Hey girls,
I need some advice. I think a lot of you know that I work in a bikini bar in the valley in LA. It has a nude bar next door and we are allowed to do lap dances as long as we are back on time to do our stage dances at the bikini bar.
Things had been going better. I actually had a $500 night last Saturday and only had to tip out $10!! I tipped out $30, just to be generous.
The owner likes me, as well as the management, bouncers and all of the pretty female bartenders. They treat me with respect and have been polite to me.
Here is my problem: For once, for some reason, I am pretty much the most popular dancer in the bikini bar. I have always danced well, but as far as popularity, I've maybe been in the top 10 or so in the clubs where I have worked, but not like, the top. I don't have implants, I am not blonde, I am not the youngest, but certainly not the oldest. I love stage dancing and I try to have a good attitude, even on slow days.
Well, there are about three dancers there who would love to see me quit or get fired. They try not to let me on stage. They get tweaked when they see me make money. Two of them are a lot older than me and all three of them are a lot bigger and taller and are always fucked up on drugs and alcohol.
Last night, the one who packs a gun, accused me of dancing longer than I should have. (Two songs a set, two stages.) She has done this before and I usually just let her dance. Last night, she said I had finished my set, when in reality, I had one more set to go. I reassured her that I was right. Then other people, men and women told her that I was right. She kept yelling at me and I finally, for the first time, lost my temper and told her to shut the fuck up, damn it!
Oh boy! While I was finishing my song, she called me names, used her ghetto speak, accusing me of saying that I was "better" than her....et.
I finished my song, went to the second stage and all of my customers came with me. She was angry. She didn't finish her set.
The manager asked her to leave. She didn't dance, but she kept going outside and coming in, talking crap about me. Then she called a huge, fat girlfriend of hers to back her up.
The manager spoke to me and reassured me that I would be escorted to my car when I left work and that they would rather have me there than her.
I was really afraid. I am getting married in less than two weeks with my Dad walking me down the aisle. The last thing I need is for my face to be fucked up or my hair pulled out!!
I had guys,my customers surrounding me, to protect me. I can't reason with her. I was really upset because she is a mature mother of four and I can imagine how she treats her kids
I have never, ever had to put up w/ this kind of behavior before from a dancer.
I am considering just taking a sabbatical until my wedding is over and going back to work in June. I will talk to the owner about it. If he fires me, I can't help that.
It is just that I do like the place and I get along w/ almost everyone.
My big question is: How do I handle working there if they don't fire her? I finally find a place that is comfortable and this is what happens
What would you girls do?
I really felt sad for women kind after this incident. This happens after I find out that a beautiful man friend of mine has a rare form of leukemia that can only be cured with the right bone marrow donor! I was saddened and angry about her pettiness!!
Really confused and not wanting to be a cynic,
Corey :-/
