    Default First two weeks of January the worst?

    I'm not usually much for times of year being good/bad, but I've heard a lot of girls this year saying they're not working after xmas until the end of Jan because it's usually so bad $$-wise.

    I need to fit some work in soon-ish, and first two weeks of Jan would be very convenient...I'd be in Philly, if that makes a difference.

    Thoughts?

    yeah, it's no the best time of year, but it's not horrible. I did really well last Jan, but that's because I had a good customer for the first week (he was short-lived, but I got like $5,000 out of him), I was at a new club (twice) and I was super motivated since I was saving up for my boobs.

    so you coming back to the horse? They have new fees now, so I expect a lot of girls to leave.

    I don't know about the horse now, but this month at Risque is complete crap. It almost seems worse then Nov, Oct, Sept., or August. It hasn't been the same here since July. I didn't work last January so I have no idea. We are getting a casino in the area so that might boost things by the time you come here.

    Well, I'm actually planning on going to a club in the boonies...conshohoken (sp?). Something low-key, as my tolerance level is low lately. But I'll probably do a few nights at CH2 as well, because why not.

    New fees eh? Hm, are they bad?

    7th Heaven prob has money potential, but it's a little grody. I guess if you don't like it, you can always come back to CH2. I hear the girls do make money at 7th. It's the only club in that area.

    yeah, the fees are going to be (I am not sure on this, but this is as close as I can remember)

    Sun-Wed $30 housefee before 8:30, or $45 if you hit the floor after 8:30
    Thu-Sat $40 housefee before 8:30 or $55 if you are on the floor after 8:30

    You keep all money you make in tips and on for lap dances, but still 15% to the house on VIPs. Still have to pay 10% to cash in funny money.

    So basically it's about the same for me as what I'm paying now since they aren't collecting the 15% on ALL money anymore. But lots of girls don't make that much on the floor.

    ^ Well, that's about the same as before for me, since I'm still way better at selling laps than CR.

    CH2 scared me though, don't know if I can handle that stress again! We'll see.

    except for warm southern 'vacation destination' states cashing in on snowbirds, in general the month of January simply sucks. A few reasons ...

    #1 - anybody who earns over $87k per year (who hit the SSI tax ceiling at some point in the previous year) will see a substantial drop in their weekly take-home paycheck as SSI taxes for the new year kick back in

    #2 - 4th quarter estimated taxes are due for business operators on Jan 15th

    #3 - Christmas shopping credit card statements will be arriving

    #4 - the first seriously high winter heating bills start arriving

    #5 - many 'employees' will see their paychecks shrink due to annual increases in health insurance premiums which take effect with the first paycheck after January 1st

    Fok. Might as well stick around here then, because at least I'll get paid the same for my shows whether it's busy or not. Then I can do Philly in Feb.

    A lot of the folks I work with consider Early Jan in Las Vegas to be the best time of the year due to the CES show. I'm sure this is a regional oddity, but at least it's a good one!

    Personally, I remember January through March being phenomenal for me last year. January was great...I dunno. It gets cold and nasty here...my theory is that guys like coming to a club/ bar that has no line ups...no waiting in the cold when they want to come right in and drink. Plus the post-hockey game crowd is usually pretty good.

    Actually, I like January. Lots of my regulars and semi-regs don't come in so much during December because they have holiday parties, holiday bills, etc. By the time January rolls around, they are bored and missing the bar. Also, regular season football is over (one less form of entertainment) and the weather sort of evens out, so they get used to the cold. All in all, as things get back to normal, guys resume their regular routines and start dropping in again.

    I've only been back dancing since last March, all has been quite good until this month. I am hoping January will be much better. I have cash to live off of until the new year, but I would rather work and build up a nest egg rather than see it all go to bills.
