    Comraderie

    Was very curious as to how you girls get along with your co-workers. I know it can be a very cut-throat business.

    I do not speak to other dancers unless spoken to. I prefer it this way.

    I really couldn't tell you the names of any of the dancers at my clubs, nor could I ever recognize them on the street.

    The clubs in Miami, Well....A lot of the women are extremely catty, bitchy, greedy, and will do *anything* to make more than you, or ruin your day.

    I stay to myself. I make my money, and go home.

    during season, i couldn't tell you anyones name....since it is offseason now, it is mostly house girls. and it is like any other place with a bunch of girls. gossip and trouble. lol thankfully, there are a slight few (and in maybe two) girls that i would consider friends.

    I know the name of one dancer and that's because I'm the one who convinced her to start dancing! The rest....hmmm. I know a few and we'll say hello but I keep to myself. I don't really talk to them unless they talk to me first.

    I know and am friendly with almost all of the girls at my club. There are some I try to avoid because I dislike them or they scare me (I am easily intimidated) but other than that everything is fine. I do see other girls get into catfights though.

    I'm amazed by how well the girls at our club get along. Not to say everyone loves everyone but i've never run into the catfights or intentional destruction of clothing, etc, that i've heard/read about in other clubs.

    For the most part everyone at my club gets along. Of course there are others that I like better.

    I just left the club I was at for a year and a half due to one of the girls causing problems like lying to management and stuff. She and her roomie are drama queens and I am getting too old for that shit. As for my new club, which is owned by the same company, it is smaller and everyone gets along...

    I work at 2 different bars..at one everyone is nice and most of us are friends outside of work(I know..very unusual) and the other one I work at there are a lot more girls and I am friendly with most of the day girls and @ 1/4 of the night girls. There is a lot of gossip in the 2nd club but I try to stay out of all that..

    I get along with most of the girls at my club, but I'm not close friends with any of them outside of work. I have occasionally gone out to breakfast or lunch with a couple of them, but that's about it. There are a couple of girls who love to talk shit about everyone, but there's rarely any major wars in the dressing room. The management where I work won't put up with girls who steal or cause trouble, which I like.

    I pretty much always get along with everyone, but Australia is a very friendly place to beging with. I'm aware that there are some girls who are really friendly to my face, but are really bitches. It's not really a problem though. I have a few co-workers who I sometimes hang out with outside of work.

    I go as far as using the back dressing room with no heat or the boss's office to get dressed just to stay away from the bitches.

    Its funny, i probally couldn't tell you the name of any of the girls at my club either. Every once in a while i hear them call my name, and im like "who, what..how did you know that." lol

    It's pretty cut throat in tampa. I stick to talking to customers.

    I've noticed at the club I go to,in Dallas Pike,WVa,that there are a FEW girls that seem to be friends.Most of them act as if they've never seen one another before

    Most clubs I have worked at are pretty catty. I didn't notice it at first, until you spend a little more time at a club. (until then I just assumed everybody liked me. Apparently not so. I don't get it - I think I'm so cool). I wish I could say I always stay out of it. I always INTEND to stay out of it. The girls that get along the best are the ones that make the most money and the ones that make adequate money. And they tend to look down on the girls who don't, and the girls that don't tend to really hate their guts. The really bright ones actually stay out of it - there's usually only one in any club who's really that bright. Next club - I'll be that bright. It's not really worse though, than the "workpolitics" of any other place - offices, normal bars or whatever.

    Some of the girls I get along with great... Especially one who has become quite dear to me. But other dancers you know there is something behind their quant hellos. It's just an aura of cpmpetitive bitchiness.... lol

    It was hard trying to remember the hosts & bouncers' names, so I wouldn't even remember a dancer's...lol. So no, I couldn't name the dancers in the club, I wouldn't remember it. Plus I kept pretty much to myself. The girls are very sweet though, I didn't see any cattiness. My first night one of the dancers wanted to help me out with my moves when we had free time(bc she knew I had never stripped in my life before), that was very nice of her. That was awesome.

    I do my make-up and hair before I go to work, so I won't have to spend time in the dressing room. It's not that the girls are awful, it just seems simpler not to get involved. Quite a few girls at my club fit the coked-up stripper stereotype. I think being friends with them would be more trouble than its worth.

    Nope. I never make friends with other dancers, ever. Now while i am no longer at the club dancing i will be a friend, it's different. But dancing with them, no. I will not put up with the bs that goes around because you make a friend and shit starts, and it does. I have seen a friendship go from "can i use you're dress tonite" to flat out getting thrown out of the club. I would always say hi, and bye. A newbie asked a question fine, i answer what i may know and go about my business. When you have danced in a club for years you get alot of newbies who want to "cling" to you. I don't like that. Also i really don't care what other dancers have and do say about me. Screw them.

    Check it out. When you know longer work with them, they are so friggin nice. Work with them and they talk shit. Gotta love it!!!! PS i am not well liked in the clubs by some dancers, and i don't give a RATS ASS.
