You're one of the few on here who shares on both your good and bad days. Thank goodness for people like you! Gives newbies a much more accurate idea of the highs and lows of long-term dancing. And offers comfort to the veterans on here as well!

Girl please, it ain't altruistic... I gotta bitch to someone :D

I worked for 5 hours and made $60. There were people, but they were all being cheap.

So weird how the place can be "busy" but I don't make anything, and then on days when it's "dead" I walk out with $600...

Omg I worked all week mon-fri and it was extremely slow like each day! I think July just sucks out here. The weeks before that had been good but all of a sudden this week was terrible. I'm working all week again starting tomorrow so hopefully it picks back up at least a little bit. I've got some financial goals to make and a slow club is not helping!

Had my best shift in maybe 5 months yesterday. I cleared $600 and I was so happy. This spring and summer have been so brutal. I've had many shifts where it's hard to even make $60 and I pay about $60 for house fees and tip out all together :( are all my old rich men just scared about the election?

I made decent money, but was paid mostly in club cash, and the poor young guy who was my main source of income for the night was shaking so bad from sticker shock and sexual frustration, I was worried he might fall over. It left me feeling guilty, which has never happened before. My manager was a fucking dick at the end of the night. He also accused me of missing stage when I know I didn't. I had just gotten off stage, but our automatic DJ has been buggy lately. I wore little makeup and was told I look like a "soccer mom." I changed and put on more makeup didn't get that comment again, but still felt pretty shitty. Still trying to get over last night's bullshit. Luckily I'm not going in again until Sunday.

Finally a good night. Phew.

Also... dear other dancer: Yes, my regular did buy dances from you before. Yes, I did 'let' you go to VIP with him last week. Yes, he does have a group of us that are his favorites and yes, we will hang out together and all get along and share, and yes, we do let new girls in sometimes.
However, we ladies DO think you are weird, and you ARE in fact interrupting his and my conversation. The fact that neither of us are making eye contact with you, while you are draping yourself on him, coupled with him countering your hustle with suggesting we all just have a drink, should be hint enough for you to stop trying to get dances. He is paying me to drink with him and hang out and your intense hustling is killing the vibe.

Fucking weird situation. This girl is getting annoying... He is AWFUL at saying no, it's a running joke like in that movie where the guy is teaching the girl to say 'no'. Most girls he will let me/his other dancer friend run off. This one, he enjoys getting dances from, so I don't... but he doesn't know how to nicely say no without permanently getting rid of her, he doesn't want to set a precedent for her that she can start being paid to hang out, and he also doesn't want to irritate me... so it becomes this awkward thing where I have to like give them permission. She literally won't leave until she gets $$.
I eventually directed them to go do dances and got up to hustle the crowd so she'd get some money and go away. He only got a few but then I had disappeared with another guy, so I think he thought I had ditched him, and ended up texting me that he was sorry for going with her. Chick came back AGAIN an hour later and tried twice for more, even commented that she felt she was making it awkward... well yeah, when you interrupt a conversation trying to be funny mimicking a sound, it tends to be awkward. I think he's soured on her now at least.

Was a slow and crappy night with cheap customers, had problems right from the start with some Mexican guy who wanted a refund for some stupid reason. Got attacked by a group of foreign men and was spit on and got a gash on my face (bouncers are idiots at this club), still cleared 600+ fortunately so I can at least pay some of my bills!
Damn summer months really do suck lol.

My last shift was my 3rd time back at the club... and I remembered why I hate Fridays. So many noob customers who have no idea how much dances cost. But I did dance for some hot college guys, and gave one of them their first ever lapdance. XD

Also, had to do two-for-one specials for the first time in years. Bleh.

And the creepy older DJ has been kissing my ass recently, I think he's fishing for tips. lol

Gotta love reconnecting with strip club shadiness, haha.

^ JFC, physical injury inflicted by other people should NOT 'come with the territory'. Fuck that club.

My last shift... I got waved down by a black guy. Normally I will not approach them (I'm not racist, calm down, I just know they literally never buy dances from me... literally TWO have only ever gotten a dance from me). It was hella dead so I sat with him. He was trying way too hard to make me 'open up' and pretending he was 'relatable' cause he was young... Ugh. Finally he goes into "Would you ever go on a date from here", blah blah blah, and after a short time of that he went "Well I got a trick who will pay $800". I laughed at him and left.
Gotta say, that's the first time anyone's tried to do the pimp thing on me :rotfl:

My last shift I left in the red again. There were 40 girls and 5 customers until 3am, which was when I was ready to get the f**k out of there. I canceled all my shifts until I lose enough weight to go to a good club, because hell will freeze over before I pay a babysitter and house fee to show people my pussy for 6 hours and end up coming out of pocket for it.

i'm really nervous to go back to a certain club tonight. i worked an especially long shift there last week, forgot to order food before the kitchen closed and by 3am i was pretty drunk. i did a VIP with a guy, he paid me for half an hour (what we agreed upon). i remember looking at my phone when we went in and seeing the time. he was difficult (kept trying to finger me) and there was an issue with the credit card reader so the waitress had to keep coming back. i was dancing intermittently the whole time. at one point it had been almost an hour since i sat down with him, i was wasted and exhausted the waitress wasn't coming back (they do that a lot), but i was pretty positive time was up. i told molesty drunk guy i'd be right back. looked for waitress but couldn't find her, my ride texted they were there to pick me up.. and so in my drunken state decided to just tip out the DJ and manager and peace out. never went back to the guy. who knows how long he waited for me to come back? i'm afraid he complained and i'm going to be in trouble. but hopefully he didn't or at least they will be willing to look at the cameras because i'm 100% sure i was in there with him for actually much longer than he paid for. while i don't necessarily think he was deserving of a goodbye, i definitely handled the situation wrong and am regretful and anxious to go back in ugghhh

Working at one of my favorite clubs this week, but I still always get anxiety about working there because it's so nice and their girls are typically really hot and they have high sales expectations. Which I always exceed (I'm already past the number of dances they expect for the whole week and have worked Mon-Wed) but still get stressed out about it.

I do love the club though- the lineup gets little gift bags with candy and body spray and stuff at the beginning of the week, the managers are always checking in to see how your week is and if there is anything you need/suggestions you have, and we have a porter that takes care of all our stage stuff (picking up tips and costumes so we can just get right back to hustling, waiting with water when we get off stage) so we just feel super appreciated the whole time. Oh and doormen are amazing. One told me last night that if a guy tries to get handsy in the back they actually get the guy arrested for sexual assault (because they completely have grounds to do so) which is probably part of the reason they have virtually no problems there. Also a nice change from clubs where you dance for a grabby guy and the club gets mad at you for "letting guys touch you" ffs

There was one club in the city where regardless of how many dances I sold and how kickass my shows were, I was perpetually worst spot on the lineup, so coming to this club and typically being right behind the feature spot is a big change. One of the managers also told me last night that they would really like to see me back here more, so felt awesome about that.

Sadly though one of the really sweet girls on the lineup got fired last night, but she is a bigger girl so technically not up to their standards. It is good to see that they do enforce their own rules, and even though the agency is so short of girls right now that they have no replacement to send for the week, they still made the decision to run one girl short.

An ex client of mine showed up after 4 months. Was following me around the club saying he needs to talk to me. I told him hes making me uncomfortable and he finally left. I'm definitely not taking his bad breath + b.o + negging me back. So not worth the money.

Welp, experienced my first true August night tonight-- at one point I was certain I would leave in the red, but my night was saved at the 11th hour by a respectful guy who just wanted to relax with a bunch of topless grindy cuddles after his tough work week. Happy to oblige!

New girl started tonight, I've never seen a look like hers before. She was all Shirley Temple beauty pageant glamour on top, but her booty was just... utterly mesmerising. Seriously, I've never seen a bod like that before; me and my sheltered showgirl stripper self would never survive in an urban club, lol!! So she was working it on stage and doing these tricks and making it clap SO LOUD (I didn't even know that level of clapping was possible! TIL), and the hostesses were making the most awful comments about her, totally meangirl-ing and sipping on the haterade. Meanwhile I'm over here completely hypnotised by her booty skillz and watching her clean UP with the similarly hypnotised custies. Why do women cut each other down like that, when we could lift each other up? Le sigh. Anyway, mad props to you, Shirley McBooty :thumbsup:

^Totally agree about being positive... I love it when dancers compliment each other and help each other out. And LOL, Shirley McBooty!! XD

My last shift, there were very few customers and I went down the line of every single one of them, getting turned down for dances. The 5th guy finally bought a couple, and then took me to the champagne room for an hour and a half. My first dance of the night spent $900 on me, out of which I made $600. Woo!!!

Last night was slow with a million girls working and then finally got busy later on, but customer quality was so low. Me and a friend ended up giving up and just sitting and chatting about how the night was a total write off, tomorrow is a new day etc

And then Stripper Jesus took the wheel and two brand new guys came in and asked if they could sit with us, and after about 5 mins of chatting and them doing a couple shots, they bought us out for what was left of the night. So ended up not being so bad after all.

I wouldn't call him a "regular" but their is a customer who has come in to see me the past few weeks every time I have a shift- only me. He's the type of customer who you can sit with and dance whenever you feel like it and in the end he asks you how much he owes you, you give him a number and he pays it plus tips very well. It's "guaranteed" money whenever I see him come in to the club which is nice especially when it's slow.

On my last shift I was more relaxed than I usually am with him- probably getting too comfortable with the customer because we usually talk a lot and the divider between "stripper" and the real me started to fade. I let my guard down and wasn't focused on the money because I'm use to the money coming too easy from him. Mistake #1.

Anyway when I was talking with him he pays me for the (hour?) we spent together and said he needed a break (which is normal for him to say) and for me to come right back. Usually we spend a few hours together. I come back to him after ten minutes and see he's with another girl- next thing you know they go to the back room together. I felt very hurt. I thought he and I at least had a friendship? Or maybe it was just me. I let my guard down and trusted him when he told me to come back. I was angry for about 15 minutes (wasted time) just watching the girl dance on him I felt like she was taking MY money.

As soon as they are finishing up a short mexican comes up to me begging for a dance. Huh? Turns out he has a fetish for black women. He ends up taking me to VIP with extra dances afterwards. I didn't even have to try- it was all his idea (I was still upset and wasn't really in my "stripper mode") Crazy how quickly another customer will see the value in you. And fuck the other guy for lying to me. He could have just been honest and told me he wanted a different girl so I wouldn't look like an idiot searching for him in the club. I'm mad at myself for letting my guard down with him. From now on I am completely dissociating myself from customers no matter how attractive, flattering, or nice they are which usually I am great at doing. I got too comfortable with him- he probably sensed it.

So not only do we get gift bags at the beginning of the week at this club, we got thank you cards with our paycheck at the end of the week. So many nice little things that make you feel appreciated. Will definitely book there more often.

Sunday night was last shift, pretty quiet as it was Sunday, basically one group of guys for most of the night. After I got off stage and said hi one of them declared me "the Connor McDavid of stripping" which was pretty awesome lol.

And now a whole week off.

Yup basically the past year has been an influx of dancers from San Antonio and Dallas and Cuba. I'm a day shift dancer so I mostly rely on regulars, but the upcoming election has scared a lot of my dudes off. I've been forced to work night shifts that I hate to make any money. We'll have 30 girls on a week night with 5 customers, where 2 years ago we had 15 girls and the club was full of customers.

My club has been pulling teeth this week. Not enough customers and a shit ton of girls. I'm wondering if it's bc of the terror threats in the city, that these men don't wanna go out. Not that I blame them. Also, these stupid clubs keep hiring by the boat loads. As if 90 to 100 girls isn't enough.

Some customer that I hadn't seen in a few years called me over to him just to say, 'oh you're still here? You are older than most here, I know you're not twenty years old but you make up for it by having all this experience don't you?' while he was smiling all smugly. Ugh, why do some customers have to comment on my age? Really irritates me. I am very sensitive about my age and it pretty much ruins my day when customers comment on it.

This week was my first time dancing with a period and wtf, I am doing so much better. For the past couple months, it felt like everyone was getting dances but me and I came out with $20-$60 a night, but start my period and suddenly all the customers are grabbing me or saying yes even during slow nights. I should dance more often on my periods, hope this is a thing for me.

I work at a club where dances are $5 and VIP is $25 and I'm fucking sick of it. On a good day I'm leaving with $400 and a bad day I'm leaving with $30. I have to put in so much work to make money- dance after dance for only $5 it fucking sucks I'm sick of it. Also the club always has problems with gang violence. Yesterday someone's car caught fire and exploded in the parking lot luckily the security moved my car. Yesterday was the last straw for me. This week I'm auditioning at a club where dances are $20 and VIP starts at $200-$400. I'm ready to work at a high end club. I also feel like I'm at an advantage because I've learned how to hustle very well to make my money so if I can do it at a $5 club leaving with $400 then I can damn well do it at a $20 club.

Then after the club closed she started dancing on stage for him. And that was my cue to be out.

My last shift was a bust. Went in too late, no customers and tons of girls.

Buuut... the one dancer I have a total girlcrush on was on stage with me, and I got to watch her spin on the pole from below. OMFG. I am such a wannabe lesbian.

And I wound up onstage with another girl who had my exact same knee socks and an almost identical outfit. Twin party. XD

AND we had two girls on the same pole at one point. Best thing I have seen in a long time.

This really cool dancer at work gathered 1s from various customers and made it rain on me, so I returned the favor. That was cool. And she and another customer praised me for my polework, saying I was "the best". That was really uplifting and made me feel appreciated. So sweet of them.

Tiring but nice day.

Stripper bad days are inherently more bizarre than other jobs.

Office work friend: "Oh I had a bad day, this lady yelled at me on the phone & I have soooo much paperwork to finish"
Me: "That sucks... My regular gave me half as much as normal for no apparent reason, I got my boob bitten, and then some asshole sat there telling me about his bachelor party where he got a blow job at basically an orgy, and it made me feel sick on behalf of his poor bride-to-be".

Yep, that was tonight. Some asshole seriously did lunge a foot and a half forward to bite my nipple. I yelled at him but was barely containing the urge to break his nose. It hurt so fucking bad, I almost cried. He bailed out pretty fast so I didn't get management involved, but I know had I done anything more *I* would have gotten the lecture. Night manager basically blames the girls for everything. Ugh.

Shit was bad all around. Two girls got stuff stolen tonight, a phone and a clutch with her shift's money. When I left, girls were jokingly dumping out their clutches saying "Oh yeah, I have $6! Boo ya!" and groups of 4-5 were sitting around on the floor chatting. Ugh.

Big bachelor party came in and made my night. Danced pretty much nonstop for almost two hours, working the group and hopping from lap to lap and back again, and I was exhaaauuuuusted by the time their bus came round to take them home. But they were so much fun, just easygoing dudes with money and a sense of humour, good tippers, and really respectful. And I didn't get sexually assaulted! Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!

At the back of my bus home, there was a flock of drag queens loudly debriefing after what had apparently been a very eventful night out. So. Much. Drama. Their storytelling outdid any stripper dressing room conversation I've ever heard. It amuses me to think that we could be each other's spirit animals-- drag queens + strippers = <3 4eva

So, I haven't been to my club in a month, and I came back last night. I thought I was ready to retire, since I've been working so much OT at my vanilla job (and to be honest, after working 12 HR days, I'm exhausted and don't want to go to the club after work until 2 am to wake up at 6-7 am, depending on when I schedule OT in the morning). But then it hit me... I had some unexpected expenses that I put on my credit card, which sucks because I paid that stupid thing off, and now I'm putting charges on that again and I never had to do that when I was dancing. I have some car repairs that I have to pay for tomorrow, so I went back last night because I didn't want to rack up anymore charges on the credit card. I'm so glad I did! I made a modest amount, nothing to brag about, but it just reminded me of how dancing made life so much easier on me financially. Maybe I just got used to dancing money, but I never hated the "rent check" like I do now while I was dancing. I never had that thought of "well I can go out, but I can only spend x amount because I need to pay x, y, and z with this paycheck." So it made me think, why should I have to struggle? Sure, I should adjust my spending to my straigh job paycheck, but why? Why add that extra stress? Last night just reminded me that I have no business to quit right now. It was really good to be back! Yeah, there was that typical guy who kept asking me to go back to his hotel room after work, but the other guys were nice and respectful, and the managers and other girls I'm cool with were happy to see me. I made enough to pay my car maintanence (I do have to start over with my savings, because I have to use that too. There was not much in there - i just started saving again, but I guess that's what it's there for? But I don't want to rack up credit card debt and get back to where I was before paying that shit off!) and I'm just like, shit, I guess I'm un-retired! ��

i would have gone back to the club tonight, but my poor legs are hurting! Lol I just HAD to start my first night back with my tall 9" shoes, didn't I?::) LOL
