    Thumbs up just do it

    i've been saying "imma just do it" for so long....and today i finally just did it.

    oh those first-time jitters are a bitch. but i had so much fun, i'm really proud of myself, and they hired me. i totally fell but it wasn't tragic, it actually helped me loosen up. i felt like i was being boring so i thought i'd try a little back-bend...and usually i have no problem, but my shoes were sweaty, i slipped, and WHAM!!! down i go, and some guy at the bar got a good gut laugh out of it. a couple years ago i would've started crying with embarrassment and ran out, but it didn't bother me in the LEAST. i couldn't believe how relaxed i was - ass hanging out and all. i got right back up, said, "i'm okay!" like the clown that i am, and danced two more songs without incident. no other dancers had shown up yet and they wanted me to stay and work, but i had to go see my sister while she was in town.

    when i first got there it was DEAD...it's amazing what can happen in 10 minutes. by the time i left i had to push through a crowd, all watching me skedaddle. that's good, right... leave em wanting more?

    i made $16 and left with $11 - 1/3 goes to the club and that's the only tipout. i thought about it...seems straight up to me. there aren't a bunch of djs, bouncers and housepeople. i dunno if it's "fair"... if i made $3000 (that's a big fat if) and had to give them a grand, i don't know how happy i would be about it. but i'm not worried. i like it there. the club has a nice layout, its a mix of older gentlemen and good looking young guys, poker is the place's OTHER main attraction (i love poker), and the men who work there don't creep me out too bad. they are just your classic 40-something dudes who work at a strip joint. if it is really awful i can always leave, but i'm happy to cut my teeth there.

    so that's it. i'm going back tomorrow at 4. i can't believe how good i feel. i'm so excited and no longer really nervous - hopefully i got the klutziness out of my system now. thanks SW...i couldn't have done it without you guys. :

    you are right.. i could've stayed and worked it, but i had a really good reason to leave. my sister was in town that night only. i told her i had a "job interview" and i didn't want to blow her off just to make some money. another dancer told me the night i auditioned and left, she was the only girl who came in for like an hour and a half, and she made bank even though it was slow. oh well though..i took the loss so i could see my seester (who is really christian btw and would be really horrified if she knew i was stripping..so i'm trying to keep it low key)

    30% isn't so bad. Except they shouldn't take it out of tips as well. o.O; Like, I don't see owners counting a waitresses tips and going, "Okay, thirty for me, sixty for you."

    But at clubs I've worked the TOTAL tipout (percentages AND dances) has equaled 58% Santa Ana, 30.7% Wilmington, 75% Brisbane, 40% Brisbane and, finally, 20% Hollywood.

    Ugh when I waitressed at a strip club in Corpus Christi I had to give 1/3 of my tips to tip out. It B L E W. It was hard enough to make money because they charged so much for alcohol that people would complain about the price when I told them and then tip me a quarter and throw it at me as if I was the one who set the prices.
