I never lend eye makeup (pinkeye - yum!) and most makeup I keep to myself for hygiene reasons..and I only ever wear one outfit, so no one asks me to borrow clothes!
I'm pretty free with the cheap perfume, gum and smokes though....no point in being tight for the sake of it - and there's always a day where I've run out!
I would never lend clothes/shoes because it would be a hassle to get back, especially if we're leaving at different times. If I brought make up or a hair straightener or whatever, I wouldn't mind sharing it while we were both in the DR together. Definitely wouldn't just leave that shit with her while I go out on the floor. Most of the girls I work with bring their own shit though, although there is the occasional girl who needs a straightener, chapstick, or a cigarette. Basically, if I have it and would be okay with never getting it back, I share. I share snacks often though!
I'm not a drugstore. Girls need to come prepared.
I will say yes the first couple times then after that I will make a snide comment about them getting their own shit since they are strippers and all and should be able to afford it.
I would always share my stuff.
(I have a hard time saying no.)
I hated it though. There were so many times I lent out outfits that I've never seen again.
Then the majority of the girls I lent stuff out to, they made more than all the girls combined and could very easily afford the $4 Covergirl foundation they were constantly asking to borrow.
The dollar hairspray, the $6 body spray...ugh...
Being nice sucks sometimes.
(I forgot, I even let some girl wear my damn hair extensions one night. I haven't seen them since.)
yes, but def not at some of the other clubs i've worked. the girls i work with now borrow stuff all the time, and i know i could borrow things from them if i needed to. we're like a family. <3
I'll let certain girls borrow some things - lie curling iron, hairspray, etc. Never makeup or outfits.
Depends on the item, the most common item asked from me was gum. I dont mind giving a baby wipe, body spray here and there, but most times, girls only asked me for items when they saw it in my hand, never randomly. Clothes and such items I need (make up etc) I dont share, but no one asked me to borrow or use bigger things.
Certain girls I knew would repay I would borrow things. I would never borrow makeup to anyone though for hygiene reasons.
Ohhhh...LOL
I think it was one night we were all playing dress up. Emily was putting on boots, and gloves and pirate hats. It was soooo dead! Good times though. :D
I chose the fuck off option!
I won't share eyeliner/mascara at all... But, a few of the dancers I'm closer with will share lots of things.. we help one another out.. sets a good feel between the girls in the dressing room.
and, I'll give anybody a piece of gum or mouthwash... purell .. eyelash glue..spray deodorant etc.. l or let them use my blow dryer/straightener/curling iron.. as long as I'm right there so I know I'll get it back.
I know it's a competitive work environment but, I believe in karma and there have been a few times I forgot something little and someone helped me.. and also, it doesn't really happen every day.
only with certain girls.
Depends on the item and whether or not I know the girl.
I don't get asked very much, and if I do its usually by a close friend. There was one point mast year when my club tried making us wear gowns, and being the only girl that owned any, I had to lend mine out. But I told the girls that my favourite black one was off limits.
I have ALOT of outfits and they are all really nice and EVERY night there's a girl (if not several) that ask "Can I go through your stuff, I'm tired of all mine....?" and I always break down and let them. It's almost always girls who make 3 times more than me and have no reason why they can't go out and buy their own stuff! And I'm not trying to be rude but I especially hate when it's someone who has an very obviosuly different body type than me asking to borrow my outfits that fit me...after getting things back stained, broke, stretched out or even pieces missing I've decided that I'm done being nice and lending out outfits, it's a small club so it's pretty much the same girls...I wouldn't mind if it was a every now and then thing but it's gotten to the point where they don't go out and buy their own stuff they just rely on borrowing everyone else's stuff they earned with their own hard cash and I'm done paying for outfits to supply to everyone else....
I arrive at work with my makeup on. I bring two costumes and my shoes. I don't loan anything out, especially not my telephone. Once you decide you aren't going to be taken advantage of other women will normally just sense it and avoid asking. That and I am not at work to socialize or be anyone's friend. I am there to make money and the other girls are my competition. I earn every dollar I make and I don't plan to stay in this line of work forever. I am nice whenever possible but I don't have time to be used or taken advantage of.
I would never lend ANYBODY my clothes & shoes. I pay a lot of money for that shit & I want to preserve them as much as possible, so fucks NO!!
Go buy your own shit & get your own style(bc u obv aint got none if u want other ppl's shit)..
I can't believe some girls even have to balls to ask other girls to lend them their stuff. I have no problem saying no.
how do you get around it?
outfits- i dont want to have to wash it again...?
makeup- dont bring any with you
anything else?
I've loaned stuff out and never gotten it back, or if it came back it was stained or ripped. So I have no problems saying "No" to anyone who asks.
It also annoys me that girls who've been dancing longer than a month can't remember to bring tampons, baby wipes, body spray or ANYTHING else. REALLY?!
