There have been some past threads about the secret of 'new girl' money. Well, I've been traveling a bit and eventually fell in love with a certain club. I'm fairly certain a lot of what we make when we're new comes from absolute terror. I'm trying to document and share some of my insights for whatever they happen to be worth. Contributions/critizism are more than welcome.
*We know 1 or none of the other girls there. We don't have any friends to speak to in the locker room, are not familiar with the DJs, or managers and tend to spend more time with the customers as a result. If at all possible or feasable, sit with the customer for 3-5 songs before popping the question - and even then, he ought to do it first.
*"It's my first day" is as much of an aphrodisiac as "It's my first time" to a guy. It can be your "first day" every freaking shift for all he probably knows![]()
*Extending on that, anything along the lines of, "Can I try this out on you?" or "Will you watch me on stage?" is hot - even if you're a pro and it's a standard move for stage and LP. Again, unless he's a club regular - how in the blazes will he know?
*Don't hide it if you're nervouse! And even fake it if you can. Somehow, a lot of custys seem to pick up on that and love it. Whether they think they can get extras or 'teach you' or be your first dance, or even the cool ones that want you to have a great first day, or are looking to help out a scared newb, it works for everyone.
*Humility is your best friend. "Cinnamon is so pretty on stage!' Who cares if she's standing there looking vacant and you're doing pole tricks - stay humble. It reinforces that you're nice, naive and a very sweet girl.
*I'd like to add that I'm in NO WAY advocating extras. When you've got a dude in the LP area, you know how to handle his ass. It's just more moolah if he doesn't know that you know that.![]()
Classic quotes I've seen here include, "It's my first day! I can't get in trouble just yet" "The managers don't let us have that much fun...(with a pouty face)" "I can't do blankity blank because dancer/manager/club/someone will freak out on me!" And so on and so forth.
I know a lot of us are jumping ship, and leaving the industry. I would never tell anyone they're making the wrong call. But at the same time, we've forgotten what this job was like when it was new and fun. We've turned it into a science. Ignoring the time wasters, deveoping almost a 6th sense to see guys looking for extras a mile away, calculating how much we make every 3 mintes.
There's no more thrill in a new pole trick. No more anxiety in taking a guy for a lap dance - we'll break his face if he grabs/doesn't pay/smells bad or whatever. Just as our confidence is completely fucking fabulous, it may be hurting our money. Not that we should loose it, just that keeping it a secret can mean a few hundred extra.
