My club is closing
We had a meeting earlier today and it is now official, the Seattle Lusty Lady is closing. We will be open until mid-June. The last days being June 11th and 12th will be a two day straight Play Day. Besides that video booths and the private booth will be open until June 27th.
This club has been amazing, I was lucky enough to work there (only for two months, four once we close) but I feel I've been lucky to be part of Seattle history and work at such a unique club. Some girls have worked here for years. Since it was peepshow the girls aren't competition and we've all been pretty close so it's going to be hard to say goodbye. Seattle has lost a monument.
Now I guess I have to wonder what's next? It's sad that this economy has gotten so bad that strippers are even losing their jobs.

ETA: the timing is funny, not the closing.

Re: My club is closing
Did they say why they are actually closing versus making changes to how the club is run? Will it be up for sale?
Sorry to hear this!

Re: My club is closing
Its closing. We've tried a lot of things, cutting wages (twice), negotiating with the landlord, cutting days, and we really can't get it out of the ground. I'm happy they at least have given us a lot of time to look for new jobs and such.

Why are all the peepshows going bye bye? :(

Re: My club is closing
I think my home club in California is closing soon. They are changing around stuff a lot. Just 2 weeks ago lowered prices for dances and VIPs. It's still not bringing in more customers. Sorry to hear about your club, I hope things change soon for all of us in this industry.

Re: My club is closing
This sucks so much. I love the Lusty, it is a true Seattle institution and that area won't be the same without it. The marquee is always so funny to read! I will have to drag my fiance in there before it closes, he's never been. Sorry you'll be out of a job K Sweet :(

Re: My club is closing
Come in and see me! My name is stage name is Tanya.
We get an hourly rate, it started at $10/hr, before that it was $12, then $14. That's how bad it's gotten. Top dancers make $15/hr, when a few years back they made $27.
I'm really going to miss working there, the staff was so close. It was really a wonderful place to work.
I don't think SF is as bad as ours, but no one is really doing well. They are a co-op, we are not.
I'm stopping by a new club today. I think a lot of Lusties are going to try to work there since it opened just days ago.

Re: My club is closing
Do you make anything aside from hourly?
-
Re: My club is closing
Yeah we have a private booth which is commissioned, so I get 50% of what I get in there. Lately it's been $50 for an hour session. So a a few hours dancing and a booth isn't a bad shift.

Re: My club is closing
I'd suggest working at the new club, Dream Girls, correct? I've worked with the manager of that club and he's pretty cool; just be wary of the girls that work there because a lot of them who transferred from my old club are serious cunts.

Re: My club is closing
I stopped by there last night! And met the manager, Tony right? I don't know how I feel about it because it looks like its only going to do well on game nights, if that. Not a busy area. But I'm a Mariners fan, so maybe I can play that up.;)
A lot of girls were sitting around too, but there was about an equal dancer to costumer ratio, 20:20. Is that good or bad?
A few Lusties are gonna check it out too.
Oh and Ron Jeremy was there, haha.:D

I am happy to have been a part of the Lusty in Seattle for a short stretch as well.
