    Default Ouch! + Audition on Sunday!

    Saturday and Sunday I had some more lessons at the club I hope to work at, Saturday was out first day of pole tricks. I didn't do too badly, but I am not very strong from the waist up, feeble arms. I had a few bruises on my knees at the end of the session, nothing I wasn't prepared for. Sunday, however, because I was already tired from the day before I REALLY hurt myself, several times. I seriously look like I've been beaten with the pole, rather than like I've been dancing around it! I'm a bit worried about my ankle too - it's very swollen, and a bit green (I banged it quite hard).
    I've got one more lesson on Sunday, and then I will probably audition straight after, if our teacher thinks I'm ready; she only made us book one extra lesson so I guess she thinks we will be. Argh!...quite scary. I've got a really awful cold/flu now though, and I hope it doesn't fluff everything up! I hardly think the 'bunged up' look is very sexy, lol. I've got to get my dress made too. I've got to get a "evening gown" to wear before midnight, and that is just so insane! The dress-maker got me to try on an "gown" that apart from having only the tiniest piece of material that went all the way to the floor, it was totally see-through! This industry does make me laugh. In a club where you're only ever 3 minutes from the dress being taken off, why is it see-through? Mine's not gonna be, that's for sure! I’m thinking a muted gold colour, and a cerise or magenta for a shorter dress.
    It was really fun when I went on Friday to see the club in action, so to speak, and I loved it! While we were there, the management just declared free champagne for everyone, customers, dancers, waitresses and bouncers, it had such a happy atmosphere, I can’t wait to work! We chatted with a few girls and they all seemed really nice, there was one girl throwing a major tantrum, but as far as I could understand, rightly so.
    Oooh, question. The house fee has just gone down from £80 to £20, but they take more commission on your dances...I think it’s £8 they take, from £20 leaving you with £12 - is this normal? I don’t know about ‘sit downs’ they’re £250 for an hour, but I don’t know about commission with regards to them. Is it normally deducted from?
    Well, I better go do some push-up, urgh - I just want to sleep!

    Hey you

    Your bruises will get better soon, it`s hard at the beginning,I know it myself I`m not sure about the ankle though maybe you need to c yr GP???

    They will almost definitelly take a cut from the sit down fee, I`m not sure how much it will be, I think you should be left at least with 150-180 £,maybe 200 £. It varies from club to club so you`d better ask the management.

    BTW, is it Spearmint at TTC or Heathrow where you`ll be working ???

    Get some Arnica on those bruises!
    And don't worry too much about the arm strength - it will improve so fast once you get on that pole regularly!

    Oh yes, Arnica rules! I have both Arnica 30c pills, and cream; although pills are running out. I might bimble off to the homeopath and get some 100c (can’t buy it in the shops). I may too go to my GP, my ankle isn’t that sore and I can walk on it, but if I accidentally touch it, I REALLY know about it!
    I’m going to work at TCR, if all goes to plan on Sunday, but I am thinking about maybe working Heathrow too. I’d imagine it’s more a steady flow of businessmen on the weekdays, rather than a big flux on the weekend like it is a TCR. Do you work at either? I know you have to work three shifts a week at TCR, is that the same at Heathrow? Not sure I could cope working 6 days! Yeah, they’ll take money for sit-downs, you’re right…wishful thinking that they wouldn’t. I wonder if it’s the same 40%? That’d leave me with…150? That doesn’t sound right, but I’m really bad at fractions and percentages!
    I really do hope you’re right about my arms, it’s just hard to work them out when they’re honestly so weak, I really cannot do a push-up! Not properly anyway.
    Well I’m off for another icky Lemsip, gotta shake this cold! Thank you for all your advice.

    I've never tried the pills. not sure how effective they would be. I use the Gel made by "simply beautiful cosmetics" you can get it cheaply on eBay. Brilliant stuff!

    If the rules are still the same in Heathrow, you are supposed to work there 3 days per wk as well, don`t know how busy it actually is but I think there is another girl on the forum here (Satine ) who is working there at the moment so try to pm her and ask her.

    I think you`ll be left with something like 180 £ at least (fingers crossed ) 4 the sit down, it would be a complete rip off if they took more (and I hate clubs taking their cut anyway ).

    Hope everything goes well,let us know what the 1st night was like

    I'll try looking for the gel, sounds good. The pills are great, for lots of things, not just bruising. I broke my two front teeth (several times) and Arnica pills are excellent, as creams and gels are just not possible.
    It's a shame about the 3 shifts a week thing; though, might be able to work it out, we'll see.
    My audition date was changed, because they had a staff meeting/fire safety day thing on Sunday, so now my audition is tomorrow! It hasn't really sunk in yet, and I'm still debating with myself whether the fact that customers will be there is a good thing or not - I respond very well (only well) to pressure so hopefully it'll act in my favour. I'll let you all know how it goes...argh!
