Okay, this is a rather belated and combined update, but...
Part I:
The Wednesday before last I got a job as a dancer. The "audition" went fine; all the manager did was barely even look at me in my heels and t-back. The first night I got dances from two guys, didn't go onstage, and made about $250. Second night was about the same; got a lot of tips onstage, mainly because the dj made a big deal over me being a complete virgin, it being my first time on any stage ever, etc. The first two nights were busy because it was either an anniversary celebration or Monday Night Football. The next Wednesday, however... was dead, as in, no point in being there. I was having doubts about stripping in general, and left early. The manager told me, as a last ditch effort to keep me, to come back on Friday, because Friday's were always packed. I did, and once again... dead. I did not stay the whole shift. Granted, they said people don't really start coming in until 11:30, but... come on! My question: is it just this club, or all clubs that don't get started until that late? I mean, if I have to come in at 7, that's 4 1/2 hours of sitting on my ass, just waiting for that one magic hour when everyone's supposed to be there.
Part II:
I quit that last Friday. One, I didn't like the lying to the guy I'm dating or my parents. But even more so, I hated "the walk." You know: the walk around the club, to see if anyone looks free for a dance. I don't know if it was just this club, but it was small enough that a circle around took less than 60 seconds. And when it's not busy, and any available table doesn't want a dance... You've basically got nothing to do. Granted, lots of girls sit at the bar (but I don't drink) or go to the dressing room and talk (I was too new to have any friends there). Don't get me wrong, I love stripping-- the clothes (my god, the clothes!), the dancing, being sexy... I have no problem with that. Or the lap dances, or even really talking to the guys. The biggest reason I quit was because of that walk I mentioned above; it seemed that after spending 1 minute looking for prospects, you had nothing to do for the next however-the-f*ck-long.
So this all boils down to... do you think it was just the wrong club for me? Should I go back as a waitress instead? (Something I'm seriously considering) Any advice or comments?
