    Default Flashdancers NYC CLOSING

    so this was a rumor until owner confirmed a couple days ago (I work in the sister clubs) that Flashdancers is closing. I've heard various ideas on what the new space will be but basically private eyes is becoming the new flash. We're all freaked because that means dancers, DJs, massage girls and other staff from flash will be distributed throughout eyes and dolls and there will no doubt be cuts.

    Basically, if anyone is thinking of auditioning at flash, don't, and if anyone has any recommendations for an anxious girl to audition in the city please let me know

    Sapphire bought them. It is to be called Sapphire Times Square. I believe It will be opening in October.

    Holy mackerel, I never thought I'd see Barry sell. Or is he even involved with Trashdancers anymore? Nice to see his bigoted ass on the wane.

    yeah from what i understand we're gonna be flash on October 1st so I guess that the sapphire opens in October. What's remarkable is that we were told absolutely NOTHING until a DJ told one girl who told another girl who told another girl etc etc until finally they knew that we were all finding out and stopped denying it every time a girl asked. Now there's massive construction every day (while we are working) and Barry comes in and shows the girls picture of "how great its gonna be". I don't know how everything went down but this is a massive shit show.

    Where do you guys think is still a good place to work in the city if I do end up fleeing?

    They're bringing flash girls to us and they're deciding through their own methods who gets to stay or go. Basically, if there's gonna be two times the girls without the increase in customers, then I'm going to try to leave. Because the management is relying a LOT on flash customers coming to the "new flash" but there's a good chance they'll disperse to other clubs.

    They always DENY DENY DENY until they can't any longer. Just last week they put up the flyers in the dressing room at Sapphire 60th ("coming soon SAPPHIRE TIME SQ.) meanwhile the rumors had been circulating well before that. The first few months, even up to the first year the Flash original customers will come try out the new Flash and then most likely they will go to other clubs as they feel that its "not the same". It happened with Ricks, people trying out Vivid and returning back to Rick's or going to other clubs such as Sapphire AND it happened when Sapphire 39th opened as well. Guys will give it a shot but men are creatures of habit. When Vivid opened and many of the Sapphire staff left to Vivid, they brought their customers with them to try it out. So the first year was pretty good and then when they realized it was not the same or whatever complaint they had, they went back to Sapphire. Also being that it's a new club and everyone wants to make money, when a guy comes in they get pressured so much to tip the hosts more than usual, to buy more bottles than usual, 5 girls flocking to one customer, etc and the guys get scared away. There is an incredible pressure to make "numbers". That's my experience with the new clubs in the city. I would find a new club now, audition while it's slow season and before flash closes, just in case.

    So will there be 3 sapphires in NYC? The one on 60th, Sapphire 39 and sapphire TSQ? Or they will close the one on the 60th street?

    It’ll be 3 for now but I’m hearing rumours that the 60th location will close when the lease expires

    Now they’re saying that we’re not gonna open on October 1 the way we were supposed to lol so New York Dolls will be the main club for a week at least. Does anyone recommend working at Sapphire? (Ricks just never hires me, idk tattoos I guesss)

    No, the new Flashdancers. They closed Private Eyes for the week for repairs (they’re trying to create a “completely new club” aka the new flash) and flash’s lease is expiring on the 30th. Originally we were told that Monday will be our opening date but now they’re saying it probably isn’t. So that leaves 2 clubs closed next week and Dolls as the only club that will be open, and Dolls does not get busy at all lol

    Got it so Private Eyes will be the new Flashdancers. NY Dolls will remain open and the old FD will now be Sapphire Time Sq. These things NEVER open on time. Have you secured a back up plan?

    Which housemom? Platinum Blonde? Older brunette thicker set lady? They like a more glamorous look. Do your makeup stripper glam heavy and wear fake eyelashes. They can't force you to do anything, you're an independent contractor. Why Ricks? Why not try the other clubs in the city? It does not seem like you have a choice in the matter with Dolls having NO money.

    The thicker brunette lady. I might try sapphire. Ive tried Scores, Lace, Hoops, and Satin dolls with no luck and don’t know of the other clubs in the city are worth trying (for example Hustler Penthouse etc)

    Oh yes she is so sweet!
    At this point I would try those clubs too. Sooner rather than later. They know people are going to be looking for work from the flash closing and can afford to be pickier. Good luck.

    I’m still really new to makeup and glam looks and I guess I’ve gotten away with being fairly minimal while at Private Eyes. I’ve heard Hustlers is really really slow. You recommend trying it? Also, the link isn’t working. Which look?

    Get your makeup done before going to audition at Sephora or mac. Then get your makeup done with the artist at the club until you learn. Use YouTube tutorials.
