Taking the plunge at VIP chicago--any hints?
Well, I finally quit my gig at the Playpen, and need to get in a new place--fast! So I am going to work up my courage and audition at VIP's in Chicago this sunday. Has anybody auditioned there recently? What is the Amatur night like? (I was going to go this sunday to WATCH, but now I can't wait another week to get back to work!) I tried calling them, but I could not get much info over the phone. HELP!

Show up when Mike, the entertainment manager, is working looking as classy as ever. They'll turn you away if Mike's not there and suggest that you do the contest because apparently, they have a high volume of applicants. I'm not a "10" but was hired anyway.
If you want to strut your stuff, do the contest! I would've but I totally despise contests.

The contest is bikini now. You will need our booty shorts which are provided at the contest or your own version. Good luck Colleen! Wish I was there to watch but I'm working Saturday instead!

So how did it go Colleen?
Re: Taking the plunge at VIP chicago--any hints?
Yes, Colleen. How'd it go? I'd also suggest Scores, where I may take a field trip this Friday.

VIPs and Scores are quite different. VIPs is more Chicago where as Scores is more Vegas. About 1/2 the dancers at Scores give grindage, and yes, many customers will expect that. I didn't do that but still got about $40/dance. I'm serious! The customers are very generous, especially if you are a great conversationalist and take a genuine interest in them.

Mike was not there today, will not be there tomorrow, who knows when he will be there! Just to have something to do, I went to some other clubs who were apparently all about wasting dancers' time.
- Club O (15 minutes form my house, so worth a try) said, oh come on in and bring audition stuff, I'll make sure you get a shot turned into "Don't call us, we'll call you."
- Allstars, where I was ASSURED by TREE that they are hiring BOTH SHIFTS, was on a hiring freeze due to new construction
- Uncle Paulies was on the way to Diamonds, so I stuck my head in. AN even worse dive thn the one I jsut quit.
- Diamonds said on thier web site, drop by on Tuesday or Thursday, but after I trucked all the way out there, they guy at the door told me to come back for the Wednesday bikini contest.
I think I will check out the bikini contest at VIP this sunday as planned, then go track down Mike next week.
Ohterwise, I think the 7-11 is hiring:(

What about the Admiral? I'd love to know about the clubs within the Chicago city limits. The laws are much more strict, it seems, which suits me just fine. Try Scores too. I yay the friendly staff and low fees and tip-outs.

Diamonds is NOTORIOUS for doing that. A friend of mine won a contest there and the told her to come back the next day to fill out paperwork, etc...and she did and they told her to come back another day...
They are so unorganized there...the managers don't know what each other is doing.
It's sad cuz once you get in the money is good. It can just be a total headache getting in.
Re: Taking the plunge at VIP chicago--any hints?
Diamonds is SOOOOO far out there, I don't know if I will be going back to deal with thier shit. I may wander over the border into Indiana next week, depending on what I find out.
I did drop into Polekatz and they had a humongous stack of applications they had to go through, so I don't think my chaces there are too great.
Any more suggestions?
