    Default holidays = more beggars?

    I had an abnormally high instance of beggars yesterday. So much so that I started looking for common causes. It was the first time I'd ever been retweeted by @iPartyChat but it's also the beginning of the holidays, where everyone starts to look at their balance sheets and go, "How much do I need to save up for presents/parties/family stuff?"

    When I was a model and used to do porn, hobby clubs and workshops I noticed that the profit from amateur photographers dropped off steeply in November through early January and then started slowly climbing until it reached the usual "it's cold out" rates in February. Do you think cam work goes through its own down then up again? I cammed only sporadically for a few years and then full time only starting last January or so (I think?) so I wouldn't really be able to see a pattern yet.

    What do you think? iPartyChat? Holiday belt tightening? Isobel attempting to rationalize and make fit an imperfect and irrational world?

    God yes freeloaders are coming out of the woodwork! I've cursed out more members lately than I care to admit. They're pissing me off! Every hour I'm getting asked about some kind of holiday sale. I might just stop camming altogether for a few months and just focus on content lest I scalp myself.
    Bitch? Actually I'm an evil cunt. Slut? Try dirty little whore. Either way, you have to pay for it.

    I think there's too much "looking for deeper meanings" going on. There's no summer slum, holiday slump, etc. etc. I think it just a.) had to do with the site, and b.) has to do with random chance.

    As for as a.) goes, SM has really slowed down for a lot of girls since PartyChat came out. And MFC has slowed down for a lot of girls because of a mass influx of new girls. Several other sites have just had a paid traffic drop for some weird reason. But it comes with the territory.

    Last year I did pretty good during the holidays until after New Years. It's still early ladies, so don't give up!
    Taking a break from all unproductive shit will prove to be the best choice you can make.

    I think there's too much "looking for deeper meanings" going on
    Perhaps, but perhaps not. Where the USA is concerned at least, 'Thanksgiving' ( which includes Black Friday ) marks the start of holiday spending requirements, the start of rising heating bills, etc. at the most basic level. On a higher level, 'Thanksgiving' marks the point where financial conditions for the next year start to become fairly apparent ... which in the case of the USA are likely to mean an increase in payroll taxes, an increase in income taxes, an increase in Alternative Minimum Taxes, etc. if no legislative action is taken in the next few weeks to prevent it ( which is highly unlikely given the failure of the SuperCommittee to come to any agreement regarding US gov't debt/spending reductions ). At the same time you've got the 'disappointment' from US stock markets that the hoped for 'Santa Claus' rally is likely to actually be a continuance of the last 2 weeks decline ( based on spreading EuroZone problems ). Put it all together, and you've probably got a lot of guys thinking that they need to cut back further on their 'discretionary' spending.

    When I was dancing in the UK, the holiday season was the busiest time of the year - everyone starts celebrating, going to christmas parties, wanting to go out and have fun. Bankers also got their christmas bonuses (bear in mind, this was just before the crash/recession/etc etc).

    In Canada, dancing over the holidays was actually pretty quiet - I don't know why...maybe the christmas parties just don't spill over into the clubs?

    This will be my first year camming over the holidays, so I'll be really interested to see how it goes. I wonder if people will be belt tightening in the next few weeks in order to spend money on christmas, or if the act of shopping and spending a lot will actually encourage more spending online....I wonder if wishlist buying will rise as fans buy "christmas gifts" for their favorite girls...I also wonder if the actual week of christmas will be busy with really lonely guys looking for a connection in a family centric time. I worked a club on ONE christmas eve. It was incredibly lucrative....and incredibly depressing at the same time.
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
