    Default Came out of retirement today...exhausted but happy with myself

    I went back to work today after a three-year hiatus from dancing! I was recently laid off from my marketing job and I have been working my ass off trying to find work, to absolutely no avail. I started kicking around the idea of going back to dancing, and finally decided I'd get back into my 7-inch platforms. I was nervous as hell, but I worked a day shift today, and made $200. I don't think that's too shabby since I've still got to get my game back and re-learn the hustle!

    One thing that did freak me out was how handsy some of the customers were. Previously, I had worked in a state where the 3-foot rule was STRICTLY enforced by floor staff and management. I had never even given a lap dance until today, and I had guys trying to make out with me, suck my nipples, and touch my kitty. I have to say it was pretty exhausting keeping hands and mouths off my no-touch zones.

    My knees are bruised, but it feels good to be back! And the money is way better than my unemployment compensation!

    Congratulations! I am in the same boat. I took 2 years off, and am now in my 2nd week back. It does feel good and the money is great compared to that of my "real job." I'm right there with you on the pain, also. I have a hard time working two days in a row because my body is sore sore the next day!

    I hope all goes well for you. I know the suckiness of a high contact club.

    Thanks! Just go ahead and do it! I was nervous as hell about going back and kept procrastinating and now I'm so glad I'm back. You'll do great, especially since you'll be fresh from your retirement and not burned out!

    Thanks Althea. Yeah, I'm definitely taking tomorrow off--there's no way I could go in tomorrow--I'd be too sore!

    I'm going to be scoping out other clubs too. There are plenty in my town, so hopefully I'll find some that are lower contact.

    I'm going to buy some new shoes and see how it is walking in them again. I hardly wear heels so we'll see how it goes, and I'm so out of shape...I'm (hopefully) going to be sweating a lot haha. I've been sick but I think I'm gonna go into tomorrow to talk to the manager.

    welcome back! Grabby little bastards probably just trying to take advantage of the new girl.

    Thanks everyone. Even though I was put off by the grabby old dudes, it feels so good to be back. I had forgotten how much I love to dance and how, in my opinion, this job beats most corporate jobs--at least the ones I've had! Unless business really dries up, I think I'm back for the long haul!

    So I made it to the club and have worked two nights. Felt like a total newb on stage dancing but made pretty decent money--still need to brush up on my hustle though too. Both nights were slow but I did get paid for conversation while it was dead and the guys are much better tippers than my last club. I'm sore but I'm working again tomorrow...while I should be saving up my money I'm tempted to go buy a new outfit instead of wearing all my old stuff! My knees are banged up and I come home exhausted but it actually feels good to be back dancing...hope that feeling stays!! I think I'm like you Shoshanna, I'll be back in for the long haul!

    Good work girls! Ruby it doesn't hurt to invest in your business. You feel more confident in something new and then make more money. It's a tax write off anyways.

    Yay Ruby! Sounds like you're kicking ass already! It'll only get better once you get back into the hustling groove!

    UPDATE: The club I really want to work at turned me down last week. The manager told me he had just hired a bunch of new girls and that he didn't want to hire any more. He told me to try back the next week in case any of them didn't work out.

    I popped in this afternoon, and he told me that I could start tomorrow. Yay! Word on the street is that this is the best money club in town. Let's hope it lives up to its reputation!

    I'm happy for both of you ladies. I'm glad it went so smoothly and yeah contact is a bitch. I am considering coming out of retirement for this upcoming week only but am incredibly nervous.

    I am unemployed right now and active on the job hunt but next weekend is Superbowl Sunday and I live in the city the Superbowl is happening this year so I figure I might as well try to bank on that.

    I am nervous because my last day at work I had a minor bout of anxiety (sometimes I have anxiety attacks) and it also happened to be my last day so I am just worried it will happen to me while I'm back at the club.

    I also want to see if I can stay off main stage and just stay on the side stages.

    Its been three months since I stopped but towards the end I was dreading mainstage (my club has 4 side stages as well which I dont mind).

    I get really bad anxiety and on stage i feel ridiculous but its gone away. i've made a grand this week (good money for la and for my first week, i think--def more than my regular job). this guy was trying to actually hustle me tonight into meeting him otc to hang out and gave me money to let him know he was 'legit' and would pay me more once we met up. i took the money and was like thank you very much, "see you soon!" and my shift was over and went home. and buying a new outfit definitely helped my confidence. the anxiety goes away. though the first couple of shifts i was so shaky i dancing like bambi on stage. haha.

    I have a feeling that's what will happen to me. Like I'm just destined to go back...I stopped dancing two months ago and it seems I can't stop thinking about this life. The hustle is part of me, it's like I'm a crackhead for stiletto heels and slinky g's. So now I decided to start blogging about my issues with NOT being a dancer...go figure. LOL
