I'm getting better slowly. I missed work last night and will again tonight but my fever is down a little and I just need to clear some of this chest congestion. :fever:

^^ Gonna try!!! It depends on the weather- that's a looong ride- I just bought a tankbag for extra luggage space (it's so cute!) to fit my stripper shit, and if it's not super-cold that weekend, then I'm riding out. during the day. ;D If it's freezing, then it's just not safe... 3 1/2 hrs of 80-90 mph and my hands'll go numb super-quick. But i'm sure as hell going to try! (I am SOOO excited!)

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that they don't let contestants use the dancers' dressing room because they "have had a problem with stealing", so they were going to section off part of the club and let us do our getting ready there. So if you want to arrive with your hair and makeup done already that might be the best thing cuz I'm not sure about lighting or mirrors or anything.
Also you are not allowed to talk to staff (aside from the door guy), house dancers or customers before the contest. They tell you very specifically that you're disqualified if you do.

uhh.. WEIRD!!!! what about outfits??? if there's no dressing room.... is there a ladies bathroom at least??
Yay!!! Well let me know when you know for sure so I can schedule with my photog!!!!
ooOH awesome! will do indeed!

They did say you could use the ladies room. :)

Yeah.. The thing is, aside from stealing, there really isn't enough space in the dressing room for 6+ more girls on a wednesday night. It's a pretty small dressing room, and I know I wouldn't be comfortable with 6 random girls (many of them who really do look like genuine crack-ho's who heard about this contest and decided it was the best way to get $250 for their next hit..:-\ ) all up on my stuff every wednesday..
There is the ladies' restroom, but it's also small, and not really suitable for doing makeup. Definitely arrive with hair and makeup done, then you can change in the restroom, or in the corner of the club they have sectioned off for amateur night.
That rule about not talking to dancers before the contest is lame.. But we can hang out for as long as we want afterwards :)

alright- so.... coming in the car, obviously.... :'( just one more question- what is the dress code?? I've never been to a SR before. I know it's nude on stage, but how about the floor? All I have is long mesh-y stuff... will that do? (I guess I have a few skirt/bra combos.... is it a gown club? t-back rule? butt half-covered?) thanks ;)
lolagetz
10-23-2007, 02:46 AM
On the floor is the butt half-covered rule, and that's it, but they don't enforce any dress code rules for the contestants. :) Mesh stuff is fine; it counts as "covering" in the butt half-covered rule.

poifect. ;D danke schoen. Oh! and... (sorry... thanks for answering q's) do they play cd's we bring or must we select from dj's stuff?
lolagetz
10-23-2007, 11:48 AM
They let you pick a genre of music and the DJ chooses from that. When I did it, I told them 70's and 80's rock, but I KNEW the DJ would choose Aerosmith based on that (whom I hate with a passion.. :P) so right before it was my turn I just went up to the DJ booth and said to him, "Is it possible to get some David Bowie?" In retrospect I should have tipped him at the time, but for some reason I didn't think of it. Anyway, I went up there and danced to Bowie and everything was fine :) They definitely won't let you bring a CD, though, or probably even choose a specific song from the DJ's collection.

^damn. well, thanks for the info. uhh... what the hell do i ask for then??? :-\ :-\
*sigh* with my luck it'll be crap. meh... i'll ask for classic rock. can't end up with something TOO horrible, right? unless he decides to play "down on main st." or something equally sadistic. :P

The wed. night DJ, Frankie, is completely awesome. He has GREAT taste in music. I only said I thought he would play Aerosmith because that's before I knew him, and that's what a typical DJ would play. Frankie doesn't play crappy music unless one of the dancers makes him during their stage set.

Gooooodluck to you girls going to Rialto! I'm sure you'll kick some serious ass. }:D
I'd come cheer you on but I'm still happily loaded on painkillers recovering from surgery.

I'm bleeding like crazy but I'm just gonna stuff myself full of tampons (not literally - well, sort of) and just do the contest.
If you see a blonde chick with an Evil Cunt tattoo riding a very absorbent sheep into the parking lot, that would be me.

BAAAAAAA!!! Thank you for the most awesome mental picture of my life. I'm picturing this hybrid sheep/tampon contraption hahahaha. It's hilariously cartoonish nonetheless.
Ok, I'm weird.

staph?? ew! i hope not! no reason it should be staph.... the only time it's been uncovered is while i've been sleeping... i've had it bandaged with tea tree/ vit. e/ neosporin the rest... but who knows... i'll find out in an hr. it only turned icky yesterday.

Oh man, that's horrible! Yeah, there's no way you could dance on that thing. Good luck, and happy healing! :)

Aww Embyr!! That looks horrible! Take care of yourself and get well soon.
Yek, I am gonna call you in a sec. I want someone to do the contest with me!

ARRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :banghead:
This is the THIRD time I have been turned away from this particular Spearmint Rhino because of some corporate garbage of either being too late, not the right day, or not having enough people. I wanted to strangle the door guy because I got there 20 minutes late (not because I'm lazy but because I got lost) and he would not let me in. I got there right before 9. I'm not ugly, I'm not fat, I'm not sloppily dressed or bad smelling. I can't figure out why they won't just give me a fucking job or even let me get naked on their stage for a few songs!
I hereby curse Spearmint Rhino and all it's bureaucratic bullshit. Sorry lolagetz, but your club blows and I am furious right now.
Embyr
10-24-2007, 09:52 PM
OH WTF???? You're kidding!!!!! Maybe I SHOULD go and scrape my knee on their dj booth. }:D (kidding. no offense, lola)
seriously though- damn, alexxa, i am so sorry!!! what a waste of your time and effort... and a disappointment... poo!
AlexxaHex
10-25-2007, 01:14 AM
Your knee germs are too good for them, Embyr. LOL
The club itself or the customers might be cool but goddamn! It's like trying to get into MENSA or something. I really just need to get out of SoCal.

10-25-2007, 02:50 AM
That was such bullshit. I would be furious too. I PMed you.. I want to make sure I know who you talked to so I can tell them what idiotic assholes they were. If you were there before 9, that should have been plenty of time.. the contest doesn't actually go on until like 9:30!
And the money was crappy tonight.. ugh.. it's going downhill.. I used to be optimistic about this club, but the money has started to steadily decline. I think I need to have a vacation for a month or so.. Way too many girls and too few paying customers.
Yekhefah
10-25-2007, 07:43 AM
I'm sorry, Alexxa! Now I wish I'd gone so we at least could've gone out afterwards to sit around and bitch about what assholes they were. Want to come to the E with me today?

I made sure to be totally ready except for my outfit and jewelry because of the DR situation. So it would have taken me 5 or 10 minutes total to get ready. Maybe I should have said that but the door guy seemed intent on keeping it closed off and very unsympathetic to the fact that I was visibly upset. As I was leaving I yelled a very sarcastic "THANK YOU" in front of some customers. lol He's lucky I didn't cause a big New York style scene like I felt like doing after all the crap that club has given me.
I'm sorry, Alexxa! Now I wish I'd gone so we at least could've gone out afterwards to sit around and bitch about what assholes they were. Want to come to the E with me today?
I'm scheduled to work at my current club and I don't want to piss off my manager today because he's awesome and we usually don't have too many girls on Thursdays. Plus I am supposed to be picking my friend up. I was thinking of going back to E on Sunday if you're up for it. Or if you feel like working a shift out here away from the smoke tonight I am sure you could get hired. PM or call me if you want details.
