    Make sense now?


    I'm a married woman, so no problem me gettin' in!

    BTW - my previous post was a poke at an earlier thread where the OP stated his concern about what others think of him and his supposed "position" in the world.

    Dream Girls aims to make everyone in the world happy, including the "others"... so eventually there will be rules to make sure absolutely no-one is offended, everyone is happy, and when we are done.... drum roll please... we will end up with .... more drums..... Hooters!

    I was too busy with the Project: Dream Girls. I saw all the fan fest just a few minutes a go.

    Well....sadly from what very little I read on the "Dream Girls" topic, it ain't making anybody happy.

    But thank goodness for Hooters! (.) (.)

    My wife has been dancing at a small midwest club for about a year and a half now. Based on bits I hear from her, traffic is down a bit in general. Big spenders are now moderate spenders (except for a very few regulars). Some nights the club is chock full of losers who want to grope and gawk but not buy dances. Sometimes its pretty empty. She averaged $300 per shift at first, and now has an average goal of $200 per shift. Sometimes she makes more ($545 one night last week) and sometimes less ($65 last night. . . she was pissed!) Now, as always, the money goes to the smart girl with a good work ethic. She is always saying how many of the other girls just sit at the bar or in the dressing room and bitch about not making money while she does one VIP after another.

    In general though, I would say the club has not suffered to the same degree as the economy as a whole. Although, she did mention recently that the bigger club in town may be shutting its doors in the near future (rumors only at this point). Too big for its britches, I imagine. I think the clubs that will make it through to the end of the recession will be small efficient clubs with low overhead and reasonable tip-outs that don't drive the girls back into mainstream employment. It's all about being competitive.

    ^ A hard working dancer who understands the business and hustles instead of sitting at the bar will come out best when the economy recovers.
    Once again I have embraced my addiction and have put off the moral dilemma to another day.

    I have stopped going as regularly as I used to. The times I have gone, the clubs in my region....let's just say the South (not Florida or Texas) don't have a lot of customers and have a lot of girls.

    Now when I go in I feel like I am getting mobbed and feel very uncomfortable!

    Sometimes I just want to go in, have a beer, and watch the stage dances (of course tipping for those). This was never a problem before, but now, with all the pressure from the girls, this is nearly impossible now. Also, I feel very guilty now if I don't buy dances and have to turn away throngs of girls.

    This makes me want to go even less than before, and I am sure this is probably a situation that many customers now find themselves. It becomes a death spiral from a business sense.

    I would like to learn what made you reach that conclusion. I am curious.
