    Default okay, austin it is!

    i'm moving to austin in july if all goes well with the mister.



    austin girls, help meeee! this is what i need to know.

    + i am looking for a small efficiency or a small loft apartment. i heard that zipcode 78704 is what i am looking for. i heard a few things though, about that area. i would be moving to the "soco" area. someone told me this is a mexican ghetto... is this true?

    + potential earnings: i'm not looking to make 10k month. is 5k realistic for a seasoned hustler with a good personality and a killer smile?

    + i heard driving in austin is a nightmare... is it really that different than anywhere else?

    thanks in advance babiiiiies

    Ahahahahahahaha.

    No. South Congress used to be rough but is now a thoroughly gentrified strip of boutiques and restaurants. The 78704 zip includes the lovely Travis Heights neighborhood which is neither a ghetto nor cheap, and apartments are vastly outnumbered by single family homes. Tell that racist, elitist, misinformed someone that the polluted Houston air has clearly clouded his eyesight.

    $5K/month is certainly doable there. You've already read about the clubs to hit here. Perfect 10, Palazio, Yellow Rose. But you're gonna be dealing with the nasty summer doldrums and the influx of displaced Houston dancers.

    You've driven in Houston, right? How can Austin possibly be worse? I mean, it sucks, but it's not worse. And also, we're strippers, which means we can avoid rush hour.

    Good luck with the move! I think you'll be happy.

    5000 is definitely possible, but you will have to work 4 or 5 days a week, every week.

    i was planning on 4 days a week, it would keep me in shape!

    also, i don't mind high contact, because that's what you did here when i was starting/learning. would that help out?

    5k is certainly doable with 4 days a month. I love the 78704 area code, that's where many of the hip people that give Austin it's unique flavor live. It's a great choice. Since you'll be in south Austin, your closer clubs will be Palazio and Expose. Both are very nice, and they are some of the better clubs to work in.

    The only drawback to working in Austin is the frequent plague of too many dancers. This kills earnings on certain nights, but with clever scheduling and perseverance you can still get your money.

    Edit *oops I meant 4 days a week. Haha 4 days a month for 5k, I wish!

    My lease is up in early July here in Amarillo, but we're planning on getting down to Austin maybe a month after. My boyfriend wants to live in Round Rock, but I'm unfamiliar with Austin as the only short spurts of time I've spent there I was nowhere near sober. lol
    Thanks for starting this thread Corgan, and for the replies everyone else. I'll keep checking up on this!
    And I've got a friend at Yellow Rose, so I was planning on checking it out, but I've never been there...hmmm...we shall see..

    paintbaby, where in canada are you?? i wish i could stay here in vancouver forever (my man is from here) but we think it'd be better to go to austin - at least until we start a family 10 or so years from now! then it's back up here, most likely burnaby. xoxoxo.

    I'm a Calgary gal, Miss Corgan. I lived in Vancouver for about 7 years, so I know why you love the place--but Austin RAWKS!! I would totally move to Austin in a heartbeat if I could--it has more of a soul than Vancouver does, although Vancouver is very beautiful.

    you mean you want to be the extras girl?
    I wouldn't recommend it.
    Management here has been cracking down a bit because we have so many girls, and house dancers will probably give you a lot of shit too.
    In my club we don't have any semblance of a VIP room so it is very obvious who is letting guys touch them where.

    PLUS, I don't think it would make you any more money.

    ^ Ummm I don't think that's what she meant. I mean, you're in Texas too. You should know that different places have different expectations and rules as far as contact goes. You should also know that ammount of contact varies widely between girls even within the law. Comfort levels anyone?

    Touching boobs is considered an extra here, even though it happens pretty frequently. To allow it would certainly piss off the girls who play by the rules. Heavy grinding is common, no one would bat an eyelash over it.

    Not all the girls do it, only a minority of them that ever I saw. To allow it out in the open would be totally not cool, and would hurt biz for all the girls who don't care to be arrested.
    If you want to allow it, take it to the VIP. It's still against the rules but theres more leeway there. You'll get some dirty looks and shit talking, but no one seems to tattle about it there.
    Personally, I never allowed boob touching and did fine.

    ugh i think i am totally coming across the wrong way here.

    the way i learned, was high contact. it's not that i'm a custy fucker. it's just the way i learned.

    if i get to austin, and i am told that boob touching is allowed, then i don't mind people touching my boobs. if i am told otherwise, then i won't do it!

    dirty looks and shit talking are the least of my worries. i think any stripper can attest to that.

    what i meant is that, if austin really does get flooded with houston girls, and the mileage goes up, then i won't think twice about boob touching. if it's the new norm, then why not?

    where i work now, if you don't let guys touch your boobs, get another job... because you won't make anything. and that's what i'm used to.

    it would be refreshing though, to be able to not get touched and make the same amount of money!!! kinda looking forward to easy work!

    Haha easy work, I wish! It's not easy. The biggest hurdle is the too-many-girls situation, but it's still do-able.

    Yeah I know your not coming to be the new extras girl or anything. Your there to do what you gotta do and make the money. It's all good! For all I know, boob gropes may indeed be the new standard. I've been out of the biz for about a year now. When I get back to dancing in a few months, I guess we'll both have to find the new norm.

    Yuck, you want to live in South Austin? Bleh! LOL! I lived in South Austin for several years before heading off to College Station for a few years (minus those few years I've lived here 25 years). When I moved back, I realized I like the far North Austin area much better.

    Of course, living in Austin all this time doesn't really make me much of an expert on Austin living. I absolutely loved Tarantino's "Death Proof", but I was one of a few that had never heard of Guero's or the Texas Chili Parlor. Hell, I hate going anywhere near downtown much less places like 6th Street.

    I never really thought traffic here was any worse than any other town. I've driven through morning and afternoon rush hour traffic in places like Dallas, Houston, Orlando, and Atlanta, and it all just plain sucks. Fortunately for me, the new toll road has made my life much, much easier up in these parts. While I'm not all that happy about paying a fee to drive them, being able to drive in excess of 90 mph on a practially empty stretch of highway is really, really fun.
    I'm a simple man, making my way through the universe.

    Based on my experiences while in Austin, I'd pick South over East ANY day. There's some funky stuff going on in the East...I don't like driving through there alone either!

    Oh...and traffic isn't any worse than Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. If I can drive it...believe me, you can! I'm a huge traffic-phobe from a tiny town, so you should be just fine!

    No way NW is the best 1 its cheaper and not ghetto. If you live south live way south unless you want to be around a crap load of college folk. And personally I hate austin clubs too many girls, crappy guys and just all around shi**ty but thats just my opinion. I prefer Dallas so much better and I grew up in Austin.

    Not where I've been! All I've managed to see is drug deals and prostitutes. Maybe I was still in the "bad" part of town! Eep!
