Won't all this travelling hurt you in re Private Parties back home here?
I know you are exclusive however can't it still affect your 'standing' with that agent being so unavailable due to all the travelling?
Just concerned (nothing more).
Plus if you want to stay in a hotel and not a hostel in Melbourne (why the hell do you want to go to really really cold Melbourne this time of year anyway?)... there is one called Kingsgate Hotel - http://www.kingsgatehotel.com.au/ - it's on King Street where all the clubs are located.
If you aren't afraid of a hostel, I love me King St Backpackers - http://www.kingstreetbackpackers.com.au/ .... tell John the night manager there I said HI!We're good mates now.
For Melbourne, ANY of the King Street clubs are good clubs TBH. Since you aren't afraid of hard work, any of them will proove lucrative for you.
For me personally I liked Goldfingers and Spearmint Rhino. Jai works at Centrefolds (and thus likes that club). ALee works at Mens Gallery ... and alot of girls like and dislike there. Showgirls Bar20 isn't that bad either.
Honestly Morr go give Townsville a go this time of year .... or even Darwin (and I'm not speaking about Honey Pot .. if you find your own way up there you can then work on your own terms and thus work with Catwalk and/or Sinsations)...
You can and always will make money in Melbourne just that it is kinda 'easier' when the weather isn't so crap.
Oh, to off-set costs, you may also want to arrange paid photo shoots whilst in Melbourne. There are alot of photographers in Melbourne (naturally) so you should be able to arrange a few paid shoots whilst down there......

I'm doing it at this time of year because of tax returns, silly.![]()
And PP back home is SLOOOW.. with Tori purchasing the company a LOT of girls are quitting. She's really hurting the place, it's kinda sad. I'm waiting for it to pick up.
And dude, this is only my second weekend away from work in 9 months.

Ah-ha! Playing it smart! Go girlfriend!
I just wish I wasn't moving home or else I would be doing the same damn thing.
All that accommodation, airfares, meals ... everything.. is deductible!
I still recommend Townsville and Darwin this time of year (based off recommendations from other dancers).
If I wasn't moving I would be going back to Darwin this month except I would be working for Catwalk (they offer an airfare and accommodation plus guaranteed income contract).
I know I want to give Townsville a go next month if possible.
oh.. and how come the ownership of the agency by Tori is having people quit? what is Tori doing that is making things different? i thought it was just a case of change of ownership and that's it.. nothing else much changed? feel free to PM if you want.

No, Tori's changing a lot of things. She really does mean best, but she's hurting all the girls. Did I ever rant about how she didn't tell me the guys wanted a waitress after a show until I was already there and it was 2am? Oh great, line her pockets for another $50... but make me work until 4am for another $100 whil she gets to sleep. She's making a lot of rants about customer care and a lot of it hurts us as a whole.
And I /want/ to go to Melbourne. I always have wanted to go. It's been my dream to go. So I might as well go. Townsville/Darwin whatever.. I want to see Melbourne.

Well, I gave you the information for Melbourne.
I still recommend trying to line up some paid photo shoots whilst down there on top of working in the clubs to off-set the costs since money can be rather 'tight' at the moment. It's more profitable to work Spring/Summer/Autumn.
Tho' the cold can sometimes make Melbourne seem pretty.
King St is within the CBD so you can get anywhere from there due to all the trams and trains.

It won't be in a month when the tax returns come in!
I will probably line up some Picture shoots while I'm down there. I need more lingerie though... speaking of which I gotta see when my interview is coming in.

Yey this is going to be cool.
Ok I work at CF's as GCG mentioned.
Pros:
low house fees: sun - wed free
thur - sat $30
nice girls and management
nice venue
Cons:
prob not up there with the earning potential of other clubs due to it not being as established and not as many customers through the door
strict dress code - considered a gown club. must wear either short or long dress, can wear 2 piece if skirt is long (to the ankles pretty much), no prints, no see-through, open-toe stiletto only.
No set finishing time!! You can literally be there from 8pm til 6:30am. You can arrange earlier finish times with Liz but its up to her whether she lets u.
I paid a visit to Bar20 and goldfingers recently.
Bar20 is BUSY. Apparently it is the best $$$$ right now. On thursday nnight at 4am they were as busy as CF is on a saturday night at about 1am. I couldn't believe it and the other clubs were already closed.
Their house fee is $50 and dress code is pretty much whatever.
I liked goldfingers better in the way that it was set up.





Wanna try Bar20 together? (Well, we can go in seperate but work same days)

Yep! I would love to try it.
I got a private dance there and it was ........... hmmm full on to say the least. That scared me a little.
I spoke to some of the dancers at goldies and bar20 and if they were telling the truth (which i think they were) I am definately not getting paid what i should be at CF.





How does July 5,6,7 sound? I'm going to call tomorrow and see if they'll let me work those days.
Man... around the country hopping is FUN!

Thursday-Saturday. I'll probably do the same thing I did in Adelaide and stay Sun/Mon so I can thus spend all the money I made antiquing. Did I mention I had to buy a new suitcase when I was in Adelaide? Pft.

Sounds good to me!!
Flickad?? still good for shopping.
Oh do u girls like poached eggs? That's my fav breakfast. This sat some of the girls from CF and I are going for breakfast in lygon st for poached eggs straight after work, if it's good it might have to be a regular thing.





Ooooh poached eggs sounds good especially after a hard night's word. With some toast!

Yep Im doing it this sat. If the place is good we can go there. I can never sleep after work without eating.




Hey Guys ... heading back to Melbourne in July. Been up in Cairns the last few months (working on and off) its been good but just WAY too many girls up here now. There is a new club opening up here soon (just so ya know for future referance). Same owner but it might spread the girls out a little.
GCG - my friend works on and off in Townsville but has had to change plans as they are getting pretty full too and unlike The Club International in Cairns the guys at Sante Fe in Twnsv have a max number of girls they will let work each night ... it sounds good there but my advice to you is book in as soon as you know when you want to go!
I am glad that the situation at CFs has been clarified, I was thinking of working there but it really doesn't sound like it is worth it! Might have to give Bar 20 or Spearmint a go ... sounds like there will be a few of us there at the same time, might see you Jai and Mor out in the early AM over eggs and toast! ;-)




Yay for shopping!
King Street is the place to go for the biggest money. Do you prefer a gown club or one that's more flexible with what you wear? In terms of gown clubs, there's good money to be made at Men's Gallery and Spearmint Rhino, from what I hear. You can bank at Bar 20, which is a place where it's hard to get hired, but easy to earn once you're in (I never was, not having the type of look Bar20 management tend to hire. I heard this from other girls in the know). A friend of mine did quite well at Goldfinger's, which is also not gown. And jaizaine does well at Centrefolds (new-ish club, gown-only), though it's probably not as lucrative as the other King Street clubs, since it's not as well-established (as jai pointed out).





Do I have the look for Bar20?![]()

Based on your photos, I don't see why they wouldn't hire you, but I'm not a manager, so that's just my guess. In general I think what they don't like about me along most of King Street are the piercings (though I've taken a few out since I last went club-shopping). I've also got unusual features (nose being one), and the higher-end clubs tend to like more conventionally pretty girls. They tend not to like alternative-looking girls or girls who aren't perfectly groomed, so make sure you look your very best (and not too far outside the mainstream) when you apply for work.
I really think you'll get hired, though. You're much much prettier than the two Bar20 girls I knew (and you also look well-groomed and are free of facial piercings).





I'll see if I can pony up for my contacts before then. or just not wear to audition - seeing as they tend to sell me when actually dancing.

I've applied at Bar20 two or three times in the last couple of years. What they get you to do is fill out an application form and if they like you, they get back to you. Be sure to have your driver's license or other photo ID and ABN on you when you apply. They check both those things.
