagne but it was the cheapest moet lol but at least we made some money when the club was dead
after this girl said she talked to the guys in the corner but they didn't want anything but I thought I would try since there was no one else
i talked to them for a while and then one of the guys was like "my cousin has gone through a rough time, can you talk to him for about an hour?"
so he bought an hour VIP
i had to cut it short half way though because he wanted to finger me and was trying to take my thong off (it's a topless club)
after i paid for my apartment i still made money so i'm happy
lets hope tomorrow is even better :D

Ahh.. tonight was garbage in general. I took a guy from Dallas to the vip, give him a back rub. As I'm taking my dress off, the fkr got completely naked. I tell him to get dressed. I'm thinking great....I didn't see that shit coming(he was really nice on the floor).
He gets dressed and tells me to sit next to him bc he didn't feel good and he felt like puking. I'm thinking it's an excuse to leave. Whatever. Fine by me. I didn't want to deal with him. I told him I'd escort him to the nearest restroom and thank God he was a foot behind me. He puked his brains off and it splashed all over the poor waitress. I couldn't stop laughing at the faces ppl were making. It was none stop for almost 5 minutes...crazy shit!! That was an easy hour money for me. Within 10 minutes. Lol.

Yesterday was actually good! I finally hit my happy hourly average, which I haven't hit since August. It's been a weird autumn here since it's usually our busy season, but I find my earnings were better in the summer this year, which is usually our dead time.
