    ooooh, the white tassle thingy... yeah everyone likes that pic. lol.

    hopefully they've got it right and put me in there as "Ashlee" (that's the stage name i'm using these days)... unlike ralph, who fucked it up and put me as Ashlee at one part and my real name as the other. haha.

    i'll have to go check it out tomorrow.

Is it because I travel so damn much for work and I am not always at home and available that I might not be receiving much work? I know that the agencies I just emailed "screaming" as such for work have all told me that I am at the top of their lists and that they are all "small" agencies hence the work isn't alot however... (just ranting ...ignore me)...I travel because no one at home gives me work. Damnit. I want to have a busy weekend!

    I'm starting to think I should give up on trying to be a showgirl back home here and concentrate on being such in other areas (since they seem to value me and give me showgirl work).

    Just thought I would add something one of the agencies I prefer to work for/with has said to me as I thought it might give everyone an idea of why I bitch and complain so much:

    Also, the bigger agencies have a shit load of girls on their books, so when the work comes in you really have to beg for it and win the work over 100 other girs, I know cos I've been there too.
    So it isn't just me. It is just that there are alot of "showgirls" out there locally. (another slight rant -->) There wouldn't be so many damn "showgirls" on the books if the clubs around here were no touching I know I would return to the SCs if it was...

    the fact that you are never in town,probably does affect your shows. i guess it would be a pain for some companies to contact you on the dates your here-iits much easier to just give the shows to the girls who are consistant on their days available.

    i dunno.

    from experience, most agency owners like things to be easy. if you're giving them a schedule saying "i'll be available on this day, this day and this day, but not this day, or this day, or this day" then they're probably just gonna be like, "whatever, we'd rather give the work to the girls that we know will be here for us every weekend" rather than having to give shows out around your schedule.

    So it's a true catch 22 for me. I want to stay home and work. Really I do however it is just not lucrative enough for me here so I travel for work. No one can expect me to stay home working for anywhere between $100 - $400 per week. I'm not being a "princess" as I don't have an expensive lifestyle so I am lucky I can be okay on such low income (for a dancer) however it is because the income is so low for me here at home that I do not stay. I'm thinking I might just give up working locally and concentrate on working elsewhere more often...

    I'm not being difficult. They have all know I have been available all this month .... I'm trying to be more "at home" however whenever I am at home for extended amounts of time (and believe me I give them all decent notice that I am) ... I don't seem to make good money here.

    Damnit. Ignore me. I'm just venting. Hopefully it will all work out in the end. I'm not holding my breath.

    I saw the picture Darcy! Go girl! You can add THAT to your modelling credits.

    So how is everyone for Saturday? I'm starting from 1pm. It's mainly topless gigs for me (1pm until 6pm; 9-11pm) however I am hoping to be able to convince the guys to tip enough for me to do a show (as I want to test my POLICE outfit (the one inspired by this trashy.com outfit) it's ready to be used! woohoo!)... I missed out on one show in Surfers because I couldn't do it at 7.30pm instead of 8pm (I need an hour to get from Surfers to anywhere in Brisbane esp. of a night).

    Plus I'm hoping to make a few calendar sales as I did last week... that will be tops!

    i think it's gonna be a big weekend for me. already booked for a well-paying country show at half time of the grand final, plus a couple of shows tomorrow night. if it's anything like last years grand final, i'll end up getting a crazy amount of last minute call-ins and be out working from midday til 2am *fingers crossed*

    gosh, it was pretty quiet tonight for a grand final night.

    i ended up getting an extra country show, so i made almost an extra $300 in travelling money all up, which was nice. i didn't really have a whole lot of shows tonight, but i made pretty fuckin good money considering how little work i did.

    next weekend is going to be insanely busy by the looks of it... already booked for 4 shows and there'll be a lot more coming in, i think.

    I will be in Darwin next weekend and the weekend after that before I am home again. I will have the six pub/hotel shows @ $100 each to do (yay.. I can't f-ing wait!!) and whatever else they can throw my way in re: private party shows. After Saturday just past, I am totally utterly done with waitressing work. I didn't have a traumatic experience like MelbourneLexi ... I'm just am "over it". I came to a stark realisation that I am not suited to being a waitress. It's slowly destroy-ing me as I havn't got "what it takes" to be a successful waitress (imo). I "have what it takes" to be a really great showgirl (that's why I can't wait to go to Darwin).

    I worked in Cudgen during the footy 1-6pm for $325 (it was $65 per hour due to travel) with two other waitresses (the other waitresses didn't really encourage tipping or anything so no extra money) and then I headed out to Kallangular in Brisbane (around two hour drive from Cudgen!!) for a two hour booking @ $50 per hour (with another waitress). Was tipped $50 to go nude for half an hour at that last booking. It really wasn't worth it for me that last booking. (They put the hat around to see if the guys at the party could help out in getting both of us naked.. in the end one of the guys front-ed up the $100 (and that's all he could afford) as the money they scrapped together was real low.) It was a two hour drive from my last booking and they weren't prepared to be generous/tip... it was definately "out of my way".

    That's it for me as a waitress. I'm a showgirl only from now on and if I only receive one show a weekend when I am home.. so be it. I would much rather that one show than topless work.

    I'm going to look into promo work now. The few times I have done it, it was fun. I am clothed and won't be around drugs and alcohol so much. I won't have people haggling me as a promo girl to "c'mon have one drink" etc. Yes I realise some of it is in nightclubs around drunk people however they're easy to ignore in a nightclub compared to a private party. Yes it is a pay cut compared to waitress work however much less stressful IMO.

    Did you get that second booking from L? I got NOTHING this week and would've loved that especially if it was out of your way and in mine. As you know, L is testing me out as a backup to get sponsored... I wonder if they're mad at me. The last place said they'd complain about me...because I yelled at them for videoing me! L isn't that oblivious, are they?

    ^^^ they arent allowede to video without your permission anyways.even if they complained to your agency,the agency should back you up.you did nothing wrong.

    i had a cunt of a night last night- one group of guys were ok, good attitudes etc except the buck kept touching and asking why i wouldnt let him touch constantly, then i brough out the candle wax, he kept saying he wanted more- like 2 songs went by and he was still saying it didnt hurt and he wanted more. no worries....then he started being a dick, the cd finished and i grabbed my stuff and got changed.somehow everything turned sour and the guys thought i was ripping them off on time (they didnt realise the cd had finished!) and started screaming shit at us, and complaing that i 'abused' the buck.... as we left they were kicking the fence and screaming how we ripped them off and 'jessica who? jessica who? " argh!

    No the second booking was from Cara. As for the yelling at them for filming you, that is perfectly within your rights. The people at the party are not allowed to film you in any way (camera phones, digitial cameras, video cameras) without your express permission. The same goes with photography. As for not having any bookings this past weekend, one thing I have learnt from all my trials and tribulations is that you must put your name down with every single agency here on the Coast.

    I've been told multiple times from multiple sources that it doesn't pay to be exclusive to anyone and just freelance. S.E.Qld is not like alot of other cities where you can be or even have to be in order to gain work.

    Just be available on the same day(s) consistently and you'll do well. Plus the fact that you do not have a visa yet may hold alot of agencies back from hiring you as they don't want hassles from immigration or anything.

    You have to make a decision to travel alot and not be thought of alot (like me) or stay put and eventually the work will come your way (patience).

    Also, communicate with the agencies. Give them all a text message and call each week telling them "Hi it is morrigan. I am open for work Friday and Saturday especially in the Brisbane region - thank you".

    Alot of the other private party dancers have been at this business for years and/or built themselves up with certain agencies and thus they receive consistent work.

    Nah, you just experienced the not so good side of being a private party stripper. Experiences like that toughen you up and make you smarter. Next time the Buck or whoever tries to be unruly with you you need to bring the whip out and whip his ass. If he continues to be an ass, then stop the show. Cut it off. Cut it short. Ignore them because in the end you are the one laughing as you just earnt $x in x minutes whereas none of them would have a hope in hell of doing the same. It's just like a strip club to a certain degree as you really aren't always going to get plesant people/bookings.

    If they do whinge and complain at you. Give the agency that gave you the booking a call straight away to give them the heads up that the party you just left was very unrule-ly and rude to you. They may ring up to complain when you did the full show as they were just being difficult. If you ever have to cut a show short, always let the agency that booked it for you know that you had to cut it short.

    They appreciate the "heads up". I've had my fair share of horrible waitressing experiences. Saturday wasn't one of them just that ..well.. I'm kinda over the waitressing. I can only do it every so often not as much as I have done in the past month.

    I guess I will text them. They decided not to sponsor me anyway (they were a backup) because my visa comes through tomorrow. The guys just said they'd complain to the company I was a B because I yelled at one and I kicked another in the knee because he grabbed my crotch. They threatened to tell the company I didn't accomodate them or do my work. Whatever.

    i've been having a really good run lately in regards to customer behaviour... this week and last week i've done over 10 shows all up and they've ALL been fantastic groups. the week before that i had great groups of guys too.

    ugh, i suppose it just means i'm about due for a group of sleazy italian men who try to rape me if i go within 3 feet of them.

    p.s. that was not meant in a racist way, only in the way that practically the only time i ever have dramas with private parties is when it's for large group of european men who treat women like shit. they always try to violate me. it's disgusting. i really dislike dancing for them.

    OMG! Morrigan! If they grab your crotch, game over!! You ring not text the agency as soon as you have managed to remove yourself from the party. You ring them up and explain to them that you have left early (cut the booking short) because they violated you. That is a violation. At no point in time are they allowed to touch you without your permission!!.

    Just like they aren't allowed to touch the showgirls/strippers without their permission, they (the clients/customers) are not allowed to touch you without your permission.... and they certainly cannot under any circumstances touch you in the groin area. That is "game over" as soon as they go there. No warnings, you leave.

    As you would in a strip club during a private/lap dance, you must control the situation. If you feel you cannot and they have the upper hand (as such) ... and you feel your safety is not the best... leave.

    If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have left early/cut a booking short. Ring the agency (never text - phone them) as soon as you are safe to inform them of the situation. This way they have a heads up and if the client(s) do ring up to complain - the agency will at least now know what has happened to cause you to leave.

    Do not become physical with them. Just leave.

    They quit once I kicked the guy. I threatened to leave. I guess I've been desensitized, it doesn't feel violating anymore, just offensive. I'm used to being molested I guess. I'll be more stern next time.

    Gotta love Darwin and flaky stippers! Thanks to one girl who literally left the day after she arrived I inherited a lot of her shows... so I went from doing 7 shows at 100 per show to 11 shows at 100 per show. Friday was the busy show day and I loved it. I'm definately going to see if they can consider giving me in my last week (this week) here the same amount of shows.

    Thanks to a book I read... I realise why I'm not receiving much showgirl work compared to topless work... there is a hell of a lot more topless work around than showgirl work, I was one of the few quality reliable waitresses and alot of the time the clients choose their showgirl before-hand (if they do not choose a showgirl, the agency will generally go for the girls who are constantly available than someone like me who does alot of travel).

    So it is like I thought!!! It is a catch 22 on my part: I can either stay home and cry poor whilst I work my way back up the list with all the agencies back home for work over a period of three or more months ........... or I follow the money and travel for work.

    I recommend working in Darwin doing the Honey Pot contract if you can get the shows. The club still sucks. lol. Same ol' complaints from before... and they're not MY complaints (lol - the other dancers are making the complaints I made).

    Whilst not super busy during Indy, I am making good money so my complaint about Indy about not being lucrative for me is not valid anymore. Plus Jessica and me have finally done a few duo shows together! YAY! We "popped" each others cherries in that department As always, whenever I did a topless booking by myself I managed to hustle a show out of them guys ... either a solo or duo.

    Next year I will take on 2 hour (no longer) topless bookings (not nude) on Thursday where I work by myself (I won't take on bookings where I work with another girl unless I know that other girl will work WITH me and most do not unfortunately) as it looks like a really great way to hustle for more work over the rest of the Indy weekend esp. show work.

    As much as I dislike topless waitressing, over Indy and esp. on track, it is the main form of work available even at the last minute (and there is a HEAP of last minute work) so I will have to conceed to it at Indy each year (but only for a day - the rest of the days I will keep myself open for show work).

    Not the busiest weekend for me however I can't complain anymore at least. We'll see what next weekend is like... esp. since it is reknown as a quiet weekend both in the clubs and in the private party areas.

    I have one more booking... waitress from 12noon to 6pm and I am ONLY doing it because I am guaranteed a show as part of the deal (I put my foot down with all the agencies and said that I won't do waitressing longer than 2 hours UNLESS I am guaranteed a show no "they have the money, you can hustle a show out of them" BS).

    hooray. i love this time of year. got another very busy weekend coming up, both friday and saturday! i really hope it stays like this for a few months, cos it's definitely a big help to my savings account.

    i want new costumes though. i'm getting so bored of doing the same thing over and over again. i'm not sure what to get though... maybe a new nurse outfit. i've been doing schoolgirl for like 7 months and i'm a bit over it!! or maybe i'll get a cool new cop. hmmmmm. decisions decisions.

    I actually do not mind doing the one show over and over again esp. if I know I can work it and work it great. Plus it can kinda be a trademark .... I may eventually make one of my other shows my trademark (my specialty and favourite) however for now School Girl is it for me (as I have three different School Girl outfits to use).

    This is why I like doing the Darwin booking as it allows me to use some of my not-so-well-used themes (shows) thus allowing me variety and giving me a way to develop those other shows. I'm hoping this weekend might be busy enough for me as well as I am hoping that I have proved to a few of the agencies over Indy that I do damn good shows... so give me the work. Nothing booked yet.

    Because of this weekend, I figured out what agencies decide it's a good idea to tell you where to go for a booking from two weeks ago... But only twenty minutes before while you're on the road and it's forty minutes away. I can only drive in unfamiliar territory in rain so fast! That said, this is the only reason I was busy... Because I was panicing.
