    Angry Stereotypes & Rumors! Ack! (warning- long rant)

    Well, the club I use to work at and am planning on going back to soon has a lot of nasty rumors about it. I think this is due to the general closed mindedness and snobbiness of the small city I am from. Yes, the club use to have a lot of dirty girls and some that were below 6's on the looks chart. But since they've gotten new management there is no drugs, extras or not-so-pretty girls anymore, and it's been like that for awhile now..... But yet the rumors remain. And of course there are rumors about dancers being drug addicts and prosititutes. Grrrrrrrr . One guy I work with (at my "normal" job I have) talked about my club with another guy..... He just randomly brought it up that if u wanted to see some crack whores to go there. He also brought it up again to the cab driver that took us home and then I said not to stereotype them all like that and that I had friends that worked there. Well even tho he has never been there in his entire life was dead-set on them all being prositutes. After a long amount of debating he appologized to me but NOT for being a stereotyping judging bastard but only for offending me!

    Also awhile ago I got a cab driver that was driving me and a bunch of co-workers home and once I got out of the cab he told them all that I use to be a stripper. Apparently he said a lot of nasty things about my club and dancers in general. My co-workers called in and complained about it later and I told them he was a lying creep which they believed. Well, I got him again just recently and he asked me how my job was going and I was like "good" and he said "oh, it must be easy" I said "excuse me" because I actually didn't think I heard him correctly and he wouldn't reply. WHAT A JACKASS STEROTYPING DINK! I no longer get that cab company. But seriously, my "normal" desk job is a ton of a lot harder than being a fat, creepy, old cabbie and pays a lot f*cking more too!!!

    So all in all I am pissssssssed! And it's really hard not to be ashamed of being a dancer in this crappy crappy city due to some of the people here. Do any of you ever feel scard to tell people that u dance or about rumors about your clubs, friends that work there and yourself? Do you ever feel ashamed?

    just think, if/when this club is busted, that cabdriver could be in the jury box !

    its hard for clubs with bad reps to shake it later when they do clean up.

    you shoudnt care what the general public thinks of your clubs rep, care more about what the customers think.they are the ones you need to impress, and if you do, theyll tell all their other mates,who will come in, see the positive change and tell thei mates and so on.

    either that, or change clubs,till this one gets a better rep

    "If/when this club is busted" It's not going to be busted for anything! It's a clean club as far as I know..... Maybe it wasn't under old mangment almost a year ago. But as far as I knew the farther it went for extras was touching (it is a no-touch club) but I may have been niave.

    Ack! If my fellow stripper webbers think this about a club that they've never even been to no wonder some people here think that!

    If I catch Melonie's drift, she was just saying the cabbie would make a lousy juror because he's so biased. I think the underlying point is that whether a club is busted or not is largely a function of how much political crusading is going on at any given time, not whether the club is actually clean or dirty. If city officials wanted to find a violation at the most legally compliant SC in the universe because of pressure from a puritannical jihadist group, I'm sure they could make one materialize. Hopefully the city leaders in this case are progressive enough to view this change as the improvement it is, instead of being influenced by any misconceptions being circulated.

    Regardless of all that, I'm sorry all this sh#% is flying around for you. F 'em. Mermaidnz's right; the most you can do is prove to your customers that it's a great party within the rules, and hope for positive word of mouth as a result .. um.. I guess "viral marketing" is the current term.

    Most of us seem to be playing the I've Got a Secret game with what we do. If the people who I do freelance website work for knew about my dancing, I suspect my assignments would mysteriously dry up. I usually avoid the subject altogether, but sometimes I resort to "generality speak" to try to counter a blatant misconception. Besides, be careful for what you wish for. If you're trying to fly under the radar, you don't really want your co-workers so convinced that it's harmless fantasy that they happen to show up in the club while you're working.
