    Default I went. I danced. I sucked.

    I went to cheetah tonight. Got there at 8. They didn't have me in the system anymore so I had to get the manager to put my name in. There were a million girls I had hadn't seen before. There were probably 20 girls, on a wednesday night. Lolarose was there, which surprised me because I thought she had retired permanently. I recognized maybe 4-5 girls from when I danced there last, but the rest of them were all new. The club has seriously gone downhill. Girls on nightshift that shouldn't be on nightshift. Contact lap dances..... guys grabbing the girls asses, girls sitting on laps naked.

    I went out on the floor and sat at the bar for awhile to observe. Then I walked around looking for a customer with an empty chair... hardly any. The customers I did approach didn't want dances. I didn't snap into my stripper self, I just stayed myself, mentally. I'm incredibly depressed and emotionally traumatized from everything that has happened, and I'm shy in real life, so I sucked. really bad. Usually when I dance I become an outgoing person automatically, even if I'm going through things in my personal life, I guess I've just never gone through something this traumatic and tried to go to work. I couldn't even approach customers, I didn't know what to say. It disgusted me, the thought of sitting there making small talk with strange men.

    Going on stage was almost worse. I went up twice. I hate that stage. It's high off the ground, narrow, no pole, no floorwork. I couldn't freaking dance. I just walked and swayed. I was really wobbly because I wasn't used to the stage being that high and I was nervous. I sucked. I really sucked. I made 7 dollars total on stage. I sold 2 dances. One for the 2 for one special, and one when another dancer tried to help me hustle a guy because I went into the DR and told the housemom I couldn't do it and was going home, so the housemom got a girl to go out with me and "teach" me how to hustle. The thing is, I KNOW how to hustle, I just can't make my body walk up to them and I can't get any words out of my mouth. I made 47 dollars.

    I got there at 8, left at 11:30. 2 1/2 hours. I wanted to leave at 10, I just can't work at that club. Maybe I just can't work at all right now, I'm too depressed and too shy and too sad.

    Girl, don't be so hard on yourself. You've obviously been thru some things lately and it's not always like hopping on a bicycle again. It sounds like the dynamics of the club changed on you so that could mess with what you had mentally prepared yourself for. Sometimes its not like Cheers....meaning maybe you should go somewhere where everyone DOESNT know your name and start off with how you are now and then even if your personality changed its ok, because people arent expecting that "old self" of you, they can't tell you you're different. Even moreso, you've worked there successfully before so you're probably reminding yourself that you're being different and pressuring yourself to be that girl you were before. I had a similar experience and it was very humbling because I new that I could do it, but for some reason the dynamics of the club, customers, staff just weren't for me..... I say go try a new club and a new name .... how bout "Shy"? it could be a good conversation starter.

    Sorry your night sucked. It happens to the best of us, especially when there are other issues going on. I have felt like this before too, I am REALLY shy in real life and not a talkative outgoing person. If I can't snap into my stripper self, then I usually go home with little. I have felt repulsed at the thought of asking a guy for a dance, but it usually passes and the next time I work I'm back at it again. Sometimes I just have to tell myself "I am here to make money. I know what needs to be done to make money. I am the best, and I'll be regretful if I leave here knowing I didn't try my best." Silly but it works for most of the time. I hope everything gets better, and I made $12 on Monday. Yikes. It was DEAD.

    True that! Personally I've hardly ever been able to go back to a club that I used to work at. It always seems like the dynamics have changed since I was there, and the whole "you can't go home again" adage fits.

    I PM'ed you.

    Wow, I thought Lola left SW because she wasn't dancing anymore??

    I'm sorry your night sucked. Are you sure it's the club that's the problem? Maybe it's just you getting used to it again?

    I think it's mostly the stage. I hate the stage. I got so used to the stage-centric club in portland, being able to pick what songs i danced to, pole dancing and floorwork- and then i came here and i'm stuck just standing up on a runway w/ generic top 40 playing.

    it's also me, being shy and not being able to talk to customers. but that's also b/c in portland i was a minor and couldn't talk to customers on the floor, so i have no idea how to approach them and ask for dances, even though i did it when i first started no problem. I think I would have been more up to talking to customers if there were more customers actually there, there were barely any and the ones that were there had girls sitting on their laps, the few that weren't taken just wanted to sit and drink and watch for free.

    bottom line is... i dont like the club and i'm not going back. i'm working my dayjob tomorrow morning and then leaving and going to tampa to audition at 2001. i don't care if it's a contact club, it has a pole and a low stage, you can do floorwork.... and it's busy and guys want dances because of the reputation that 2001 has with their contact grinding dances. i can atleast sell ONE to every single customer in the club before they realize that i'm not that kind of girl. I won't get repeat dances, but at least i can sell one and trick them into thinking they're going to get their cock rubbed on. ick.

    if i like 2001, i'm going to stay up in tampa thursday-saturday and work three days in a row and sleep at my friend's apartment, and be here working my dayjob the other days. cheetah just sucked. I hate going "back" anywhere in my life, it has old energy.

    oh and lola said she'd been working for two weeks or so and was only going to work for a couple months to help her out financially, and then was going to quit for good.

    Ah.

    Well definitely do what's best. It sounds like this other club will be a better fit for you. Lots of luck!

    really? wow. that worries me (about the contact and whatnot). dollhouse in tampa (owned by the same people) is still the same.

    wtf?

    i was thinking about going over there to work with some other girls (its an hour and 20 minute drive for me) but um, maybe not anymore.

    i might have just caught it on an off-night... it might still be worth it to try cheetah's, penny, there were a lot of girls there though. might not be money. but it's like that everywhere.

    Don't worry hun, sometimes it takes awhile to really get back into it. I hadn't danced in almost two years until last November, and I think I'm still getting the hang of everything again. It will come back to you, and once you have that first big money night, you will feel great and wonder why you worried so much!

    Lolarose was kind of cold to me. I don't know why, but she was. She seemed very different.

    Maybe because she left SW, and it wasn't a happy exit either.

    ^ i dont remember what happened or why she left... but i dont see how that would make her be cold towards me, because I've never been anything but nice to her.

    She turned cold to everyone. Even those of us that got her very personal presents and handmade gifts and didn't get what was promised in return, or even a fucking thank you.

    Dunno either. Maybe she's just guarded against people on here? We'll never really know.

    I wasn't going to say anything because everyone on here I thought loved Lolarose but she is a very fake person. She lies just to have something to talk about. She lied on here about how much money she made. She used to be cool with me but once she realized I was on here she wouldn't really talk to me anymore. I felt funny too because having someone from your real life read you stuff on here is weird but come on.If anyone doesn't agree with me thats fine but I know her in real life for going on 3 years.

    I'm sorry to hear you had a bad night . I sounds like you are being really hard on yourself though. Everyone has shitty nights like that. I know I am always really down on myself after a crappy shift but then the next shift is awesome and I make a crap load of money and I get back in the swing of things. Try and be kind to yourself and stay positive. I swear whenever I go into work doubting myself I make no $$$. People can sense that in you. I hope things get better for you soon!

    i realllly think that you wont like 2001. go for it just to try it out. but i dont think you will. i think dollhouse would be better, youd have to get used to hustling again...idk maybe im wrong. good luck either way!

    Maybe theres some weird shit going on with stripper energy last night, because I had a terrible night too. I just felt all this anxiety and I had to leave early cuz I couldnt take it. The stage scared me and the customers were interested but I just couldnt get into character and hustle. It's ok, everyone has an off night sometimes.

    I think 2001 would be better for me because I can pull off just walking around looking hot and not having to sit down and make conversation. I am just NOT in the mood for small talk, I just want to get straight to the point and "wanna dance" everyone. That's what they come for to 2001, the dances, at this point I honestly don't care if it's more contact than I'm used to, I need to make my tuition money and get my independence back. I have a friend from college who works there and loves it.

    Also- I think it would be easier for me to get into "stripper mode' in a place that is very extreme from what i'm used to, because going into stripper mode is like a defense mechanism almost, you have to become a different persona to make money... at least that's how it is for me.

    i'm going tomorrow night, i'm exhausted from last night and i worked today at my day job.. and i'm ready to fall asleep right now- it's only 8!

    the girls at cheetah were grinding on guys and guys were grabbing them all over... it would pretty much be the same at 2001 right?
