    Default Keeping a positive attitude

    I've been dancing about a month, and overall I like it.
    However, the past couple shifts I've haven't been so great and I'm having a hard time not letting it get me down.
    It's been really slow recently, which is lame but since there's usually only 3-4 girls working it hasn't been too unbearable.
    Last night was kind of busy (for us) but we had 9 girls working... my club is really small and even though it was "busy" that's still too many girls.
    It's frustrating to realize the guy I'm sitting with is a cheap ass, and even more so to look around and see every other guy is already sitting with another girl.

    I also get frustrated when the younger "gangster" guys come in.
    I'm thin, and while I think I have a pretty nice ass, they usually go for the bigger girls that have the really big butts and can like bounce one cheek at a time and stuff and my ass just won't move like that lol.
    (I should mention that my town is strictly no contact, table dances only, so the appeal is mostly visual)
    I know people have different tastes and not everyone is going to like me, but it's still frustrating when they "make it rain" on stage for the girls before me... and then I get up there and I don't even get 1 freakin dollar!

    I know that letting it get it me is only going to kill my mood and hurt my money, but sometimes its so hard to stay positive like that!

    And on top of everything, out DJ tends to play really bad music. Dancers and customers will complain but he still plays the same stuff.
    Also, the dressing room is disgusting. There's two large garbage cans overflowing with garbage that have been sitting there since I started. And one of the sinks was clogged up with vomit for like a week before one of the other girls fixed it last night.
    AND I'm PMSing!

    Anyway, before this turns into one long rant, I really just wanted to ask if anyone has any tips/tricks/advice for keeping a positive attitude when things aren't going so hot at work.

    Thanks!

    I know exactly what you mean with the stage thing. I hate when I have to go up after a girl who had to get the broom to bring in all her tips. Then I barely make anything. Or when guys leave the stage when I walk out....soooo embarrassing for me.

    buttttt.....

    Sometimes, a break is really the only thing.
    Even if it's only like 2 days off. Pamper yourself. Doesn't have to be expensive. You can take bubble baths at home, do your own nails, eat some ice cream....whatever it takes to relax and "zone out" work.

    That way when you do go back in, maybe it's with a positive/refreshed attitude.
    I'm sorry work has been crappy, but if it makes you feel any better, you're not alone. I know it hasn't been great for me this week either. Made a total of like $220. And the majority of that was from last night! Hang in there though, for every bad night a good night HAS to happen.

    Hey hon, I just saw this today and I'm in Orlando, too, and am wondering where the hell it is that you're dancing!!! I've danced at Rachel's, Diamond Club, and Dancers Royale. I would only ever go back to Dancers Royale but I've been too lazy to go downtown to renew my license. One of my best friends dances at Diamond Club and with me in Cocoa Beach and she likes Diamond Club and has been there on and off for years. I did all right the night day I was there but I'll be honest and say that I'm not allowed to go back because I got blackout drunk and apparently smacked a guy for being an asshole. (One month sober, thank god.) I've also heard all right things about Cabaret International but have never been there.

    I refuse to dance in Orlando (except maybe at Dancers Royale because that really is a great little club) as long as I am able to drive elsewhere; I dance in Cocoa Beach and while the money isn't always mind-blowing it is hands down consistently better than anything I ever made in Orlando. 25-50% of the girls on any given night at either of the two clubs I work at out there are also from Orlando. If you'd like info on the clubs out there PM me, I'm always up to meet another SWer and I promise I don't bite.

    I never worked there, but I was a customer at Lidos in Cocoa Beach. It was fun.

    I totally know what you mean about slower nights getting you down, once you're in a bad vibe its really hard to escape from it. All I can say is that you will get used to it, it will probably take a few months for you to get used to the inconsistencies in your income that comes with stripping. I know for the first 3 months it was really hard for me to deal with shitty dead/overcrowed (girls) nights, but by the time the 4th month came around I had come to the conclusion that "there's always tomorow/next friday/whenever you work next night" It kind of helps. Also, don't miss important social events to go to work, I find it puts you in a really susceptible to bad vibes place, once I missed my friend's birthday to work on a saturday night thinking I'd bank, and I walked with twenty bucks...I totally know it was because I was cranky with custies because I wanted to be at the party, not at work.

    About the gangster guys...thats kind of funny, I always find they like the thinner girls! I'm a curvier chick and always mentally freak out whenever I have to approach someone under 25 :s I think they only like the model type, beautiful and thin...I think our heads are messing with us both!

    Is there a different club you can work at that's a bit busier and has a clientele that's more your style? Seems like where you work is the root of most of your problems (shitty DJ, gross dressing room, slow nights, clientele that isn't your style).
