Yes, I danced within Goldfingers that time around. It had been MONTHS since I danced there last therefore I wanted to give it a go to see if I liked it. I prefer Rhino due to how I won't have to do podium/stage alot (plus it costs me less in "club rent"). Doing the tables at Goldies reminded me how much I need to NOT do them these-days.

Best of luck Jow! ;D I might see you round Allysha :)

Going back to Melbourne....again :laughing: This time around I will be dancing within Rhino Fri-Sat-Sun .... or so the plan goes. Goldies is my back-up club.

Just wanted to add that there is nothing too much wrong with my hustle as a few factors were working against me: I hadn't worked in the club for quite awhile (this does impact earnings as I was heavily fined my first night due to not used to doing tables at a specific time/having to wear a watch), I was like a new girl therefore had no regulars and time of year. Definately time of year. Whilst there were less girls working there were also less customers and more patrons (the difference is a customer spends money on the dancers and patrons spend money at the bar).

I also was burnt out come Saturday as I was 'in the game' (as such) Wed-Fri and that's why my profit margin was so low. I have learnt and am only working 3 nights in a row this time around.

Then again, I havn't worked in my usual Melbourne club since October so it might take me one shift to get used to everything there again (plus I have no regulars and I have to take into account time of year even tho' the Australian Open Tennis event is happening at the time).

Just a quick update: I made a decent profit after 3 nights work. I will be going back shortly as I'm not going to 'hold my breath' that I will make alot of money private party dancing this week.

It can be very hard work to regular girls imo. It isn't as busy as it can be basically. I made good money as I wasn't burnt out, condfident and motivated. ;D

Hi You asked about Darwin - I'm up here at the moment. Love it. New upmarket club called the "HONEY POT CLUB". I have my accom provided in the Hotel on-site, I get my return airfares refunced back after 4 weeks of work. Tips are good, club is female owned and she is fair but expects us to be ladies when out on the floor. Strict dress rules for customers so we get nicer men. I get 50% of all privates, 100% of all tips and on average dance on stage about 3 (max 4) per night for 3 songs each. After proving myself - I was guaranteed base of $300 per week also - but had to commit to 5 nights and Friday Lunch shift - great shfit to get to do - good tips and privates. I party alot with the bar and hotel staff - cool crew - try not to get caught paryting in hotel rooms too loud - I'm on 1st warning already - thanks to guest complaint. Great pool for sunbaking by. No car so good that hotel accom is in the centre of town - as is club. Was going to move on after the next lot of sailor boys come in - since November I've had aussies, french, americans and now again on australia day - aussie ship - then 2 US ships early february. Was going after them - but now have asked to extend - quite happy making good money and with good folks. I know Annie is looking for more staff - if you want a change - think about this new club - ph 08 89853000 or [email protected] . Tell them I told you about it (she'll definately shout me a drink) ###GOOD LUCK AND BE HAPPY ###

Wow.. how things change within a space of a few days. I am still going to go back down to Melbourne for a "quickie" at the beginning of Feb. Since a major committment I had near the end of Feb/beginning of March has been postponed until further notice... this has given me back my freedom to do 14 night trips again! YAY! ;D

I am tossing up whether to go to Darwin (Honey Pot) or Skimpy work in WA (Babes Promotions) for this time period. Depends on which one is the more appealing option (which offers me the most income as well covers things like accomm. etc).

Hmm.. I just had the thought occur to me.. I would love to do a tour around Australia... something like.. work Melbourne.. home (private party work) for a week or two.. work Darwin for 2 weeks.. home.. Melbourne.. home.. work Adelaide (one/two weeks).. home.. Skimpy work WA 2 weeks.. home.. now that the other 'tours' don't seem to be going anywhere! :D It would help fill in quite a few months and give me some sort of plan :) We'll see if actually eventuates...

I'm not too phased by it. It happens when a dancer does find a club she thinks is "da bomb". I know I've been in that situation a few times then realised down the road all its nuiances. These days I approach every club with an open mind as no club is perfect. It may seem perfect at the outset... work there consistently for 3-6 months and you'll have a different attitude to it.

I rave about Rhino as I truely feel it is one of the few clubs I have ever had the pleasure of working within that is decently run. It has its nuiances like any other strip club. It is not perfect. Just works for me well (esp. as a travelling/fly-by-night stripper).

I'll be able to give you my opinion when I go there at the end of Feb. for a two week contract. ;)

hooters, yep, its called just hooters, and is owned by the smae guy that owns showgirls in auckland ( ron) its a nice looking club, they take almost 50% of your money, and if its anything like his other club......ummm NO! lol but yeah cos its in the city centre it is probably very busy.

Yeh Mermaid, I actually worked at Just Hooters for about 2-3 months.
I wouldn't recommend working there to anybody. You are payed less that half
of your commission, half of your tips and nothing more. This
club allows the men to touch anywhere but the vaginal region.
Its a clean club and there are some nice girls working there, but the management and the work is just down the crap hole. As I was not treated very well and I worked my ass off and didn't get much in return.

Also whilst I am posting.. Have any of your worked in Perth? As I have just relocated to Freo, I am looking for a nice club that pays well where I could work
to the best of my potential. Thanks!

Cheers

My accommodation is booked (just going to email to confirm a room at the hostel I will be staying within), will book my flights tomorrow and ..well.. you guys know I'm on my way! ;D I'm very much hoping it will not only be lucrative for me whilst I am there at the club.... also try to promote myself for possible Indy work thus lucrative for me in the future.

See you guys at 108 soon ;D

Looking forward to working in a busy environment after working the 'slow' wet season in Darwin.

Okay. I will have one year after the Exotic Angels competition (and especially after the calendar is officially released) to really take advantage of the opportunity of having been part of the National Final of this competition (and thus be in the calendar). It's the first time I will have a title that is due to being in a National Final (all my other titles are state related).

I will only have a couple of months after the calendar is published in October to collect votes so I can become the next Miss Exotic Angel (http://www.exoticangels.com.au/main/html/honey_2006.html) ... so I am inquiring with everyone 'out there' about clubs which will allow me to work for a week or two within your club promoting the calendar (and thus collecting votes).

I'm representing myself ( goldcoastgirl.info ) so there shouldn't be much of a conflict due to not representing any particular club.

I'm looking to visit one or two clubs each month from Nov 2006 - Feb 2007. After that time, I will just be selling the calendar (not require the votes).

I already have 2-3 clubs who I will approach (and will probably receive me favourably)... I require more... they must be okay with me working 2-4 nights only.

Hey girls, has any one heard any new about the new club that has opened on King St in Melbourne? Apparently it's owned by The Men's Gallery?

GoldCoastGirl
03-29-2006, 04:46 PM
What?! :O There is ANOTHER club on King St ?? Between the clubs that are already on King St.. and the fact that MGs isn't really that far away from SR (which is at the 'other end' of King St).. where the hell would it go.. ?? /:O

Oh dear. There are enough clubs on King St already. >:(

So far my little 'calendar promo tour' will encompass Townsville (now that I know it is no touching it has made the prospect more attractive to me), Cairns (maybe - depending on how I go in Townsville as I can easily/cheaply take the train instead of flying to/from Brisbane), Crazy Horse in Adelaide (just have to confirm with the management that it is okay even tho' I have assurred it should be by other people) and Darwin (see if Honey Pot is okay with it despite the fact that its only competitor (Sinsations) holds the competition locally).. oh yeh.. I nearly forgot to mention Melbourne (Crystal Ts would have me I know that ... just tossing up whether Goldfingers or SR would best suit me to sell/promote myself via the calendar). Some of these places I shall only be dancing 'one week' (3-4 nights).8)

The calendar doesn't come out until October and my little 'tour' will start in November (or after Indy) so I will be cashed up ....and hopefully the momentum (and selling of calendars) will continue that prosperity. (The title isn't 'awarded' until May 1st 2006.)

The National Final is in June so I could even 'check out' a few other venues (test the waters as such) prior to when I hope to start my little tour (if I am in the financial position to do so).

After the title has been awarded, I can then just casually travel around.

MarieKitten
03-29-2006, 05:34 PM
Yeah, I noticed that a club had opened up right next to SR, called "Centerfold", and asked a few of the girls I work with about it. They all say that it's a new strip club, but there's no info on the internet about it.

I guess I'll have to check it out myself!

Aprilleigh
03-30-2006, 12:32 AM
hi mariekitten, i just PM'd you about something, anyway i mentioned in the message that i was returning to dancing this weekend after a few years off and i will be working at centerfold lounge. it opened a months ago and at this stage will only be opening fri & sat nights (trialling thursdays atm) they are owned by the gallery but are trading completely different, more like dallas's "family" atmosphere but with gallery's rules, it's a smaller club which i like and they are still renovating midweek while they are closed. the dance manager is Liz, she was with the gallery for 9 years, she seems VERY friendly and welcoming.

at this stage they have been hiring a lot of newbies who have never danced and are using 'certain' gallery girls until they get their own numbers up. when i met up with liz she said she'd be very priviledged (sp) to have someone with my experience and was very relieved when i mentioned i dont like 'big club' mentality which is why i want to return to a smaller club but not one where i've worked before. so far it seemed very quiet as it hasn't spread by word of mouth as yet but i will definately let everyone know what it's like to work there after this weekend.

i went in for a lap dance to check it out and they seem very strict on the rules ;D but the dances are done upstairs where ther's no lighting:shrug: so you can't see anything. it's darker than the gallery up there and the seatings really dodgy! but as the manager explained, they're still renovating so it's a temporary inconvenience... hopefully

Here is more information about Centerfolds within this article:
Strip Clubs Stake Their Turf Before 'Biggest Ever' Season (http://www.funinaustralia.com/forums/board/index.php?showtopic=12692)


Despite the animosity within the adult industry, both sides agree the Games will be a gold mine, and of Melbourne's many major events, the single biggest earner for the sex industry. Hahaha!!! Was I the ONLY one who wasn't deluded about the Commonwealth Games NOT being a goldmind?? :laughing:

The article brings up a very valid concern with the opening of this particular club in that Melbourne esp. King St will be "crowded" with strip clubs. The interesting question is whether or not this particular club will be able to survive once the busy March (madness) season is over.

Granted, any information (a review telling us how the club works - tip outs, etc) would be grately appreciated...


...they are owned by the gallery but are trading completely different...
According to the article I referenced above MGs was against this club opening so this piece of information is in-correct... you may want to double check whether or not it actually is a subsidary (or whatever) of MGs. /:O

Any other information you can share about this particular club? Has anyone worked here (thus be able to provide first-hand information) ?

Darwin's weather is fabolous now that The Dry has hit however I can't say that it is fabolous in re: money. Waaaaay too many dancers working, just have a read of my blog (link below @ goldcoastgirl.com ).

Usually they don't have alot of dancers working in Darwin however this past week... they had 5 new dancers working on top of myself and the 3 other dancers that were already there.... and then there are the two dancers who only work Fri and Sat nights on top of all that... for a small town and club like this one... it was a ridiculous number!! Honestly, they only require 5-6 dancers Tue and Wed, up to 7 on Thur and no more than 8-9 dancers on Fri and Sat nights.

This way every dancer has a chance to make some decent money. Unfortunately, due to the no. of dancers .... and how agressive some of them can be in re: hustling/selling dances.... I wasn't the only one going home with crap earnings.

That club works well for dancers who are agressive as well as work by numbers (can talk to every single patron in the place and then some). Unfortunately, I am not one of them. I tend to work better in clubs where I can wander around.. make conversation in one song before closing the sale... and when I do.. I tend to either be able to sell repeat dances or higher priced ones. This is the reason why I tend to do well in Melbourne more often than not.

I'm seriously considering go to Kalgoorlie since Darwin was so disappointing for me. It fell well below my financial expectations. My personal expectations for the trip ... that was great... I was able to cement some good friendships up there.

I've already organised that I would go to Kal as a stripper first and Skimpy second. Thus I still want some Skimpy hours (guaranteed income as such not incl. tips) however if I am booked for a show... the show/booking comes first. All I would have to fork out initially is my airfare over there. That's the only thing that went wrong the last time I was over there.... I missed out on a few show bookings due to being there as a skimpy first and stripper second. Learnt my lesson. Plus since I am now open to doing XXX shows... that means even more money for me (even if it is only $50 extra per show/booking).

GoldCoastGirl
05-17-2006, 05:58 AM
My plans have changed slightly as the original agency I was going through kinda wasn't going to deliver what they were promising so instead I'm going with Babes Promotions. I'll be mainly doing Skimpy work (no more than 30 hours per week hopefully which is generally 5 hours per day) however I will just suck it up as I do want to get ahead in re: money finally (my need to make money will hopefully out-weigh my slight distaste for being behind the bar - I can do this only when the need truely arises which has happened). The tips I will end up making on top of the skimpy wage in itself will make the whole three week trip (I've extended the trip an extra week) worthwhile after all my expenses (airfare and any other incidential expenses).

Really hoping this trip will finally get me ahead. :) Other good news is that one of the clubs on the Gold Coast actually approached me and asked me if I would like to do one or a few nights a week at its club... I was totally surprised by this and since I'm booked to do the Skimpy work I can't back out of that now.. so I will persue working in the club once a month or even two nights each week (definately no more due to the touching I won't be able to handle anything more without it impacting my libido and mental state)... wow.. that club approached me! I'm so surprised! ;D

Well, I'm going to be gone from this Sunday. My first week will be in Geraldton and second week in Dampier... my third week is still to be determined (as the agency only books two weeks at a time, as such). I'm kinda promised that I will have a really good second week. I'm not holding my breath that I will be loving the first week booking tho' (from what I've been told about it). I don't really work well with people/managers who do not have any people skills :( so I'm hoping I don't stuff up in my first week !!

It seems with the Geralton booking that I will only be able to do the titty kitty (aka tips for tits) at the end of my shift ...and then I'm expected to stay topless (tho' I'm wearing something see-thru) after I've done the titty kitty to flirt/chat/etc with the patrons. Man.. if they don't tip well (I'm going to go off $50 in tips for 15 minutes of time)... I'm not going to hang around... it pisses me off that they won't allow the Skimpy at this booking to flirt/chat/entertain the men DURING her shift more than work (as that is what I thought being a Skimpy was all about)... *sigh*

The Dampier booking is much better. I might actually do my first toy show (as my order from AdultShop.com.au - 3 vibes and 1 dildo - arrived today) when there ;D

Darcy Foxx
05-19-2006, 07:31 AM
good luck, hope it goes well. and good luck with your first toy show if you end up doing it! ;D

GoldCoastGirl
06-05-2006, 03:34 AM
Havn't done any toy shows as the hours I got in Dampier (where I had the possibility) were not really conductive to organising any shows. I did 4pm til 10pm... and so by the time I had my dinner it was way too late for me plus my feet were killing me! :laughing: None-the-less, it worked out to be lucrative anyway.. I can recommend Babes in re: Skimpy work around Western Australia not necessarily Kalgoorlie. I'm going to approach JoAnne's Exotic Dancers when I am back home in re: Kalgoorlie skimpy work as that is the agency that supplied The Exchange Hotel (one of if not the most popular pub in Kal).

Regardless, I will be working with Babes again most definately when I next want to do some more Skimpy work. This trip is working out for me.

06-18-2006, 05:44 PM
I deleted the original post about starting at Players as I was told that I wouldn't be allowed back to work at Players tonight or any night for that matter (well, due to not leaving on good terms they aren't really keen to have me back).

>:( Never mind it has been over two years since I quit the place! I'm angry that they told me only hours before I was due to go in (7.30pm tonight) and that they are so short-sighed to see that alot can change in two years. I'm sad because I had pumped myself up to deal with the two-way touching as well as going back to work there and really wanted to find out for myself what things were like back there now.

I would love to know why however I doubt that they will ever give me the reason. I'll just lump it. Just that it now means I have no where to work in Surfers Paradise since I won't touch Crazy Horse with a 10 foot pole.

Whilst it is a money maker, it is a dive and the girls are territorial plus I would have to watch my stuff as well as my own back... it's a rough club and I don't do well generally in such environments.

The only other club has no money there. I'm not willing to travel to/from Brisbane to work up there since it would be an hour an half drive to and from the club... and I especially don't want to drive for so long after working... even if it was only two nights.. so that's out.

Today started off so well too... I really really was looking forward to working there or in a local club (or any strip club) again. I havn't stripped for over a month now ... and I really wanna be a stripper damnit! lol :D

If you're curious - ( here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ExoticDancingOz/message/1017) ) is a blog entry I made about my quitting way back in 2004.

Just a heads-up to all dancers who are currently or planning to dance within a strip club in Queensland... from the 1st of July new no-smoking laws will be passed ( refer to http://www.health.qld.gov.au/atods/tobaccolaws/timeline.asp )

The whole enclosed area of liquor licensed premises must be no-smoking.

How do you think this will affect strip club business in Queensland? I'm going to be especially interested in how it may affect things come Indy time here on the Gold Coast as there will be alot of interstate and some international people who come to the GC during Indy not knowing about these new laws.

Do you think this might increase private party business ? They may instead choose to stay home or go to a mates place... hire a stripper or two (booking individually or as a duo) as well as possibly some topless waitresses.. instead of going out since the smokers of the group won't be really able to enjoy themselves (since they can't go out on the street to have a smoke due to the law against that as well it has to be a designated outdoor area for smokers).

MishaBliss
06-27-2006, 09:52 PM
I think for sure that it'll increase private party work. Queenslanders love to drink, but i reckon alot of them love to smoke just as much! And they love their porn (for lack of a better word). There are sooo many sex shops in QLD. Maybe in a few years the social scene will recover...but i wouldn't count on that anytime soon.
Very good for you i'd imagine GCG! :)

GoldCoastGirl
07-10-2006, 03:22 PM
The 1 July has come and gone .........if there was an increase in private party work I certainly havn't felt it that is for damn sure!!!! >:( It hasn't affected things to the point where people will stay out of the clubs. It doesn't help that the Gold Coast generally has good weather so having a puff outside isn't of too much concern.

I've been putting off apply-ing for work at Hooters for a two-fold reason:
1 - I really really don't want to work in an environment where touching of the dancer is allowed
2 - My last memory of the club and the last review of the club in the Clubs and Reviews section are not positive (a club with not alot of money within its walls)

So I'm going to TRY to make myself as much as I do not want to really go "up the road" to apply for work for this weekend (work Friday at the very least since the only booking I have is during the day). Friday night is generally a busy night no matter what in Surfers so if I don't make money and it doesn't "get" enough patrons then I won't bother with it on another night.

I'm also planning (as I found some money I didn't realise I had recently W00t!) to go down to Melbourne to dance for three nights out of a five night stay (Fri, Sun, Mon) so I'll report back on how that trip goes (NOT looking forward to the cold weather).

Any of the Melbourne girls, where are you working and how is it generally in re: attendance? I know I went down to Melbourne this time last year however can't really find the information that will tell me whether I did well or not. I usually can make back my trip money/investment on the Friday with Sun and Mon being "profit" nights. I only work Saturday if someone on Friday who spent a decent amount on me will be coming back otherwise I would rather not due to all the Bucks parties. I know how to "work" them to get at least one $50 dance out of them however they are hard work and I prefer to only deal with them in a private party manner really. Besides, I would love to be able to have at least one day in my trip that I can devote to do some modelling (expand my portfolio).

I've had patrons say certain clubs were closed when in fact they were just not open that particular day or were closed except for renovations so it was temporary... so I don't take their word for it unless they were there a week ago as such.

... Later the same day after I went for a walk to see for myself if it was closes or not... I can assure everyone it is definately open. I went by, a lone girl was out-front of the doors (she looked bored) and I heard music coming from it. I personally didn't go inside as I wasn't dressed proper and I've had a head cold for the last couple of days so I don't feel nor look the best to ask for a job there.

I need the work as I am just not making any money with the private party/agency work ... yet I don't know if I will actually ENJOY it since I havn't worked in a touching environment for over a year now.. Everytime a guy has gone for the grope during a dance in other no-touching clubs I have gone totally sour (instant turn off). Granted, I am only going to be working there one night if they will allow me to do so... so I guess I could just "suck it up" for that one night at the very least.

At least I know it is open and operating. Whether it has any money within its walls has yet to be revealed to me... hopefully I'll be almost or completely over my head cold by tomorrow so that I can apply to work this Friday (if possible).

I'm going down to Melbourne to work at Rhino Fri, Sun, Mon next week (departing gold coast thur, arriving back tue). It won't be THAT much busier down in Melbourne however I know at least it is more reliable money and I am more confident in my "hustle" down there.

Worked at Hooters last night :) Made $170 ! I'm thankful as I wouldn't have made squat if I didn't finally get my ass down there to work :laughing: Plus some of the guys who were real great customers (especially my whole worry about having to endure touching again) were planning to return tonight. I'm hoping anyway.

If you do want to work in Melbourne, do you have a specific club you would work within? Most clubs require at least 7 days notice prior to your arrival and then for you to apply to work within the club at least the night before-hand. I have no idea if Rhino is even open to accepting more dancers (as sometimes they will audition you yet not accept you due to not really requiring more dancers).

Goldfingers is always a go as I know they are greedy in re: the door fee. They don't care as long as they get the $50 door fee from you (I've worked there when there was near 50 dancers including me working one time yet I still made good money).

Granted, if you're not a confident hustler/salesperson it can be rather hard. Totally recommend Friendy Backpacker hostel if you want affordable accommodation whilst down here. Otherwise there is a rather inexpensive hotel "down the road" on King Street if you're not comfortable with dorms or even your own room in a hostel. At least the hostel has free breakfast, the night staff (as it's a 24 hour reception) are great (I made friends with John and Chris) and few other free food options throughout the week.

I'm rather excited about my trip just coz it will allow me to catch up with the both of them. ;D They know what I do for a living and have had many strippers stay there so it isn't uncomfortable to stay there as such.

the friendly backpackers is awesome!! we stayed there over grand prix a few years ago. i was just looking at backpacker options, the king street one seems closer and cheaper, but i know friendly, is a safe clean place.

id go to goldfingers. a custy last night was saying how busy it was there last week, got me wondering if its worth the trip down.

im tossing up; kalgoolie, melbourne, or nz.

nz i might leave till september, kalgoolie might be a goer? it makes more sence to go to kalgoolie actually. i have to go to perth for somehting else anyways.

last night i was on $65 at 1:30am!! it was terrible. i got lucky with one custy tho for a few hours, who bumped me up to my 'target', although i seriously get the shits if i dont make $100 more then the target, thats why im all like "fuck it, im gonna go somewhere else for a few weeks' lol i think i need to learn patience!!

hmm.... kalgoolie might be my best bet. least its a definate wage, and isnt going to cost me a few hundy a night in tipout fees.

would be good if the exotic angels calanders arrived before i went to perth.shameless self promotion never hurt anyone :) haha

The thing with Goldfingers is that you will be working with all sorts of girls and "extras" (as in touching mainly not sexual extras) does happen within the club. Granted, I always did well however thanks to the "sliding scale" door fee of Rhino my profit margin is higher.

I always stay at the King St Friendly Backpacker. The other one is called Greenhouse. I liked it the first time I stayed there however I've gotten to know the night managers and they look out/after me whenever I am down so I feel better staying at Friendly over Greenhouse. Greenhouse seems a little bit more impersonal compared to Friendly. Plus the fact that Friendly is on King St does help.

Babes Promotions doesn't really do Kalgoorlie. They do the rest of WA. There are alot more towns/pubs (whatever) that have Skimpies where there is good money to be made than Kalgoorlie. The only way to make a buck in Kalgoorlie is to work at The Exchange Hotel with 6+ other Skimpies. Whilst you make decent "titty kitty" tips, it is HARD work and those tips are shared amongst all 6+ of you. The skimpy thing is lucrative however not for everyone. There is a reason why I do not do it that much.

If you want guaranteed money - do skimpy work via Babes Promotions. Tell them Vanessa sent you as such. If you want to give Melbourne a go - give it a go. Melbourne is the more riskier option imo especially if you aren't "used to" the hustle and how it works down there.

Wear a watch when you work at Goldies as you canNOT be late for your tables. The other girls WILL charge you or bitch to the manager that you were late (and hence the manager will get you to give the girl the money).

No it is no Kalgoorlie. There is more to WA than Kalgoorlie. Kal just has a higher "concentration" of Skimpies than most other places as most other "mining" or related towns have only one or two pubs with a skimpy barmaid (and only one at each pub not multiple skimpies like some of Kal's pubs have).

There are a few locations where you will have the possibility to do toy shows however being a skimpy comes first and foremost at all times.

I'm also planning (as I found some money I didn't realise I had recently W00t!) to go down to Melbourne to dance for three nights out of a five night stay (Fri, Sun, Mon) so I'll report back on how that trip goes (NOT looking forward to the cold weather).

Any of the Melbourne girls, where are you working and how is it generally in re: attendance? I know I went down to Melbourne this time last year however can't really find the information that will tell me whether I did well or not. I usually can make back my trip money/investment on the Friday with Sun and Mon being "profit" nights. I only work Saturday if someone on Friday who spent a decent amount on me will be coming back otherwise I would rather not due to all the Bucks parties. I know how to "work" them to get at least one $50 dance out of them however they are hard work and I prefer to only deal with them in a private party manner really. Besides, I would love to be able to have at least one day in my trip that I can devote to do some modelling (expand my portfolio).

Hey GCG, and anyone else curious

I'm at the Men's Gallery and finding though it is quieter than apparently summers are supposed to be down here, I'm still doing about $1600 clear just doing my fridays and saturdays each week. If the Friday's huge, the Saturday tends to be quiet, or they roughly even out, but it seems to have gone through the worst of the winter quietness (touch wood!). And that's without shows. IMO, definitely worth a trip down if you can't work locally at the moment. Though it seems you've been working on plans for private shows and other work - best of luck!! x - Luisa

Let me know via sms how it goes, I may even start working back there as GF is PISSING ME OFF!!!

Good Luck

That will work to my advantage the new girls as I have no history with them and I know how the clubs works so I can make good money. They can have 70+ dancers working and I'm still confident I will be able to make money. ;D Rhino is NOT for everyone by the way. Have you tried Mens Gallery? I know quite a few girls who will give Rhino a go for a week or three then try another club out to see if the "grass is greener" there (or return to their old club as they didn't "get" Rhino).

I start work tomorrow night. I will PM you as well as sms you. ;D
