    Default What a first night !!

    Hey y'alllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!

    Getting those jitters down were something else. We all started at around 8p.m. ,we were all introduced one by one and then we started working the floor. The 3 song dance sets were nerve wracking, and while working through the lap dances, I kept an eye on the other dancers on the floor, trying to copy moves. Last call is at 3:45 a.m., I tried to make it through that last hour, but my ankles were shaking bad, my balance was terrible. I wore the type of shoes with a square heel, but the mgr. said I should switch them out to a spike, the platform looked clunky with the heel I had. Do you guys have anything you drink to keep you going? (i.e. coffee, o.j....hell..redbull?) The cocktails customers purchase for you will dehydrate.

    My muscles hurt, but I had my second job to start within 2 hours of coming home. I kept moving, and my body pains dissipated, but OH THOSE BLISTERS!!! Band -Aid blister patches are the best thing ever invented.

    Damn but the legs do tone up AND FAST. It was awesome. I walked out of there with the biggest ardenalin rush of my life, and the silliest grin my face!

    Thanks for your support guys!!!!!!!!!! I felt more prepared with at least some knowledge going into the situation. , and I have to say this board is filled with wonderful dancers, and you guys made me go through with everything!

    Jax, I could not have done it without ya! Thank you SO MUCH for being there for me. Guys this gal helped me work up my nerve, and got me out on that dance floor! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!She taught me to have faith in myself, and no matter how frightening it seems JUST DO IT.

    -love and hugs,
    Lara

    p.s. I have never slept so well in my life!!! [zzz]

    Congrats on your first night Your body will get used to the "abuse", it's just a matter of time and adjustment

    I'm a coffee drinker-but I try not to over-do it (if I do, I tend to get the caffeine jitters) I may have maybe two/three cups max all night, the rest of the night water.

    Again, congrats and have fun!

    Lara-
    You're so welcome - I'm glad that your first night worked out well, and yes - you'll notice a world of difference in your legs only after a few weeks!

    As for staying up, if I need a boost, I love Redbull - I just bought a few sugar-free Redbulls, though I don't know how they taste yet - I hate sugar-free products - but I think that I can deal with it rather than taking in almost 40 grams of sugar!!

    If I just need hydration, I like cranberry & seltzer.... Unfortunately - I'm not a big water drinker. (i'm working on that)

    I also wanted to mention - stretching well before your shift helps with the muscles and balance - Take a good 20 minutes and stretch all of your leg muscle groups !

    rock on, lara!

    Lara, it sounds like you're off to a "flying" start. Dolls is an absolutely great club too. Don't sweat the muscle aches and blisters - your body will adapt within a couple of weeks. Keep some energy bars handy at the club, and be sure to watch Jax's back the same way she's watching yours!
