    Default Needed break...

    I took a leave of absence from dancing yesterday. I have just not been able to make any money lately and I know it is just my attitude towards dancing.

    The past few weeks of dancing, I have been running into more and more fucking perverts. All of them licking my body after telling them not to and one guy grabbed me and tried sticking his tongue down my throat. I punched him in the solar plexus and then the floor guy came over and kicked him out. And, here I'm thinking "All of this for $20 measley dollars?". But, if I get really technical, it's all for about $12 after the tip-outs, etc.

    I like dancing, but I have just about reached my boiling point of dealing with customers who have no respect for my chosen profession and absolutely no clue as to the proper behavior in the club environment. I told management that I needed to take a break before I really punched the shit out of the next customer who did that. Of course, as I was walking out of the office and getting ready to leave, I felt like the biggest loser ever. I feel better, but at the same time, I feel worse. ARGH!

    Management was really cool and told me to call them when I was ready to come back and they would put me back on the roster. I think maybe I'll take the summer off (and bartend at one of the local clubs/bars that has a summer patio/tiki bar) and then maybe try dancing again in the fall (when traffic picks up).

    Well, just had to get that off my chest.

    Sorry to hear that Venus. Maybe a little break WILL be good for you. (Time to think, relax, and come back strong)
    I hate guys who are like that. Good luck, and kick some ass when you come back.

    yheah, Venus that's really bad, but I have had to take time off before too. My longest stretch off of dancing was around 2yrs. I got so upset about only making $500 a week working around 60-70 hrs a week that I said to hell with it and came back. But it just sounds like you need some time off. Good call doing it before you get really pissy and rant on a guy or another dancer though. Good Luck with the summer and don't worry, things will work out.

    That was probably a very smart move. I&#039;m concerned, however, that the increasing number of customers expecting to grab, lick and otherwise get "up close and personal" in exchange for their $20 is symptomatic of a fundamental change in the exotic dancing business and not just a random event.

    Its so awful to hear all of the things you have to go thru. (esp for 12 $) I am sure a little break will give you just what you need. Take time for YOU.

    I&#039;m glad to hear that you&#039;re taking care of yourself. Back when I was dancing I used to take about a week off every 6 weeks. I love dancing to, but this is what I found was best for my mental health at that time. I find it very upsetting that the exotic dancing business is changing in such a way that ones personal space can be violated, as in what you described, and how Melonie described.

    I am glad that you are taking a break because you need to. I know what you mean about walking out of the management office and feeling like you described. When I took a break, I felt like that too, but I also realized that how I was feeling wasn&#039;t healthy and that I was going to really hurt someone and then get my ass canned if I didn&#039;t take a break.

    Enjoy your time off, enjoy your children and take that rest.

    Aww Sweetie.. Sorry about the pervs.. I would&#039;ve probably done the same, if not more.. LOL

    I&#039;m glad you&#039;re taking some time off, it&#039;ll give you time to relax, and you&#039;ll be refreshed when you go back. I took some mini vacations myself when I danced, basically because I had to. Things just get to ya, and breaks are definitely good.

    Just relax and enjoy the summer with your family. It&#039;s great therapy.

    Its good to take a break! Im sure when you come back to the clubs you will feel renewed and youll have the right attitude. Ive noticed myself that my attitude has changed. Ive been dancing for 6 months at my club. Ive had mini breaks such as a week off here and there but Im starting to feel the need for one. RI might be a break and then Im going to Florida to relax for a few days. Treat yourself on your break! Go get a massage or something. Good luck to you Venus!

    I&#039;m amazed that there are guys who still do not know where to look for "extracurriculars" or take for granted that real strippers will do anything for a buck. Hope you get over this soon, Venus

    Well that is not the norm at vips. Must be the lack of conventioniers this time of year andthe regulars know it so they are taking advantage.Funny I was just thinking of making a trip up, think I will wait until the convention season starts.Venus the other night at work I was just thinking Iam sick of these weirdos cant wait to go to chicago so we ll go through the weirdo and pervert times.Seems like we get them all at once though and by the dozens.

    I can empathize with you except I have been feeling this way for way too long now. I dread going to work everyday. I&#039;m sick of the game. I&#039;m going back to school this fall and hanging up my platforms for good. Yup, the countdown has begun. Well, I hope things improve for you when you return.

    It&#039;s these lobotomized assmunches and the expectation of extras from said assmunches that are killing this industry.

    Two cents.

    Thanks, everyone!! I feel much better. Scorpio has been super supportive as well...which is nice.

    Michele...I think that the college guys that can only afford to part with a few $20&#039;s here and there are the main problems. Since school is out, we seem to have more of them than the business men who know what a dancer is there for. A lot of the girls at VIP&#039;s have been complaining more and more about the quality of the people coming into the club. The other night we had a "bachelor" party of 20 people come in and they bought (hold onto your chair) 2 dances in 4 hours. Wha??

    Melonie: I, too, am concerned with the "downhill" motion of the strip clubs. I enjoy dancing, but really, if I wanted to give blow jobs all night, I would take my stripper clothes and go stand on the corner of North and Kingsbury and pick up the sick drunks as they came out of the clubs. LOL

    I think taking the summer off will do me some good. I will try it again later and see how it goes.

    Well, have some errands to run and my daughter is sitting on my lap trying to help me type, so gotta run.

    Hope you all have a great time in Rhode Island!!! And, thanks again, everyone for the support. It&#039;s why I love you all so much!!
