I've probably posted on here too much recently but last Thursday night I went round various clubs in London to audition and now Im starting work as a dancer.
The first one I went to was Platinum Lace which I had an invite to after I made an application, from outside it looked pretty fancy and the bouncer was nice but I was kinda disappointed once I got down there cos the girl at reception was talking some racist shit about one of the dancers and the other staff were sympathizing with her? And when it got down to the audition the stage was small and dark with a barrier round the floor. I have no Idea how to pole dance so I tried doing floor work, the DJ played 'all I want for Christmas is you' and commented "I think shes just having a little rest" I dont think anyone could actually see me lmao so yeah... I didn't get hired there I was a complete disaster :S nearly every dancer I saw had her tits done so my anorexia shrunk tits looked crap in comparison.
I then went to Sophisticats but when I got there I was told I was too young to work there and you have to get this arranged cab service home each night which would be a disaster for my in-overdraft bank account so couldnt audition there
Finally I went to Metropolis which was also an invite from my application. It was the farest away from where I live and at that point I was exhausted from getting so many trains and I didnt have enough money to eat that day but I went in and auditioned, there didnt seem to be many customers but I found it less awkward than in my other audition- I just had to dance to 1 song going from long dress to nude. I thought I danced shit but I got clapped (dont know if it was ironic or not but anyway) and the floor manager said I danced like "a drunk professional" which I dont really understand,I was sober as fuck, but they hired me and I start Tuesday working 3 days a week 7-3am but |I have to ask the manager if I can leave early seeing as Im at university.
Im just wondering now that Ive finally got another job if its actually going to work out or not or if Im just being over optimistic. Ive been told to buy some better shoes, a short dress and a lingerie set which is going to have to come out of my overdraft.I just hope that with this job Im going to be able to pay back my debts, have enough money to live on and balance working, university and managing my mental illness or if its all just going to crash down around me and Il be in an even worse mess than when I started. Ive heard some opinions that you shouldnt strip if you dont already have some money I was wondering how true it is.
Sorry for long post I need to chill![]()

yh Ive only bought the essentials (shoes and a dress) just have to say Il get the rest later. Really dont want to have to argue with any of the managers tho cos damn I have a problem with starting shit with authority (thats BPD for you) and Im on the verge of being fired from my catering job so I dont want to end up loosing both. Il just have to get used to the transition, theres no house fees first few nights so hopefully I can make some and get back where I need to be money-wise
