day versus night and my hellish audition
so I auditioned....honestly it wasn't that bad. What happened pissed me off a bit. The house mom loved me said I was amazing...three strippers said I was amazing for a new girl and that I wwas gonna bank because there is no blondes on night shift....hell two bouncers even said they loved me and I need to work there and many customers tipped me for my audition. The the house mom goes the shift manager on tonight doesnt want you here b ut I do so hold on....goes and says I can do nights at dive they own a million miles away which all the girls and housemom said dont go to or I can work days at the club since the manager wont be there.....i dont know how i can get so many compliments from everyone but then get told to go away and they all acted like day shift was a death sentence....so is it? What is your opinion on it? I obviously sucked or something for this guy to be so mean about it I mean he barely even made eye contact with me. ughhhh maybe im not made for it.
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
I would say give it a try on days for a little while and if not working out you could always audition at another club
P.S.(I didn't ignore your PM yesterday, my comp just isn't letting me respond to them :) )
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
^ Definitely, I want to start days or weeknights, just so I can get used to things without all the chaos. Starting out slow doesn't seem that bad.
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
can u give me the name of those stores in lakewood and brook park?
the house mom wrote me an email saying the guy is a prick and shes seeing what she cand o because shes pissed. which i guess makes me feel a little bit better.
honestly at this point im ready to be ike fuck it....cause honestly i really liked the club and the house mom actually mae it for me she is a freaking amazing lady....i just don't get how everyone can tell me that i was amazing and shit i even made more int ips in my set than the two girls before moe or after me and the guy barely looks at me and idsmisses me. is there something i dont know about about managers lol
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
i was told by the girls and mom that id lose money for a few weeks which doesnt sit wellw ith me...i dont mind not making as much but losing money for a few weeks...if i could afford to do that iw ouldnt be stripping lol
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
Some guys are bitches at first because they have preconceived notions about newbies, or maybe he thinks you won't put that much effort into selling dances. *shrug* Fuck em, housemom sounds like she'll take care of you. All he does it 'manage' the club. You'll do great, sounds like! :)
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
Well I've never been to the brookpark store but 'the mission' in lakewood is a decent store(its near the corner on madison+warren)
And like firewall said that guy just sounds like a jerk-off, whatever you decide i'm sure you'll do fine
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
What the hell kind of club doesn't have ANY blondes on nightshift? I mean, really? I didn't think such a place existed. Everywhere I have ever worked at least 60% of the girls were some degree of blonde.

seriously! the only blonde on night shift? like how does that work, how does the club stay in business?? ;)
no really though, that's incredibly odd. i guess the night shift manager just doesn't like blondes or something? he sounds like a complete douche, i can't believe he's being such an ass and the housemom is so nice.
i don't think you would actually be like negative money from working day shift, they just mean that you'll lose money in the sense that you're not making what you could be at night. it might not be a horrible idea to work a few day shifts for 2 weeks or so and see if you could transition to night that way.
and if 9 people loved you and 1 didn't like you, who cares. i mean, it sucks totally that the 1 person that doesn't is the one in charge, BUT i still wouldn't take it personally whatsoever. maybe he just doesn't want to deal with a girl that hasn't danced before? not like its difficult or anything, but who knows about this dude. sounds like he's got his own issues that i wouldn't concern myself with.
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
yeah I agree, i thought it was very odd. plus a brunette that hadn't stripped before auditioned after me and the house mom wrote me an email about how mad she was because he wanted her and she said I was better at dancing and personality. I think he must have been married to a blonde and she divorced him lol. I am dead serious though even the bouncers were complaining about how they wanted blonde girls and how everywhere they looked were brunettes. it was very weird. I figured I would blend in being blonde but apparently I stood out like a sore thumb. I just don't know if I will like the day shift dynamics? do you guys feels the girls are nicer on day shift or more competetive since there is less custies? I just know alot of day guys want their regulars and i am not one of them. I guess it is three bucks cheaper to dance during the day (you have to tip the housemom 7 instead of ten) and its 15 to dj and 20 is due when you arrive at club. I just worry I will definately come in the hole because that place is dead during the day. Oh but they do have blondes :)
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
^ well if there's not really a chance of moving to night shift in 2 weeks or so, i'd say fuck the whole club. i mean, this guy obviously has a real problem with blondes, and i honestly can't believe a club could thrive at night without blondes. i don't think blondes are amazing or better than brunettes at all, just different and something a lot of men like in a stripper. are there any other good clubs you could try? the dive is too far away for you or you don't even want to try because of what the girls said? sometimes girls in gown clubs are going to talk negatively of any dive, but they can be a great place to learn the ropes. and sometimes being the hottest chick at a dive can make you lots of money.
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
yeah...the housemom said in her email that if i do really well on monday she is gonna show up early and make sure ig et transferred to nights...problem is honestly and I know it sounds babyish and stupid.....i just kinda feel like shit from the experience...i mean i certainly am not devestated or heartbroken by it but it does show me how one prick can suck the life out of you lol. the house mom swears she will get me to nightsbut also i wont really ever see her on days so I am not sure if that is just to get me to stay there. I really like her she danced for twenty years shes very sweet i saw all the girls come to her for support. hell she was YELLING at the night manager i heard her take him in the private room and say are you fucking nuts lol....even the other girls who i expected to pretty much ignore me were like he is a dick i hate him the day manager is so nice but you wont make money because only regulars come in.....
so i am stuck....do i do days and try to kick ass and hope the hm keeps her word and gets me to nights ( she said my dancing was great but i honestly feel now that i need to like take lessons hahaha ) i know i am confident that was never an issue with me i run around naked and love it. or do i go to another bar or do i just ask to come back in a few weeks and re audition?
i know what will kill me is i cant do pole tricks but i only saw three of like the20 girls there actually do them....maybe if i learned pole? i mean i can do basic things but i have never had a pole to practice anything on so how would i know anything advanced?
part of me is like well if the night manager is a prick then maybe days will be better for me even though the hm is worse than the night one?
i also think they sold me some jacked up heels at the store because my right platform wiggles way too much to be stable on stage.
I asked the manager what id id wrong an dhe walked away from me too......so now i am a nut case because i figured at least if i didnt get hired i would get feedback :)
the one girl did tell me that i will be the prettiest in the face and youngest on days though so maybe i will develop some custies?? i do have ood convo skills and ic an start a convo with anyone. and the one girl told me that day custies unlike nights do not want asked for a dance until after you talk to them for a few songs (she worked a few days once). The hm did offer me the ability to work sat and sun nights if i wanted though as i guess they cant get any night girls in there on those days.
sorry for the rant but i want all the lovely ladies on here to tell me in their honest opinion what my best bet would be.

I think there's only like, 2 blondes at my club
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
I've worked at clubs where you had to pull the shit shifts before you could get the good ones. Maybe that's the deal.
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
i thought that might have been the deal till the girl who had no experience and couldnt dance at all and just sat there covering her breasts the whole time acting like a retard got hired for nights lol....oh well i guess i learned a lesson from the whole ordeal
Re: day versus night and my hellish audition
its incredibly hard not to take this business personally, but you just have to work on that constantly. i completely think you should go in during the day for a little bit, if nothing else it will be practice on the pole. pole tricks are not as important as people not in the business think.
the other day i told a guy i was talking to at an event that my job can be hard too, and he was like "yes definitely, you have to like go upside down on the pole!" like being serious. i'm like "asshole, doing pole tricks is the least hard part about my job."
but the stage time during the day will get you feeling more comfortable. and you might end up with some regulars that like the new pretty girl. that happens a lot. i say give days a shot, in a week or two bring up working a few nights. if it doesn't happen after 2 weeks or so and you're not making enough money during the day, tell them you will be forced to leave to work nights at another club, but maybe you could come back to re-audition there after some time somewhere else.
no matter what keep telling yourself that this one asshole manager does not control your whole life. he controls who works nights at one club in cleveland. he's not the end all be all of stripping. there's a lot else out there for you as long as you stay positive and confident. good luck babes!

This is so true. Expect to get all kinds of unwelcome comments from everyone in the club, including other dancers. I have only been dancing for about 4 months, and at my new club, I've had some of the regular girls ask me if I'm new, in a kind of condescending way, as if it's horribly obvious that I don't know what I'm doing. I know that it's their passive aggressive way of trying to bring me down and ruin my stripper mojo, so I let it slide, get back on the floor, and make my money.
If you start doing well, it is very likely that some of the girls will get jealous and try to take you down. So, anticipate it and don't let them.
