    Default I lost my Hustle - My SAD Story

    OK - I was a dancer about 2 years ago and did pretty well for a flat chested average looking girl... I always said that if I had breasts I would do better... so I thought! Anywho.. I got into the internet biz, grew up, grew breasts and the other day decided to do amateur nite at the local club. (The one I always wanted to work at but never got hired!) I did amateur, won 1st and got hired.

    Here is how clubs in Sacramento differ from anywhere else in Im sure the US. This particular club dances are topless for $15/one song on the benches around the club. In VIP/Platinum rooms they need a wristband that costs $5 for the nite and dances are $20/song minimum 2. Topless but as long as were 18" away we can be bottomless. No touching AT ALL strictly inforced. NO ALCOHOL... its a juicebar.... lame huh? Anyway... the first nite

    Wednesday nite was $10 dance nite. All dances $10 or 2/$20 in VIP with wristband. I went home with a few hundred. I told myself if it was a regular nite I would have had twice that which is good for a first time back in 2 years.

    So - I go back on Friday nite and work the 6p-12mid shift. Its DEAD. maybe half a dozen customers at a time but girls are still getting dances. Im asking but getting nowhere... then 2 minutes later someone else asks and he goes with them. After about 2 hours of this I was upset and just stopped asking for a while. Arounf 930 I sucked it up, put on a smile and started asking again. I was watching the girls but still getting nowhere. Last straw was when I sat with a guy for a few songs, flirting, talking, touching thigh, arm, etc... finally ask for a dance, get a NO and a minute later a girl asks for a dance and theyre in VIP for like 6 songs. So, I go to the manager, say I want to go home and he says hes been watching me and I need a hustle. OK - why is it so easy to remember how to dance but not how to hustle? I felt like shit, self esteem hit the floor. I dont need the money - I still work for internet companies and have a website but my feelings got so hurt that nite.

    Some of the things that I thought about on the hour drive home were that I have no new stripper clothes. I only kept a few outfits from before and dont like any of them so that kinda started the nite off crappy... I was having a bad hair day and had a cold. Maybe these things were killing my hustle but I dont know...

    Thanks for listening to me vent.... Im going to go back Tuesday nite and try again but with new clothes and good hair this time!

    I can't help your hustle but you're a sexy hottie! :

    If you get a chance, the link to your bondage/SM gallery doesn't work. The other gallery works quite well though. Hmm, maybe you can wear some of those outfits at work?

    >>"I have no new stripper clothes..... kinda started the nite off crappy...
    >>I was having a bad hair day and had a cold. Maybe these things were killing my hustle.."

    All of the above... and probably a few more things unlisted... Funny thing is, it wasnt the above items that caused your bad night, it was instead your reaction to them.

    Audry- if you had a hunchback, missing one arm, shaved your head totally bald, and had a tattoo across your chest that said "I AM A MAN", wearing painters pants and F.M. Birkenstocks, you'd still be a heavy hitter for lapdances. Especially in Sac. If you can keep all of that firmly in mind when in the club, you will do AWESOME.

    Off topic, I've been to Body Shop and GC in Sac (Jenna at GC... yowzies).. Both pretty okay clubs. Someone like you should CLEAN HOUSE in either of those places.. so go out there and knock those boys non-verbal.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.

    Yes, you are a babe!

    Maybe it was just one of those nights where you just couldn't get into the vibe. After a series of rejections, it's hard to put on that happy face. But just keep in mind that today is a new day and it could be one of those days where you have a "yes" every time.

    Also, remember, some of them may be regulars of girls alreday there.

    Everyone has those nights where they just want to hide in the dressing room and play house mom for the night. But then there are those nights when people are practically throwing money at you and for the life of me I can't figure out what I am doing right or wrong. It comes with the job. The most important thing...at least in my opinion.... is the abitlity to let everything people say slide off your back...both good and bad. Otherwise this job is just too damn much to bare. If you can't handle the rejection on the bad nights then you are just simply taking everything too personally. You are there to make the guys feel good not vice versa.

    Nice to see you joined your club’s message board, don’t forget to use that to market yourself. First, ask one of the GCC admins if you can get your own forum. One of them is on this board… coughshiftbuyercough… LOL. Once you get your own forum, make sure to post frequently and use that as a marketing/hustling tool. Talk to Gene and schedule a photo shoot asap, so he can get your pics on the club’s website. Then choose the “hottest” pic and use that as your avatar. You can easily increase your client base thru that board. Visit their chat room and get your name out there. It’ll be easier to approach and sell once they get familiarized with you. Good luck.

    Hmmm that seems strange that you would have any problems. Are you smiling and acting friendly? I think some guys get scared of girls that are too hot-they think that super hot chics can't possibly be nice or that they are expecting a guy to spend thousands on them. :o

    "Average looking"? I don't think so. I'll take you to the mall and show you average looking

    I also like the creative style I see on your website, and judging from you post, you seem to be a personable lady. If only a smidgen of that comes through in person, you should have no problem getting your hustle back shortly.

    I think you just had a bad night.

    If it makes you feel any better, I have had some of the same issues where I am at... I took a 10 year hiatus though... so I've learned to just tell myself that I have to re-learn some things, and hustling is one of them.. however, after working a couple of months, I have started picking up a bit, and have started making more money. I think that when you have been "out of the loop" you forget a few things, I know that I have forgotten but, just tell yourself to take it day by day.. AND, if you have other sources of income (I do as well), then you can give yourself a time frame (one month, three weeks, or whatever) to get yourself back into the groove. I gave myself a month in the beginning just because I had been out of sync so long, I had to literally re learn more than just hustling, moves, pole tricks everything! I'm still not 100% and I had forgotten about how much bruising can occur in the first few weeks when getting back up on the pole and being down on a cold hard stage! Hang in there sweetie, you'll find your groove again.. its like riding a bike, only sometimes you need to put the training wheels back on for a few moments!

    You look amazing! I loved more of your artsy type pics. Especially the one with the butterfly and the rose between your legs. I loved it. We all have our nights to where were like "what the hell is wrong with me?" It's just luck alot of times too. Plus I beleive people can sense that your sick and not feeling good. Every time I feel like that I make crap money even if I'm the hottest girl in the club that night. We all have those nights sweetie.. I hope you feel better

    You are obviously dancing for fun, so why not have some already!!!

    Are you smiling and winking a lot? Telling guys you are new? Start acting like you own that club and let those boys have it!! Maybe try a wild or exotic new look.

    You are so hot!! Maybe you have gotten too comfortable with your sexuality and are to laid back on the job. Read up a bunch on stripper web and start flirting with guys in public and get your mojo back. Get searching for outfits. Maybe try a school girl and really work it.

    It took me a few months to get my hustle back too. The first few months. I noticed that things got better as I took better notes and studied more. Just like any other profession you can either go to the club put in your 8 hours and just work, or you can treat it like a career that you want to move up in, study, practise, network (stripperweb is great for that!), and perfect your skills.

    I work 24-32 hours a week dancing, and I spend another 8-16 hours per week studying sales, psychology, sex, dance and the history of women n the sex industry. Of course I'd like to believe that the customers are just overwhelmed by my beauty charma nd dancing skills, but there is really a lot more to it than that.

    Use that beautiful body to your advantage girl....you'll get your hustle back, just believe in yourself.

    Ah I lost my hustle too! I usually work 4 nights a week and make about 2000$ a week but the past two weeks I am lucky to have 200$ a week. I am just miserable at work and then I want to take myself shopping(what I usually do when I am depressed) to cheer up but I don't have the cash to do it cuz I lost my hustle. I work tomorrow night and I don't care how slow or how many girls work, I am determined to make it a good night. No moping around, wandering aimlessly through the crowd tomorrow, I swear!

    I know that it wasn't a matter of me loosing my hustle this past Friday shift.. it was just a case of I had the wrong colour hair. Yup.. all the blondes in my club made the $$ and most of the brunettes were left behind.

    Just "wipe the slate clean" and move on. You never know which shift each week will be your winning shift (hopefully all of them). If you have a bad week... see next week as a new week.

    If you aren't doing so well asking for dances, try to make a favourable impression with the customer so then he will come back and purchase a dance from you next time or else one of his mates will.. this has worked for me.

    Ah my hustle came back to me this sunday. haha Thank god.
    I understand the whole blonde-brunette thing. I usually do well as a brunette but my club has just hired five new brunettes who look a bit similar to me. I didn't think it would matter but it definately hurt my money. So, I went out and streaked my hair bright red, bright blonde, and light brown and I went tanning a few days in a row. So now there are blondes brunettes red heads and my striped head. Sometimes a change can help.

    I don't have trouble hustling when I'm there, it's getting myself to work so I CAN hustle that can be the hard part. It's just so tempting to stay home sometimes....sigh....

    First of all you are a HOTTIE . And from your post i gather that you are also intelligent and nice. You should be making more than you are and maybe lots more. First off sit with the guy for 5 mins at least and talk to him before asking for a dance. Less or more depending on how many patrons there are. But on the flip side you dont want to sit there all night with the same costumer for free with out making the sale. Then they wont respect the fact that your time is your money. I have more but am a little high so i will post again
