    Default Never forcing myself to work on first day of period again!!!!

    Not even if it's the 25th and I don't have my rent yet for the month, or I owe thousands, or I'm planning a move to a foreign country next month.

    In the past when I've forced myself, I've had so many close calls on losing my $$.


    This time I fucking lost the $50 it took me 5 hours to accrue, and it was only 10:30. This is mortifying to admit on this board. I have NEVER had this problem of no money in my entire stripping history, even when it was dead and no one was making any....NEVER THIS BAD. It is like this all over Albuquerque, I know from speaking with top girls that work the circuit here.

    I just cannot get it together mentally and become so clumsy and forgetful on the first day. I would have lost it if it were $600. I went home and cried for the first time in months. Everything has been wrong wrong WRONG lately, every single thing, but this pushed me over the edge considering how hard I had to work for this measly 50 bucks.




    I feel brave telling this story, but wanted to share to lend support to others who might beat themselves up over not wanting to work the first day, yet feel lazy and like a bad person if they don't. I won't anymore!!!! It is dangerous!!!!

    Awww don't feel embarassed! Sometimes I have really awful shifts. Like, nightmare bad. It can be attributed to periods once in a while but also because a LOT of clubs are suffering financially - everywhere.
    I don't work on the first day of my period either but that's usually because I'm afraid of bleeding everywhere.

    No reason to feel embarrased! I won't work day 1 or 2 of my period. I'm just too bloated and bleh and I don't feel sexy at all! It's only one day a month you will miss

    Yeah totally, don't be embarassed. If anything you might make others on here afraid to vent about the same thing feel comfortable to come out and do it. And venting is good. It's also good to know there is someone else in the same boat sometimes too. Not that I would ever wish making no $$ on soneone else, but in the sense that it's good to know you aren't alone in some situations.
    I had a shift like this just last Friday (of course). After tipout and housefee I walked with $50, which sucks for me. I have sworn off Fridays so many times, but being the nerd that I am, have still have forced myself to go in. ALso for the same reasons, not wanting to feel lazy, like a bad person, etc. After this one though, like you said, "Not even if it's the 25th and I don't have my rent yet for the month, or I owe thousands, or I'm planning a move to a foreign country next month"
    No. More. Fridays.
    And for you it should be No. More. 1stday period. Working.

    I've learned the hard way never to work the first day of my period, I'm just too tired, bloated and yucky. There's no need to be embarrassed, we've all been there. Hope you feel better hon, x

    On the topics of periods, I don't really get an actual period anymore. I will get out of the blue spotting now and then, usually dead blood, a spot about the size of a dime. I was up on stage and took off my thong, and as I was wrapping it around my wrist (so it never touches the floor) I noticed I had spotted! I was terrified to show my vag in case I was bleeding more than that!

    I hate the first day of my period. I actually bled through my tampon onstage last week (the first time in almost 7 years of dancing) in front of the lead singer of Linkin Park - no joke! The older I get, the heavier my flow gets and the worse my period is.

    Thank you guys for being so sweet. It's so nice to hear support about how awful the $$ has been lately. I just wish there were some nearby town so I could do the whole "try a different club" thing....but that's what I got myself into when I decided to move out here I guess!

    Ooh, Alaska, you're so right, ABQ has been SO slow lately. In the entire almost 14 year span that I've danced here I've never ever seen it like this. Just wanted to offer you some validation.

    As for my period, I don't dance the the first three days. I feel so gross and just take advantage of the time to do other things I need to do.

    There's a small club in Farmington, I think it's called Tomcats, that dancers sometimes go to because they don't have many girls. I don't know much else about it but it might be one way to get out of town without going too far. Also, you could try Santa Fe. I have a friend that dances there, she only makes $2-300 because it's $5 no contact dances, but it sure beats $50! Other than that, maybe Denver? It sounds like clubs are slow most places these days though. I'm sorry you started dancing in ABQ now, it used to be really great. I still do really well but a big part of it is that I only dance 1-2 times a week and can remain positive, otherwise I'd go crazy.

    Duuude. I read this thread earlier and should have heeded the warning. I just bled through my (white) panties on stage. Under blacklights. Yeah.

    Aww thank you so much Shakti. Glad to hear you're staying positive thruout these trying times... Yikes, that's so scary to hear, an all time low in 14 years. I believes it! Well hopefully ppl get those tax refunds VERY early. You're right--I def need to check out Farmington. Actually one of the other girls lately said "that's where the money's at." Also there's 203 in Moriarity.

    This was a club I could make $300 in 5 hours, even when it was so dead. That's pretty good considering there's no/low contact, dances are $10, and no CR's. And custys and dancers tend to be pretty nice and laid back.

    I need to move out of this apt. regardless, and I'm giving my 30-day notice this month. I'm most likely gonna do Guam---use that time to save save save and figure out where I'm going next. I really want to try being a FT dancer for a long time to come. I love ABQ and my relationship of 3 years is here, even though it turns out we're prob not gonna wind up together---so it's tough. Le sigh.

    I always work the first day of my period and right on through. I just have to deal with tampon-related paranoia all f***ing night. I always keep thinking it's peeking out of the vag or something.... and whaddayaknow... the other night it was. Motherfucker. The guys I was dancing for must have had their dicks shrivel up into little vaginas or something. They had to have noticed because of the black lights.

    I've also totally overflowed the tampon on stage before and had blood smeared and dripping into and onto my boots. Sucked to be me!!

    Sometimes I can't believe how brave we girls are to just plug it up and go on with business, especially when our business is carried on nude or semi-nude.

    To the OP, one guaranteed night off for yourself is nothing to feel guilty about. I think one of the signs of an experienced dancer is knowing when to take off and just give yourself a day for the sake of sanity or even for the sake of your overburdened immune system.

    If I ever start a period I use my Divacup and things are fine through the night. Holds more than a tampon. It's a lifesaver.

    I can't work the first two nights of my period...I have really bad, heavy ones...and feel like I'm bleeding to death. So if I worked, my night would just be spent running back and forth to the restroom because I'd be sooo paranoid.

    Yea, the pain and the amount of blood can be terrible. But what really makes it bad is the fact that I'm so clumsy and forgetful!! Going to the bathroom 8x per hour of course ups the likelihood that I'm gonna lose something, which is already one million times more likely than any other day of the month.

    I just started bleeding and I have to go in today for a customer. I'm bummed. I guess it's good that I have an appointment like that scheduled to get me in. Otherwise I'd bum around all day. I just hate the tampon paranoia when I'm bleeding so heavy. I really need to try out the diva cup.

    Please refer to the continuing thread in customer conversation with regards to lap dancing do's and don'ts. Is called 'men, read me' I think'.

    Made me laugh, then I found this thread with you girls all worrying so much about accidental bleeding. Poor Snappa I guess his worst fears could come true again!!

    I officially joined the 'bled all over' club last night. Day 2 is my bad day. I worked the Wing Bowl, got my period but it was mostly just pain. Oh but last night-we're going down the stairs for the Showcase/free dance thing and whooosh! Overflowed. And I had to dance for some guy keeping my skirt on. For free. And he had the audacity to be a jerk about it. I should've bled on him. No more day 2!
