    Default I think I am holding myself back.

    I dunno but I really think I am. I work in a bunch of small mid-west clubs and I think I am selling myself short.

    I think I am in pretty good shape. I mean I got a booty, I have big boobs now and I have a small waist. Hour glass kinda.

    I do decent, I'm (or was) pretty happy with what I make dancing. I have no problems selling drinks or getting dances, especially since getting my boobs done. I still have regulars that come to see me even though I did quit for 6 months.

    I think I'm stuck.

    Do I dare send out pictures of myself to the larger clubs? I just don't know what to do. Believe it or not, most other dancers intimidate me. I think almost everyone looks better than me and does better than me.

    Am I really holding myself back? Or am I just having issues.

    If you think you are, you probably, are. Something is telling you, that you should try different waters. It's a step forward and any step could be intimidating, for most folks. Your feelings are not out of space, but pretty normal.
    As for the looks, I personally belive looks are not all that inportant in making money. Falling in a mental trap when, you strip can be pretty eazy. Concidering, that you are surounded, with feelings and opinions about looks, most of the time at work. It's hard to see yourself objectively, that way.
    You have to trust yourself and know, that you are the best looking girl in there, no matter what! Otherwise, you will be run over, by everyone else, who do belive that. Don't evem ask yourself, IF. you are, there is no other answer to that.

    I know what you mean. I am intimidated by the bigger, glitzy Bourbon Street clubs, so I stick to smaller clubs on the outskirts of New Orleans. But I am going with a friend of mine to audition at Scores this Friday. Hopefully I'll break out of my little rut.

    But, on the other hand, sometimes there's better money in the smaller clubs. Still, it wouldn't hurt to audition at some larger places.

    And honestly, the other dancers intimidate me too--I am always comparing myself to them, thinking, "Oh, she has much less cellulite than I do. She has perfect implants and hair. That girl is so much more graceful/flexible than me." But really, if you're working with those girls, you are just as hot as they are or you wouldn't be there. And probably there are things about you that they find intimidating!

    Pick a club you want to work at, call ahead and ask what the requirements are. Then show up and kick ass! To me dancers need to explore other territories. It helps you make more money. If you don't get hired go to another club or just make the best of it. Then try another area of your choice.
