My last shift was a day before my Bday. Management put up balloons, gave me a cake, and my coworkers gave me lapdances onstage, which was embarassing but fun. Made 800 and customers brought me cool gifts. And one of the girls I work with actually gave me a few bucks and a really nice compliment and I barely even know her. It was such a fun day, even more fun than I anticipated!
^ nawww that sounds awesome! Happy birthday!!! :D
When I started dancing I made a lot of friends who were into the vogue scene (if you haven't heard of vogueing or vogue balls check out the incredible documentary of the original 80's Harlem scene Paris is Burning)- people who perform drag in its many incarnations are exactly like strippers- we perform feminine sexuality for entertainment and profit! We have all have opinions on style, dance (splits!) beauty (weaves vs. natural, contouring, nails....) and of course, the other bitches in the life.
When I worked in one club on Sundays a lot of the girls would go to Drag Bingo together! It was the perfect thing for a gaggle of strippers to do... And they totally knew we were strippers, 4platinum blondes with extensions and tits at one table.
In break room after my stage set getting dressed, drunk bitter stripper sat complaining to no one in particular about why the club is so "slow".....the rules are too strict. Umm one of the reasons I drive an hour and a half to work is because it's such a clean club. She starts out by bitching that if a guy kisses your leg in champagne room you get yelled at. And then catches herself and says "not like I'm giving blow jobs but I mean I'm a single girl if a guy wants to go down there ya know I'm single."
Are you kidding me? You just flat out admitted you let guys go down on you in vip!>:(>:(>:(
Also I have never made less than 400 on a Friday or Saturday at this club following all of the "strict" rules. Which I love.
Talked to all the wrong customers at the wrong times this desperate young stripper literally outraced me to a customer who bought a bottle and was staring at me so I made 10$. Worst night in two years. I feel so bitter right now.
Meanwhile, due to family/social obligations I've only been able to work a couple of nights since mid September. Worked last Sunday and it was good. Had a bit much to drink but made around $660. Had to deduct about $120 for last minute transportation expenses to and from the club so that killed me but tbh I was just happy I could finance my trip to New Orleans. Back to working at least 3 shifts a week starting tomorrow night.
Yesterday was better not great or even good, but definitely not a waste of energy. The first customer who asked me for a dance changed his mind b/c his friend got ripped off by a new girl. Rather than telling management and getting involved in drama I let it slide and focused on staying upbeat and finding someone generous. It was the right decision. I danced for three people none were cheap and only one of them pissed me off so I'm slowly recovering my work mojo.
Ohhh boy dayshift is not for me! :O
Tried it for the first time today. Eep. I had no idea how much I prefer uninhibited drunk dudes! Lol
Don't get down about the shitty nights. Yesterday I made $50. Today, however, I've been at work for three hours and cleared 320 already, I still have another reg coming in. Love Fridays. It's a revolving door of regs lol. Which is good, bc all week has been slow.
Eta: now up to 460 and feeling the money buzzzzz woohoo...
I wish every day was like today!
Last night was somewhat slow due to the Broncos game but I made the best of it and hustled my customers a little bit longer than usual. Made $274..$208 after fees and tip out. I made my minimum nightly goal :)
Went back to work around 6 after taking a much needed 2 days off after hitting my head during my stage on Saturday night in front of everyone. I'm usually a tough cookie but I really wanted someone to ask me if I was okay (a lot to ask for at a strip club I know lol.) The next day my pole instructor (who's like a mom figure) hugged me and asked me if I'm okay which is all I really wanted..
Anyway...made 200 off of my first daytime customer (which half went to tip out and transportation). Made another 60 off of a "friend of the manage" lol and about 100 off of a fine hot-ass traveling nurse from Miami. The rest of the night was crap after that so I ended up dabbing with one of the girls. Total after tip out and house was $250.
I started later than usual yesterday night and guess who was there- the new girl who looks exactly like me. I wouldn't feel threatened if we didn't have the same look, same complexion, same body type, same hair and people compare us to one another which is frustrating when I'm just trying to work. Instead of paying attention to my money I was focused on the money she was making and I didn't have ONE dollar for the first two hours. It wasn't until I accepted the fact that she's here now that I started to make bank. Only danced on two customers for two hours each then left happy.
The new girl buzz will eventually ware off- once it does that's when the real work has to be put in.
I made 600 before tipout. I was exhausted by the end of the day. I was going to stay later, but my body wanted to go to sleep. But what a great day.
Got started later than I wanted to(got caught up in the 'which outfit should I wear' game. Ended up going up on stage for the first time at my new club. Only danced for two guys who each gave me about $15 bucks each. I really should've stayed on stage and danced for the rest of the guys that were there but I hate being on stage. Happy that I forced myself to get up there. Did about 12 dances but I asked every custy I approached for a tip. So many freakin' time wasters tonight. No takers for CR although I pushed them several times. Made $406 which is not amazing at my club on a Saturday but I'm happy with my effort. Def need to work on getting on stage thou. Thinking about heading in on Monday for a double.
I had a great shift, made some much-needed money. Think I'm getting back into the groove with stage work, *finally,* after my long break from stripping. :)
Couple of epic fails... I fell onto a customer during a lapdance, lmao (he felt bad and tipped me extra), and then thought I saw my ex-boyfriend at the club/panicked and walked back and forth trying to figure out if it was him. It wasn't, but I ended up leaving early just because of the stress! lol
Overall, a pretty great night. I feel like my hustle has returned.
Our club is decorated for Halloween and there is a giant ghoul with a Jack o lantern head hanging up along the mirrored wall on the stage. This crazy dancer at work got high AF and decided that her costume would be nothing more than a mustache. Well the mustache kept falling halfway off during her set and finally she said fuck it and ripped it off her face. Then she pranced over to the giant ghoul and pretended to give it oral. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I made my customer tip her well. She earned it!
This reminds me of this girl I used to work with who when she danced to Kid Rock's american bad ass type song she'd be o the top of the pole in FLAG and when he'd sing the lyric "you can suck my dick" with her other hand she'd masturbate her invisible dick.
We all loved her.
^^ There's always at least one in the bunch!!
My shift tonight was slow, made 75 dollars. But I did make a new customer who wants to come back and see me. It's all good.
This job is mentally taxing. My last shift I was chatting with the DJ when I noticed he was using my phone charger. I asked where he got it from he said it was his wife's who works in the club. I go to his wife to ask where she got it from and she lied to my face saying she picked it up off her counter uhm no it was in the dressing room next to my bag and she stole it. After all the bullshit I deal with customers, bouncers and managers now someone steals my phone charger? I shouldn't have left it out. Anyway it was the breaking point for me. After working five days straight I decided not to go in today. I need time to get my head right because dealing with liars and customers and hustling can take the life out of you. Usually something like this wouldn't upset me but it's the fact that she lied to my face about something so stupid (my charger is hot pink and I got it in Miami). I hate when people lie and I hate when they try to make it seem like I'm the crazy one. You stole my charger from the dressing room then gave it to your husband to charge his phone just tell the truth.
