    Default Fired :/

    Just a venting post, really. I was stripping at a lovely place for two weeks, and just received a text saying that there was no more room on their roster for me. I have no idea what I did wrong and I'm just gutted, especially because I actually love stripping and I have no idea where else to apply around here. Any advice?

    [email protected] thats f*cked up but at least you didn't have to waste your gas or time if they waited till your shift then told you in person. Are there any other clubs in the area? If not are you open to traveling to dance?

    There's about 8 or so, I've been rejected from two already though. I'm just not even sure if the other clubs will take me; I have short hair and piercings, I worry that I don't suit the "look", really.

    I might call a few tonight and see if I can organize an audition time, but I'm just not hopeful. :/

    It sucks but you do what you have to make money and survive. Buy a wig or extensions. If you have too many piercings, get rid of them.

    ^I'd also suggest trying a wig, taking out your piercings for the interview/audition and maybe even putting dermablend over your tattoos (depending on what the club's stance on them is). Looking as mainstream as possible for the audition will help your chances of being hired.

    My old club "fires" people by saying "Sorry, the roster's full" (and then not replying when you inquire about whether or not it is, or you've been axed ). It's frustrating, especially when you like the club and haven't actually done anything wrong. It frustrates me when clubs hire alt, cuvy, older girls etc etc only to fire them soon after, it's unfair.

    Instead of calling them, it might pay to go in in person (if it's convenient) and express that you are "interested in a dancing position and would like to speak to a manager".

    I've been considering a wig, I'm just worried about it falling out/shifting on stage, although I suppose if the patrons are drunk enough it won't matter, ahaha. I might go see if I can find one, thanks.

    ^A lot of girls wear them and I haven't seen that happen-maybe just don't go upside down just in case lol. Also, depending on how short your hair is you might be more comfortable using clip in extensions instead.

    Changing your hair, tanning (tanning instantly makes you look less alternative and more stripper-licious) will hopefully be enough to stripper-fy you .

    Also keep in mind that when you are rocking an 'alternative' look in a club that doesn't necessarily encourage 'alternative' looks, you might be in a position where you have to adhere more strictly to the club's rules than the other dancers. A club will look the other way when a more mainstream girl breaks the rules; they're less likely to do so for you. It's not fair, but this ain't a fair business. :/

    I'd get a long wig personally and tone down the alt look . You may be surprised in the drastic difference in earnings looking a little more main stream.

    I agree that a more mainstream look is best when that's what the clientele wants/expects.

    I've always danced with a wig, and another girl at my club does. No bobby pins or anything, just the elastic on it. Though, I don't go upside down on the pole much at all, I've only had issues with it slipping once, and it's with this longer, heavier wig I avoid wearing. Long is good, but be cautious of the weight. Something light/thinner that's breathable is best.

    You can wig tape, just get a lace wig and you can tape it down around the hair line, ive seen many girls do this.

    She go very judgmental during the video- She qualified it by saying this is my opinion at a certain time/club etc and paints a picture of the stereotypes. She tentatively mentions the positives but for every positive there is a follow up of multiple negatives.
