Everyone has a type. Mine, tragically, is Mexicans. I'm kinda thick, tall, brunette, great ass, Mexicans love me. They're also nearly always broke and handsy/toungey, as you all know.
Except for tonight. Tonight, they were loaded. And, you know, handsy, but...whatever. I kept them in line and took all their money. Please come back, Mexicans with money!

^^^^Lol love this. I'm Mexican.
Most amount of money I ever made was off some Mexican cartel from across the border. While the young ones in the VIP were handsy and annoying and totally trying to finger fuck the two Colombian girls with me in VIP, I was sitting with the head Narco who tipped me in $100s. I bought my first car with that money. Should've bought a Honda LOL cuz that car is too expensive to maintain now and is just sitting in my parents' garage.

omg, I worked Monday. went in at 6pm. It was so bad that the club closed at 1am instead of 2. After fees, tip outs I left with $51. I have made more than that during a January snowstorm! WTF. That may be my worst day in my history except when 9/11 happened and they shut the bar down at 3pm.

I didn't plan on working today, but the manager called and asked if I could come in, because a regular asked for me. What sucked is that I got a spray tan this afternoon. Whatever. I hosed off and went in. The regular only got one VIP dance and left.
it was slow but still enough spenders to make it worthwhile.
A really, incredibly psychotic, dancer from my old club showed up. She hates me because I'm a few years older than she is but look great, while she looks old enough to be my mom. Ok. I avoided her. As I was getting dressed to leave, she was bitching to a bouncer that she's too cute not to make money. Ugh!

^ me too! A lot of girls I work with avoid foreign-born Hispanic men at my club. More money for me:)
My last shift looked at felt like a slow painful death. The few customers that came in were cheap dumbasses or weirdos. I by some miracle made a little over my weeknight goal. Still not sure how I pulled that off lol. Did a lot of sitting and talking with other girls. Two of my work friends recently got back from working at KOD Miami and were telling me about it. Jealous, I wish I was built for that kind of club.
My last VIP of the night I cut my foot on something. I'm now freaking out, completely convinced myself I'm going to get some weird strip club disease.

My last shift was actually on the 9th. The club opened up early because of a private party. I pulled up and there are about 140 motorcycles in our parking lots. There was a big meetup for groups from IN, IL, OH, IA, KY, and one group from CO. Awesome, I love bikers! While I know I won't get rich off of them, I knew I could at least have a good time and get into a good mood for the rest of the night. Walk in the DR, it seemed like every girl on our roster decided to come in. I get dressed in one of my corsets and found a group that I felt I could get along with. Spent the first hour just talking and drinking, 2nd hour I did a few dances. They had to leave the club around 8:30 (they weren't in compliance with our dress code) so I hung out with them until they left.
Went onstage soon as they left and only had 1 tipper. Went straight to the CR with him. Got dances here and there after that. I had a lull in interested customers between 10 and midnight. Lots of groups with chicks :/ I don't do groups with chicks.
So I hung out with one of the other girl's regulars until another dancer came over and told me that her friends were interested in me. Awesome. I walk over and it is the douche nuts that always want me to dollar dance. I figure "What the hell" and go over to them. They asked me for a dollar dance and I tell them "I don't dollar dance (like every other week). I do VIP and CRs only" They say "We're just trying to help you out. You're new and not gonna make money if you don't dance" Me: "Really? I've been here almost 5 years and make plenty of money" Them: "I've never seen you here before" Me: "I'm the chick with the blonde and pink mohawk (I was wearing a long, blonde wig this night). I sat in that corner over there last weekend and got paid to drink with the guys at that table" Got up and walked away.
Found a familiar face at the bar, talked for 5 minutes, and walked in the back (right past the douche nuts table) to go do an hour in the back. Come out and find more familiar faces that end up doing a couple of rooms and a bunch of singles for the rest of the night. I'm still in back when I hear last song playing. It is like 3:15 and I'm like WTF? Any other night the club stays open if there a girls getting dances. Turns out they ran out of change, like 10' and barely had 5's. Shit give me 1's. I don't care, just let me keep dancing. I ended up with the most dances/CR in the club. I know that doesn't equate to most money, but my goal is to get my dance hustle going super strong. Overall fantastick night.
So I get out to my car and check my phone. I have messages from my uncle and my mom's nursing home. Yep, my mom died while I was in the CR. :( I felt like shit when I realized that. (Not looking for sympathy over this BTW. It was expected and she was in a lot of pain, the timing just sucked) My uncle didn't want to call the club and have me come home because I couldn't do anything at 8pm anyhow and he figured I'd become a drunk mess and try to drive home wasted. So I figure that the night was her mother's day present to me. A good night, with nice customers.

It was the end of one of those nights that you need a regular to make any money. I was poor, sober, my belly hurt from gas pains, and I had to go on stage. 2 guys sit at the stage, so I start dancing in front of them. Suddenly I feel fingers on my crotch. I turned around, slapped the guy behind me, yelled at them, and went to the DR. The bartender had a crowd so she didn't see it. Owner and DJ were outside doing a lot check (making sure there isn't a mess/ people passed out outside) so when they came in the DJ asked the doorguy, "Where's Kelly? Here set isn't over and she's missing?" Doorguy says, "Some dude grabbed her pussy so she slapped him and went into the back." DJ, "Dude, you are going to get your ass reamed for not doing anything about that." They ended up figuring the situation out, kicking the group out, and banning the dude that touched me. Appearrently I slapped the wrong guy. I don't care though, he was guilty by association.

Super slow night (customers were in the club, but no one was buying dances, lots of groups, etc.), but I still made decent money just because I kept moving and kept my energy up. You never know who will walk through that door! It's crazy...half of this job is about keeping a positive attitude during the slow parts of a shift.

I went in with a goal of $500, and left with $1000!!! Without even trying!!!! 😄😄

Thursday blew. It was dead, the customers that came it were cheap and the only guys that were spending money were drug dealers. I managed to make a little money but it fucking sucked.
Tonight was on it's way to sucking but a group of three couples that came in last month showed up, asking for me at the door. I danced for 2 hours straight, plus tips, plus guys making it rain to get attention. When 1's didn't work, they switched to $20's.
I'm paying off the last 3 months of my lease next week...

I danced for the majority of my Friday night last night with one customer. I usually try to avoid this bc of the PLs that can get clingy/start falling in love. Somehow I kept coming back to him though, and he spent about 1k on me. I added him on fb and am going to invite him to come see me at one of the other clubs I dance at.

I went in tired and bitchy and hurting because I'm having some health issues that will require minor surgery next week... On my fucking birthday. But I gave myself a pep talk on my way in. Telling myself that I'm beautiful and amazing and that I will make a lot of money. As I pulled into the parking lot that song with the line "give it to me I'm worth it" was playing. I left with over $1000 which happens rarely at my club because we only have twenty dollar dances. Dude talked to me for less than a minute before getting a dance and ended up staying in the dance room for hours. I barely even danced, just wiggled on him while he rubbed my shoulders. I made enough to cover my medical bills and the time off I'll need to take off to recover. People wonder why I believe in fate and karma. It's because things have always had a way of working out for me when I really need it!

Summer's heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere >:[
I think the top swing shift girls today left with like $100. The day shift girls were all still there at 5pm (most of them start leaving around 3).
I heard the gamut of excuses today, including my new favorite... "Do you need some company?" "Actually I'm trying to get sober..." You came to a bar to sober up. Okay dude.

I HATE excuses that don't even address the question at hand. You didn't ask him why he was there, you asked him if he wanted company. He can be there to sober up and also buy dances. But rather than simply turning down your company, he gave some bullshit excuse to avoid having to answer the question. Definitely a pet peeve of mine.

^ Yeah, he seemed relieved that I started making fun of him, like it got him off the hook.
OH and then the other thing that happened... there were 3 bouncers on (idk WHY), 2 of which are new and I really dislike, so I specifically picked the nice, veteran one to walk me out. One of the new ones follows us out. Nice Bouncer insists on taking my bag; I had made absolutely jack shit and just tipped him a few $1s, so I made a joke about "I'm not paying you enough to carry my bag", and Dumb Bouncer goes "You could pay us MORE..." I literally stopped and turned around to glare at him. He said he was kidding so fast, and hightailed it back inside. This is not the first time he's whined about $$ and girls not tipping him enough.
Nice Bouncer just went "yeah... he shouldn't say that stuff... I know it's been hard for you girls lately, I appreciate anything you can give me."
+10 to Nice Bouncer, -100000 to New Bouncer.

Hella weekend. I'm still feeling it. Should have stretched out more.
Friday was a disaster. Club was dead. Bartenders had nothing to do a half hour before close. I managed to squeeze a not horrible night.
Saturday was turning out to be just as slow. And then I sat down next to someone who looked underage. We we chatting. He was pretty drunk. His friend came back and we hit it off wonderfully (I love me some snark). So while guy 1 went up to the tip rail, we went back for a dance. And that ended up being 6. His lap was wet (I'm still praying to the stripper gods it was beer), so I almost wanted it to end right then and there. But I persevered. Over the night I talked him out of over $300. This man alone made my weekend, but I broke $400 that night, for the first time. It was wonderful. Experienced girls were walking out bored as shit, and I was making bank.
I think I strained some muscles in my thigh though.
I hate this club Ive been working in lately, its a big chain club in lots of cities and they are so strict, they make me get up on stage no matter what I tip the dj, he won't even take 100$, wtf, id be all over that if it was me. if I'm doing a dance they call me to stage and I have to leave a paying customer to go do a free stage then fine me 10-20$ for being late to the stage every time, then fine me 20 for not being naked by the 2nd song, I don't get naked on stage unless someone is making it rain lots of $$ but this club makes you. Last time I worked at this club the rent was 100 and no stage so rules changed and Idk the stage rules and nobody told me so I end up with 60$ plus fines each night just from stage, then all the workers tell me how they talk shit over there walky talkies about how I don't wanna do stage and how I am always late doing it. Floor guys/security/dj's all tell me about this. I think the one manager doesn't like me cuz he fired me about 2 years ago and now I came back and got hired by another manager cuz he was nice then now he's a dick. Ugh, IDK what to do about these ppl I hate strip club managers/workers with a weird power complex. Theres no way to make them like you it seems and I always end up getting fired from these types of ppl and I don't get it cuz in any other city, the managers/owners love to see me, they get happy and when I come to town and welcome me back n shit, even offer free houses for me to come into town, but no not this city, all the clubs here are like that and it sucks.

I worked a long ass shift today...and I mean 11:30 am to 2:00 am (granted with a 1.5 hour break for dinner). I came in in the morning as a favor for the manager...no one showed up until 1 pm, and no one wanted dances from any of us girls until about 3 pm. Sadly, I needed money so I stayed. For all those hours, it was only almost $300. Fucking not worth it.
Hopefully my main regular at this club will be in tomorrow like he promises, and he's always good for cash!

It was dead and the first thing I did was break a fucking shoe. What is it with me and shoes. So, I put my ballet flats on and did stage barefoot.
And, despite how slow it was, I still managed to double my average and bank.

Omg MY HAIR CAUGHT ON FIRE! Me and a custy who liked me got a booth together. All the booths have little candles on the table. I reached for something and then could just see out of the corner of my eye that my fucking hair was on fire. He tried to help my put it out, I put it out and felt a big chunk of singed hair fall into my hands. I tried not to freak and to play it off, and he like that and tipped me well. Then as soon after he left I went to check out my hair in the bathroom but I also wear 20" clip ins (my hair's about 14/15" atm) so when I got home I assessed the damage after I took the clip ins out, and was relieved that it's barely noticeable, if at all. Realllly scary though! I smelled like a bonfire... or like a hair salon that had just burned to the ground. lol.

Tonight was a "be grateful for whatever you have" night. It started well and got real cheap after midnight. I thought I'd leave with nothing but... made my average. I love how that works. I got yet another new pair of shoes and got a lot of complements. Quite a few from guys. Weird.
Some of us were in the smoking cage talking and... she shit some girls try to get away with. One told me that she was talking with another dancers regular at another club. He comes in, sits with her and never buys dances, but pays her a shitton. Turns out that she fucks him after they leave. The shitton of money is for... ehem... services. She's using the club to process credit cards for her prostitution. Clever as fuck, but if she ever shows up at my good club... that will not end well. One of the DJ's from the new club I stopped wasting my time with came in. It was so cool to see him!
The shitty DJ is on his way out. I was just getting in and the manager asked the DJ to turn the music down a little. Apparently he's had to bitch at the other DJ repeatedly and, at one point, threatened to fire him. While I hate to see someone lose their job, this is not the right club for him.
My stage show is getting better. I've learned a few new tricks that keep it from being a pain in my ass. I've toned up a lot and dropped the couple pounds I've been annoyed over and it kinda came in handy. There was a fight as we were closing and the bathroom was the first place I could get to safely. And I'm glad I ducked in there, because a waitress was washing her hands, completely unaware. So, I stood up against the door. Someone body slammed it and... the door didn't move. These were BIG guys. Like 250-300 pounds. I have damn strong legs!

It started off poppin': like, I was slipping on the dollar bills all over my stage. Went to this young guy at the bar, who ended up spending a couple hundred on me. Of course, when I got done with him, it was back to just the cheap looky-loo Mexicans >:[ I am very pleased and grateful that I paid my house and tip outs from stage tips, and made all my $$ from one guy though.
Decided I'd rather go home and work a few hours today to make up for leaving after 2 hours, than suffer through that crowd and the pissy night DJ/managers.

This past month has been really slow. I've been hearing from other dancers that its been bad everywhere this month in my city, even the clubs that are usually packed have been dead. Last month was my most profitable month ever in my stripping career. This month is my least profitable month ever, I made more money as a newbie. At least as a newbie I was more appreciative, but now that I know what is possible its hard not to feel like I am losing money. I try to motivate myself and come into the club with good energy, be appreciative of every single dollar I make, but its so damn hard to keep my attitude up when I barely pull in $100 on a friday. All I can do is do the math and realize that I'm still making $20 an hour at least and try to be grateful.
My favorite regular is supposed to come in on Sunday so hopefully he will be my saving grace. I just need ONE $500+ night to get my attitude and confidence back up and then I'll be able to up my average take home.

^ I've been hearing this a lot more too. I have enough regulars that I can count on a base income, but a lot of girls who usually do well are suffering. The layout of May just sucks, especially this year. Mother's Day, Memorial Day and June 1st falling on a Monday makes for three shitty weekends.
It will get better. You will have that night when the club is just packed with money and it's all yours.

kirakonstantin
05-31-2015, 03:14 AM
Yeah, this was the worst weekend I can remember for a long time. The club was empty when a I got there. Seriously... empty. We got a good crowd going but it was a ghetto party crowd and they weren't really even tipping. Lots of asshole civilian pussy. One gave me the finger while I was onstage because her boyfriend was watching me. Thankfully the bouncer handled it before I had a chance. Another dancer saw it and RAN to get the bouncer, because she knew I was ready to kill someone.
Most girls were. I talked a few girls out of violence, but we did decide that the extras girls are gone and a crew of us are going to force them out before they have a chance to fuck in our summer. We've already dealt with a lot of them, but there are still a few that just won't leave and a few that we want to make sure don't come back.
I fell off the pole about halfway through the night, during an inversion, because everything was slick with oil or lotion from some bitch. I spared my head but cracked the bony part my my ankle hard enough to leave a huge mark. My legs are a black and blue mess right now, to the point that I need to spray tan before I can work.
I did ok, moneywise, but I'm just fed up with the shit crowds. My big regular will be back in town on Tuesday, so I know it'll get better, but... I'm just frustrated as fuck right now.

I earned every dollar of my $$ last night. It was ALL in $10 dances and stage tips. I went on stage 7 times, one of which was a 4 song set.
Like, everybody and their brother was in there last night. TONS of guys that normally buy dances from me. Last night they just all had bullshit excuses or were trying to pawn me off on some other guy... "I think that guy wants to give you some money", "or else just looking really uncomfortable when they knew I was going to broach the subject of dances. My one guy that normally goes to VIP and tips $60 on top of his dances? Went with his other regular girl, ran out of time for me since he had to leave at a certain time, and literally started avoiding eye contact with me while saying he had to go. That annoyed and stung a little for some reason.
I almost punched this stupid drunk golfer guy that always comes in. He's generally a 50/50 tossup if he'll go to VIP or not. He's always trying to put his hands on me while talking, and has this annoying habit of kissing me on the head when he leaves. I HATE it and I'm going to start standing a foot away from him. He's giving me "Oh we'll go if this girl I've already been with blows me off again. I went to QuikTrip just to get more $$ out to go with her again." Who the fuck drives 3 miles down the road to avoid the ATM fee? Really? But this bitch, who I've never even seen before, and has to be 45 and definitely looks it (no offense to 40+ ladies, but seriously when you're so wrinkled you are obviously somebody's grandma... ugh), saunters up to him, gives me this pitying look, and takes him off to VIP.
I hate girls like that, that apparently think I'm meek enough that they can do that. I've had night shift girls try that shit before and luckily the customers make it plain they're not interested, but IT'S FUCKING RUDE.
I mean, I guess it's different bc she knew he wanted to come back for her, but still! I don't go up to people, even when I know they're waiting for me, if they're talking to another girl. I wait for them to get rid of that other girl.
My left ankle hurts like a motherfucker, I think it buckled outward (so the sole of my foot pointed inward at a 90* angle).
I have this weird love-hate relationship with one of my work friends... Some days her existence really pisses me off, because she allows pussy touching and I've seen her grab dicks while the guy is stage tipping her, and it makes me both angry that she's contributing to the high contact problem, and sad because she's so pretty and has a good personality and shouldn't have to do that shit. She also has annoying habits of snorting Percocet off the DR counter, counting her money in front of people, and a daily refrain of "If they're not making at least $50 an hour, these girls should just quit."
Other days, like yesterday, I love her to death and have a girl-crush on her, and we just goof around all day or spend the slow times talking about OTC stuff. She told me all about her addict father yesterday, and coupled with that she'd come in on Friday crying about some asshole guy that played her and how they always do, I felt a little less pissy and judgy towards her annoying aspects.
I know you're really not supposed to be friends with other girls, and I've never really even had any stripper friends before now, except one girl at my last club, but I'm kind of liking having them at this club. Most of them have been working there for years and years, and they seem to be pretty normal... they're also all between 26-36, so they're over the party thing and are down to earth. Knock on wood that they don't turn out insane.

Indy race was last weekend. For some reason the club was dead. I've never seen it so bad on a race weekend. It was rough if you didn't have a regular, and I don't have reliable guys to come in.
I have a customer from N Dakota that comes in when he is in the area visiting family. He's a relatively easy guy to deal with and spends/ tips me well. One of the other girls sat with him for a few minutes (she thought I was leaving him) while I was in the bathroom before we went of a CR. She spilled an entire glass of wine in his lap. He said it was an accident, she said it was an accident. I'm not sure if I believe it, but whatever. He did the CR because he didn't want to disappoint "his viking princess". But he left after that because he couldn't really enjoy the room with wet pants. :( It was just that kind of night.

Where do I even begin? I can finally admit that racism is alive and well in the industry. As a biracial femme, I will encounter less but even I will be limited by the "black girl quota". I've been turned down from two dives because they were "too slow" and then the next day they'll hire someone who isn't black... Okay.
So at my current club, my pretty dark skinned friend tried to get hired. When she called the day before they were hiring. But when she came in they said that the manager was "too busy". Now when I went to the back he clearly was NOT busy!! The crazy thing is I have advised two Caucasian SWers to audition and they've gotten in no problem. I'm just shocked, I never realized that the black girl quota was true I feel fortunate that I've usually been able to break through it. I just couldn't help looking around the club that night disgusted because my friend looked better than half the Gil's there!!!
Anyway I've also discovered that if I EVER do a strip trip with a partner she has to be a planner and she needs to have her own back up plan if we cant get hired at the same places. Because I'm always going to go to the club where I can make the most money.
Lastly, I'm ready to start selling rooms. I'm tired of selling dances but at my club we get no cut from selling the room so I'm not interested lol. Like that's money that could be going in my pocket. I see the rooms getting sold but I'm not sure what the girls are saying to get paid. I would ask but that seems like a bad idea lol.

Last summer I wasn't even remotely worried about the dip in money. This year, I am, because this has been horrible lately... like, $30 shifts... Night girls coming in at 3pm, working 11 hour doubles to make $300.
I made enough to live on Friday night, but it's super stressful knowing that your entire earning potential in the summer is basically tied to 3 nights a week, because the other 4 nights aren't even worth risking the gas money to drive to the club.

Girl, you should travel dance. Just work a solid week out of every month at some place that isn't AZ. With your Arizona hustle, I feel like you'd kill it. You're well-known on here and have contributed significantly to our community - ask if another SWer who is working in a good-money club could PM you with the details, find a cheap plane ticket, and hustle your ass off for 5 shifts. You'd probably make your travel money back the first night, and then you'd have four nights of profit. Just a thought!

^ I've been considering it, but I just don't know where I'd want to go! I'm not a big fan of flying into a city alone and not having my car, and most of the drivable destinations are equally as crappy as Phx. Part of me is also just a big 'fraidy cat, that always thinks worst case scenario ("What if I spend $400 in expenses and don't make it back?!") or thinks my own hustle isn't up to par *colossal eye roll at self*
We were considering taking a massive road trip in the summer anyway; maybe I will try to turn it into a strip-trip.

AZ is so tough because you're in the middle of fucking nowhere. I can't tell you how many times I'd pull up google maps while I was there, just to see how hopelessly landlocked we were. You think that AZ is close to a few things until you look at a map and realize that, aside from LV and San Diego (which are similarly terrible in the summer), you're pretty much fucked unless you jump on a plane.

I went in last night out of necessity and was expecting to make ! 100, tops. I averaged more than that per hour, which was cool. Except that I got ripped off for $100 at the end of the night. Dude's credit card was declined, he'd already hit his ATM limit for the day and... as hard as the club tried to get us our money, it didn't happen. We have his info and they'll keep trying. It was a private room with one guy and four dancers, so it's not like I was putting in much effort and the club was empty, so I'd have just been chilling anyway.

Yeah it's horrible, I worked 12 hours, almost 13 to make $260 today. Would have almost left with only $100 if I didn't approach this guy who just walked in. Weekends are good, I still have my Saturday but it's so hard to get a Thursday or Friday because everyone's asking for them right now since it's so quiet during the week in the day and evening.
I try to remind myself that I would have needed to work 20 hours to make that much with my previous vanilla job but $260 for 12 hours stripping is not great. I am tired of working doubles too but this job is so unpredictable, last week it was great during week days and sucked during the evening, but this week if I had only worked during the day on Tuesday I would have left with $0.

That's the key line of thought for me whenever I hit a slow shift.
"Would I prefer to work 20 hours in a normal job to make this amount of money?" If the answer is "yes" and you're making that amount consistently (which I know isn't the case for you), then that's usually a good sign that it's time to try vanilla work out for a while.

All I gotta say is THANK GOD for the last hour!!! Around 11, I was saying how glad I'd be to leave with 200! Walked out with 340, thanks to the last hour and someone spending money on me!! Then I realized he jipped me $80 >=[ but, I'm glad I didn't walk out with the 120 I had since like, 12. Lol

Sucked. Not only was my club a ghost town, but I had to follow a girl the entire night completely lacking any stripper etiquette. She sat on my stage still chatting with customers through half of my first song while I politely waited for her to get off, trying not to lose my cool. (This happened a couple times throughout the night) She then proceeded to go out on to the floor and stand on top of one of the chairs at a table and dance.

I was excited to see that there were only 6 of us working last night. Until I realized I was at -$6 at midnight. The DJ and I have come to an agreement. If it is ever dead like it was last night, I'm going on stage at 1:30 and dancing to King Missle's "Detachable Penis". Hopefully the 3 customers in the club won't understand our humor and decide to leave.

Dead - no customers in the club - for the first 2+ hours of my five-hour shift.
Somehow walked with an average of $100/hour. Like...how?? does that happen. Every night that I make money, it feels like I'm just getting 'lucky.' I guess it takes a lot of skill to be lucky consistently.
