    Crossfingers Audition Last Night Actually Went Well! Is "Callback" a Good or Bad Sign?

    I had an epiphany yesterday.

    I moved out of my parent's house four months ago with my son. I'm slowly realizing that my income is not sustainable for my lifestyle (gas/tolls from commuting 45 minutes to work each way, daycare costs, rent, car insurance, repairs, etc.) My life has been very hard these past few months, and I feel like I've brought the stress upon myself, unnecessarily. Things are so bad right now that I have to go to the food pantry today because I'm running out of things to feed my son, and I don't know how I'm going to get to work this week because I only have a quarter tank of gas left in my car, and I don't get paid until next Friday.

    My mind keeps going back to dancing, and I feel like being a successful dancer would aid in solving the majority of my financial problems. More than that, I've been wanting to dance since the age of 18 (I've been on this site since 2005!), and even though I keep psyching myself out, self-sabotaging, and failing at dancing, I keep coming back to it. I know I don't want to be a career dancer, but when it comes down to it, I've been broke/struggling for years. The potential income from dancing might be enough to finally lift myself up to the point where I can be financially afloat, and start to work on my real dreams (being a personal chef, starting my own business).

    So, I pretty much blew off work yesterday, and went to audition at the only local club I haven't been to yet. When I walked in, I immediately liked the atmosphere of the club. I was feeling confident because I've lost 15 pounds since my last audition, and my outfit looked great. The guy who auditioned me was really cool and laid back, and so I didn't feel nervous or intimidated. Dancing in an audition is always scary for me, but I had practiced all day and I'm feeling like I did good! The guy said, "All right, looks good to me!" and had me fill out my name/stage name, phone number, and availability on a sheet of paper. He said, "We'll call you. If we don't call in a week, you should call us", said goodbye, and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

    I'm not sure what to expect, or when I should anticipate a call, or whether I should look at some other clubs further away? The problem is that I woke up with the same problems I had yesterday--I still have to go to the food pantry, and I still have less than a quarter tank of gas, and I have work tomorrow. I was hoping to be hired on the spot and start right away so that I can make a little gas money at least.

    What should I do?

    If they call you back, great, but in the meantime I would see abt getting hired sm where that will let you start right away. You have bīlls to pay, after all, & dancers are a rather transient bunch. Staying for just a few nites or wks at one place & then moving on is not that unusual, & should not be a problem as long as you leave on good terms. Start at a different club to get the $$ rolling in, & see how it pans out getting in at your desired club.

    Strip club managers are notoriously passive about rejecting dancers, so this can go either way. It doesn't sound like you can afford to wait for a call that may or may not come in the next week or so, so I would be hightailing it around all the clubs until one would let me work right away. If they do end up calling, you can always go back.

    Can you take a bus/pubic transit to the next club to avoid depleting your gas?

    Any kind of transit to other clubs costs at least $2.50, and my bank account is at like $-9.
    Being at this point is kind of mind-boggling. But now I think that this might be a good time to cam? I haven't cammed in months but I have DP. I just need to earn like a couple of twenties to stay afloat this week.

    ^Camming sounds like a great idea, at least for the interim, especially since you're already set up. Sending lots of spend customer thoughts your way!

    Also, can you maybe try phone sex, Nite Flirt or something? There's a big thread on it in Camm. Conn., they pay weekly I believe. Is there a place in your area that does bachelor parties?
    Just trying to think of some ideas here..how about doing focus groups? They usually pay cash, look on craig's or backpage.

    Like everyone else has said, it could go either way. I've only ever had one manager say 'we'll call you' and I actually did get hired and was surprised because the person I knew who worked there said the manager usually just hired on the spot. When I have not been hired (I've been rejected twice) the first time they said they weren't taking on new dancers and the second time they just said "you are a very pretty girl but you did not pass this part" Fuck you I still resent that place. One of my clients today was talking about going there and I could barley keep my disgust back.

    I wouldn't wait, I would either cam or audition because no one can tell you for sure and you don't want to waste a week waiting just to find out they didn't hire you. It is a bit unusual to make you wait that long, when I got called back I auditioned on a Friday night and was called back on Sunday.

    I hope it goes your way but in my experience the "We'll call you" routine is a polite brush off. Only one time have I ever been surprised and that was at Double Visions. I've been rejected before because of my weight or other flaws. Work on losing weight and toning up, in the meantime find a dive that will let you work.

    I have been told "we will call you" once and I got called back. Good luck!
