    Default "Hey, I know you!"

    I just got hired tonight at a new club (very excited). My old club was small and obscure-ish. However, this one is large and pretty well known in the city. (But also much cleaner, which is why I made the switch - very important to me).
    Anyway, some of the girls I used to work with put this in my head:
    "Aren't you scared that you're going to run into someone that you know????"

    Now I'm worried... I was raised here, go to school here... all in the same borough.

    I know it's a big city, which is why I originally wasn't worried, but should I be?

    Has anyone had to handle having my feared experience?

    Do you hair different than you usually do, wear a wig, learn some make up techniques that make your face look different, etc. There's definitely tons of ways to lower the chances of people recognizing you!

    I've seen customers out in the real world too many times to count, at the market, at restuarants, on the bus, etc. But, Portland is a pretty small city, and I've stripped since 2003 and worked at a ton of clubs, so the odds of me seeing customers are kinda high. They generally can't place me out-of-context. Sometimes I'll see a flicker of recognition, but it seems like they aren't sure where they know me from. Usually though, they seem guilty and nervous that I'm going to out them in public, so I wouldn't worry. I think many customers care about their anonymity just as much as we do.

    NYC is the smallest city ever. People run into each other here all the time. Peple run into people they met once overseas back here randomly in NYC. I'd wear a wig, beauty mark and a fake tatoo and DENY, DENY, DENY.

    i used to be REALLY scared of someone i knew coming in the club, but after it happened a few times, i learned to not let it bother me....because it WILL fuck up your money. i've seen an old customer from the MBZ car dealership i used to work at (he was a good tipper), i've seen my ex boyfriends, a different ex's friends...and one time...my first day at a new club, i saw a lady i used to work with...she was with a group of people...she bought me a dance for her friend.

    point is, if you let it bother you, the other people is going to notice. if you act like it doesn't bother you, nobody will really care

    The wig thing is a good idea... I just can't imagine being able to have regular makeup make my face look that different. Oh, and tattoos are a good point - I should COVER the ones I have up so no one can recognize them.
    Ahmeerah, do you know where to get wigs in the city that look real and stay on (and aren't a thousand bucks)?
    I do the beauty mark thing, too.
    Professors are my biggest fear! But they aren't usually the strip club types... I hope.

    Julie, Congrats! I think I remember the club you were going to, you may see me there in a few weeks!

    I worry about this all the time too, yet the only people I know here are my boyfriends young friends that I worry about showing up at the SC.

    Ahaha this has happened to me sooooooooooooooooo much!!

    I work all over the freakin place... mind you im a little more 'out there' as im advertised and on tv and in magazines lol.

    Still though i've had guys in the most random places... like towns/cities id never expect to know anyone... come up to me and go 'omg your <insert real name>!! I went to high school with you! We both had Mr Williams for grade 10 Math!'

    Yea... that happened to me about 4 provinces away from where I grew up.

    Anyway don't let it bother you. If people know you they know you. Shit happens.

    Oh my god, i think I would've puked all over him, myself, and the stage... saying, "no,no, I swear, it's really not me, man!"... trying to still dance, slipping on my own vomit.

    Ewwwwwwww, lol!


    Oh, and Aubreyy, why do you wanna switch clubs?
    PM me for more info about the club, if you want.

    I've had a grocery store clerk ask if I had a sister! (I'd gone in alternately in hair and makeup, and not.)

    I've had people from my day job come into the club where i was dancing on two occasions. Two different clubs, two different jobs. The first one led to me resigning because i couldn't get out of it, i was there less than a metre away with these guys from work in my face - and the B******s even had a dance from me and THEN went bak to work and reported me! I talked my way out of it and gave them some story but decided it would be wise to hand my notice in.

    The second one was the deputy boss of the huuuuuge place i worked at and i managed to slip out un-noticed. Unfortunately he decided he liked the place and came back a few times - however he was big lush so i got the bouncers to bar him. Although last time i danced there he came in AGAIN but i wasn't working for him by then so ignored him and he didn't even notice me.

    So, the only thing to fear really is it messing with your career outside of dancing, other than that, if you weren't worried in the first place, then don't, just understand that it could happen.

    Well, you knew it was a possibility when you started, but it seems as though it did not bother you. Don't listen to other girls that are trying to scare you. Worry about working, not what they have to say.

    Well, no I guess the denied envitable finallyhappened to me (but on the smaller end of the spectrum):

    A guy from my old high school was a custy a month or 2 ago. THE SHITTY THING WAS, HE NOTICED ME FIRST! So, I noticed this guy checking me out nex to me at the bar and decided to go approach him, with my confident, "youre- just- some- guy" sort of way.
    He looks straight into my eyes and ask me if my name is _____.
    My fucking jaw is twisted in fear and then finally my mouth drops in total recognition.

    He was so cool about it and even had a dance from ME and tipped me for 2.
    He gave me his card and said he owned a bar in the neighborhood.

    EXHILLIRATINGLY STRANGE.

    i CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT THAT I'M ALL OVER FACEBOOK AS "THE STRIPPER." LOL

    You handled it like a champion. Bravo! (and don't worry about the facebook... if anything pops up, you can post about the PL who begged you for a lap dance. ) I don't think he'd say anything he sounds like a nice guy.
