    Sad I'm getting soooooo burned out!

    I could use some advice or a peptalk or something. I'm getting to that unhappy place that I got to awhile back when I "quit" dancing. Back then I had great options and did fine for a couple of years and now...well we all know it's a recession.

    I just can't deal with the toxic environment anymore...the gross custies, rude ass managers, crappy money etc. etc. etc.

    The only way I was able to last this long is because I was hopping on a plane to work every time I got close to this point and I would come back refreshed and with money in my pocket.

    I can't travel much these days. If I do it needs to be within a short drive or plane ride (like 2hrs) and I'd need to be able to purchase a last minute ticket without spending too much. Basically if something came up I'd need to be able to get home quickly without spending a bazillion dollars.

    Do you ladies have any suggestions? I was thinking of trying the Palm Springs area or maybe SF. Hell I was even thinking of Vegas. I use to work at the Rhino and I use to do well but that was before I "quit" so it's been *gasp* that was 3 yrs ago! WOW time flies!

    Also my mother lives in MD so I thought about trying Baltimore but that's a 5-8hr flight.........

    I just don't know what to do!!!

    Sorry for rambling.

    Yep. 4Play, Silver Reign, Seventh Veil, Body Shop, SRdtla, Sam's, JS (grrrrr), Skin...I'm sure there's a couple I'm leaving out. The majority wouldn't let me thru the door, Body Shop hired me for day shift which is DEAD. I use to work at the Rhino before I 'quit' and they told me to come back when Laker season is over and the roster dwindles down...I'm open to suggestions.

    I feel you! My club lowered prices last week and it's causing customers to be even cheaper! They have different specials every day and then a couple times an hour with throw out a 2 for 1 special. So we get a lot of guys who come in and ask for a 2-1 topless special. I got so sick of it a few months ago I went to Body Shop on day shift and it sucked. THen about a month ago I got hired at 4Play which I'd love to work there but I don't like the idea of being on schedule.

    What I do when I need a break from the LA grossness, is I'll call Central Casting and book extra work. And I too work at the Rhino in Vegas. Not in the summer only October-April and I enjoy working there because customers are nothing like the LA regulars.

    ^what you describe sounds a lot like the club i just left. there's a lot of hype about 4play but i'm not so sure it's the best club money wise, but then again i've never worked there. i make much better money and it's good money at my new club but i'm not going to name my current club. i'm curious as to which clubs turned you away...you look fit from the looks of your avatar.

    I use to do background work when dancing burned me out. I think the season is pretty much winding down now tho.

    Ruby were you asking me which clubs turned me away?

    yeah...i think they're just turning away a lot of girls. like this week we must've had 10 girls come in and audition, they had to turn them away otherwise it would've been way too many girls...i'm glad the place i work at is good management...if you don't make enough money they don't make you pay house fee or owe them and they turned away a million girls so the regular girls had a chance to make money...even though i made absolutely nothing last night (unless a dollar counts). i'm feeling really burned out too...especially since i have to make a far drive for my new club, so when i don't make any money it's really discouraging

    When I have guys who ask me how things are for strippers I totally lie. I just tell them that I have been very fortunate to do ok. I do this so guys won't think I'm desparate. When you act desparate it's impossible to make money. Let's face it, even when you put on a great act it's still hard to make money. I know that one of the most important rules of sales is to make the customer think you are on their level. So if they have $$$ you have to pretend like you are doing ok too and also act like you are in awe of them. If you act like you think they are really great and have a lot of money they will not want to dissapoint you. And they will be more likely to spend.

    I'm so broke that I am actually really scared. I just try to put on a good act and have faith that if I try I will be ok somehow.

    ^^^^I'll add to that. Try to go in in your best outfits, manicured , perfumed and toned. You gotta look like money and look like success, all relaxed and shit. They flock to that and want to get near the chick who has it going on. My money is waaaay off BUT I noticed it got much easier to sell when I put on a good look. I sit back chit chatting like it's all terrific and by the end of the night it's worthwhile. Not as good as normal mind you, but good enough to squeeze out a VIP and some strings of dances. Two years ago I could bounce around in a two piece and bank all night. Now I had to bring out some more elgant, gowny outfits, new supermodel-esque hairstyleand makeup. Way more effort but I've stopped the vicious money slide that started last Spring.

    Where are you working right now? All the clubs I've been to are absolutely dead.. I'm planning on auditioning at 4play next week, but I have a feeling that the club probably already has too many girls working...
    I'm not 21 yet (will be this fall) so my choices are a bit limited.

    ^i'm taking a break right now because money is dead and i got burnt out. don't worry about 21 over clubs, there's no money there anyway. i'm cocktail waitressing and averaging a little lower than i was before i took a break...so once summer hits i'm gonna be doing both...but starting over to build up regulars is a bitch. pm me some of the clubs you've checked out and i'll let you know if i've been there or danced there and my opinion. this being a public forum, i don't like letting out my club info.

    Hi I am new here. I found this from good searching under I am getting burned out on stripping. I am in Denver and the money sucks. I hate going in and looking around and seeing the same ol stale guys not tipping. I am just over it. I just got my degree and I am trying to find a job but I am already behind on bills so I need this but I lack the motivation to even go to work.
