    Yes, she did. The people still favor Michelle but welcome to 2017. Melania may be "prettier" but Michelle was WAAAAYYYYY classier and a much better dancer. Won't get too much into the politics but I am just saying the American and In'l people loved that Michelle.

Granted, they blow it all, but they have noooo idea. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
    So this makes me wonder... reading through this thread it sounded like there are two viewpoints, first being that strip clubs are all completely dying out, and the second that they will likely keep existing, but making $1000 a night regularly isn't going to come back. If the second option is true, could it be that people would just have to start viewing stripping as simply a job instead of a ticket to big riches and luxury?

    I've worked some exhausting, physically demanding, customer service jobs for $11 an hour and personally I would consider making even $20 an hour stripping (without extras) on average a very good deal. Maybe not a goal, but not bad at all in my opinion. Maybe I live in a poor ass country, but the people I know who make around $20 an hour in a regular job have at least a Master's degree.

    Maybe I sound cheap, or maybe I'm just a new generation stripper who's pleased with less? I know stripping is hard, but some of the amounts people refer to as "bad nights" seem absurd to me... I'd be beyond content making $10-20 more an hour compared to a regular job, especially during my studies as a part time job. I might want more if I did stripping for a living, but as it's been discussed in this thread, it's possible that the days where you can live comfortably as a stripper are fading and may not be here anymore in a decade or two at all.

    ^ Bingo on Option #2. I think they'll still be around but in a different capacity. I think that is where some of the frustration from older girls comes from... they used to make $1000 regularly pre-2007, hence could work only once a week and have all their bills paid + spending cash, and they aren't used to having to treat it as a 4-5 day a week job. That's not to say they're wrong or anything, I get it, it's kinda like culture shock.

    I refer to the girls in my club being happy with $150 simply because they could easily make more. The topless girls are generally cranky with <$300 AND we don't have to be all nude. If it was a case of the entire city having an average of $150, then no, they have every right to be happy with that.

    When you wanna compare dancing 'like it's a job' vs. straight jobs, there's cost-benefit analysis. Dancing is murder on your knees/feet/back, it can't be put on your resume so you have huge gaps if it's your only job, LE and club bust risks, assault/getting roofied risks, no workers comp if you get hurt, many of the girls here drive 45 minutes each way to a decent club so they have car wear-and-tear.... etc, etc. Roll all that in and dancing for $30/hour is not so appealing.

    When you consider that here in Phoenix, a girl with a bachelors could teach for $20/hour, plus benefits & paid sick days, plus the state puts 10% on top of your salary into a retirement fund... Or that a decent waiter here makes $7 minimum wage + tips, so they easily clear $20/hour... I dunno. In my mind, if the two are similar financially, it's like "Why put up with all the negatives to dancing when one of those options is there?"

    It's all a matter of opinion I guess. I personally am in the camp of If There's Anything That Pays The Same, I'm Out.

    I remember "those days"...I'd make a rack a shift easily. It was consistent. Girls would get mad if they "only" made 400.

    I don't see it happening, sadly.

    Nope. I think the spending will be the same.

    I doubt it, but at least it'd be a small silver lining...

    People who used to spend freely 10-15 years ago are now afraid to do so again because they're too scared of another recession. I remember 12 years ago when I danced...people were so loose with their money. Then they lost their jobs, etc. And now they aren't so quick to spend anymore.

    I actually want to point a finger at several rural clubs that could have easily made a lot more money if they had just gotten off of their asses and been proactive about courting dancers, controlling in-house issues, and firing problem employees (since strip clubs seem to attract so many non-dancer flunkies who crave the stimulation of a strip club job.) Some of these clubs deserve to fail.
    This is so true! Corporate clubs have money for advertising and promotions, security ....and it's so nice to not have the independent contractor tax hassle. Really it's almost like the old burlesque circuit model, where dancers made the club money by hussling champagne (sound familiar?)

    A corporate club could move teams of dancers around (keeping a variety of looks but reduce competition) and train them in sales and pay a base plus commission. It would be a return to an old older model...

    Some rural clubs still pay girls and don't have VIP. It works so much better, stage tips tend to be higher and guys with more money buy dances and tip for conversation. Oh! I worked at a place in '05 where customers bought you drink chips; you could trade them for drinks OR stay sober and get a cut on that drink (I just carried soda water with lime, 'oh I'll drink yours next blah blah") money and less drama for everyone!

    You're not under any obligation to list ALL work experience on a resume. The only reason it'd be a problem is if they ASK if there's anything else and you said no. And that might not actually be legal? I'm not sure since I work with law enforcement and government/public sector jobs have different rules (and can ask that).

    Gelsey,
    I think you need to list all RELATED job experiences to position you are applying. Some people work 2-3 job, it's their business. Another thing, if they literally asking you (like for top level, clearance demanding positions) all official jobs you had. That's anther thing. Well, in such case list it. It's legal, you pay taxes for that.
