    Default First night of stripping sucked

    Background: I'm black & in my mid 20s but I easily get mistaken for 20/19.
    Tl; dr alert. Sorry I'm treating this like a diary

    Skip to the xxxxxxxx to where I decided for sure this club ain't my jam


    Drove 3 hours to stay in Fort Worth to try one day of stripping. I didn't wanna be close to home and put my day job/career in jeopardy. And my bf has stripper loving friends so I didn't wanna somewhere they'd easily potentially find me

    got to dfw later than expected. & my hotel cancelled my booking bc they were full, yet failed to call and inform me. Then I had to spend time finding a new place and driving there. By the time I fix my makeup it's 8pm so I thought it might be tougher getting hired and working that same night in the city

    first club-baby dolls ft worth- filled out app, manager tells me they have too many girls right now. There were a ton on the floor so that made sense and I was hoping that that was the true reason. Mixed club but majority white. Once you open the front door you can see inside that club has no mystery. It has kind of a trashy sports bar vibe. Dark and no pole on the main stage (whyyyy?)

    2nd club-cabaret east. Literally 0.4 miles from the 1st. Club. This time I fill out an app in room in the lobby that had glass walls. Asst manager tells me it's too busy for the gm to even talk to me. Tells me to come back on a less busy day like wed or Thursday. I didn't like how right before I had spoken to the AM, he had hired 2 girls whose friend danced at cabaret too (I heard the end of their conversation). Didn't get to see inside but wouldn't have been surprised if it was all white girls dancing tbh

    3rd club. Stiletto cabaret A little further down the same street. It was around 940 by the time I got there. Manager (female too which i like to see!) basically hires me on the spot and tells me to grab my stuff from my car and get on the floor (yay)!

    Now this place I only went to bc I was driving by it lol, the other 2 I planned bc of this site. Stiletto is hood. They have like banquet chairs instead of those large velvet seats or whatever. Cheap house fee, but I wish I didn't have to pay on the first day. Tip out to dj and house mom. 6 stages (one had a swing haha my fave).



    Xxxxxxxxxxx
    I am just not a good fit. Ever dancer was black or mixed/ambiguous brown ethnicity, and all had big butts and could twerk well, do the splits, make it clap etc. I can do um none of that. I'm an awkward black girl who was raised in the suburbs and has yet to master twerking. I'm so awkward and my butt doesn't jiggle enough at all

    At at first it started off well when these 2 Hispanic guys basically summoned me to them as soon as I stepped ou onto the floor. Got 3 dances off one of them which was great. Then nothing for like 2 hours. I would be complimented by customers, some got a little handy which I hate. One guy grabbed my boob while telling me they were great. And when I said that's not free acted all offended. I didn't like the idea of constantly being topless if no one was tipping me and I wasn't on one of the stages. Maybe that makes me a prude but whatever. I'm not here at work for free entertainment. Others complimented my conversation skills but that didn't help my Wallet! Got a little customer crush on this cute lightskinned dude, but then he didn't want any dances & didn't tip when I was on stage right by him which I was butthurt by not gonna lie. So that crush ended fast.

    And then later I met these 2 guys who were about my age and cool, and got to take a hit off their bleeeep-lolwhich lots of people did at this club.

    The dances are 20 & strippers keep all

    then they basically played me and was cheated out of 60$ of dances I did for them. They paid me 60 in singles while I danced for them (3 dances for each guy and they are 20 at my club), then acted offended that I had counted it and told them they owed me. And they made it seem like bc we were "cool" and they were helping me be a better stripper some of those dances were practice. Which we never had established. I explicitly said it was 20 per song, and after the first $20 (that was given me as 2 tens), they were making it "rain" singles throughout a the other dances, just not enough to make up the number of dances I did.

    After that I told the manager I was out, got dressed, & am now in my hotel bed eating mcnuggets.

    Long story short I ended the night with like $88 after tip out/house fees.
    i wanted to at least break even after my 65$ hotel and ~45 in gas this trip is gonna cost me.

    I might try Fort Worth again Thursday and fri next week since I'm off work at my day job then. I can't compete at an urban club though bc the girls have the talent that black guys etc generally wanna see in a SC... like a damn lil Wayne video.

    I'm a little scared that stereotypes/plain old racism in the industry will make it hard for me to get workmk at a more mainstream club. I just want extra cash $$$

    Stiletto's is ghetto as all get-out. I went there to check it out when I first started scouting clubs in the area, not knowing it was a black club. They don't like whites there or any1 who they think 'acts too white'.

    Sry that you got ripped off, you will find A LOT of guys trying to pull that shit bc you're brand-new. Also that bit abt 'taking a hit off their bleeeeep' if that means what I think it does, you def don't want to stay at a club that permits/ignores that kind of activity. Again, you are brand-new & I would bet that a good part of why they let you 'take that hit' is bc they thought you're stupid & want to get you stupider so they can take advantage. Not to mention that TX is NOT bleeeeeep-friendly & all it would take is one wrong customer seeing you take that hit, then you're fkd.

    Cab East is actually a mixed club, at least it was when I worked there two yrs ago. They were popular w/ dancers bc unlike Cab North & Silver City, they weren't a whorehouse. When I applied there, first time I was told to come back & see in 2wks bc it was the beginning of July & slow. My home club was Temptations in Aledo & a girl I worked w/ there told me to come try Cab East. 2wks later I did come back & was able to get hired.

    Could you not tell a bouncer/manager that they were shorting you? At my club they would have kicked their ass over that.

    DO NOT tell customers you are new. If anything, say you are new to the club and that's why you don't twerk. I know everyone likes to say "new girl money!" but it's not worth all the assholes that try to pull one over on you. You can still get "new to the club money".

    I would maybe try a different night as well, sounds like you got a lot of the worst aspects of a Friday party crowd. A weekday night might treat you better.

    I hope your next one goes better. I was really disappointed with my first dancing shift too ( you can read it in my threads ). It can take time to find a good fit and hit a stride in dancing . You could just as easily have an incredible night next time. It can help to get started early ( for me anyway ) and try to just knock the house fee and tips out out in the start . That way by the time it gets busier, it's ALL profit which keeps me motived .

    Not all girls at ghetto clubs dance ghetto. It's just harder to hustle that crowd. Ghetto clubs generally have those kind of customers that are gonna try you. Don't tell them you are new!

    I don't know the area you're dancing in, and therefore have nothing truly constructive to say, but--good for you for not giving up! You handled rejection at 2 clubs, went to the 3rd, and got hired. You had boundaries that you stuck with(no titty-grabbing for free) and you didn't allow anyone to take advantage of you (no dancing for free/reduced price).

    I'm sorry your first night sucked so hard, but I have to say, it sounds like you have the right attitude and the strong sense of personal boundaries/self-worth that this industry requires. I agree with not telling anyone you're new to the industry, and I agree with trying again. Some nights are just bad. Please keep us updated: I predict your second night will be better. Go get 'em!
