    Sad (long)Uhhh... Bad first night?

    SO... We went to the Lodge, ready to try out. Something I have never anticipated EVER: they aren't hiring?! The house mom said she hired 8 girls last night and will probably be hiring again in two weeks. I called Eve and she came to the dressing area and was a sympathetic shoulder, telling us we should try out at some other places since we were all dressed to go.

    We stop at the Gentlemen's club and they call a manager out. I had already decided not to make up some fake stripping history, so we told him that we had done private parties. He told us that he didn't want to overwhelm us with the Sat night crowd and to come back tomorrow at 3.

    As we go out to the car, we see a sign for the Penthouse. We're at the point where anything sounds good, and as we drive up the Penthouse we are a bit more encouraged. We go in and ask to audition. The manager comes out, takes us to the dressing room, tells us to fill out a big old stack of papers and go start making money. Wow, that was easy, right?

    First half an hour goes pretty good. I sold two dances pretty might right away to a couple of nice gentlemen. Really classy guys. I was feeling ready to go for gold, since the $40 covered my fees for the night. I stopped by and badgered my friend since she was sitting in a chair looking dazed. After covering the room a few times I go upstairs to scope out the VIP level. Dead. Dead. dead...d..e..a..d...

    As I head downstairs, I notice my fiance has stopped by! I'm on my way to the table to sit down and clear my head for a minute when I hear "Hey baby, where you think you're goin?" Turn around, dazzling smile, flirt button on... They take me upstairs and try to buy me a drink. Well, I don't feel like drinking. He's a bit pissed at that. Then, he wants to buy a champagne room. Works for me! I don't know how that works at all at this point, mind you, but I know it's gonna make me money.

    Then I hear my name. "EDEN, DANCE, NEXT"

    I tell him the DJ called my name and I would be right back. He's not too impressed with that either. Honestly, at this point, I think he's an ass and I could give a care. So, I scamper to the stage, do my dances, promptly forget that I'm supposed to be rotating around to the little pole stages (no one notices) and scamper to the dressing room to ask the interum house mom (dad?) how the rooms work.

    "I would charge at least $300 an hour for you, and have it go up depending on what they want to do. Don't sell yourself short. You're doing great!"

    DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY WANT TO DO? OMG

    Scamper back upstairs.
    "Didya see me? Didya like it?"
    "Yea good, we go to the room now?"
    "ok! (start walking) So I charge $350 an hour for the room..."
    he stops "WHAT!?"
    "... $350 an hour"
    "What do I get for 350?"
    "I dance for you. I take my dress off. It stays off."
    "I get sex, right?"
    "No. I dance. Nothing more"
    "Oh come on, the other girls charge $150, and why should I even pay you if you won't do anything for me? (getting increasingly agitated)"
    "If you want me to get the girl that does it for that much, I can..."
    "No, I want you to go in there so we can fuck"
    "Well. I don't do that. Do you want a lap dance?"
    "Why should I even pay you at all? You're doing bad business"
    "If you change your mind sweety, wave me down, ok? (very forced smile and turn, and walk)"
    "I WON'T BE CHANGING MY MIND, YOU WON'T EVER GET ANY MONEY"

    I go downstairs after chatting with a few very drunk men. Throughout the night I had been stopping by a few choice men and giving them a few minutes of conversation that I hoped would eventually turn into a few dances as they became increasingly eager for my visits. Well, there had been these two men, who remind me of a mexican mafia. One was older and had this hoarse voice like a godfather. I had been flirting with him and he reached out and hooked me into his lap. The younger man that was with him said "you have sex, I take care of you"
    So I did my whole "I don't do that, I'm sorry, I can find you another girl.."
    "No, he like you. You go have sex"
    "I don't have..sex.. Do you want a dance?" (turning to the older man) "I'm sorry, I don't do that"
    Older man turns to younger man "I don't want sex! I don't want dance! I want to talk!"
    Younger man: "You like it! Go have sex"
    Me: "I don't do sex!!!"
    Older man: "Stop trying to buy me sex!!!"

    At this point I friggin run away from the whole VIP level, figuring it's where you hang out to get laid.

    I go downstairs to my fiance finally... I tell him the good and bad parts of the night (I did meet 3 nice men and had sold 3 dances, so that's good I guess) I found out my friend had left. The passed out girls in the dressing room, the fact that all the entertainers were high, and the men trying to force sex were too much. I was kinda getting sick of it too, but I wanted to try and be a big girl. I had my fiance go home for awhile and went back to browsing.

    It got to the point where I was tired, every man there was either watching the fight or being hustled by some other girl and heading off to do who knows what. I got to the point where I didn't want to try and sell dances, so I just picked random laps and talked until I decided it was worthless to stay and I should go home.

    I sat in the locker room and stared at a puddle of piss for 45 minutes while I waited for my fiance to get there.

    So... I made $25.

    I danced on the big stage. I did lap dances. I fought off men. I listened to life stories. I petted their egos. I am an actual stripper now.

    I am SOOO not going back to that club.


    I guess I wanna know if this is what it's like, point blank... Is this your average club? I have been going to the Lodge to look around, and I didn't see anywhere you could go to have sex. The men kept their hands to themselves. The girls just walked around and asked "want a dance?" and made $500+ a shift. Is that just what it looks like on the outside, and tonight I finally saw reality?

    You just need to grow a thicker skin. Sure, they would love to have sex... but YOUR job is to take as much money as you can without compromising your limits. There will be pervs, jerks, fucked up girls, and worse.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Whoa there....oh man what a craptastical 1st night.
    Either the club is known for sex activities or this is CS (customer shit) when they ask for sex. YOU WILL get asked for sex many times in your dancer days so get a good comeback for that one. Is $350/hr is what the clubs minimum VIP charge is? If so then you were right in telling him that and enforcing it rather than selling yourself short. If not then theres no reason to jack up your price since you werent in great demand.

    How do you know the girls at the Lodge make 500/shift? Some people embellish their earnnings to look better in front of others. So I hope your source is reliable.

    Well, starting on a Saturday night isn't the easiest, as you found out, and the Penthouse VIP rooms have quite the reputation. I think it would be better for you to start on quieter shifts and learn how to deal with the customers there; you will get solicited and you will work with extras girls so it's a matter of learning how to make money your own way in a club you're comfortable with.

    Also, I highly recommend not having your SO come to work. That is not a good way to get started and it's distracting. Have him come check out clubs with you if you like but he shouldn't be there when you're working.

    The Clubhouse, the Lodge, and the Men's Club have better reputations and you might want to check them out. Don't dismiss what that manager told you about coming in early. It's a good way to get started without being overwhelmed by the late-night weekend crowds. Also, Saturday nights are not a great time to go in to get hired. Come in earlier in the week.

    And don't listen to life stories if you're not getting paid. After a couple of songs it's time to start dancing or move on.

    The VIP rooms are $150/half hour and $250/hour. Once they pay that to the waitress, it's up to us to negotiate how much we will make for walking through the door. He said a minimum of $300 is good, I tacked on the $50 because... I think I was on the higher end of looks.

    I have talked to many dancers individually at the Lodge and they all said $500 is average for day shift. One is also a friend and I know she has clients that come in and drop her checks for her bills or whatever she happens to need at the time.

    I really just think that was a bad club... I've been to the Lodge many times, and I was watching like a hawk, and I never saw half the crap I saw last night. Besides, if the girls I'm working with have to be so high they are ona fine line of consciousness, I'm not sure it's a very positive atmosphere?

    I am gonna try another club, and I will leave the SO behind. He came on his own because he didn't trust the security. My friend told him about the passed out girls and having to fight off men... so the general air of lawlessness made him cautious. The next club I try out will be more secure, that's for sure.

    I'm thinking Wed or Thurs. That's what one of the nice (well they were all nice, actually girls told me was best $$$ wise.

    ^^^ That last one right there tells you what the situation is. That's not a strip club, it's a brothel. No wonder everyone wanted sex. I'm so sorry you wound up in that situation, but remember, it could actually have been worse. I suggest you look around for a cleaner club. Better luck next time, hon!

    i haven't read your replies but I am about to. Listen you picked about the highest mileage club around from what i've heard from the other girls in dallas. There is straight up sex going on upstairs and its known for that from what i've been told. The good news is now you have danced, so if I were you, I'd go to cabaret royale , or even babydolls (it isn't as bad as penthouse, i don't think) , work a little while and then move on to either the lodge or the mens' club. you'll make money there. I don't think it's you, i think it's the club. CR is a great place to start out at. Now you don't have to lie about dancing before (even though I dont think you should've sweated that somuch) . don't give up !

    You think I shouldn't go straight to TMC? My friend who is getting me into the Lodge in a week or two said I should go to TMC until a space opens up for me. I can go to a different club if you think it would help.

    Honestly I just feel like I am draggin my feet wherever I go since she is helping me with a few of her regs once I start at the Lodge. She has been so great to me. She is teaching me how to look at their watches, shoes, body language, general hustlin. I think someone high in the sky sent her to me


    Thanks,
    Eve
