Ok so here it is, my first official rant![]()
If you remember, my very first post on SW was a question about "management" and if any of you are in a binding contract..and i got all pissed of when a few of you said "they sound like pimps" and told me to haul ass in the other direction..
(sorry this is gonna be lenghthy..)
Well, this weekend i was scheduled to dance (my VERY FIRST TIME EVER) at a club in NYC where i was "guaranteed" $2500, and supposed to give them $600.. well the trip fell throuh ..i missed them when they left, supposedly taking two other girls, but i swear i don't beleive they were ever there.. and so my "manager" is breaking his neck to get me a gig in the next biggest city to us, Charlotte..and assured me i'd come out with "at least $700" and that i wouldn't have to drive my car, which has no insurance, and is riding on a damn donut.. well, he ends up callling me back, asking me can i dance in the lil bitty city of HIGHPOINT..and tells me that someone will pick me up at the studio at 7:30.. also he tells me that he has spoken with the manager and yada-yada and i'll do well tonight, and "only" have to give him $200... so 8oclock comes and no one is at the studio, and i've just borrowed $80 from my mother to get my first outfit (which he said he'd "take care of" yeah right.) so i call the lil club, and they've never heard of him, and inform me that "strippers dont need managers" and laugh at me when i mention what i'm supposed to pay him.. and when i say he told me i wouldn't have to get onstage until i'm ready they basically tell me that "the girls don't make the rules WE DO"..so i drive my car out there, do my thing in this ratty ass club that plays rock n roll and COUNTRY music (and the owners wife says to me.. "uh, honey this isnt a BLACK CLUB) like, wtf is THAT supposed to mean anyway?! But anyway, there were like, 8 damn customers, and we had to do "dollar dances" all night.. and by the end i had like $140..more than some of the other girls *sigh* and when i go home, i owe my mother $80.. but here's the part you're gonna love..
NO SECURITY to walk us out (that was the main thing i was supposed to pay them for, was my own security guard to be in the club with me & walk me in & out & drive me..) and when i get to the car, our 20 year old, college-student slash "admin person" is waiting for me at my car with some big ass dude, talkin bout i owe them $200.. i literally fall out laughing and tell them both to kiss my ass and tell her to tell our manager to be prepared to hear from me Monday...
Oh i am so PISSED.. but you guys TRIED to warn me!! Sorry so long, but i am so damn mad!! ANd my car overheated on the way back home & i got even madder...pay you $200 FOR WHAT???!!! I drove myself, escorted myself, danced all f*cking night in a lame ass club that i would never ever go as a customer.. and i think they put me on a damn work schedule..
So as far as my conttact overall, i think getting a lawyer first thing Monday morning is my best bet, because even though i signed them, i bet there's a loophole, as weak as these mofos are when it comes to BUSINESS... ugh i am so MAD...



I wouldn't waste my time to sue them, and like you said, if they try and sue me it won't be worth the time..
Do you think these guys would show up at your house? I would call the police on them! Tell the cops that these guys are trying to pimp you and extort money out of you. The fuckahs!
