    Right before I walk in, I dig out my $20 house fee as well as my two copies of my entertainers license. Then I scoot in!

    I also think of how much money I'd like to earn and how it can help me out!

    Do my make up, with pump me up music playing.to put me in a dancy, hustler mood.

    Go over some mantras to reinforce the fact that I am the single must beautiful goddess that has ever lived period! Also reinforce that my customers don't deserve to walk out of the club with as much as a dime because they might only waste there money on kids, wives, bills, when I want it to buy pretty things for me, therefore I can invest it better! So the universe demands I take every penny!
    Telling myself stuff like that always puts me in a happy go get 'em place.

    I hibernate in my walk-in closet for a few hours with a glass of wine and music. I do my make-up, dance around, finish my hair, play dress up, then decide I should probably leave before I'm too late. Then on the way to work I listen to 'Highway to hell' as a joke.

    I cannot really get ready at home like I used to since my Biblethumping landlords can't be tipped off that I have started dancing again(or technically will be starting again nxt wk). My ritual tho is basic makeup at home(fill in details & whatnot in the DR so I can feel like I still blend in on the street) while listening to whatever I am in the mood for on Utube, 'dancing specific' or otherwise. My car stereo has a cd of my whatever my current favourite music to dance to is & I always get the same sandwich from Subway to eat on the way in. I have kept up the sandwich habit in my vanilla job as well since it puts me in 'work mode'.

    I take a deep breath, leave my real life, problems, responsibilities etc at the door and walk in.

    Yea. I do the sandwich thing..love Mariano's grocers (they only have 'em in IL) they make a good fresh sandwich on pretzel bread WITHOUT a lb of mayo.
    I also am very Bible oriented. but, you gotta work so I leave work of of it, I wish more ppl would do the same.
    I also listen to U tube & have a car cd player.

    1) do hair at home while watching television (relaxes me), drink a cup of tea and eat some fruit
    2) put face make up on (foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, do my eyebrows, primer, etc)
    3) while on the tube to work listen to my 'work' playlist (has all my dancing music on it)
    4) finish make up in the dressing room while drinking a glass of wine and listening to my music
    5) get dressed
    6) find out what # I am on stage, go smoke a cigarette and finish glass of wine
    6) enter the floor and make money!

    I wake up, brush my teeth, make a big cup of coffee, and get back in bed and internet until literally the last possible minute. Doesn't matter if I wake up at 1 or 5. Then I scramble to do the bare minimum as I drink a whiskey. I only listen to music before work if I'm in a bad mood for some reason, but when I am, it's silly 90s techno. I finish up my makeup on the train with a last minute touchup in the dressing room. I try not to spend more than a few minutes in there.

    i have sex, have a nice loooong shower, shave and moisturise.

    i do my hair and makeup naked, and it literally takes me like 20 minutes.

    then i have a coffee and watch tv/go on the computer right until i have to leave haha

    i rock up to work hair and makeup done. i show up 20-30 minutes before i'm meant to be on the floor. i pick my first outfit, spend a while talking shit with the other girls, deodorant/perfume/cover any blemishes

    vagina wipe/vagina spray, outfit on, shoes on, walk on to the floor, get my free drink for the night, stand by the bar and wait for the first line of customers to come in! you know they're going to go straight to the bar haha

    That sucks, what will they do if they find out? Honestly, I even wonder what they CAN do. Unless you just mean you'd prefer they don't get hostile with you and try to find ways to force you out of the place.


    I am just aspiring but I imagine I would dance around in my undies before work cause I seriously think I'm hot. I actually just realized I do that before work now? LMFAO

    I know this is going to sound insane, but I bike commute to work. The ride into the club has a nice long downhill section, and the thrill of speeding down that hill always puts me in a good mood. I try to get to work an hour before my shift so I have time to shower, do my hair, and my makeup.

    On the flip side, I've got a long uphill ride home after work. This helps me burn off any frustrations of the day. If I've had a really good shift, the uphill part of my ride is fun and challenging.

    I do not recommend bike commuting to most dancers, though. I work day shift and have a bike-only path I take to and from work. The only way a stalker would be able to follow me is if he was on a bicycle, too. When I work night shift, I drive to and from work.

    Well my name is not on the lease, as it is my friend/off&on SO's lease & I am just holding down the fort til he comes back from military training. Since I am not on the lease I do not want to take the chance of either hostility, or them trying to 'convert' me from my sinful ways, or outright saying pack your shit & get out.

    I do yoga and eat. Then I turn on music, shower, fix my hair, put on my foundation, concealer, and powder, get dressed and leave. The yoga helps me to relax and get in the frame of mind I need to be in to work.

    Shower, makeup and hair at home. Absolutely hate doing my hair.

    Then I have my sis drive me to rite aid. (She takes me to and from work) I buy some vodka, gum, and cigarettes. I don't care if I have more than half a bottle, or already have gum or whatever, I buy all three brand new on nights I work.

    Then we ride to good music, sit in the parking lot while I take a few shots and smoke, then I go in and get dressed and work.
