    Default Needing some support...

    Hey all
    Something has beon on my mind, and I am wondering if you all have any advice.
    A couple years ago, I told my parents I was working at the lusty lady in Seattle. They FLIPPED the fuck out. It was 100 times worst than what I pictured. Guilt trips and shame sessions galore. It got so under my skin that I ended up quitting for them. I have regretted it ever since. By my standards, that was the only decent place to dance in seattle. And they won't hire back anyone who quits, ever.
    I loved, loved, loved dancing. It has been two years, and I still can't get over it. I tried the Deja Vu, and lasted a week, it was so ridiculous. There is no place for me in seattle. I can't move to San Fransisco and work at that Lusty Lady because I am committed to school and a relationship firmly planted here.
    My question is, What can I do? I feel like I can't concentrate, I want to dance so bad. Driving to portland won't work because of my schedule and crappy car.
    Do I need to just let go and accept my low paying shit job as a barista?
    I feel totally stuck.
    Any advice much appreciated. Thanks ladies,
    love,
    Heidi

    I'm not from Seattle so I don't know how the clubs are but make sure everyone is okay with it in your life so you don't go through that again

    Have them read "Bare: The Naked Truth About Stripping." It's mostly about the author's experiences at the Lusty Lady in Seattle. She put herself through school, earned a Master's degree, and is now a college professor.

    I'm asuming that you haven't tried going back to that club in person recently. If that is the case, I would dress up in my hottest outfit, makeup, hair, shoes, to a T. Go into the club when customers are going in, and make sure you flirt with them so they'll ask about you. Tell the person at the front desk your their to audition, if your super hot they'll audition you w/out checking to much into you. Once you get every one hard for you, then let them figure it out, or spring it on em, you'd have to feel up the manager for that one.
    If that one doesn't work, write the owner. You know, do some digging at the auditors office, find out who owns the building, and call them up to find out who the actual club owner(sometimes their seporate, building and club owners)is. Either spring it to the owner in person, or write them a letter, with profesional bikini photo's, and explain it just like you did here, with the added emphasis on your older, and more mature now, and know what is important to you. Once you get the job, don't fuck up.
    Hell, in a last ditch effort, go around the parking lot when it's busy, and put flyers on the car windows, w/ a pic, your name, and the club managers number on it telling them you want to work, and to put in their vote of confidense. Make it of big importance to you, and others will see it that way as well.
    Rules are generally for the weak, the ugly, or the ass holes. Sad, but true. If you want something, GO GET IT.

    Thanks for the advice about the book, but I already tried that route. I had them read "The Lusty Lady" by Erika Langley; similar, a woman who started as a journalist/photographer and worked there, wrote a book...

    It was even worse because of the "negative" examples of women with harsh backgrounds. The details were too much for them to handle. I will read "Bare" and see if maybe it is a better option. At this point though, I never want to trust them with a secret again. The subject just feels taboo now... like everyone forgot about it. That's why if I wasn't married I would move to portland or san fransisco.

    You're going to hurt people along the course of your life! That's a fact. I know they are your parents, but do what you LOVE.

    Good luck,

    Susie, thanks, but I tried that too. I called in twice asking if they would hire me back, and after a year, I wrote a letter to the managers. I got no response to the letter. Also, this was a peep-show, not a club. It doesn't work the same way. The dancers are employees payed an hourly wage. If I showed up asking for my job back at this point, I'm sure they would tell me to go see a shrink, I've tried so many times already. It's a lost cause.
