    Stripperitious

    I have stripperitious really bad. I need to work and pay bills but I hate dancing.
    Am I the only lady in the game that gets like this after 10 years. It seems like the more time I take off the harder it is to go in.
    There are so many restrictions dancing in Manhattan. There are shoe regulations like there are parking regulations. And every club in Manhattan is being screwed with by the authorties. What's up with this?
    Any suggestions anyone to help me get the motivation to go to work? How can I mentally prepare myself for this. Once I get to work I am fine... It's just getting there..



    I Love Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You know what I do sophie? I have a hard time going in to work to. I dont even think about work. I just think abotu a shower. Take a shower. Put on the makeup. Dont even think abotu work. Just put on your makeup.
    Then once I'm all ready to go, I think ok...I'll just drive past work, and if it looks slow, I dont have to go in. But every time I drive past, its alwyas really busy, a line out the door, and I think oh, see how busy it looks? I can make money. Its packed. Of course I can do well tonight. Lets go in.
    And once Im inside, pay the fees, Im there. Its time to get to work.

    Then all I think is ok. 1 dance. Lets just get 1 dance. After that..your on a roll, and its smooth sailing.

    If I didnt do it this way, I get to overwhelmed. I think of the big picture, and start stressing out. Its not just get to work, I think omg, Im gonna go to work, its slow, I wont make back house fees, then I wont have the money for my housefees tomorrow, then I wont be able to pay the rent. Its much easier for me to break it down into little baby steps, then I dont see the whole picture, and I don't stress out. Nothing stressful about taking a shower. Nothing stressful about driving past work. No pressue to work. Just get there and see how it looks. Luckily, the club is always busy so I'm tricking myself. I know it will always be busy, and I will want to go in after I se that.

    Holy crap, Kaylinn, I do the SAME THING. I won't feel like working but I'll still get ready, get in the car & tell myself "If the parking lot looks dead or if there's cops out front, I'm going back home." And I remind myself that I ONLY need 3 dances to break even.
