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

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
OK, i tought i'd touch back on the centrefold lounge confusion...
Mens Gallery does own Centrefold Lounge-there was a huge uproar when it opened as the other clubs tried to challenge its liscence. The club used to be spy lounge (regular bar) which was owned by the same guy, Peter (I can't spell his surname so not gonna try). When the original liscence was issued it was for a strip club-only it had been used as a bar for years. Peter decided to close down spy in favour of a strip club, which he already had the liscence for. AS GCG correctly pointed out alot of melbourne press incorrectly included mens gallery in the uproar against centrefold-which is untrue. however alot of the other clubs did try to challenge it opening. Centrefold was opened primarily to compete with the lounge-bar atmosphere of SR. From all reports its seems to be doing quite well, which in part is due to the fact thats its relatively small (other main melbourne clubs are huge).
It is run sepeartely to MG, it has the same general manager overseeing both venues however all the rest of the mangement and staff are exclusive to centrefolds or MG respectively (ie, different dancers etc). I know a fair amount of advertising (probably alot more than for mg) has been planned/done and the club by all reports seems to be doing pretty ok-there are a few ex-gallery dancers there who certainly wouldn't stay if the $$$ weren't ok

I have revived two old threads - Biloela and Mackay.

I will be heading to Bilo for five nights from monday 14th. I will be in Mackay from 23rd aug until 2nd sept. See the relevant threads (links below) for more information. ;D

Oh ... can't edit the above post so I am making a new one. I'm still doing Biloela and Mackay. I'm driving up to the Biloela booking.... and according to www.whereis.com.au it will take me approx 7.5 hours without breaks to arrive there from Surfers Paradise (where I am/home). Since I will be taking breaks as I know I can't stand driving for too long at a stretch (plus to just keep myself awake/alert for such a trip).... I will most likely take around 10 hours to arrive in Biloela. I'm planning to leave at 5am in the morning (even 4.30am if I am up to it)... since I know my appetite doesn't really kick in that early in the morning I will grab "breakfast" early on in the trip "on the way".

Lots of protein for me! :laughing: Low carbs. Protein keeps me alert/awake, carbs make me sleepy. At least one or two of the breaks I take whilst driving will be short "nanna naps". I posted the directions whereis.com.au gave me in the Biloela thread for everyone's use if/when they do this booking and are driving like me to it.

I will keep a notepad to keep track of any good eateries etc along the way so I can post about them as well for other's benefit.

Mackay... thankfully I am flown to/from there. I'm hoping to make enough from my Biloela trip to be able to put "Bunny" (the car) in for a service once I am home because after such a loooooooooooooooooooooooong trip she is bound to need some love (and after the abuse I have hurdled at her over the year lol).

Can anybody shed any light on what to expect when clubs advertise for new dancers and state no experience necessary and full training provided?

I ended up at Career One by chance I discovered they had a lot of adverts listed, some specified a club name in the description where as others just had a number. No business name makes me slightly suss, maybe I'm just paranoid.

As someone who knows next to nothing, is the training more or less universal or do some clubs offer better training than others? I.e is it like you do this and this then throw you to the sharks or is it a definate period of time where thay evaluate you and help you?

I was hoping to scour the web and see what was on offer in the line of clothed bar/waitress work and become part of the fixtures so to speak and see how things worked, but requests for bar work dosen't seem to be as easy to find.

You'll most likely learn like the majority of us: purely on the job. Some clubs do provide actual training and/or some assistance... however plenty will just hire anyone who looks good (they don't even require an audition to see if you can actually "dance"). In all the clubs I have ever applied for work within there was only one to this day that required me to actually audition so they could see what I looked like "dancing" .... Spearmint Rhino. For that they received my respect.

All the clubs are nude... however it really depends on where you are in Australia as to the actual lap dance rules. Have you actually been within any local strip clubs in your area? Alot of strip clubs do not advertise for bar and/or waitresses. Just go in and apply.

Also, I kinda steer clear of clubs that advertise quite frequently and/or regularly in any medium as then I have to question if they have a high turnover of dancers... what is wrong with the club in that they have to constantly source new "meat" (as such)....

In the end, forget the newspaper, just visit all the strip clubs in your area... and apply for work in them... door girl, bartender, waitresses, dancer... whatever.

I am away from home til August 19th at the time of this post.

Ha my training was "Just watch the first 3 girls,you're on 4th." Lucky that wasnt a problem for me but many clubs are like this and I feel quite sorry for some of the new girls who really have no idea.
If you're unsure about the dancing side of things it would probably be a good idea to at least go have a look at some of the clubs to see what goes on. Waitressing is definatly a good way to find out too (-:

Well, I updated the Mackay thread with my experience with one of the Mackay bookings. I am curious if I would do better as the topless waitress instead of the booking I did. No complaints as I still made my money yet the topless waitress was making more money than me due to being the topless waitress. She could develop rapport with them all better than me plus there is plenty of tips to be had as the topless waitress than a raffle girl. Think yourself lucky if you make ANY tips as a raffle girl.

Due to not having the ability to use a microwave nor kettle... I didn't really "splurge" too much on my days off (Sun-Tues) since I was spending on average $40 per day (mainly food). I don't mind eating out however it is rather expensive to do so in the end..... I'm used to being able to make my own meals etc even if it is a microwave meal (good old Lean Cruisine (sp?) and Steam Fresh!).... so next time I will pack my own kettle and see if I can have a microwave in my room. Having no TV also sent me a little mad with boredom as I wasn't expecting to have absolutely no TV and having nothing much to do within walking distance.

The beaches and everything involve looooooooooooooooooong walks or taxis (you could bus it however I didn't get the feeling Mackay's public transport was that easy to to use).

All in all it was a profitable trip however I was ill-prepared for the boredom. It is also only worth doing if you are comfortable doing xxx toy shows. If you do xxx anal shows, even better (you'll be even more booked).

So there are two ways you can get to Mackay (airfare and accomm. included)... via Mild to Wild with the booking I did or JoAnne's Exotic Dancers (be the topless waitress at Taylors Hotel). Supposedly JoAnne's agency is not going to send girls who can do xxx shows from now on... I'll find out for myself as I will join her agency this month and inquire.

Anyone working the AFL Grand Final time in Melbourne? I know it went off last year. Whilst I don't really want to do any travel.... I may if it looks like it will be worth it. I would look at working Thur, Fri, Sat of that AFL Final week ( as the actual Grand Final falls on Sat Sep. 30 ).

How much notice do any of the Melb. clubs on King St require if you want to work that week?

I'll probably work on Grand Final weekend, but will treat it with a "it's just another weekend..." type of attitude. Both Grand Prix and 'The Games' were good this year, but not great... so I'm not getting my hopes up for the final.

I have a waitress plus toy show for Tuesday. I was more asking the girls in Melbourne in re: the clubs as I did well last year when I went down to work in SR during this time. I was just wondering if it is still going good (as I may make a habit of going to Melb to work in the strip clubs this time every year).

Centrefold Lounge

22 King Street Melbourne. Phone +61 3 9620 5077
http://www.centrefoldlounge.com.au/
Contact: Liz

Centrefold Lounge is owned by the Mens Gallery but both are managed separately. If you work at Centrefold you can ask to do the occasional shift at MG and if they can fit u in they will. Sometimes during the week when we close earlier due to not being very busy, they will let u do the rest of the shift at MG.

House Fees [/B]

Centrefold has just introduced a house fee of $30 payable before u start working on thursday, friday, saturday and sundays.
It is still free to work monday, tuesday and wednesday nights.

Centrefold is not open during the day. Shifts begin at 7pm every night except fridays where you are asked to get there at 6pm because the club opens at 7 instead of 8pm.
Of course you can still turn up at whatever time you want but you will not be able to leave until right up to the end in that case.

On weekends if you get there at 7pm you will be put on table set between 8pm and 8:30pm and your last table will be at about 3:30am which is great because you then have a few hours at the end of the shift where you have no table committments and can just try to sell as many dances as possible - this is also the easiest time of night to sell private dances.


Table set committments


You will be expected to do approx one table per hour for 15 minutes. Later in the evening you will do fewer until you get signed off tables (the earlier you started the earlier you will get signed off - see above).
We have 3 main table/podiums and you will be rotated around the different ones but will mainly appear on table 1. You can use this time to sell $20 table dances which are VERY popular at this club. If you approach guys around the table you can usually sell a $20 dance so if you do one every time you're on it can be a nice addition to the rest of your earnings. It is also easier to sell private dances after you have been on table - free advertising I guess.


Centrefold's set up

Centrefold is a truly stunning club and worth coming and having a look at.
It is set over three levels with seven bars, private function rooms, and a stunning mezzanine floor.

When you first enter there is a pool area to your left which has a small pole on it and some chairs there for private dancing. It also has a bar.
on your right is another private dance area that is usually used earlier in the night for private dances as later on when table 2 (located here) opens up - around 10pm guys sit in here to watch the podium so it's not a good place for private dancing coz there might not be a free seat + free perves.

Table 1: is the main stage downstairs it has the tallest pole in Australia going from the bottom floor right up to the top of the second (mezzaine) level. It also has a sexy chase lounge on it - good for when you are tired from too much pole dancing.

Table 2: is on the ground floor also near one of the private dance areas. It is a really small podium and has a small pole. not very good for doing pole tricks on this one but as its just near the entry to the club you can attract quite a lot of attention here. guys often pull up the seats from the private dance area and watch u on podium so u can also sell $20 table dances here.

Table 3: is upstairs. it is a small podium with a small pole on it and a mirror behind it. when its not busy it's good for practising your moves to see what u look like lol.
this table is VERY easy to sell dances on because a lot of traffic moves through this area and as its upstairs away from the main stage guys seem to enjoy sitting up here to get their own private table dance. I usually always sell a table up here - i think its my lucky table.

VIP lounge area:
is on level two also. there is a table with a pole on it for use during private functions or if someone tips you to get up there. there is also a bar here that is open during private functions.
there are couches and chairs and tables for doing $50 dances here.
it is semi-private - guys usually dont just wander into here without a dancer so customers like this area. it is very very dark in here which some customers dont like.
but u can use the VIP line in your sell to get them in there and spend a little extra.

the main open area of level 2 - which is an open mezzanine floor - u can see down to level one - really quite impressive set up has its own bar which is open all night as well as the main bar downstairs.
there are heaps of chairs and couches along the wall to perform private dances.

level 3
is a private function room which is usually used for bucks parties on saturday and sometimes friday nights. it has its own podium with a pole and its own bar and is completely private for the function.
u might get asked to do one of these esp on a saturday night and its a good way for a guaranteed $40. you get paid before the show and it goes for 15 minutes - so you get less than usuall going price but its guaranteed money so most girls dont mind doing it.


Dressing rooms



there are two change rooms. downstairs one is just opposite table 1 and is smaller. has some lockers, a shower, a toilet, lots of mirrors and tables, vending machine with snacks.

the upstairs dressing room has way more lockers, mirrors etc. it's a lot bigger. also has a shower etc.


Dance prices and hustle

$20 for table dances
$20 for one song or $50 for 3 songs.
most guys go for the $50 dances.

Fines

If you are more than 5 mins late to a table set then you have to pay the girl who has been waiting a $30 fine. It is up the individual girl whether she asks u to or not.

If you fail to turn up to a shift without 24 hours notice there is a $50 no-show fine to the club.


Expected earnings

Weeknights
average would be between $100 and $300.
more experienced dancers would probably be able to make more than that.
thursdays are usually busier though.

Weekends
If you work hard and stay out on the floor you should be able to make $500.
More experienced dancers again are probably making a few hundred or so more than that.

Hustle
you definately have to hustle to sell dances.
the guys will occassionally walk up and ask for a dance but this is usually the exception (at least for me and what i see) so you do have to hustle here.


Dress code


very similar to MG. it's a gown club.
you have to wear matching g-string and bra/bikini set and they prefer plain NO prints or lace (boo hoo i love lace).
you can wear a short dress or long gown and you will get away with skirt sets here - some girls wear a bikini top and long skirt but it has to match.
again no loud prints with the dresses.

a costume lady comes in with gorgeous stuff on offer every friday and saturday night.


Working environment/other dancers


This is a BIG plus for centrefold lounge. The dancers are awesome, very friendly and definately welcoming to newcomers.
The other dancers help each other out eg. applying tan to each others backs - even when u are new u can expect this treatment.
I have been surprised at how friendly and awesome the other dancers are and it definately makes working at centrefold enjoyable.

the management team are also just as friendly and care about the dancers.

Our DJ is an awesome guy too and when you are on table he will work up the crowd - complimenting you and reminding them that they can purchase personal dances.

I highly recommend Centrefold Lounge to any level of experienced dancers but its a great place for a newbie to start out - just like me.

It sounds good! Im thinking of trying Melbourne again soonish, maybe I'll try it... Two questions though
Can you tell me how high the stages are roughlt? I cant tell from the website - I need to know because I have 5'6inches of hair and if the stages are too low its a problem because I end up swinging around the poles and slapping customers in the face! ;D

Also do you know if there's a strict shoe polacy for dancers? Would something like any of these below pass if so?

Bugger I had a 3rd pair but they didnt attatch, lol. Oh well...

jaizaine
12-07-2006, 01:52 AM
well stage one is definately high enough to accomodate your hair. it is on the bottom floor and goes right up to the ceiling of the 2nd mezzanine level so it's very very high. table 2 is the same thing but there is not really enough room to do pole tricks coz the actual platform is less than a metre of floor space.
table 3 is not high at all probably less than a metre and a half to the ceiling.

oh im just wondering if u are talking about the height of the "table" or the pole on it to ceiling.
ill answer both. well table to ceiling - as above.

height of tables from floor - table one probably about waist height (sorry im not good with measurements). table one actually looks like a fancy boardroom table so its the standard height of that sort of table - which on me is about up to my hip.

table 2 is slightly higher than that. and table 3 is probably the same height as table one.

they are not overly strict with footwear. u cannot wear boots at all though.
im pretty sure those shoes would be acceptable. most girls wear the classic stripper open-toe spike heels but i have seen a few girls wear different heels - even non-stripper mule type shoes so i think yours would be fine.

12-07-2006, 08:07 PM
Thanks Jaizaine - that was exactly what i needed to know! I would have explained as "waist height" too - thats fine (-: I meant the height of the table from the floor - I should have explained properly, lol!

PERTH
Voodoo Lounge, Northbridge.
I went in on Wednesday night, at 8 pm as requested. The dance manager wasnt there yet, and didnt arrive until around 845.

This SHOULD have been a warning sign.

The club layout is small, but excellent, I would have really enjoyed working there, and from the custie reviews I have heard its one of the nicest places in town.
House fees are $20 a night if you work wed-sat,and go up $10 for each night you DONT work ie if you only worked Sat it would be $50, but Fri-sat is $40 each.
Dance prices are $50 for 15 minutes, in a section off the "members area" in full veiw of the club (by law?)

So tonight I arrive at 7 (as requested), full hair and makeup, nice dress etc. I sat in the car for 30 minutes then tried the door buzzer. No answer. I messaged a manager who I originally spoke to, and he said "sorry babe, we have closed up to go and have showers at home, go have a coffee"

So I wait, and wait.

After being harrassed and propositioned for prostitution (Well I *Did* look like a call girl, in the full stripper outfit) I moved to the opposite street corner.
I waited 1 hour, then tried to find out where the management was.

No answer.

I called hubbie for a ride, and after waiting 1.5 hours, I finally left, with no reply as to WHEN they would be opening the place.

TWO HOURS after I was supposed to be there, I get a call saying "where are you?"

I was already home and showered/changed by that stage.

According to a friend who has since quit there, this is quite common.

Im really disappointed as I loved the set up there, and saw excellent money potential, but I dont htink its worth the messing around.

So if you want to risk wasting time and money waiting for this club to get its act together, feel free to give them a buzz!

Yup they have set hours - open at 8.
So dancers should be there 7.30

Yet they didnt arrive back there till after 9. Thats at least 1.5 hours when everyone should have been making money, and wasnt.

So they have exact hours, yet dont bother to actually KEEP to those hours. I agree, very dodgy!

No one have any updated reviews about the Gold Coast ?

I will say this about the Honey Pot in Darwin. This time of year is also golden for making money there as even me ...someone who goes out of her way to NOT talk to any patrons and just do her stage shows... can get private dances at the moment! ;D

So.. yes.. there IS money to be made in this club even with the 40&#37; cut that they take on each dance. Just that you have to work hard for it IMO and that it is really only one night per week where you do exceptionally well and the rest are mediocre or not worth the effort (as such).

This club is run professionally tho' so they have that going for it.

There is no new club that has opened in Mackay (as far as I'm aware)! If you are speaking about The Doors nightclub that turns into a strip club one day a week (Wednesday) on the main street in the city nightclub precinct part of Mackay then you are very very mislead. See my MACKAY thread. I'm far from impressed about that place and it is a rip-off paying $60 to work there.

If you are not speaking about this "strip club" then please do tell more! ;D

I am.. but they now pay YOU $200 to work there and are going to start paying $500 because it's so shit! No girl will go there anymore (but for $500 on a wednesday, I sure will).

Watch out for a girl named P------ if she goes with you... I sent you a PM... but she will be the one who undercuts you after making an agreement not to.

I know which girl you are speaking and it is such a shame that she doesn't think she is worth $50 for a topless private dance (has to under-cut to make money). I worked with her one time before in that particular "strip club" and wondered why she was making money (granted, that night I made money as well without doing much as I charged more).

I always work on the principle: work smarter not harder. Thus I rather do a few higher priced dances than 100s of smaller priced ones. Plus I know my value. I have enough confidence in myself and my private dances that I refuse to undercut myself.

As for girls working there, they will always have girls from around the place there just not enough. They require something like 6 or so girls every week and there just isn't that many locally or even from Townsville (which is regarded kinda as locally) to cover it hence they have to import girls. I now feel royally ripped off that I was CHARGED to work there.



UPDATE: Hooters Gold Coast is no more. It has had a name change recently and thus I'm guessing a management change?? I have no idea however I may go find out soon as the night or two before the Big Day Out ( http://www.bigdayout.com/cities/goldcoast.php ) is always good to work in the strip clubs. I can do a night or two locally however no more than that per week or per month (if possible).

Yeah.. she was cutting to $30 a dance... it was very unfortunate. And they do require six girls a week. And ONLY those six girls work now, nobody else.

And Hooters is now called something ROYALLY stupid... but I forgot what.

In answer to the last two posts: Hooters is now Toy Box. Yes the name isn't so crash hot (lol) however they have the advantage now (at the very least) that people won't mistaken it for the Hooters chain of restaurants (alot of people did before they went up the stairs and saw that it was in fact a strip club). As for Mackay, you have to book thru one of the many agencies that book that "strip club". I would recommend it personally and I highly doubt they will go thru with the $500 base pay offer as that is alot of money to offer for ONE NIGHT of work.

For Mackay, try Red Hot Strippers (Brisbane) or Delicious Entertainment (Mackay). Both can be found in the Yellow Pages.

How is Melbourne at this time of year? I'm seriously thinking of turning this last week before, during and around NYE into a working holiday next year instead of being in Darwin. Why? Kill two birds with one stone. I will work to make money and make the whole trip a business trip whilst also being able to catch up with family (my younger brother) and friends. Plus I figure Melbourne would know how to put on a good show for the Xmas / NYE period for us visitors ;D

Anyone working this period in Melbourne? Any clubs open Xmas eve and/or NYE ? What's it like? I know it is pretty much hit/miss this period here on the Gold Coast strip club wise.

Yes you did however I personally won't be returning to do that one anytime soon. I dispised doing the raffles. I really really don't like them. I would have much preferred being an actual topless waitress (getting drinks) than raffles anyday. There are absolutely no tips to be made in raffles. The topless girl at Taylors is the one earning all the tips!

I just wish I could go up there, work that one day in that "strip club" (and be PAID for that one day instead of HAVING TO PAY $60 TO WORK THERE) as well as do private party shows.... and no raffles, only pub waitressing! That would work brilliant however only JoAnne's offers that contract.

I send the girls up for Delicious Entertainment :S and as far as I know the girls that go from Red Hot are also going up to work for Delicious

and the strip club is optional you can either take that night off and rest or get shows if they are on, or you can work at the club!

Ok, I have done alot of research and have found that

1. Red Hot Strippers do not do contacts in Mackay
2. Jo-annes does not do contacts in Mackay
3. Pin-up Promotions does contracts to Mackay
4. Only their well known girls like Phoenix, Sapphire etc go up there for them

So girls, if you do want to do a contract in Mackay, please contact me, and not jo-annes or red hot, unless you are going to scale the ranks of pin-up in no time!!

Thought I would investigate to clear the air!

I thought they were the one and the same agent/agency. Plus as for their top girls being the only ones going up there... the girl that was up there at the time I was there doesn't appear on either website ... she is just one of the many girls on the books of the agency.

As for Red Hot, they do "one night" sort of contracts not lengthy ones like yourself on behalf of Delicious Entertainment.

Also for 2007 the girls going up for me on behalf of Delicious will be doing the WAITRESSING at taylors lakes rather then the RAFFLES!! any girls who would like to do this booking must be prapared to go after end of MARCH as I have booked nearly every shift between now and then!

Thanks!

As for RH doing contracts in Mackay, they do not do them through Delicious and re: Pinup, Joannes, yes they maybe the smae, with the same girls, however I have been told that Jo;s don't do the Mackay contract. and that Pinup is seperate to the one I offer....

Yet another Job Change.....
Current mood: hungry

So, I've quit dancing... There's absolutely no money in stripping in brisbane anymore! Men are so stingy these days lol. So I got a bar job at Minx...The club is such a failure, its so quiet its not funny! Last night should have been busy, but I was standing behind the bar twiddling my thumbs half the night... And they have 4 bar chicks on! Oh well, at least I'm getting paid for an easy job... The uniforms suck as well, and they make us wear knee-high boots (who-ever thought of that uniform obviously hasn't worked behind a bar before lol), but the wage is more than i've ever been paid before....
It was kinda sad leaving Scores, but I'm sure I'll be back there on my drunken escapades in the valley lol.


It may be from a bar chick perspective however if the bar is far from busy... I can't image what it would be like for the dancers as we all know alcohol is definately a requirement in how easy some people are with their money.

I also came across a profile of a chic who's a dancer at Playgirls Australia (Wollongong, NSW) ......wow... anyone heard ANYTHING about this particular club? I'll send her a message seeing if she can give me any information I can pass on ....

Just took a trip up the coast and have to say Crazy Horse was awesome, the girls are gorgeous and really friendly! Players and Hollywood were crap. We had the best time at CH and I would definately consider working there over the other 2. H'wood was nice looking but the girls were bitchy and Players made us wait 25mins till someone came on stage! Not good. I reckon CH is the way to go!

Ahahaha, I could've told you Minx was dead. It was already bad and then they raised the door prices. Dumbasses.

Wow, someone liked Crazy Horse, lol!
I think as far as being a customer goes I probably like CH better than Players too.

The only reason I still do not want to work at Crazy Horse is because I fear the other dancers. In all the time I worked locally (when I first started), all I would hear about the place is how territorial and clique-y the place was... and how girls would fight.. steal other girls shit and so forth... then there is Brett... hearing how he sometimes determines if you are working or not that night... then there is the whole "stage thing" where you go around the room topless for quick 30 sec (if that) dances if anyone has any tips... I am not comfortable with that concept...

Are you able to post a proper review of the club ? Just create a new post and tell us everything you know about it as it is under-reviewed. There is plenty of information about Players and Hollywood however hardly if any information (real information: opening times, shifts, how much it costs per night to work, what is expected in lap dances, what is expected of you as a dancer, any restrictions on dress, what are the dance prices, how many patrons per night, and so forth) on Crazy Horse.

I doubt the rumours are anything to worry about except I dont know anything about Brett or who he is so I cant comment there. As far as dancers go I imagine they're the same as anywhere else over-all.
The topless around the room thing / customer envolvement is sorta stupid IMO ;D I might go there to check it out sometime.

Well, I have come to accept that I will never truely "make it" here locally in re: private parties so I am going to start travelling again. I'm hoping I will be approved for a credit card soon so I can use it to help fund my trips (and since I am using it for business expenses not personal ones it is all including any interest tax deductible!) to places like Townsville and Melbourne - both lucrative places.

Whilst also doing my Darwin and Mackay contracts other months.

I'll continue to dance at Players Showgirls whenever I am home each Monday and Wednesday (maybe taking up a third night) and continue to make myself available for work when I am home (private parties) ....... yet I won't rely on it as much as I do at the moment. I will go back to doing what seemed to work for me in the past: being a travelling stripper and accepting whatever private party/agency work I get as a bonus whenever I am home alongside working at Players two nights per week.

;D So stay tuned for updates from me.

You only tried waitressing for half a week before you started promoting yourself, woman... don't you think you should have stuck it out a bit longer to get on everyone's good side? It's pretty bad-looking when you go "I'll accept your work!... except I'll advertise mine three days later." (the website and the working at players)

99.9&#37; of the work I get - I am not asked for specifically. Trying to get asked for specifically is probably not going to work for you... you need to get the agents to open up to you.. because if they don't like you, they could be getting the calls for you and saying 'Oh she's busy', when you're not! That's just how agent-anger works - just like Hollywood.

You may hate the politics, you may hate the waitressing, you may hate all of those things - but that's how they work.. that's how they're made.

Let me put it this way.. and PLEASE don't think I'm trying to be mean:

You're an agent... you have two girls. One says they will do waitressing but only if it's two hours, only if it's with this girl, only if you guaranteed a show no matter what, only if it's not with x, xx, or xxx, only if it's not raffles, mostly if it's not a pub, but go back and forth on only doing shows.

Girl two will pick all of it up.

... who are you most likely to give the majority of the work to? The girl who's rules contain so many 'only ifs' or the girl who is open and willing to do the hard stuff? EVEN IF the work they get called for is 'two hours of waitressing with x and a show!' (which is... how likely?) they would still end up getting x and b, because b didn't put all those limitations on herself.

Maybe it's not because others are limiting you, maybe it's because you're limiting yourself?

Don't kill the messenger... this is just what I'm seeing... and hearing.

unfortunately, lilith raises a very, very valid point.

agents like the girls who are less hassle. agents like the girls who play by the rules and do what they're told. they quite simply will NOT allow you to say "i will do A, B and D, but not C, and i'll only do D if A is involved, and i will not do E under any circumstances" when there's another girl who is quite happy to do A, B, C, D or E. (the only exception i know of being Risque, my former agent, who like to keep their showgirls and waitresses entirely separate. but even then, i had to work my ass off as a waitress for them for well over a year before i 'graduated')

Before you start anything please get your facts straight. I did (agency) waitressing for a damn good length of time before I crashed and burned (I did burn out). It was much longer than half a week. I had been doing waitressing ever since I started with Catharines years ago now and it just all came to a head in September last year (when I burnt out).

edit to add: just fyi i was with catharines as my sole agent whilst working in strip clubs in melbourne for over a year before i started to approach other agencies for work and i did get alot of work at one point.. alot of waitressing work (more than showgirl as i wasn't comfortable with xxx shows for ages)... it was when i was at my busiest that i burnt out.

Plus have you BEEN to my website ? For christ sake Morr... go to the website! It is just a website version of my MySpace page... very generic. It promotes no one except myself just like my MySpace page did for ages. Plus the working at Players has NOTHING to do with the agents. Actually Mild2Wild is the one who suggested I give it a go. *sheesh*

As much as club politics is bs. I deal with it better than I do agency politics (imo).

What's wrong with me deciding to go another way with my work? I am actually re-verting back to what I was originally doing (for nearly four years) before I was "distracted" by the lure of private party dancing. I'm happy with my decision.

edit to add: i did accept everything and anything given to me....... and that is why i burnt out. i had to quit. if i had continued it would be all bad news for me and who knows what and where i would be now if i had not quit when i did. seriously. it was soul-destroying for me. i saw the signs. i put a stop to it before i could get any worse. showgirl work is different for me - totally different.

when I did private party work for agencies in qld, me and my best friend joined up together, however we were never given jobs together at all... except on one ocassion when they had seriosly ran out of girls for that weekend, and I had to travel to sunshine coast.. I did get alot of work, however I was on call 24/7...

It is hard to know who to give work to as an agency, although I dont play favourites, I do have a list of reliable and a list of unreliable girls, if by chance I only have 1 unreliable girl available, I will book her and fingers crossed she will do the rigth thing! Unfortnunatly my list of unreliable girls exceeds my reliable ones..

I know every one hates waitress, however as I actively have jobs in QLD, NSW and VIC (other states are slowly getting built up) and I hate to waitress... however this weekend I have over booked in VIC and I will be doing 3 hours of topless waitress @ a private party!

Not really looking forward to it, however I do understand we all have to do sometihng in our life that we are not happy doing!

Look at all the major business people, do you think they love their work? No... But they do it why? Because it is a job! nothing more! It puts food on the table, it keeps money coming in and keeps them busy! I infact dont know any one who LOVES their job... even people who claim they do, they will still have days when they say FUCK IT! I am over this crap - that is the way business goes!!
