    Default Auditioned and got the job...now what??! Conflict...

    So last week I dragged myself into a club and auditioned. I was scared shitless, but it was kinda fun at the same time. I got the job, and am scheduled for 5 shifts in 8 days, which Im thrilled about because I need the money. I live in Sacramento, and was hired at Embers..for those of you who have had the priviledge of setting foot in this establishment, you know very well that it is not the most sophisticated place to work...but hey, it took me over a year to work up the nerve to audition ANYWHERE, so Im just happy to get started.

    I know that I have the looks and personality to work at other places...nice places. And since there is probably no money here, I fully intend to audition elsewhere once I get a few shifts in for experience. I dont want anyone to know that Im stripping, but I figured that a few weeks in this place wouldnt expose me. The problem is, when I told my boyfriend, he told me that many of his male colleagues that belong to a local charity org go in there alot. This scares me...I would die if any of them saw me. Since I need the money and already have the shifts, I decided that I would work for one week here and audition somewhere out of town on Monday or Tuesday (today is Saturday). Im going in for my first shift in a few hours, but rather than being excited Im nervous of being exposed..I think I should just go in, and if i see anyone i know i can hide in the back, but i dont want to have anxiety about this all day. Has anyone dealt with this?? I know that all it takes is one person to see me, or my car in the parking lot, to potentially carry the "stigma" that is associated with this business (which personally I have no problem with, I find it liberating)...but since my "real job" as a personal trainer involves self marketing and word of mouth, Im afraid this could come back and bite me in the ass...

    I'm in the same boat. I live in a small town where everybody seems to know each other and word travels fast. The club is on the outskirts. Most people I associate with in "real life" wouldn't go to a strip club, but you never know. It's a possibility. The way I see it, though, the stigma works both ways: If they were there to see me, we have dirt on each other.

    Can you not use a touch of make-up to change your appearance? I'm sure that most of the customers won't be looking at your face (which is their loss, let's be honest), so it shouldn't take too long ...

    A wig and different makeup can work wonders in changing your appearance.

    If this is a big club you are talking about, you would probably be able to avoid them for the most part. Factoring that you would probably be dancing incognito.

    I completely agree with pixitkittie. Plenty of girls at my club wear wigs and what not to change what they look like.

    Even if you bump into someone you know (like I have in the past) make sure you make it look like your having a blast so when they do finally approach you they don't really have anything bad to say b/c it looks like your enjoying your job.

    Just my thought-

    Since you were saying you don't want anyone to know you dance, and it does seem like you are very nervous of having someone find out. Possibly try to get another type of job? Office, waitress, or anything...?....Or, make sure you work at a dance club out of the area. The way I figure it though, if you cannot be proud of what your doing and hold your head up high, maybe its just not the right time for you to be dancing...

    again, just my two cents....best of luck to you in whatever you do!

    Sometimes it's not about how you personally feel that makes a person nervous, it's those close to us who decide to judge. I know my family does not approve of dancers, including the person I am closest to (my mom). Sometimes doing what you want and not what other people want for you can make you nervous, even if you think you are doing the right thing. my 2 cents.

    Oh Gawd. Please dont work at that sh*thole.... the owners a dick and treats the girls like garbage and the dj is a creep. Yuck. Go to The Body Shop.

    1) Body shop has a full bar
    2) No schedule
    3) Same tip out but more money
    4) Dances arent in stupid ackward chairs
    5) They have a VIP room

    I see this thread is a bit old... Im sure youve already come to the same conclusions as me.

    Yes....I got the hell outta there and vowed to never return. I would go over to the Body Shop but its a conflict of personal interest....no one knows i dance (yes I realize I seem like an idiot for dancing in Sac and trying to be incognito about it, but so far its worked) but one of the staff members there is a friend of friends and if I walked in the entire city would know Im a stripper. It sucks too, because now Im at City Limits and really want to change clubs, and the Body Shop is where I would go.
