    Default brand spankin' new

    i just danced an 8-hr shift for the first time on Thursday and let me tell ya, it was nothing like anything I've ever done. Let me give you a rundown of what I'm experiencing, if you're interested.

    I'm working at a DeJaVu, and it happens to be run by a gentleman who was in one of my all-time favorite bands, so I get a little personal pleasure out of dancing when he's there. I knew at my audition that he looked familiar . The place is totally clean, no hankypanky allowed, and the DJs and other employees made me feel totally comfortable. Being a Thursday day shift it was quite slow but I banked on one customer who bought eight VIP dances from me (5 in a row, then I stage danced, then another 3) and then another customer who bought a fantasy booth, where I dance behind a glass window. THAT was interesting lol. Overall the experience was enjoyable--now I know what stuff I need to always have during shifts, how the stage cycle goes, etc. I had so much fun, I was surprised, and with every dance, I got better and better.

    I decided to try that CLA (Tonalin, EAS) stuff everyone has been talking about. I took my first dose on Wednesday and the guy who bought 8 dances from me Thursday kept saying my skin was incredibly soft--I hadn't been doing anything different besides the CLA, but maybe the new razor had something to do with it... I'll keep you updated about how the CLA is working. I took "before" pics and will update with "after" pics once I see results.

    I'm also on Vitamin C 1000mg (for general immunity and to supplement an herbal breast enhancement pill I'll be starting soon) and a Prenatal vitamin I take once a day. To explain the prenatal vits, I have to introduce you to my ultimate purpose of dancing--I want to be able to buy a house by the time I graduate nursing school in three years and as soon as I have a house, my fiance and I are going to get married and start a family. I'm destined to be a mommy so I'm taking care of myself and making sure I act smart.

    I recorded all my dances and tips in a notebook. The manager on duty fudged my total number of dances (his error) so I took home more than I should have. He said to look at it as a one-time gift from him lol. I take that as a good sign. I kept the receipt he gave me for my house fees and put it along with my tallies in a special file folder.

    I set aside about half of what I earned (before expenses) to be put in a savings account with my federal tax return. Because I had a friend here that I had to entertain all week I forgot to put aside 30% for taxes and spent what I had left on gas and lunches. I'll make that up later.

    I downloaded a free trial finance management program called Timeless Time & Expense. It's not the best program to use but since I started keeping records on day one it'll be much easier for me to transfer the information to another program or to tax forms.

    I really loved everything I did in the club. Sadly my parents found out (they weren't supposed to know) because I mistakenly left my contract lying around my room; I had to make up a story or I'd be kicked out. Not ready for that just yet. I am making plans to stay with friends if need be. I feel like a star on that stage--and that's my name. Starr. It's easy to remember, I have stars tattooed on my arms and legs. I can't wait to go back.

    There's only one way to do that, and that is to just decide for yourself that you are going to do it because you want to do it. And then do it. You can try to play mind games with yourself, but that will only get you so far. Just decide this is something you want to do, and go for it.

    And, iareastar, congratulations on your first night. Good luck!

    Good for you honey! You sound like you have your head on straight. Don't get caught up in the partying and drugs of this business and you'll do great! I'm in the Detroit area right now ('til summer) so if you ever want to come around here PM me and I'll give you the lowdown about where to go and where to avoid. Good luck and make millions!!

    thanks honies!!! it just keeps getting better and better

    as far as finally getting up there, i prepared myself first, i got a manicure and tanned a little and tried out some outfits, i talked with the manager and he was really nice so i felt way comfortable... i feel more and more confident every time i work

    it's a crazy sort of empowerment you can't get anywhere else... i've been in drama and performing arts since i was 12 so i wasn't shy about performing, i was just worried that i would be boring lol but once you see all the other girls dance you start to make up your own moves

    Congratulations! Sounds like you've got a definite plan of action here, I was so disorganised when I started. I did have fun too though.
