so... i'm in LA right now. i came to witness an impossible love, not to work, and i'm well aware that "there's no money in california", like many of you have said already.
but since i'm here for a few months, i figured that i need to work 2-3 nights a week to support myself.
i did a search here on the boards and i read the club reviews on this site, i asked around and after doing all this, last night i went to check out three clubs. it didn't go very well.
i work at spearmint rhino in London, upscale gown club yadda yadda and that's the only club i've ever worked at so far, so that is pretty much my idea of strip club.
the clubs i checked out last nite were all in west hollywood, since somebody had told me that i wouldn't have problems being hired there even tho i'm on a turist visa and i don't have a work permit.
i went to star strip on la cienega first and i didnt like it at all...dancers were walking around some barefoot, some in their jeans, the stage looked more like a bath tub and so on. then i went to seventh veil on sunset and i didn't like it very much either, and at last i went to the body shop on sunset, and even tho i wasn't crazy about it i asked a dancer (she was actually really nice) and she took me to management. they look at me and say ok come work tomorrow (saturday) night and i'm like "ok great" but then one of them asked to see my tattoos (i've got big ones on my arms) and suddenly they changed their minds saying "the tattoos are unacceptable, you can only work daytime come on monday at noon". they were deaf to my protests (with these tattoos i work in a gown club and i make money!) and not very nice in general.
ok now i feel a bit lost, maybe i'll go on monday hoping that if i make some money they will let me work at night, but what if they won't? is it normal that a club like the body shop full of young customers won't hire me for my tattoos? do i have any chance of getting hired at chains like spearmint rhino if i'm not a US citizen and i'm on a turist visa? where else can i go?
any feedback would be appreciated
thank you ladies
