    Default Encouragement please

    I'm supposed to audition next week. I've been working towards this for about 6 months - lost 40 lbs, got a fake tan, got the outfits and shoes, practiced dancing in front of mirror and for hubby. So...now that the time is almost here...I'm really nervous. I've tried to figure out what's making me so nervous, so I can fix it, but no dice.

    Maybe it's because I am not a 20 year old hottie? I look pretty good for a 38 yr old and pass for 28 even without makeup. I'm definitely a thick girl, but no rolls. I have some scars that will have to be covered with dermablend, but nothing too awful.

    I have my alter ego worked out and actually really enjoy her! I take her out to clubs every now and then - and Megan (my alter ego) always gets guys attention. I've been in SC's and had lots of guys want to know when I'm going to dance - would I dance for them right now?

    I did a lot of theatre when I was younger - it doesn't feel like stage fright. I'm generally pretty happy pretending to be someone else.

    I'm not worried about guys touching me - I can handle guys touching legs, butt, and sides. I occasionally end up in the lap of some guy I don't know - when I'm being Megan. They don't bother me at all - kind of fun actually.

    So - aside from a shot or two of tequila...any advice to get me off my ass and go audition?

    Also - there's one club where they told me to just come to work - no audition, or there's another club where I would have to audition. Should I just go to the one where I don't have to audition...to make it easier?

    Be careful with the alcohol. That's the last thing you need, to be nervous and tipsy! Try to quit stressing about it. Sounds like you've done everything right to prepare for this. You'll be great! Think of how much fun you'll have, and how much money you'll make...Relax!

    Thanks LyssaLynn - Hubby said the same thing - with the addition that when I get stressed about it, he also gets freaked out about it. It's sweet because he really wants me to try it for ME, but he doesn't want me to get hurt.

    I know you are right about the drinking too - but damn, a shot would really help loosen me up!

    I'll get the jitters my first set of every shift. You'll be fine once you're up there. I know it feels strange at first. You won't even think about the jitters once you start making money.

    Yes, please very little or no alcohol. No worries about the age thing either. Theres a almost 40yr old I work with and she does just as well if not better than the young ones.

    There's no secret really to eliminate the nerves when you're starting out. You just gotta jump in! You sound really ready, though... Lol, you'll do great!!

    You will do great I think your ready, more then ready. Do not do the shots though because you will start to think that the only way you can work is to take a shot or two and thats not a cool thing to depend on. So just do it! As for the age thing, consider it a bonus!

    Sassy Dad here -- she's working as we speak, they let me in as they know me, she's fkn awesome, already banking and on a slow nite too. That being said, I will NEVER and I repeat NEVER go up there again while she is working. I wanted to stab every man in the club. But, I'm proud of her despite my own insecurities, what a sexy strong lil' minx.
