From my end I see a lot more girls bitching about how much they don't make. I see the girls with many job options who used to do this declining sharply. So I say forget about the experience of one or a handful of dancers. The general earnings trend is in the toilet.
It sounds elitist but at my club it was easy and common to do a grand EVERY night. Not anymore. It's a lot of persuasive effort.
I think the country's in a financial crisis and people don't want to admit it. In the last few years I've heard many girls speak of their second act, second career. Now, I hear irrational exuberance from girls who look ragged with concern by the end of the night. The general merriment I used to see from my spoiled bratty co-workers (meant affectionately) I don't see. I see a lot of attitude and higher than usual cattiness and heavier drinking.
You know what, Velvet, I'm going to out myself too. I've been doing this for over 10 years and by the grace of GOD I still look like I'm 23, 125lbs 5'7''. It's NEVER been like this. I debated on this for a few weeks because I wanted to see if what happened in Florida could happen here in Myrtle. It has. Friends who have worked this market for five or more years have said it gets lower and lower every year. I didn't care as long as I made quota ($2,000 per week) comfortably. Now it's time to make new plans because this job gets grubbier every year. I used to be one of many giving medium contact. Now, I look like a nun!!! Not cool.
Get your rest, stay on your game and make plans for next year.
