Most of the customers were annoying last day shift. One guy tipped me $10 to sit down with him and then stopped tipping yet kept waving a $20 in my face until I decided to leave. Another guy was a total time waster, kept calling me over but didn’t want to tip/buy dances and just expected the dancers to entertain him for free by promising “he would eventually pay later”. One group of guys were super grabby to the point where one guy held me down, pinning me against him while full on grabbing both of my boobs, and would pull me back down when I tried getting up. The manager walked by while this was happening and instead I got in trouble for it. I stayed for night shift, which was better. It was chill and easy to sell dances.
I haven’t worked in five days. I’m glad I reached my monthly goal and much more. My feet had also been hurting so taking a week off from wearing heels was much needed.

I had a good time my last shift! I danced for a customer whose wife of nearly 60 years passed after a battle with ALS--very sad, but I like to think we offer some minor source of comfort or entertainment for our widow(er) clientele. I've had a headache for several days straight but this was a distracting shift. No customers who were assholes, either! Made enough for new boots & panties, presents for my kid and her best friend, and nice groceries. It was just one of those really nice shifts.

So... I'm back. Not going to go into details but someday I'll get it through my thick skull that trusting people is a bad idea. Especially family. The good part about this is that I used my hiatus from dancing to quit smoking. Never thought I could do it but I haven't smoked in almost 3 months. I've also lost 10 pounds and am back to how I looked when I started dancing so many years ago. I also rode out what sounds like a really shitty summer doing something other than dancing.
Most of my shifts have been decent. Last night was just weirdos. It was slow and I was bored, so I was just sitting on a couch. This guy sits uncomfortably close, fumbles around with his wallet and asks me if I want to do VIP dances. Like I'm going to say no... We get up there, I start dancing and he has a thousand yard stare and wet pants. I don't know why they're wet and he smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I couldn't smell anything else. Two airdances later, he wanders away.
Then there was this guy who just wanted me to stand there and let him "pose" me. Like, I was some kind of human Barbie doll. Fucking weird but his money was just as green as every body else's.
Plenty of nice customers that I enjoyed dancing for but the weirdos were so weird that it reminded my why I'm in college and working so fucking hard to get into grad school. I literally bring my Calc 2 homework to work with me and do problems when it's slow.
There's a dancer that I've always really liked. She's just really sweet and bubbly. She had a REALLY good night and I'm happy for her. She was like me back when I could hustle the fuck out of a room.
Another dancer... What a fucking mess. She got called out by management because she was letting customers feel her up and she wasn't even dancing. Seriously, these guys were bending her over and dry humping her without even paying anything. WTF! She ended up latching on to one of them, got fully naked (it's a topless club) in the VIP and was doing the dirty. He was waiting for her as I was leaving. This isn't the first time this has happened. The sucky part... We know her husband and he's a REALLY nice guy. She's gotten caught trying to cheat on him before and... Bitch, just leave him if you want to sleep around like that.
So... Nothing has changed except for me.

Last night was balls but it was also day 1 of a 5 day stretch, and part of it being balls was my own lack of trying so I’m not upset about it. I also only had one drink so I’m happy about that!! I’ve been drinking more at work than I would like to. I’m never sloppy and I always handle myself really well, I just don’t love drinking. I’ve probably drank more in the last 5 months dancing than I did the previous two years combined.

It was really a dreadful Saturday, but I managed to keep up a great mood and upbeat energy to the bitter end..

My period started during my shift. I swear it starts every time I wear my silver, sequined thong. That thong is the periodmaker.
I've joked before that for women who are praying for their periods, it's a good psychological trick to wear a nice pair of new underwear.

Made slightly over my (modest, slow summer) goal ALL FROM STAGE TIPS. Was sort of bummed I didn't sell any dances, because I did try, but it was cool to still meet my goal just from stage. I'm grateful to be at a club where that's possible.
I also ate an edible about two hours before my shift ended, and I think I'm going to do that again. It helped me work longer than the six-hour minimum. Usually I'm super over it and ready to leave after six hours. But I was all happy and chatty because I was super high and stuck around longer than I otherwise would have.
Be careful, bb! You know that that's a slippery slope. I won't patronize you with any more than that. You're incredibly intelligent and aware.. ♡

First of all, I just wanted to say that I love this thread and when I get home from work, I read a couple random pages of it before I go to bed. It makes me feel like i'm decompressing with people who understand.
I had my third shift ever last night and the job really is just getting easier and better. I'm finding that I really love a lot of things about it, and the intimate aspect of the lap dances really doesn't bother me anymore. I'm so focused on making my lapdance a performance that will get a big tip that I don't get in my head about the intimacy of it. And I've gotten so good at telling guys what they can and can't do. I did have one guy decide not to get a lap dance after I told him that it costs $20 extra to touch me, but whatever. You can't touch my boobs for $10, it's not happening. Last night was pretty dead at my club - so many girls showed up and for a long time there were like three girls per customer. I ended up finding three different guys throughout the course of the night who bought several dances from me and tipped me well for my time and they really made my night awesome. The kind of respectful, fun customers that are a breeze to dance for. And then I danced for some weirdos too, but whatever. Nothing was particularly bad. I did have one guy who told me he was a pimp and that I'm the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and bla bla and I honestly just laughed and said there's a zero percent chance of anyone ever pimping me out and that he should tip me for the time I spent listening to him say that and he did give me the rest of his ones. I'm a very confident person in my normal life and I was at about 50% of my normal confidence my first day of work, so it's been nice to see over the last two shifts that I'm now just as confident in the club as I am outside of it. I can tell when guys want a dance from me, and I tell them I know they want one, and I just start leading them by the hand and they go for it. I only made about $300, but I'm pretty sure I was the second highest earner of the night. Sometimes I think I need to find a busier club, or one that has a real VIP/CR.
I'm so grateful for SW, which has cut the learning curve of this job down so much for me.

Tonight sucked. Shitty customers, dead club, lots of blah. I made money but it was boring. I also did some remodeling work on my house yesterday, so my legs are sore and I have a pounding headache. No bueno.
I had a lot of time to watch people, notice things and think. I came up with some conclusions that are really quite sad but don't bother me much. They should but they don't.
Tomorrow needs to be better. It really does.

I worked Friday and Saturday night. Friday night was super weird and I can't get it out of my head. The night started off weird with some really aggressive guys. I don't know what it is about me, but a lot of guys want to pretend to choke me and stuff, or just grab me really hard. I guess it's because I'm young and blonde and sweet? I'm not sure, but when I got a few in a row it rattled me a bit, even though I'm good at setting my boundaries and not letting guys cross them.
Then I saw a guy who was with his friend. I've learned that if there are two friends at the club, one of whom is really into it and one of whom was dragged there by the friend, I always do well with the guy who was dragged there. I talk to them, make them feel comfortable, and I end up being the only girl they spend money on all night, and I get them to spend everything they have on me. So I talk to this guy a bit and then leave him alone when he makes it clear he's just there as moral support for his friend. But then he and his friend pull up seats at the tip rail when I go onstage and they tip me tons. I go back to them when I get offstage, and the reluctant guy admits that he has warmed up to me a lot. His friend buys a lap dance from me for him, so I take him up to the LD booth and after the dance is over, he buys another one. At this point we're connecting really well, he's super cute, and I know he's into me so I think I really want to spend my time with him (I especially needed the change of pace after the super aggressive guys I got at the beginning of the night). I did give dances to some other guys but I kept coming back to this guy and he'd tip me for talking to him. I can't explain it but I just really liked him. I told him that and he didn't believe me because I'm at work and I have to make the guys feel like I like them and he's not wrong, usually it's total bullshit, but it wasn't bullshit with him. I convinced him to buy some more dances with me and PLEASE don't yell at me but we ended up making out. I am the opposite of an extras girl, I don't do that kind of thing, and I honestly haven't made out with anyone besides my girlfriend in 3 years. (We are allowed to kiss other people in my relationship, it just hadn't actually happened yet.) He and his friend stayed a bit longer but they ran out of money and I had to do dances with other people so then they left. They said they'll come back sometime and see me but I don't know if that's true. Figures the only guy I'd even think about seeing OTC is the kind of guy who would never ask.
Saturday night I spent half the night with one guy who just got dumped and wanted to talk about it a lot, which is fine because he bought multiple VIPs from me. I pretended to really like him and have a real connection with him and it just made me think that I understand why the guy from Friday didn't believe that I was being genuine with him, because it almost always is bullshit. A higher percentage of bullshit sometimes than other times. He kept asking to see me OTC as I found lots of reasons why I can't do that, and he says he'll come back. The last hour was wild, I didn't even have to sell dances because guys kept coming up to me and asking for them and they all asked me on dates. I don't know what it is about me that says "wife me up." Everyone wants to choke me or date me. Or both. This job is weird.
I feel a little lonely that I can't talk to anyone in my normal life about stripping. I do talk to my girlfriend, and I immediately told her about the guy I made out with and she was surprised that I kissed someone at work (me too) but not upset at all. So at least I have one person to talk to. But I feel weird lying to my family and friends about what I do for work. I'm also hella on my period so that's probably where all this emotion is coming from.

Not really a shift but I finally called a club near me I’ve been wanting to go to and they told me their audition requirements (which seemed like you could not work the night you apply) and went dolled up to apply this afternoon. I got hired right on the spot and they asked me if I wanted to work but I didn’t bring my bag and reiterated what I was told on phone and the manager said “oh we say that Incase you’re ugly” Butttttt I’m excited to start Friday, my current club hasnt been making me much money lately and I need a change of scenery. I’m excited and hopefully I make bank!

So I finally started at a new club Friday night and idk if it’ll be my last time or not there.. so sorry if this is long but I have no dancer friends IRL and my sort of man didn’t really offer any advice. So I was told to show up at the club at 7 and I could start but a diff manager was working and made me audition anyway (strike 1). I was kinda annoyed but whatever. There were already 20 girls at 7pm (it was deaaaaaad - no happy hour crowd which is my fave) which I found out is bc night shift starts at 7 and you get fined $5 for every half hour you’re late. Kinda dumb imo to have a bunch of girls and no customers though.
Anywho, I got hired and did paperwork and I was shook at all the things you could get fined for and if you worked Friday you had to work Saturday??? Like what?
I didn’t have to pay house fee since it was my first night but I did pay $20 security fee and the DJ tip of $10. The way it worked mostly was the club ran uptime every half hour (2 for $40 and club keeps half) and every single girl had to get on stage before the uptime song started (again I don’t like this and every girl looked miserable up there) and then you find a dance partner. I got dances all except two songs (for one I was in the back room on a satellite stage so I didn’t leave bc I didn’t know if they needed a girl on stage) so I was happy but no one wanted to get dances until up time and I can’t say I blame them.
There are two managers. One was just the silent kinda intimidating type and the other who hired me Wednesday was really friendly but during up time they literally hunt you down and make you get on stage even when you’re talking to customers trying to sell that uptime and I felt like I was being watched like a hawk and it made me feel uncomfortable. Finally I left bc I had started my period and had a yeast infection that was getting painful. I didn’t show up last night bc I was bleeding really bad. Not sure I wanna go in Wednesday and be fined for missing Saturday either.
I understand most of this stuff is prob normal to most of y’all but I’ve been so spoiled at my current club. They don’t give a shit when you come or go, what days you work, what you wear, etc. we also don’t do two for ones or uptime sand dances are $20 a song and I get to keep 100% of it (even my credit card tip at the new club had a portion taken). I also have a low ass house fee at my current club ($20 to $1, seriously). I guess I just hate having so many rules to follow and shit esp when I do this as a side hustle. I feel like a brat but I wanted to change clubs bc I got tired of the scenery and money wasn’t as good but Friday made me miss my club. Idk what to do now for next week though

Tonight was rough. Made dogshit money on a Saturday, which kinda hurts extra. I know not many girls did well so it's not entirely on me. It was weirdly dead by around 1am. My timing was off - kept going up to customers too early or too late. Had a girl bold-faced poach a customer from me. I don't know if I let it go too easily but I'm just not the type to fight over a guy and get aggressive. Had a guy ask if he could pay me for sex after the club closed. And during my first dance of the night, I told a thin-sweatpants-wearing-no-underwear-jizz-on-pants dude that I wouldn't get in his lap while he was wearing those pants and he said "I'm gonna get you fired you fucking bitch!" so that was a really fun way to start the night. I didn't feel like it fucked my energy up but the way the rest of the night went, I guess it did. I was really hoping tonight would be a good night since it's Saturday. Ugh.

Started at a new club out of my city. When I auditioned it was really lively but my first shift was super slow. All the locals head out of town that weekend it seems. I still made more than I was making at my home club and I needed a different vibe and change of scenery.

Mz_Melanie- None of what you described it normal at my club or any club that I've danced at.
Last night was just awful. It was ridiculously slow, my timing and energy was really off. Not that there was much to work with anyway. I made money but it wasn't as much as usual and... I was just off. There were also a LOT of extras going on and the VIP host is new so he didn't know how to deal with it. I did meet some really cool customers that did make my night a little brighter but... Meh. I needed to have a good night too.
I think school has changed my perspective a lot. It's so hard to go from a place where I can just be normal and where people acknowledge that I'm a valuable human being... to the club where I'm just a pair of tits and some ass. I work with a few great girls. The rest... I don't even look at them anymore. I just want nothing to do with it. I'm used to leading a double life but both sides are growing farther apart every day. Transferring over to the university is probably what's causing this. It's really different there. I'm growing a lot and doing things that I never thought I'd be able to do.
I thought about trying a different club but... There isn't much out there anymore. I'm still making money at my club, even though my contempt for the place is obvious. I need to find a way to mask my shitty attitude until I can land a research job that pays enough to live on.
I also need to stretch and work on building my core strength. 5 hours of dancing is straight up painful.

Super duper slow.
Somehow I ended up in some nonsensical drama between a regular & another girl? Wtf? He invited her to dinner (he claims she actually went, she says it was just an invitation). She's been avoiding him because he was getting really clingy, so I guess she told him that she got suspended for 2 weeks because of it, so that he'd stop bugging her about it. Now he's texting me that he's 'very disappointed' in me and a third girl, because we told management about the invitation. We didn't say shit to management and being asked to dinner is not something you get suspended for. Good Lord.
This is why regulars have shelf lives, they always start some ridiculousness. He'll probably just stop coming in, but I don't even want to deal with it so I may go tell management to stop letting him in. Eurgh.

The new, bad club sounds corporate. Is it a chain? They're notorious for having tons of rules and micromanaging dancers (so much for strippers being independent contractors).

^I just don't do well at micro managed clubs. I'm able to get hired but unable to stay because something in my brain just doesn't allow me to be micro managed like that and I didn't get into this lifestyle to put up with that bs. Can't stand clubs with dance specials/everyone gotta go on stage before those etc etc. Fuck all that. I'd maybe do if it's a big money club but for normal stripper money no.

Wow tonight was so dead. Got to work around 10pm, there were 25 girls and two customers. It was pretty much that slow all night. At one point there were five customers and management made us run a 3 for 1 showcase, where we all walk out and are required to try and sell a dance to everyone there and can't leave the floor for ten minutes. The flood of girls so overwhelmed these three customers who were there together that they got up and left.
For a large portion of the night, the only customers there were regulars who aren't attracted to me and never buy dances from me. I still tried to sell them but I have to accept that these dudes are just not into me. They only like really skinny girls. Then a guy came in and I talked to him for a bit and tried to sell him but then he only bought dances from girls with big boobs. It didn't feel great to be too flat and too fat for the guys tonight. (And I'm a size 4 and natural 32D - not even very fat or flat. But when I'm up against 100 pound girls and girls with big BAs... I am.) Finally in the last hour, a guy came in who perfectly fits my customer profile. 34, white, lawyer, going through a hard time. Showed me pictures of his baby and bought three dances from me and tipped well. He was honestly great to dance for and without him my night would have sucked completely. As it is, I made shit money, but at least I made something.

It was so slow because of the rain but I managed to get a vip after my first stage set and the guy stayed with me most of the night getting dances and drinking with me. Everyone was in the locker room complaining but I kept it moving and made my high goal for the night.

I had an awesome night and I banked. I had 2 champagne rooms and more lap dances than I can count, plus about $150 in stage tips. It was my first night back to dancing in close to a year so it was encouraging to say the least. I worked at a small hole-in-the-wall which can be hit or miss but sometimes it's better to be a big fish in a small pond. I didn't feel like going to a bigger club and competing with 100 girls and paying crazy house fees and tip outs. I'm resting with my heating pad now and going to catch some z's. I'm going to need to run to Target and get epsom salts because my body is rusty from being away from dancing for so long.

I had an ok night, I went in last minute to try to make extra money.. was no worthy but I made few extra cash.
Need to tell you I have new boobs and I noticed some girls really come over and talk to me, others that are older and a little arrogant don’t even look at me. And today I was dancing on stage and one even shout at me with a silly excuse..
I just feel is jealousy... In this club some of the girls are evil. Scary. I am always careful to be correct with others, but having someone attacking is embarrassing... and I told her.. just to don’t talk to me like that at first.. lol! The energy feels tiring

I've had a hard week and I didn't want to go in but I did anyway. I made enough money to be happy that I worked. My back has been acting up so much that I've had a hard time sleeping for the past few weeks, so tomorrow is probably going to be awful. Lidocaine and a triple dose of Aleve has kind of been working and I kind of hoped that the exercise would help but... Not really.
I kind of see some light at the end of the tunnel and that helped to keep me in a good mood. The last of my huge expenses has been dealt with. All of my pets are healthy and happy. I need to pay some small annoying bills and deal with a loan. $3,500 and I'll be caught up. I'm hoping I can get it dealt with by the end of the year so I can have one semester that isn't exhausting.

Last night was one of those nights where the club was poppin but literally not one person was spending. But then that *one* guy happens to look my direction and my entire night & week is made.
i KNEW this dude was queer in some way, we did an hour room and I immediately managed to get it out of him (because nothing is sexier than vulnerability). Spent most of the time helping him plot his first bisexual outting. Dude builds strip malls for a living. I was like ya know, sometimes you gotta build a walmart and then s some d.

Last night was one of those "When life gives you lemons..." nights. The whole day was like that (and today isn't better) I've had a cold for a few weeks now and I'm probably just getting reinfected. I woke up, couldn't breathe and took Nyquil, so I actually got a reasonable amount of sleep.
Work was insanely slow and a few dancers just took all of the business. They're young, drunk and kind of dumb so... Yeah. I got a lot of attention, but I couldn't get to the customers fast enough.
One of these dancers hassled me while I was hustling. What sucks is that we used to be cool when we danced at other clubs together. This one is really cliquey so... Apparently I'm beneath her now. I'm sure that when one of them needs something, I'll be their best friend again. Like I'm going to fall for that.
What's sad is that these are the girls who don't have an exit plan. Most of them didn't finish high school, not smart or stable enough for college. I sound like an asshole for saying this but these girls don't really have much of a future. This particular girl is in college but... barely.
I ended up dancing to 80's New Wave and Ice gotten strong enough to do some favorite floor moves and pole tricks, so that was fun. I won't be wearing shorts any time soon because of the inner thigh bruises but it was worth it.
I made more money than I would have staying home so whatever.

I've had success with working while sick. This was "Everything hurts and I'm too tired to move, so fuck off," kind of sick in a really slow club. I made as much as I did last Saturday, so... Meh.

My last shift, I gave a customer an air dance and pretty much demanded a tip because he touched me inappropriately after I explained the rules. It might seem irrational, but I wonder now if I was too harsh, if I was mean to him, or if I put a damper on his night. I don't like to hurt anyone's feelings or make anyone feel bad. :-\
I have gone through similar feelings in similar situations and it blows my mind that we feel this way. It’s not irrational, it’s that we’ve been conditioned as women to “be nice” and even when someone crosses our boundaries we feel bad for calling them out. Men also seem to feel entitled to our bodies. You did nothing wrong. If a damper was put on his night that was his fault. I’m sorry this happened to you. Big hugs.

Best shift ever to date and it was the easiest night I’ve ever had. Every guy I spoke with got a dance and I did a few double vips with a guy that kept stopping to tell us how beautiful we are. To top it off I got rained on 4 Times. I’m gaining weight and it’s definitely increasing my money. I’m officially saving up for my boobs now and I’m aiming to get them done in Miami in January.

This weekend was surprisingly good. It's the first weekend of the month so I figured it was going to massively suck. Friday was dead, but a trans woman fell in love with me and took me to the VIP, mostly for tips on being female. Also into fetishy stuff so I was able to keep her interested for a while.
Last night, we showed the UFC fight, which had the club packed. I was Just. On. Fire. VIP after VIP all night. It was one of my best nights in a really long time. Usually fight nights suck but it was great for me.
It was also fun watching the fight. I had no idea who was who or any of the backstory, but I yelled at the TV in Russian and had fun doing it.
Of course, the cat peed all over my bed and one of the dogs ate my tube of foundation while I was gone, so my ego was deflated pretty solidly after dealing with all of that.

So this was my second weekends stripping ever, and I got sick.
Last night I had a slow night, and I normally make house by 10pm but I didn't make it till 12. I had a creepy dude who wanted me to sit with him and talk (but not pay me) and then when I kept avoiding him he got another girl to hunt me down and ask for a dance. We go back there, he sits down and I tell him what I cost. Then he asks to go VIP, so I tell him that. Then he asks me if he's special to me. Normally, I would of course tell this guy he's so special to me but I got a bad feeling so I said he's a good customer. Then he threw me off of him and didn't pay me a dime. He also attempted to follow me home but the doorman put a stop to that.
Then I had to rip my new stockings because they got caught on my boot and I was trapped on the ground with my legs against the pole so I tried to get them off but I got stuck so I just pulled and ripped them to keep going with the set. Then the magic happened. I booked a guy for an hour VIP. The first 30 minutes he just held me, and then we talked about calculus for the last 30. He said: "I'm excited for tomorrow, the bar opens at 9am." And that made me really sad.
I felt shitty and ended up sitting in the locker room for 2 hours until I could go home and then took today off.

Last weekend was incredibly slow. It rained all weekend and... God forbid that people drive when its raining. I made a little less than the minimum I'll be ok with so...
This Friday was dead. Just... There were no customers and the ones we had were weird. I lucked out that a customer who fell in love with me 6 months ago, showed up. Other than that, there were situations where three dancers approached the same customer at the same time because there were no other options. I ended up writing 1,000 words of a research paper, which is good, because I need to get it done.
I applied to university jobs after I got home. It was that bad.
Last night was awesome. It was busy, fun customers and I walked away with a lot of very needed money. It was also fun for the people watching. I'm really picky about who I'll deal with or even talk to, although I wasn't in the past. There's a dancer that I've worked with at other clubs who used to be friendly, but has turned into a total snob to me. She's really only nice to people she thinks are beneath her and I'm most definitely not. So, I go into the locker room and she happens to be there with this new dancer friend. She kind of has to say hello, so she does. I looked at her, looked at her friend and went about my business. No expression, not a single word. Normally, I'd just smile or whatever, but she's been an asshole to me for a long time and I just don't care to deal with it.
She got to watch me get tipped with $20's on stage from a guy who also rescues cats and thinks it's wonderful that I took in a new kitty last week. They just looked drunk and confused.
Another dancer decided that she wanted to laugh at me with this loser customer that she'd been glued to all night when I was on stage. I did pretty well in tips, so I just rolled my eyes at her. Tips were REALLY good on the second stage and a customer said I must be really popular. So I said, loud enough for this dancer to hear "I know! I've made more on this stage than that bitch makes all night! Some girls just don't got it." If looks could kill...
I honestly don't even know what her problem is, other than the fact that she's intimidated. I was actually really nice to her when we first started working at this club. Another reason why I rarely bother dealing with any of them, I guess

Last night was weird at my regular club, for some reason a ton of girls came in and there were no guys, so I left early. I worked 5 nights in a row before that, including two at a new club. I LOVED working at the new club, its a completely different vibe from my first one and they only schedule a certain number of girls at a time. Not sure if it was just new girl money or if the other girls just don’t hustle or both but I made a rack between my two short shifts there and I didn’t even feel like I was working hard. On top of that all the girls and staff were so nice to me and I had so much fun working with all of them. Being nice and acting professional pays off ya’ll.
I’m grateful to have found a new place I like. Need to work my ass off til the end of the month because I’m leaving town again.

After two brutally slow shifts that had me feeling insecure, low and downright terrible I was about to quit. My reg asked me to come in then didn’t show up. I will never make the mistake of coming in for a guy again. It was so bad I cried and the HM paid my house fee.
Last night the club was slow then in walks this guy and the vets beeline to him. Turns out he’s a whale that’s been coming for years. He told me he just likes tipping so I figured he wasn’t interested, then he tipped me a couple hundred and continued to give me a couple hundred every stage set. My favorite reg came in and got a VIP and just wanted to give me a massage and cuddle (he’s a young hot guy that’s just my type) it was heaven. My dancer friend made her reg make it rain on me. All this happened by 2am. I really should’ve kept hustling the last few hours but I made my goal for the week and I was on an adrenaline high.

October has been good to me. Business has picked up. I reached my monthly goal by the 14, just in time for my birthday. I took a few extra days off than I intended to because I was sick last weekend, but this week was also good. I want to take the rest of the month of as I'm so sore again after practicing more pole.
