Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
Once I get a car, once I get a car. Then I can drive down no problem. As it is, train takes two to three hours...express. Ugh. Fingers crossed you find someone! Speaking of car, WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP GETTING LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS TO A PLACE AN HOUR AWAY THAT I NEED TO BE AT WITHIN THIRTY MINUTES AT TWO AM? Because my driver isn't THAT flexible. And even if she was, that's impossible travel!

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
last night i got booked at 10.15pm for a 20 min show at forestville, a suburb that is about 10 mins south of the CBD. after that i was booked for an 11pm show at lyndoch, a small country town that's about an hours drive north-east of the city. needless to say, i ran very late.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
I am hoping and praying that I will get two shows tonight or at least a waitress plus show gig tonight. As it is I have absolutely nothing for today/tonight and all I require to make my minimum goal for earnings this week is $250 ..... or if I wanted to have a really good week another $500 (all approx. earnings). I'm thankful for the work I have tomorrow (Saturday) however am a little bummed that I am only really working one day/night this week.
Let's hope I get something after I am done with my last show in Surfers Paradise on Saturday at the very least.... just two to three more shows (approx) and I am good ! ;D
This isn't so much a rant as a request to the Universe to bless me today and/or tomorrow with more work! I am trying ever so hard to save up a really decent chunck of money so I can move in February (as I need money to cover 4 weeks rent for this unit, six weeks rent of the new place (and I'm aiming for $300 per week max) as some of that will be bond money, money to pay removalists, money for fuel when I use my car to move everything, money for new furniture as some of the furniture I have now will be thrown away due to how old/used/torn/crappy it is ... so I need a decent chunk of money so please please universe give me work!!!).
Next week is a different matter. I'm busy enough next week on Friday and Saturday.

I'm going to the Coast early afternoon for a photoshoot and I have like 4 free hours in between that and a duo show in the same place. I got a booking for a 2 hr. wait plus a 30 minute toy show and as I was confirming my PHONE DIED. So I got home, plugged it in.. confirmed and... the job was taken!!!
^^%$%#&^*&^%#$#@^%*^*&
Now I'm gonna be sitting around the coast bored as hell.
Fark.
And I lost out on like, $350.
Yay.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
Hey Jess, yes I do know what you mean. This is the main reason why I try to emphasise to the agents I am with that I am a showgirl as I can perform for any size of audience be it small and intimate (like most private party gigs) or something like a nightclub. I got the biggest rush that one time I did a strip show at The Avenue! ;D I wish I would get more work like it.
I'm both a small and big crowd dancer as I am an entertainer and performer ;D Unfortunately I'm booked out tomorrow night until 10pm. I have a 2 hour waitress gig tonight as I am just plain bored (read: had no work planned) so I took it plus it means I am at least $100 closer to my planned money I want to make this week.
Here's hoping that they go for a show even if it is a tame one. I already texted them to say I will do a quick basic strip show for $150 as I still have to give $20 as commission if I do it. I could easily not give her any money (the agent) however I want to be on the top of her list especially for showgirls so I am willing to do so besides it is only $20 so I keep the most of the money.
Go to bed Darcy! Turn your phone off! ;D REST!

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
That booking I had tonight. Yup. You guessed it. This rant is about it. It also drilled home to me that I am 100% done with TOPLESS and NUDE waitressing !!! The only way I will do it now is if a show is guaranteed with it no matter how bored I am and no matter how much I want the money ..........the psychological fuck (as such) is just not worth it for me.
Here is how it works with me in my mind/head: Because I am not that well endowed in the chest, I do not drink alcohol nor do any drugs I am always pushing even my own boundaries to make up for these short comings. I let them fondle my breasts even tho' I really REALLY prefer them to not touch me. Yes that doesn't seem like that much however I go into the private party business because I didn't want a million and one hands groping me anymore. I seriously cannot take it. I switch off and go on "auto pilot" then afterwards I just want to cry as I am so ashamed and disappointed in myself for allowing that to happen.
So that is fucking it. I'm sick of it and it isn't just this party - it has been most of the parties.
Oh yeh the other exception is if the booking or client is reknown for making good tips. Then I won't feel so pressured to even push my own limits just so the fuckers will tip me something!!!!
So yes I will still do waitressing however I want to make it few and far between the bookings. It just is NOT me unless a show is attached to it and/or it's reknown for good tips (especially if I have done the booking before).

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
GCG.. you cannot beat me in not well endowed. Nobody can.
I was a mess at my first booking cos of that. But then i just turn around and distract them with my legs and butt.
But I understand why you let them fondle you. Hugs. I hope you feel better and stop blaming yourself for what happened.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
Darcy: Bepanthan ! Buy it now and use it religiously. It will heal it faster. It's found in the baby care section of the supermarket as it is nipple cream for nursing mothers yet I found it works wonders for alot of things. The two being: helps heals cuts, scratches faster and helps also with the healing of bruises (faster).
Anyway, Saturday was better than Friday night in that all the bookings I had were shows however don' t you just LOVE it when you arrive on time for your booking(s) and then it only takes ONE booking to make you late for every booking you have there-after???
Damn! I did my first two bookings (okay my first booking was cocktail waitressing ... so much more pleasant and easier than what I did Friday!! More please!!) on time... the first show booking (and second booking overall for the night) was in Byron. I arrived on time however due to mucking/fiddling around with the stereo I started later than planned (15 minutes later) .... packed up and tried to leave as quickly as possible (they wanted a photo with me so I allowed that unfortunately it made me even later)....... on top of that... I had to deal with traffic!
It was mostly clear on the way back from Byron to Coolangatta however I got stuck for awhile behind a slow moving driver. With it being dark, wet and double lines I was not prepared to take the risk in over-taking the slow mover. Then the closer I got to Surfers Paradise the worse (naturally for a Saturday) the traffic became .... so I arrived up to 20 minutes late for my next show. A duo so that was half an hour .... and by the time I was finished with that show.... I had lost my final booking. :(
I was going to be half an hour late in the end for the final booking and the agent that gave it to me (my first show from that agent in MONTHS by the way so it isn't like I work for this one regularly) rang up my security whilst I was at the end of the duo show I was doing and blasted him.
Yes we were going to be half an hour late HOWEVER I do distinctly remember a booking I received from this particular agency back in September which was perfectly horrid. The duo that was meant to show up was over an hour late plus the second waitresses never showed up !!! The guys at the party were bitching and complaining and putting me in a very stressful position.... basically... not a fond memory... and she left me high and dry this particular agent. She wouldn't answer her phone and help me out. I had to ring around other agents to try and get the phone number of one of the strippers who was part of the duo so I could find out where they were and what they were doing etc etc.
So me being half an hour late is NOTHING especially when I did that agent a HUGE fucking favour back then.... short memory it looks like it. I try to do the right thing by some agents and do you think they will cut me some slack when circumstances out of my control will prevent me from being on time ?? Fucking hell.
Oh btw, being half an hour late is also pretty standard as I have lost count how many times the planned show (be it solo or duo) has been late (when I did waitressing more often/regular). It is just part and parcel of the whole business.... it is when the person is more than half an hour late that it should be of concern.
ESPECIALLY on Saturday as it is a busy night for most showgirls (right?)
I wanted that last booking as I would've then made my planned income. *sigh*

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYY do the best offers ALWAYS come when you've got something planned!?
No work. No Work. NO WORK.
OMG WORK... can you work Fri? Sat? Sun? Mon?!
NO OTHER DAY!
-JUST- the goddamn days I'm in Sydney.
STAB STAB STAB STAB!!!

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
I told you they don't pay attention to your schedule and just offer work to everyone ("first in") or else a select few girls before passing it onto anyone else. Just the way most agencies are.... I can definately empathise.
I received a gutload of work which would've made my trip to Darwin last month a little redunant in the first week I was there... lol... I went to Darwin in the first place because (at the time) not only was I receiving mainly waitress work (argh!) .... I just felt that I was not satisfied back home with the money I was making so went with a contract that guaranteed a certain amount of money each week.
It's frustrating however just part and parcel of being a private party dancer. This is where it is good to know other dancers who you are on good terms with business-wise (as in you know if you give that dancer a show she will return the favour eventually).

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
Cross posted:
I did a booking last night... so I technically 'went in'... and cried hysterically as I went around for tips for my show... and was told I was too ugly and maybe if I was as curvaceous as 'the other girl' (waitress, who was fatter than me...okay) then maybe they'd give me money... but since I was so ugly I didn't deserve a dime. One guy thought I didn't notice he gave me a five-cent coin (our smallest currency) as he sighed and said, "There, you deserve this."
I shoved the jug down with my WHOPPING $25 (60+ guys!) in it for a show and said, "I am NOT giving a show to those assholes. NO WAY!"
Anyone who knows me knows I have NEVER turned down work.
After much crying and consoling, the company paid me an extra $40 to do a two-song show for the guys.
Base pay was $80. I was late for the train (fuck transinfo, fuck you!) and had to spend $70 to get there. Tips for tits got me $50. Plus show?
Yeah, I was humiliated and hurt and abused for less than $100.
DO NOT DO MURPHY'S IN IPSWICH.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
ffs. why are there so many damn politics with companys on the golc coast? its like you have to start with the shittiest jobs in order to be taken seriously. why the fuck do they insist on booking girls in stupid random places?
lillith, thats the shittiest booking i think i have heard in this rants thread.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
Oh yeah... during the whole thing they were all, "Why should I tip you? I'll see it anyway!".... I was a showgirl and the other girl was a waitress and we split our money because we knew it was so bad. The other girl had started sobbing already and when she left I was completely on my own to fend in front of the wolves.
When I complained to management (of the pub), refusing to do a show, he talked to the guys and then came to me and said, "You know, those guys are entitled to their opinion on who's prettier!"
WTF?!
And during this whole time, the same guys that insulted me (refused to tip the entire time I was there as well), threw 5 cent coins at me and called me names?... they were in the front row.
I did the shittiest show ever... and they all fucking cheered.
Whatever. Shit, I make more money renting a car and going to Beaudesert. At least I get a few twenties thrown in.
---
There were worse things that happened there too, but I don't want to talk about it.
The other waitress got manhandled and almost slammed a jug in a guy's face.

OH BUT GET THIS!!!
Suddenly the company is advertising me for shows this week!! Like, omg I worked here, I'm suddenly worth something!
Christ.

Re: Rants! Put all your rants here!
I -really- want to complain to the company about this booking. The owner HIMSELF told me that every single girl who's come there has cried or complained....
... but I've FINALLY gotten on the company's good side and I don't want to seem a bitch.
What to do... anyone know?
