    Default I think I'm done with (club) dancing

    I have been club dancing since 2003 and Im just plain over it. Sick of being judged, rejected, controlled, treated like crap by customers, management etc. I cant tolerate the loud music, the drinking, the coked up coworkers, coming to work in debt, and feeling tired & depressed all the time. Awhile back I was fired from a club for standing up to the manager! It was so hard on me because I was making really good money there and I just didnt make the same at other clubs. My boyfriend had been telling me for a long time that dancing has made me nerotic, lol.

    I never wanted to admit it, but the biz (and other life things) drove me to the shrink! lol

    I realized that working in strip clubs is just not for me.

    Last year, i interviewed some escorting agencies out of curiosity and decided to give it a go. i did it off and on, but I made waaaay more escorting and the customers are (generally) much nicer. I thought I would hate it, but actually like it far more than dancing. I dont do the agency thing now, but take jobs via private bookers; the money is good and clients are very cool. Im thinking about advertising independently once the the Spitzer thing blows over.

    Ive also been hired to dance at private parties, which i liked because i was being paid to be there. Sooo, I recently started a dial a dancer service! Woohoo! Thats been working out pretty well so I really excited about that. Website to come!

    That said, i havnt set foot in a SC in a month...I feel way better and more in control than i have felt in a very long time.

    So, I am still welcome here if I am no longer a house girl?
    I'm getting my Dial-A-Stripper service up and running again. If you are in NYC or NJ and are interested in private party dancing, email [email protected] with your SW handle, contact info, photo (if you have one) & best time to call and I'll get back to you asap.

    If you're having a party and need strippers, email me with the details and any questions you have. Thanks!

    escorting makes you happier? are you full service? i dont see how that could be less stressful if you are...but i suppose everyone is different.

    of course you're welcome here!

    i quit club dancing a few weeks ago in favour of private parties for mostly the same reasons you listed. i got to a point where i hated it there so much that i needed to be completely wasted on either alcohol or drugs to be there without having panic attacks and crying and going home, and that to me was a sign to get the hell out.

    best of luck with everything you're doing now

    I did that too in my last year as a dancer. I did mostly parties and occasionally went to clubs. I quit clubs several months before I quit bachelor parties. I just liked it better to know that I got to control everything about my work, unlike at the clubs I had to do the stupid promotions, 2-4-1's, paid house fees, and had to tolerate groping customers.

    Welcome to private dancing! A lot of girls prefer this over clubs.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I can totally see how escorting is less stressful than stripping. There's something about the whole cat-and-mouse game that stresses me the fuck out. With escorting, everyone knows the score. You're both there for the same reason, under pre-determined terms. No one's drunk and dumb and fucking with you for a lark. No one's waving a 100 dollar bills in your face and telling you it could be yours. You don't have to hustle hoping to find your whale. I could go on and on.

    My pink fridged hooker friend can't do my job because she says it's too stressful. Too many unknowns. With hooking, she knows how much she's getting paid, she doesn't have NEARLY as much strain on her body (shockingly), she knows what she's there to do down to the letter and she can control every single guy that sees her on her terms.

    It is easier for her since, mentally, she has absolutely no problem with it.

    I know plenty of girls who left stripping to become escorts, most were pretty content with it and liked it way more than working in a SC. I've even considered it, before I got the job w/MAC. They do seem lonely at times though, the only people they socialize with while working is of course their customers. My best friend was one who made the switch, and she's doing so much better now. She used to get coked out and drunk every night at the club, because she was so nervous and the club atmosphere really stressed her out. So I do understand where you're comming from. Good luck to you hun!

    Also, what does "pink fridged" mean?

    She has a pink fridge. Baby pink with a Cadillac logo on it. It's what makes her my super cool hooker friend with her four thousand dollar pink fridge. Hahaha.

    totally.

    i know quite a few escorts who often say to me, "i don't know how you do what you do, i could never handle being a stripper"

    That's it dammit! Lysondra, tell your friend that I'm getting a cooler fridge than her! Mine's gonna have leopard print! HA!

    As for the PPs and escorting...oh yeah, waaaaaay less stress. Which were both things I wasnt sure I could do. Guys always asked if I did bachelor parties and I would say no, because i was scared to do them and my boyf would tell me, "Strippers get attacked at PPs!". With the dial-a-dancer service, I run the show and make the bookings. Of course, I'm am solely responsible for its success or failure, but I'd rather put my money into advertising in the right places than fork over house fees and hope the club fills seats with worthy patrons. I can definitley handle running a business--unlike some asshole SC owners, lol

    As for the escorting, after the first date i had, i was like, "this is what people freak out over?" Its simply doing what what people naturally do anyway. I dont know how many times I messed with guys for FREE and felt like a complete ass afterward. Needless to say, upon counting my money on the ride home---no regrets, no doubts, no feeling like a complete ass, lol. I also find that my look is more sought after in the escorting biz---customers generally prefer a more natural looking girl, so its nice that 10 lbs of MAC and DDD implants arent a necessity, lol. The work comes to me, so I KNOW the customer is interested because he called or the booker got the job for me. (This isnt manifesto on the joys of escorting, I'm just sharing my experiences BTW.)
    Granted, not everyone is comfortable with the work, but it doesnt bother me in the least.

    ...Well, except for the fact that I gotta hide that from the boyf. But if he asked me to marry him, i would drop escorting in a new york minute.

    What about STD's and safety...when you're alone in an unfamiliar place with a guy, unless you have a gun or a shank and know how to use it you don't have complete control over the situation. Most guys could kick most girls asses in a second if they wanted too...

    What exactly does a full service escort do ? I've heard it's mostly handjobs or watching a guy jerk off. Strangely, I don't think I know any "escorts." I know some straight up hookers. Same thing, right ?
    Feel the fear and do it anyway.

    I was an escort for a year in Las Vegas. I was never once insulted or threatened by a client. Not once.

    That's much more than I can say about the month I've worked in a strip club. I think I've been insulted more in the past month than I have in my entire adult life.

    It's how much she averages per week!

    She makes less than I do hourly but is in higher demand so works more hours. I think she gets $200 an hour and works something like 20-30 hours a week.

    I'd escort if I could.

    Definitely

    Good on ya Akasha!

    I say you go girl!
    As long as you are being as safe as possible it sounds like you found something that works for you.
    I hope you get tested regularly and use protection with your boyfriend just in case.
    Good luck with your business venture!

    Not surprising, good for her! Though I'd think she could charge more hourly... then again I assume it depends on where in the states she's working I guess. In SF and NYC the average for escorts is $300-400 an hour, from what I've been told. For the kind of work they do, I think they totally deserve it.

    She works in Australia.

    That's the average price. It's also 100% legal here.
