    Default Timing your dances, help?

    I just came up with the bright idea after reading the "charging $140 for a $100 VIP" thread. I would like to start selling my dances at "$25 a piece, or $100 for 15 min, which would you prefer?" my question is, how do you time the 15 min? would it be ghetto to bring a little timer that I could fit in my clutch bag? how do u girls do it?

    If they're wearing a watch, make a point of going by their watch. If not, yeah, just guestimate.

    The problem is some of the clubs I'm currently dancing at don't cut tracks, some songs are even 5+ min! Which would mean they were getiing closer to 20-25 min for $100 which is why I think going by 15 min will bump my income and custy turnover. By the time we've gotten upstairs, danced, and then the money, its like I've been off the floor for an entire 1/2 hour for only $100 bucks! I can do better than that, right girls

    Only 100 bucks? Where do you work? Here in LA that is what I usually make in 8 hours!

    Dances at my club are $50 for 10 mins. I usually do 2 and a half songs. U just get used to how long it seems like. I do have a watch but I only use that when someone books me for an hour or so.

    The dance is over when I feel like it's over. The guy won't know. If the guy annoys me, funnily enough the dance always ends sooner

    i vote for looking at your watch in sneaky sort of way
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    If you want to go with a small timer, this device has a vibrate mode for discreet use:

    I ALWAYS keep an eye on my watch when Im in the VIP room. Sometimes Chris gets busy and leaves me back there too long - unless its someone cool then I dont mind as much. It looks just like the rhinestone bracelets I wear on my other wrist.

    I gave up on them. I always bang them into the pole and break them or hurt myself.

    Well, that only happened once. But I would get little bruises on my wrist from where the buckle dug into my skin when I did pole stuff. I don't even do that much pole stuff. Also, they just randomly stop all the time. But I hate having stuff on my wrists. I don't even wear bracelets unless they are the thick stretchy rhinestone kind that I can push a little up on my forearms.
