    Default I hate July :(

    Well does July suck everywhere? I'm so frusterated right now. I went from doing my 20 dances per night and not having to pay house fees to barely squeeking out 5-6 over night it seems. I have bills to pay.

    Maybe it's just my conscience saying get out, I don't usually mind when a guy passes on me, but last night the club was hopping and no one wanted me and when I couldn't get one dance in my first 2.5 hours I wanted to go to the dressing room and cry.

    Anyone know of any clubs in Michigan (or surrounding states) where I can average even just 300 a night again

    I always did great in the summers, horrible in the winters. But I guess every person and every location is different.

    Trust me, it's not you. I haven't made over $200 a night in the last 2 weeks. Everyone is bitching at work about it too, so it's not just me and you. This week it should pick up cuz everyone is done traveling from the 4th.

    I'm doing my part!!!

    Junkies ASSSSEEEEEEEMMMMBLEEEE!

    Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday I tapped out a min of $200.00/night in dances alone!

    Last night rocked my world tho :/



    I never would expect the summer to be slow <still TOTALLY new to this> But Tuesday when I went to a club in the area, there where 4 girls and all had empty garters so I made sure I pole-tipped $5.00 to them all for each song cause it was DEAD.

    Oh well, learning something new!

    Everybody's right so far. If I didn't have a back up job to fall back on. I be hurting right now.
    Could go out and travel like I used to, but after having a baby, and health problems, I dont think I could do it like I used to. Man, this summer sucks. Been the worst so far. But I make it big some nights. But most of the time, its nada, nothing. Zit, worse than zit.

    Maybe you should be traveling!
    I always do best in Summer Retreats during July.

    Find out where everyone goes for vacation and follow the herd!

    Yes, it's only July. It isn't even HOT yet.

    God knows I've been doing my part this summer, but I've noticed that the club I usually go to has been slow, and on Friday a dancer was bitching to me about there frequently being more dancers than customers.

    I've done pretty well recently with the exception of an awful week in Central Montana.The big city clubs with a lot of girls are hard to make money in now, for the most part. You have a lot of girls out of school working, and the customer count is lower in major markets because there are many other attractions to occupy their time.

    It's not necessarily the tourists that create more business, because many of them have wives and or kids with them.

    SOME of the smaller towns don't have as many dancers, and the guys don't have as much to do in them, so more small town guys may hit the clubs.

    You can have a lesser head count in a club and do ok as long as the dancer count is low.

    I totally agree, here in Adelaide we are dead for all of june and july, the girls get bitchier becuase no-one is making any money and when a girl does get a dance, then she is hated...definetly hate June/july, majorly sucks for strippers.

    I'll be trying to help the dancers at my fav club in Vegas the last weekend of this month. Maybe, I can help a couple of dancers turn it into an "ok" month instead of a lousy month.

    Stop in Chicago, visit me, too!

    In my esperience, ther are only 5 kinds of peopel in summer time:

    1. People gone on vacation
    2. People paying bills from vacation
    3. People working overtime to cover for all the people on vacation
    4. People too broke to go on vacation in the first place (and coming to bars and clubs)
    5. People who jsut have lives and enjoy being outdoors in the summertime. They are all at the beer gardens.

    Cheer up! September is coming soon!

    True! The light at the end of the tunnel is not near. Don't forget the first week of September too. Then things get okay.

    I keep telling myself that I will take August off, but I can never do it. The way I figure is that if you can pay all your bills and still have some left over for a little splurge in summer, then you are doing alright.
