Yeah...tell them that whoever is wearing oil and getting it all over the pole made you fall. Will management do anything? I know at one club I worked at I got fed up and complained...the manager walked around touching every girls arm and sent home the one who was covered in oil.
People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.





Just go back in there with your head high, and act like nothing happened. If there is someone you can speak to like a housemom- just mention that the pole was oily and maybe she could remind the dancers not to use it.
If our housemom sees any dancer doing that, she will call her out for it.
A couple of days have passed and in strip club time, that is like a month or more lol. I've found that by the next day mostly everyone has forgotten or is talking about something else. A few days ago one dancer got caught sucking dick in the couch section and was made to leave and fined. She strolled in the next day like nothing happened! No one brought it up and we went on back to work.
Good luck tonight.





No one is going to remember, probably. And if the do say something, f them. "Invisible audience" fallacy is going on here... you certainly are thinking about it way more than anyone else!
Here is what I do: I get a bar towel and put alcohol or witch hazel on it, and wipe everyone's freaking fake tan off the pole before I start monkeying around on it.
Aww, you shouldnt worry about it. If anyone does mention it just giggle about it and tell them what the situation was. You never know, maybe others fell off the pole that night too! (-:
thanks everyone so much for your support and advice.
Aww...sorry that happened. If you fall again (hopefully not from oil another time), then get up, take an exaggerated bow, smile, and play it off and then continue doing what you were doing. If anyone laughs AT you, rather than with you, ahh well, screw them. Dancers fall often, especially with the shoes we wear, so there's a chance you'll see it happened to even a more seasoned girl. Customers usually don't care, especially if you make it seem like it's not a big deal when it happens. Blame the shoes! Good luck...

Oil on the pole can be VERY dangerous! I would speak to the manager, housemom or both and ask them to mention to all the dancers that lotions or oils are not allowed and why.
I can't believe the girls were laughing at you- it was probably the same iddiots that wore greasy lotion or put oil on before work. Dumbasses. Clean the pole from the bottom up to prevent slipping off of it. At the club I work in, any girl caught using oil or greasy lotion will be fired on the spot; it's very hazardous to the other dancers.
Slips happen. Just laugh about it, get up and move on. If you act like it's not a big deal, others will take their cue from that and move on also. (This is coming from someone who several months ago tripped down a full flight of steps coming from the dressing room to the main floor.)

I do a lot of pole work and I noticed that some times it's not always the other girls...sometimes the oil that they use to fill the smoke machine(the mist goes everywhere) is what's doing it...or one girl had oil in her hair(not on her body)and not thinking touched her hair then the pole/slid with her back to the pole.Another girl puts deoderant on the backs of her legs and that also caused an oily /greasey pole.There's a cloth that is supposed to be able to clean poles.Chalk...liquid grip agents..Golfing gloves.And as for shoes,I always buy the ones with rubber soles.I strap my shoes to my feet with garters(balance).Test the pole too..before jumping it.And if you still bite it the only thing left ot do is say fuck it..I'm naked and I have nothing left to hide or be ashamed of!
I fell the other night and I wasn't even doing anything. I was on the floor, not on stage, I wasn't dancing or even walking, I was just standing there, and no one remembered a half hour later, let alone the next day.
You actually had a reason to fall ie: you were doing something and the pole was all greasy, ad you've been gone long enough that I'm willing to be no one will even remember what happened if you yourself bring it up.
Good luck, darlin'
P.S.
It sucks that the mgmt is being so inefficient, but it's like that where I am, too. Someone broke glass on the stage, so everyone and their mom cut themselves Wed. night. No one tells me this and I cut myself Thurs. night, go backstage and yell to the mgmt that there's blood on the stage. Six hours later I still hear girls bitch "That's nasty! Who bled all over the stage?"
