    If I count my money before the end of the shift, I stop making money.

    When I wear extensions I make less money, I think its because I have so much natural hair that I end up looking like chewbaca with extensions on.

    If I pleasure myself before work I'm too tired to hustle.

    If I'm one of the only a few blondes to show up on a certain night, I bank


    As long as I stay on the floor, I always end up in Champagne.

    Anyone else got stripping superstitions to share, good or bad?

    I never heard of the shoes on the makeup counter. I always do this. lol. My one club's dressing room sucks ass. It's so narrow & limited seating. Alright, no more. I am a bit superstitious.

    I need to stop counting money in the middle of the night. Guilty of that too.

    I've heard of not putting your purse on the floor before. What about you "work bag", is that considered the same since my wallet is in there?

    When I get home, I count my money on the floor. They say that's bad luck too.. but it hasn't affected my money really.

    If I could sell even one dance before going on stage for the first time in a night, I always had an amazing night. I guess that's not so much a superstition...but the boost in confidence it gave me always made me untouchable. I'd often go home with 30+ dances on dead nights if I could even sell one dance before stage started.

    I never ever spend money while at work, I pack my own lunch/dinner and bring my own bottled water. Most of the takeout places near my club are either unhealthy or really expensive and $20 per shift spent on overpriced food really adds up at the end of the week.

    I always give money to charities seeking donations on the street when on my way to work. I like to think it's good karma what goes around comes around

    I've heard the typical shoes on the counter, purse on the floor, and counting your money ones.

    I swear against working on Sundays. I have never had a good Sunday and usually something horrible happens. For example, one Sunday the pole detached from the ceiling on the set before mine, also one Sunday I had a guy sit at my stage and loudly heckle me for 2 hours (yet somehow the bouncers I ALWAYS tip were no where to be seen).

    There's a regular who comes in once a week or so where I work and tips $2 bills for stage sets. All the girls keep them in their purses because they're supposed to be really lucky.

    My personal superstition: Give a bum a buck, all day long you'll have good luck. If I'm stuck at a red light and someone is standing there with a sign, I'll always give him money. It's a karma thing, I guess.

    Once I do my first dance of the night, I feel like a broke the pattern of no money. Then all of a sudden that's when the money starts flowing my way. I organize my money but don't count it. If I don't wear my flower hair clip I feel like I'll do bad. When I feel tired (like tonight) I always end up leaving right then and there. If I don't feel like talking to people or in an "eh" mood I feel like people can sense it which is a no no for making money

    I've never heard of any of these lol.

    For me, I don't believe in any of the superstitions, because if you start believing them and then a "black cat crosses your path", you're night will end up crap. I guess that's my superstition haha

    Well, I have to recant my previous post. I now have a personal superstition.

    I wear glasses like all the time (hate contacts). I have a pair for work and parties, and a pair for everywhere else. Well, last night was the worst night in 5 years, and I happened to be wearing my not-work pair of glasses (which I never do!). I told myself it'd be fine, and it was definitely NOT fine. So now, I think that if I am not wearing my work pair Ill be screwed. Yikes!

    I must be a minority, but I absolutely LOVE Sundays! I love the chilled out and mellow atmosphere after a crazy weekend and the guys that come in, are usually there for private dances. I always meet awesome customers and have great conversations while spending time in the VIP

    I find spending some money on my way in helps put me in the mood to make money. If i take a cab to work I'll always overtip the driver for good luck. If I get a drink on my way in I'll order good whiskey and overtip the bartender for good luck.

    Iv'e done this, but I bring my shoes in plastic covers, so the actual shoe never touches the counter, just the bag. This has not affected my income.

    If I don't stretch and do at least simple yoga before work, I won't profit.

    I am a firm believer in giving & then receiving it back BIG. It has happened to me & a fellow dancer friend of mine.


    I have stopped counting my money during my shift. I tell myself I have the lowest amount in my garter and keep going at it til i'm done. It has helped me make more money that way.

    i tend to make a lot of money when i really really don't want to go in or if i haven't slept in a day or two due to school. maybe i'm more relaxed when im really tired? sometimes hustling guys harder gets me less money if there's not many guys. also, getting a really good parking spot means money's comin..

    I dread when mercury goes retrograde. For bachelor parties, it really messes up everything. Dancers have car trouble, can't find the address, can't get the customer to answer calls or text. Pretty much, I just resign myself to it being really screwed up at that time of year and just go with the flow.

    Mercury goes retrograde about 3 times a year for about 3 weeks each. The last was in March. I actually have it marked on my work calendar in red so that I'm not caught off guard.

    I do badly in pink, even though I think it looks great, and the girls always compliment me. Red and-or white does much better. Or in general, sometimes if I think I look and feel amazing and every second girl is saying, 'Wow, you look hot today!', it´s a flop with the customers. Then I go back to my old faithful white bikini and red lips and suddenly start making money.
