    Default Nervous as hell!

    k, so yesterday I went to a club near my house in Charlotte, not really expecting to get the job, but i went because i said i would and i didn't wanna be a bullshitter. anyway...so i get out and the doorman comments about how good i look (i just had on shirt, jeans, and black pumps) and i'm feelin all good and stuff the chick inside took my ID, i went to the bar and was fillin out the app and a customer comes up to me. he's like, "i just wanna tell you how beautiful you look and i LOVE your hair. do you work here?" and i thanked him and said i was trying. i finished and i saw the manager and he seems like a really awesome guy. i didn't have to get half-naked or dance or anything. he just wanted to see my tattoo (i think they have issues with too many tatts). so at this club you have to work 4 days a week from 8 to 2. and he asked me if i could start tomorrow and i said yes!

    so he said he's not gonna put me on the big stage yet (thank god), just the smaller stage at first. then he's gonna put another girl with me and show me some stuff. YAAAY. hopefully it's kinda slow tonite because it's snowing and downsouth people act like its the end of the world when they see a little snow and wanna shut shit down lol.

    yall i am so damn nervous! i was shaking in the car on the way home like omg this shit really just happened?! maaaaan....i don't wanna freeze up or anything and the manager was just like don't think about it. lol that's so much easier said than done. OMG.......i don't know how to calm myself. any suggestions??

    oh yeah, and now i gotta pick a new name because Isis is already taken. i'm thinking about:


    • India
    • Selena
    • Imani
    • Naomi
    • Yazmin
    • Nadia
    • Kyra (pronouced with the long "i")

    Congrats on the job!! I work in Winston-Salem, so I'm a fellow North-Carolinian.

    I personally like Kyra. They're all good names though.

    I'd go with India. It's easy to remember and not common.

    so i went, yay! it did take me 2 hrs to get on stage but they were really patient with me and willing to work with me. most of the girls there are SUPER NICE, except one, but i don't care. and i definitely need to get some more outfits tomorrow.

    so it was snowing here and it was slow, so after house fees, including tipping the dj and the bartenders ($3 i took home $27, yaaay! LOL not much, but i'm not discourage. if the weather isn't too bad then i will work tomorrow, sunday, and monday. yaaay im excited!

    oh and there was this one drunk guy there who kept getting on my nerves. like he was soooooo gross. i was dancing and he was like "you better get on this dick" like tryna push me down on him and i kindly explained that we're not allowed to do that (no grinding) and he was like "this really must be your first night" and he just gave me his money and pretty much sent me on my way. and then later on that night he came up to me AGAIN talkin bout "give me a lapdane" and i did, and he basically said the same shit. and he only gave me $3 and i told him he needs to pay me the rest of my money and he did and left. liek what an asshole, but i'm getting used to it. this is definitely a better experience than when i went and danced at that other shitty ass club

    yaaay!

    Congrats! Yeah, the money can be shit for a little while till you get the hang of it and figure out what you're doing. Just hang on and it'll get better.

    And everybody's having trouble banking at my club. Or I just keep picking slow days to come in.

    Haha, I had a guy like that the other night. "Oh, the other girls do for extra money!" I just rolled my eyes at him. At the end he said "Give it a few weeks and you'll change your mind."

    Gross.

    lmao men can be so nasty, but i guess that''s to be expected in this industry at times. oh well. we'll see if i have to work today because of the snow. i might pick up an extra outfit and some t-bars or something. but we'll see cuz i really don't wanna go out there, but its the only time i have. i work my regular job tomorrow and pretty much have to get ready and go to the club.

    I feel ya on the snow issue!!! I'm in the same area as you, and I decided not to go in last night because of it. Ultimately it didn't snow too much here (typical) but the roads were as icy as hell so I guess it was worth it. I bet no-one around our area did good the last night or so lol!

    damn that's crazy....i didn't go to work last night. the manager said to call beforehand, but i hope i'm not in trouble because nobody answered and i didn't get a call back either. hopefully that means we were closed...i'm supposed to go back tonite but i dunno yet, we'll see if this crap melts. i think i should probably go, or at least try, weather permitting.

    Everytime a customer says something along the lines of extras like, "Well, the other dancers do extras for such and such amount of $$$!" Just tell him, "Well if you want to pay for an STD be my guest " and giggle/laugh about it. They usually will stop (Again, I say usually, not always) and buy a dance or two. Guys seem to like funny girls! ^^;

    hey im in NC too! haha its been snowing here as well. No ones knows how to handle it. The supermarket ran out of staple foods like onions and potatoes. lol

    Anyway you shouldn't be driving if you feel like it won't be safe to drive, but don't assume that nobody is coming into the clubs because of the unusual/shitty weather. I made over $200 friday night ($200 is on the low end of my average btw, and not out of the ordinary for NC nowadays); a co-worker of mine made like $400 that night, $300 of it off of ONE guy (it's like they say, it only takes one guy to make your night!). So basically it was an average to less-than-average night, but everyone made SOMETHING.

    I think hustling and making conversation is definitely the part that comes with time. You can be as hot as all get out, and still not be able to talk a guy into a dance if he doesn't want one, until you've got more of a grip on what the guys wanna hear etc. Heck, I've been dancing for 18 months and while I think it's gotten a lot better, there's definitely still times when I sit down and then without about 10 seconds its awkward lol!

    I would def suggest reading through tips for sitting with guys in the Hustle Hut section, I've gotten some great advice from in there. And also just be yourself and don't feel the pressure of selling a dance so much that it winds up screwing you over instead. When I sit down with a guy, I just ask a few get-to-know-you questions, try to lead off the responses he gets and smile a lot, look super interested etc. And since I know that realistically every single guy in the club will not say yes, it lets me just chill and have a little conversation so they feel comfortable getting some dances, because I know that if they say "no" then I can just move on to another guy anyway. Focus on breaking the ice first, worrying about a dance second
