    Default I hate when my DJ....

    uses alliteration when announcing me! EX: "Here's the AWESOME Angel!" or "Marvelous Madeline!" Just wanted to vent. Anyone else have something along these lines they need to get out??



    Disclaimer: Yes, I have informed my DJs of my discontent over this issue; I think they forget. No, I don't have it out for my DJs--any of them. I LOVE them and we have a mutual respect and trust and a great working relationship.

    I used to have two DJs that would use foul language when describing the dancers and explain what they would like to certain parts of our body... I'm sure they meant it in a complimentary way, because in a way they were compliments.. but, uggggggggghhhhhhhh..
    I was lucky I walked up to one and said if you speak about me like that again I WILL walk out. No dj wants a dancer to walk out because of what they were saying.
    The other DJ was a lost cause, I worked at a club where we were thrown money on stage (custy must be six feet away from us at all times of undress.)
    Well, I would climb pole and he would tell them to take aim (NOT FUNNY), he actually thought he was making us money so this was okay.. But once one too many dancers got hit in the face by a dollar wrapped around some change (yes, this happened.) he was on the shit list.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    I hate when my DJ is spacing out somewhere on cloud 9 and forgets about me on stage and never once tries to promote me but when the next girl goes up he comes back to earth and won't shut up about her.



    I hate it when my DJ is not paying attention to when my song is over and it starts playing over into the next tune because he is fk'ng off.



    These have not happened in a very long time but when they do, it gets my blood boiling.

    I like our DJ's, they're a fun bunch. Every once and awhile i'll have them announce me as the "occasionally narcoleptic Kylie" or the "ever apathetic Kylie". The guys never notice but it cracks up everyone else.

    LOL my DJ's do that too, or they'll refer to me and the other girl I'm onstage with as a pair like we work together or something. It's never really gotten to me though, I don't really care as long as it's not anything bad.

    My DJ's like to play a CD and walk away from the booth all the time. So girls are ALWAYS left on stage after their set, and you'll see the DJ running to the booth when the manager or another girl tells them. Don't you think we shouldn't have to tip them out as much? I mean my DJ will get $20 from me at the end of the night, that's a lot for someone who can't even pay the music I want.

    Which brings up another point. My DJ on most nights will make more than me. Say there are 20 girls and every girl pays him $20 at the end of the night he has $400. I just don't think it works out right, for a guy who doesn't playthe right music, and is almost never in the DJ booth. On top of this he tries to rip girls off by making them pay more for house claiming they came in late or they wern't signed up to work.

    Most Dj's in this area have to speak every 3 mins.
    They have to either bring a girl up and one down,or put one on standbye.
    Then add to that, promos for the club.

    Sometimes after 10 hours of this,non stop,and without a break,they run outta things to say.

    Im not even going to touch the dj pay comment.
    These guys,if they are good,deserve every dime you pay them.
    If they are not your GREATEST ASSET in the club,you should tip them accordingly.

    Last weekend the DJ kept forgetting to shorten the songs later in the evening. After 2am the place is PACKED and girls are tired and going home. Non-stop business for me....but when he continues to turn the music back over and over for one customer onstage OR not cutting a 6 min song, I start to get really pissed.....

    I still pay them a lot of money, minumum $20. They are good guys, I just wish I could ask them to shorten the songs late night so we can all make more money by getting in more dances.....

    My fave DJ's refer to me as "Our Premier Lady Anna" or "From Russia with love its Katrine"....those are nice, but the customers aren't listening anyway......

    I have one that I do love the DJs to use: Vivacious Vanessa [and if I happen to have to use my back-up name of Lucy... I don't mind Lucious Lucy.. ]

    Why? Well... the main DJ at the crappy club that used to exist where my current home club existed would annouce me as Voluptous Vanessa. No.. I'm a petite girl.. I'm not big up top, nor down below... I'm not voluptous in any way shape nor form... so I made it a point one day/night to hit the dictionary. I went thru all the V words in the dictionary to finally find my little gem: Vivacious.

    It suits me to a tee! Whenever he remembers, he says it. I know the patrons aren't listening (sometimes it is even hard for me to hear what he's saying over the music)... yet it bring a smile to my face when he says it due to the history behind it.

    I don't really have anything that urks me about DJs. Well.. not the ones at my home club.. the two main ones I work with consistently know me well enough now (I have a decent working relationship with them) that they will play one or two of my favourite type of songs during my set. As for what they are saying... as long as they aren't vulgar (which none of them are) and announce me... I'm kewl

    Then again... all the DJs at any and all the strip clubs within Australia (as far as I'm aware) are paid by the club and never tipped by the dancers. I even remember an incident of one dancer wanting to tip a DJ one time (in thanks)... and he out-rightly refused the tip. Maybe it was policy so that he could show the other dancers he wasn't playing favourites. ????

    When I get skipped in stage rotation!

    I make an effort to remember where I'm at and have even turned down a LD since I can't skip my rotation and the Dj will space and go to the next girls! UGHHHH!!!!!!!!!

    Other than that I love my DJ's!

    How did he say it? This doesn't sound bad to me, a lot of guys like tall, long-legged women!

    But then some dancers don't like to be talked up much, and prefer to just be announced with some style, and the music played--which is fine.

    I have a tendency to talk them up as much as they like, the more the better, as it generally makes them feel good about themselves, which means they will dance a lot better. I actually talk to the dancers as much as I do to the crowd, and it has always worked very well.

    They always listen to me, but then I have a pretty powerful voice, and I avoid that nasal jabbering style that so many lame SC DJs use. There has only been one club I sometimes had trouble at, but it was a serious biker bar--which was fine, they listened--but it was often filled with white trash, with whom I could never really connect.

    They also had a lot of unattractive women dancing there, and what am I going to say about them that I actually believe myself? That has always been the key to my success--the power of conviction works very well.

    There you go, you did what so very few DJs are capable of, used a dictionary, lol. It is amazing to me how we are hired for our verbal skills, but so few of us actually have a vocabulary, or know how to use it effectively.

    It's cool that you actually want to dance--so many dancers would prefer to be skipped. I have always felt that it's because they aren't getting the right music, but sometimes you get tired, I know.

    I always let the ones in VIP stay in there when it's their turn, and put them up later when they come out, even if it's against the rules (if they are cool). But this can lead to confusion, and I have had dancers come running up to the booth screaming that I skipped them, because they were used to dancing before a girl that has just come out of an hour-long VIP, lol.

    I hate it when I am getting dressed after a VIP and hear my name being called to the stage.. It is HOT in the VIP room and not HOT to be sweaty when I go on stage.. I would rather be skipped than look yucky when I go up... I have an image to protect after all, hee hee .....
    Our DJs are pretty good about understanding that and actually will phone the bouncer to ask if I want to be skipped or not... We have some pretty great ones that try their hardest to get to know EVERY dancer, the ones that don't put an effort in really never seem to stay because the dancers don't know what tosay or how to act with them because they don't seem to py attention.
    I LOVE one of my old DJs that actually made me feel guilty about telling him off, after that he was AWESOME and will be missed until he comes back *hopefully*????

    One of the DJs at my club will go onnnnnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnnn. He even cuts into the middle of a stage set song and starts blasting the customers away with lines like " We really need to thank Tiffany for NOT working at fucking Bank of America".....etc. When most guys aren't tipping, he also puts them on blast for that as well!!! It would be okay if he did this sparingly, but he does it with EVERY girl, on every set. Swearing and all. lol

    Most of the DJ's I've worked with have been great or at least decent. The only things that DJ's have done that annoyed me were talking too much, playing the music too loud (it sucks having to yell over the music to talk to a customer), or hitting on all of the dancers.

    My Dj's walk away from the booth, cuss the custys out for not tipping, have dead air, play break songs that kill the energy in the club, and speak intelligibly. They will play several break songs even when there are lots of customers. I think it would help if our managment stepped up and gave them some direction!

    Oy. When one of our DJs wasn't even on shift he decided to run up into the DJ booth, CRANK the music up because it was AC/DC until there was feedback every chorus, and leave. He was drunk as snot. The DJ that was actually on shift was very irritated by it.

    He also decided, randomly, to have country western music for an hour - okee, doesn't really fit with my black vinyl ballgown but whatever, I'll be naked in another song anyway. So we have 8 girls dance to country western music with no regard to her prior tastes or ensemble. The crowd didn't really care either. Then the sole black girl on shift is the only one to appropriately dress, goes on stage in daisy dukes and sexy cut-off white t-shirt - he switches to hip-hop just for her. She wasn't thrilled.
    ^ and yeah, people have complained about these things. We have a mandatory flat-rate tips for DJs.

    Previous DJ I worked with ignored the entire genre of music I liked because a girl who started AFTER I did liked it too [and who, apparently, didn't tip as well], and said a different style fit me better - which I disliked, because it was that whiney female pop that absolutely NONE of our customers liked either. He just annoyed me all together for being whiney, though.

    This was only occasional, but when we'd get busy and the DJ would ignore the idea of the rotation and just pick whoever he saw to go on stage. Quite a few times in the last hour or two you'd see the same dancer do three rotations and a few do none.

    The other DJs I've worked with haven't been either spectacular or horrible, they generally play music that is at least vaguely in genre I like [rock, preferably hard, made between 1970 and current, is that being too picky?] and don't mess up too badly - ie, playing CDs that skip and just letting them skip, leaving the booth, etc.

    SO we have this one dj that i love lots, but he'll play these ridiculous sounds during the song, like, "OH MY GOD YOU KILLED KENNY... YOU BASTARD!" (south park) or looney toons noises, that were clearly downloaded off the net in his spare time... and it's just not what i'd call sexy... maybe im wrong, but hearing elmer fudd doing a doubletake in the middle of my set is not what gets me goin... does it get any of you off
