bad night, bad week!!
I have been having a crappy week. Just got home from working 3 shifts in a row and havn't broken $100 on a shift after house fee/tip out yet this week. It is depressing. I know its not just me because some girls walked owing on their house fee, but some girls still made good money.
I hustled SO HARD and gave 4 diff guys dances tonite, but they all only wanted one dance, and only one tipped even though I told all of them the dance cost $20 plus tip. I got home and cried tonite :(
Sometimes I am too nice/bubbly/chatty, thats all I can think of.
How do I come off as more sexy/slutty/demanding to get those dances? How do I stop being the nice/cool girl and start being the girl in the VIP room?
:-\:'(
i have to work again tomorrow night, then again mon and tues, I seriously need a pep talk.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Don't take it personally, we all go through bad spells. Try to keep your spirits up - pamper yourself a bit and remember how gorgeous and interesting you are. Guy have in the past and will again spend a fucking fortune just to be in your presence. Keep your eyes on the prize and it will pick up again :)
Maybe read through hustle hut again to get in the sales mood.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Me too baby. :( I think it's just a rotten week in Portland all 'round. Wednesday night not a single girl sold a dance all night, and I was working with two profoundly hot women. Last night wasn't *quite* as bad, but there were a ton of rude customers and it just felt like we were all working so hard to make anything at all...Ugh! It's been a demoralizing week for me.
Chin up. It can only get better from here.

Thanks sweetie, I thought since it was the Rose Festival it would be good but it seems like even though its busy every one is cheap and rude :(
The sailors also SUCK I have yet to see a single one get a lap dance. Just gonna hang in there I guess....I'm going to try and change my makeup/look up tonite to see if that helps. Also try to be more demanding. I know that sounds dumb but I swear I am way too nice.

Re: bad night, bad week!!

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Awful week here in Colorado Springs as well.
I'm going to take a vacation and hopefully when I get back its better.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
unfortunately people are so tight with money nowadays that not every night will be great but you have to take the good with the bad. I hope you're saving money at least so you have some extra padding in case there's a bad MONTH and it could happen :\

Re: bad night, bad week!!
It's funny that you're talking about changing your look and being less nice/more demanding. I've been doing the cutesy punk/schoolgirl thing for the last couple months, got bored with it, and changed my look to be a little more dark/sophisticated -- and customers *hated* it! I got so much of the "you don't care, you're a jaded stripper" kind of crap that night it was unbelievable.
When I went back to the pigtails and knee socks the next night it was back to "Oh you sweetie! Let's go do a dance!"
Maybe I just can't pull off the dark and demanding thing, I don't know. I'll be curious to hear how the makeover goes over for you. :)

I usually wear bright colored bikinis and am the bouncy punky schoolgirl type, but lately it just hasnt worked.
Last night I teased my hair into a faux-hawk on top, put on darker makeup, a black gown. I talked quieter and tried to seem more aloof, asked for dances up front, walked off when they said no, and priced my dances for $25 instead of $20.
I didn't bank but I definitely did better than I have been! Two different guys said no to dances, and I walked off saying "my time is money!" and when I came back by waving hi got grabbed by the arm and practically dragged to the lapdance booth, they both bought multiple dances at the $25 price. I am going to give the dark and mysterious thing a go. It seems to be working and it takes a lot less energy.
I also had a group of guys calling me Kim Kardashian last night, a new one on me, but I've been tanning and the heavy makeup/snobby attitude did it I guess LOL. They were super into it.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
shit in syd as well.
when i was blonde i had a hard time getting dances coz it made me look really innocent n cute.
depends who the target customers are. if theyre young guys it doesnt hurt to be a flat out bitch sometimes and with older guys who have all the time in the word its better to be subtle, pushy and repeat the same thing in different ways to get em thinkin about going for a dance.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Portland this past few weeks has been ridiculous. Rude people, if there are any at all. Rose festival, Memorial day, first and last day of sunshine...gah. In a way i am glad it's not just me, I was starting to think somethings wrong with me.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Bentlee - I like your hustle, especially the way you keep your mind on the dance. I'm going to try that.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
I'm not holding my breath for tonight. Whenever we get the ahem extras girls working on night shift I don't make shit. I noticed that. The weekend was awesome, then they pop in like a plague of locusts and I don't make shit. >:(
I'm off wed and thurs going to check out some other clubs....

Re: bad night, bad week!!
I'm straight up taking a week or two off and doing webcam stuff. Tonite I already made 3 times what I made on sat night dancing, and Ive only been online 3 hours, sheeet. If only I didn't get insanely bored and restless doing cam I might consider switching altogether. Stripping is just so damn fun. I am social and love to be in the bar enviornment, wear cute outfits, do pole tricks, and hang out with other girls....AND you have more likelihood of having that one big easy $$ customer instead of grinding away at a per minute rate. Sitting in my room alone is sooooo boring. Just need to wait for things to get better and I'll go back to the club.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
Keep your head up! Being in this industry you get yourself in a rut and everyday seems to be the same sh*t but different day. Maybe take a break and go find a new club to work at for awhile. Then it will be something new and maybe create better energy.
Have you ever thought about getting into private party dancing? You usually work more on the weekends and you are not having to see the same clients day after day. Every day is a new day or new show. You can do privates during the week which is like going to a club but you don't have to work nearly as long. Girls usually rage $300+ per hour and the only person you have to tip out is a driver if you use one.
I found after dancing many long months in the club that this is a better and fun way to make money. I work for a couple of Agencies and I average about 2-6 shows a week. I make on average $1000+ a week. You are able to set your own schedule and call off if you need to, it's great.
Hope this helps you :)

I actually have my eye on a pole for my bedroom right now, I am trying to save or get a customer to buy me one. I normally wear more short skirt/tanktop slutty clubwear, not stripper outfits, for cam, since I do domination and teasing and the customers (submissives) want you to be more clothed. sometimes I do fashion shows w my stripper stuff though LOL
Its just not the same bc like I said, I'm all alone in my room. I do have a regular right now who makes me laugh my ass off but he loves to do reallllyyyyyy long calls which about 3 or 4 hours in I want to kill myself. Just focus on that $$$$$$$$$$$$
I havnt tried private parties before exotic4, does anyone know if there an agency in oregon for them that is trusted?

Re: bad night, bad week!!
In a new club and I hate it cheap custies and dirty girls, so bad because of the weather, but im here for this month, will try hard this weekend.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
I feel ya girl, this last Friday I went home with less than $100, and I always make at least 3, usually 4 or 5. There were guys there but none were spending $ with anyone. So now it's Tuesday and I'm still bogged down by my bad night, I've been having the worse luck!
What do you guys think is the best way to make money on nights like that, or least what can I do to stay positive, I get so discouraged and depressed! I think I could have made more waiting tables and not taking my clothes off! Not cool :(

Try shorter lines & answers with less "meat"/detail... many men love women who are mysterious but "seem" smart.

Re: bad night, bad week!!
This time of year always sucks in the PacNW. Graduations, fathers day and nice weather makes the clubs slow.
Rose Festival is never good for the clubs. It'll pick up when the weather turns hot, when the tourists hit Portland. Hang in there, July will be better, I promise!

Re: bad night, bad week!!
OMG so my "bad night bad week" was at one of the "bigger" clubs in PDX, I just went back to this tiny club that was my first club as a baby stripper, total dive, and with my super stripper Las Vegas hustler skills pulled several hundred $$$ out of what used to be a $70 night.
I ROCK!!! fuck my bad week. I feel like a superstar. :) I will be going back...just goes to show, one girl's trash is another girls hustling treasure. being the hottest chick/only hustler in a 3 girl per shift dive bar seems to be my best arena in portland, or these days.
