    Default No Money Anywhere!!!

    hey girls...just a quick question. Besides the fact that i live in Buffalo, NY and well..theres no money in this city...is there something going on every where?! Esp right now during the time of giving (well at least to the naked girls). My point is- is it shitty every where or just ny state?

    Well I havent dance in a while but the economy is in really bad shape , people are losing their houses left and right due to foreclosures . Not to mention the major corporations that are laying off workers like home depot . Then I think if you put all that together with the general decline of talent in our industry it just makes sense that we are not making what we use too .

    Personally I dont think the money has been very good since 9/11 or you could also say since Bush has been president , typical republican run economy .

    Uhm... don't the republicans lower taxes and provide help to businesses? I always thought that was their schtick. I assumed that during a Democrats reign that taxes would be way high, thus making oodles of people poorer.

    During Reagan's terms weren't the yuppies insanely wealthy, doing blow, buying random cars and giving $1,000's to strippers?

    Perhaps I watch too much American Psycho.

    Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but here's what I've been hearing on SW. The money in Louisiana was GREAT right after Hurricane Katrina (people LOVED their FEMA checks, and we loved their FEMA checks too!) but it definitely hit a new slump since September. That's my story, but the girls have complained about L.A., Vegas, N.Y. state, and TX in Houston, Dallas, and I've read a couple of posts about Austin, but not enough to determine if that was due to individual circumstances or regional market decline. I HAVE read posts about Florida girls doing well, though. The only two cities worth dancing in in Louisiana are Baton Rouge & New Orleans. New Orleans can be very dangerous (I can't see myself dancing there again) and Baton Rouge is slumping. I'm saving everything I can in anticipation of the post-Christmas dry spell.

    Everywhere I danced this year, I've heard the vast majority of the girls complaining that it was way better even just in 2006. I know it was for me, too.

    That said, while I didn't bank, I still made enough to make it worth it in Phoenix and Denver.

    Dallas was a total bust, Austin only slightly less so. NY/NJ (home!) was depressing, given what I had expected to come home to (I was making 4 times my 2007 average in fall 2006), but at least I profited. North Carolina was frustrating, and the two days I ended up working in New Orleans... well, I broke even for the money it took to get there, but it wasn't worth it for time spent getting there and dance mileage.

    I'm sincerely hoping that my miserable profit margin in NOLA was simply due to bad timing and burnout, and that having the 5 weeks off since then will have me ready to jump into what's left of the pre-holidaymas rush when I get home to Jersey in a week. I want us all to be wrong about nearly everywhere sucking so much. *crosses fingers*

    I'm doing so so....but its like pulling teeth. It's been soooo slow. Last Sat. night was sad...if you didn't know what day it was you would have thought it was monday....during a blizzard. Fortunatly this club is over run with girls.
    It was getting really bad in Maine because its really the only club in the area and has an open schedual. The shittier it got the more girls there were because everyone was hurting. From what I hear it hasn't been better since I left.
    I've also heard most of Mass is pretty suck right now. But I agree the economys kinda shit the bed for the time being...and its Christmas time. Though it may be the time of giving its also tghe time where you're gonna have alot of explaining to do when you can't afford to buy for the wife and kids because you got tanked with a bunch of strippers in the VIP.

    I'm doing ok right now. I was in NY state over the weekend and made BANK in Syracuse. Like, seriously. If one region of the country is doing better than others, I would say the midwest. I've done great in South Dakota and Nebraska, but I don't do that great in the southern states. FL, NC, SC, AL, KY, TN, they all have pretty much sucked ass lately.

    I'm going to CT this week, so I'll report back after the weekend.

    I dont know where you read that...must not have been South Fl to be sure. We've been hurting here for years.

    I love it...you cant win here right now. I worked last night...seemed like every guy asked if I had kids. If I said no..they wanted to save their money for the girls with kids because..you know..Christmas and all..if I said yes, then I got "well...you shoudl be willingto do anything to make money so your kids can have a good Christmas if your a good mom".

    Cant win for trying. Assholes have a line for everything.

    Funny. This has been going on at my club too. I am thinking about just lying, saying I have kids. I get asked alot and am always truthful but am wondering if I said "yes" what would happen....I mean I lie to customers about everything else.....

    ^^ Well...you see where it got me. Apparently being a good mom = being a whore.

    I got pissed at one guy and said "yeah...because I'm sure you would have had a MUCH merrier Christmas as a kid if your mom came home reeking of STD's from whoring herself out inthe back room of a strip club for your Lite Brite"

    He was not amused. Oh well..fuck him.

    I'm glad you love it. I don't give a rats ass about Bush. I just theorize that a Democratic President would make things worse for dancers. That doesn't mean I don't vote my my heart and my head. It is just one aspect of things.

    It's been a little slower here than last December, though certainly nowhere near a point where I've been worried about getting by.

    Y'all, I was listening to NPR yesterday about the Iowa caucus and they did say the economy there is great and they've got a low unemployment rate, so perhaps that's somewhere to check out.

    It's sort of slow here...Slow in the way that there are more bad days than usual, but the good days are still here and there.

    you know i am brand new to dancing and i am doing ok. i like the $ i make, but i do notice alot... and i mean alot of girls complaining that times are hard. However, most of them sit around in the vip or in the washroom, changerooms, whatever and complain. I am out on the floor working. the girls say I am just naive and that there is no money out there.... but, my reasoning is - there is far more $ out there than there is back here! ie, in the changeroom. I probably hear NO more often than any other girl at the club. and it doesn't bug me. in fact, it's a goal that i have. not to get to NO, but to ask as many as possible, as many times as possible. and you know what? it's working.

    a story comes to mind when i read this thread... my dad used to say it when i was much younger we went through tough times... (my father used to be a factory worker and had to retire at a young age because of an accident) anyways he went through college during his recoup, became a CFP and just now became an accredited Chartered Accountant...

    the story goes something like this:

    THE MAN WHO SOLD HOT DOGS
    THERE WAS A MAN WHO LIVED BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SOLD HOT DOGS.
    HE WAS HARD OF HEARING SO HE HAD NO RADIO.
    HE HAD TROUBLE WITH HIS EYES SO HE READ NO NEWSPAPERS.
    BUT HE SOLD GOOD HOT DOGS.
    HE PUT UP SIGNS ON THE HIGHWAY TELLING HOW GOOD THEY WERE.
    HE STOOD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRIED; "BUY A HOT DOG, MISTER?
    AND PEOPLE BOUGHT.
    HE INCREASED HIS MEAT AND BUN ORDERS.
    HE BOUGHT A BIGGER STOVE TO TAKE CARE OF HIS TRADE.
    HE FINALLY GOT HIS SON HOME FROM COLLEGE TO HELP HIM OUT.
    BUT THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED.
    HIS SON SAID, "FATHER, HAVEN'T YOU BEEN LISTENING TO THE RADIO?
    HAVEN'T YOU BEEN READING THE NEWSPAPERS?
    THERE'S A BIG DEPRESSION.
    THE EUROPEAN SITUATION IS TERRIBLE.
    THE DOMESTIC SITUATION IS WORSE."
    WHERE UPON THE FATHER THOUGHT, "WELL, MY SON'S BEEN TO COLLEGE, HE READS THE PAPERS AND HE LISTENS TO THE RADIO, AND HE OUGHT TO KNOW."
    SO THE FATHER CUT DOWN ON HIS MEAT AND BUN ORDERS, TOOK DOWN HIS ADVERTISING SIGNS, AND NO LONGER BOTHERED TO STAND OUT ON THE HIGHWAY TO SELL HIS HOT DOGS.
    AND HIS HOT DOG SALES FELL ALMOST OVERNIGHT.
    "YOU'RE RIGHT, SON" THE FATHER SAID TO THE BOY.
    "WE CERTINAILY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GREAT DEPRESSION."
    don't give up!
    Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...

    My average has been cut almost in half since December started.

    The club has been super super slow and even our top hustlers are complaining a bit about the money. Money is spread THIN.

    not to be rude, but you ARE new. the money youre happy with might be not so good money to them. i mean, what a lot of girls make at my club would be a bad night for me.
