    I have used Janet's agency before. I went to Guam. I don't regret the experience, but yes, the club's earning potential was grossly underestimated. I had to leave early because I was losing money and the ticket out of there was expensive. I think she is just out to make a buck for herself to be honest, and is less concerned about the well being of the dancers. I think it is very irresponsible of her to be recruiting dancers for Macau where gang-sponsored prostitution is the name of the game.

    I've never met her, but this statement is very common in our industry... not just of Janet - but in general.

    Yea, you're right. In fact I think it would apply to many people in general, but this industry is chock full. Suppose it is the independent contractor aspect that attracts those with the mentality of 'I got mine.' Janet is an experienced dancer herself, so she may have transferred that attitude to her existing business. I'm sure some have had positive experiences, but it seems chew em up and spit em out is her M.O.

    I would be scared to work for any sort of recruitment company; booking girls at places where dancers are needed. I'd assume that there's a reason why these clubs are 'hard up' for girls, I'd want to know why no one wanted to work there. Although to be honest I'm not familiar with these kinds of agencies, why do girls choose to work with one and how do the agents pick places?

    ^^^ Not all clubs that use recruitment agencies are bad though. For example, over the summer I went to a brand new club and they just wanted hotter dancers than what they were getting locally. They literally were turning girls away who came into audition. It was a nice club, not top tier, but not trash either. Most of the clubs in that area weren't great. By bringing in better quality dancers they were hoping to attract prettier girls from the area who had never considered dancing before, and getting really good ratings and reviews right away.

    The clubs that Janet books dont pay for your expenses? Thats weird. Ive never used her but i always thought the point of going through an agency was so someone else would handle the hassle of booking club/flights and so the club would cover your traveling expenses. Thats why i used an agency in the past (traveling entertainers). Yea i definitely wouldnt use an agency if the clubs didnt cover my expenses though...at that point you can just travel wherever you want, stay in a hotel/hostel/couchsurf and do your own research of clubs in the area and work at the one best for you, not the one that needs girls.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Nope, I'm clueless too. Is she a SW member? The only girl I know of that books dancers is Nakkitta (I think....?) - and from her posts she seems alright...

    ^^^ I've never seen Janet post here either. I think I normally prefer to work with people I already feel like I know. That has it's advantages and disadvantages though. You can't always predict how people will be in person by how they are online, and sometimes not getting involved in stuff (including online) can be a good thing.

    I like to keep my expectations low. A good stripper will figure out how to make money in any club situation. She sent me to a club once that I wouldn't consider a dive, but to the girls used to high end clubs, they were the equivalent of roughing it camping. The other girls were of the first plane out (with their little purse dogs, lol. The only reason I used her to go to this club in Baltimore was to eventually go to Spain with her. My plan worked... but the club in Spain did not. It was SO EXCLUSIVE, lol, that no one even knew about it! I switched to another club quickly that was busy and popular. That club was booked by Jason. IMO janet could never be using the dancers like this guy does. It i was disgusting. I hope he has cleaned up his act somewhat, and I'm not just talking about the way he treats the dancers.
    Janet doesn't check out the clubs first hand. In the case of the club in Balto. she new that the dance price was 30 for nude for example. But what she didn't know was that the dance price for the customer was actually 60 each time paid for at the bar. The dancer gets half of that. When she found that out, amoungst other things that you could only know if you were there she was dissapointed in the place.

    Unless the club is brand new and in a bad location (which is probably not a good idea to book with anyway because there will not be much clientele), the only reason agencies book for clubs is because the management & staff are terrible or they can't keep girls because there isn't enough clientele or not enough spendy clientele. That's my experience. You're better off going to the club by yourself and not being stuck in a contract with a club if they turn out bad... and even if you go to a new club, you'll be paying out-of-pocket the agency's fee... which a few girls on here said they had to do. I think its sad and selfish. Shows how much agencies really care about the girls' the book & their wellbeing (not at all).

    I wouldnt think of it as mean comments, i would think of it as ways to improve your current buisness model. I dont think anyone has said anything particularly specific about you, just generalisations about "the buisness". I dont know you and personally would never use an agency to send me to foreign countries to work, ive heard of too mny horror stories. But yeah, i would just use the negative feedback to improve on what you already have. Many people in this industry are only our for themselves, its not necessarily a reflection on you personally, maybe just a way of imrproving your buisness.
