    To all you guys who are opposed to her dancing -- dude, just let her dance lol! A harsh money/living situation alone should be enough of a reason for her to dance. Maybe not the best reason for her to dance longterm, but at least temporarily so that she can get a SAFE place to live and find a better job than the piece-of-shit $6.75/hr job she has now.

    Dude she said that she was staying at a homeless shelter...have you heard about how unsafe and crude those places are? Admittedly I've never actually seen one, but I have a few close friends who were sociology majors in college and did their internships at one. And the shelter they interned at was actually a lot nicer than others, because it was church run. But that's not saying much. Church shelters, esp city shelters, are HORRIBLE places. Although she might have sounded a bit on a "high horse" when she said that she was well educated yet forced to inhabit a shelter with druggies and pregnant girls, I can DEFINITELY see her point. She was a good girl, went to school, tried real hard, and now is experiencing a HUGE slap in the face from having to stay at a shelter with a bunch of deadbeats. I read somewhere that staying at a shelter can actually drive someone DOWN. If dancing, even for just a few weeks, is her ticket out of the shelter...by all means, DO IT! Even golddigging some guy would be better than a shelter, probably.

    And as far as the 15hr/week, $6.75/hr job goes...yeah 15 hrs/week isn't exactly "busting her ass," but who says she has a choice about the work hours? I bet she'd LOVE to get a better job than what she has, or at least be granted more hours at her current job, but the job market really sucks right now...esp for new college grads lacking entry level experience or internships. She's probably only working the $6.75/hr job until she finds something better.

    Most dead-end "bullshit jobs" are infamous for giving very small work hours. I already told you guys about M--k, and how he was stuck working at Acme Supermarket for a few YEARS after college before he found something else. He'd already been at Acme for a solid year and a half by the time he graduated, yet they only gave him 25 hrs/week. It took him working there for over THREE YEARS before they allowed him full-time hours! Most dead end jobs do that, because they're too cheap to pay out benefits or overtime. Also, they have a big slew of high school employees, so they only have limited hours available to give.

    Jobwise, I've been in the same spot as M--k and Moonjade6. I've given "bullshit jobs" an open, unlimited availability and a request for full-time hours...just to be given 20 hr workweeks, even after being there for a while. I've wished and wanted and tried really hard to find a desk job, just to be rejected or have my resume end up in the garbage can due to lack of experience(even though I have a typing speed of nearly 100wpm). And during this difficult time in my life, my parents added insult to injury to it by falsely accusing me of being "lazy"(even though I really was applying to a lot of places), and kicking me out when they knew that I had no means to support myself. Luckily though I had friends that were more than helpful to me or I coulda ended up at a cruddy shelter. Yeah I didn't like the idea of dancing very much, but I'm glad I did it back then, because it helped me out a LOT. I did the dancing thing just until I was established and had other job prospects lined up.

    I look at the nice full-time "real" job that I hold now, and I wonder if I woulda gotten this job if it hadn't been for becomming more confident and established in life(having my own place, reliable transportation, nice office attire, some prior experience that I obtained through a FRIEND THAT I MET AT ONE OF THE STRIP CLUBS I WORKED AT, etc). If I ended up staying at a grocery store or living in a shelter, I bet my esteem woulda gone down the gutter and I woulda never been able to get the job I have today. I think if this girl keeps trying out at clubs, perhaps she can do the same thing that I did. So let's show her support(not that you guys are being unsupportive or anything bad though).

    That is all. Sorry for writing such a novel...but this thread hit a bit of a chord with me.

    OH yeah, because panhandling is so much more respectable than dancing. At least dancers provide the service of entertainment/lapdancing/company to PL's. Bums don't do anything but annoy people into bribing them enough nickels and quarters so they'll go away.

    Don't become a panhandler. They're some of the most hated people in America(other than K-fed and GW Bush LOL).

    eh, in this town panhandlers make like 300 a day. they don't care what anyone thinks of them as they go home (yes, home-- actual apartment/house) and count their money.

    it's quite like stripping-- there are those who want it to be considered a job that they work hard at and deserve respectful consideration for (and save their money), and there are those who just want enough money for drugs or drink or who think there's no other way they can get money.

    why is stripping for 300 such a great choice when she could have turned a few tricks for the same money and had the cash in about 2 hours? there's no guarantee she could have gotten the money together at any given night hustling at the club, after all.

    i suggested she not strip because 300 dollars in 1.5 weeks is just not that much money to take up stripping specifically to earn. 3000 dollars would have made more sense.

    i have never had trouble getting 300-500 dollars together in 1-2 weeks using the magic of temp agencies. and i'm from the 'last hired, first fired' ethnic group.

    but in any case, it's no matter, the OP either borrowed the money or is dancing now, and presumably settled out her debts.

    um, do you know how many people look down on strippers in just the same way?that isnt a good argument to make.

    I dunno.... desperation can lead girls to act pretty foolishly. I just hope she doesn't regret what she does later on.

    Good luck, I guess.

    I think the OP intended to say that she needs at least $300 in the next 1.5 weeks...I don't think she expects it to take 1.5 weeks to make $300. But anyway, she will eventually need much more than $300 very soon. She will need money for future months of rent, and for a possible security deposit, and other stuff.

    There is no guarantee that she'll be able to even get this $300 apartment. What if the apartment gets given to someone else in the next 1.5 weeks?(that happened to a friend of mine...he told the landlord he wanted the apartment and had the money upfront, but then the landlord dicked him around by giving the apartment to someone else) What if the landlord checks her credit and rental references, and decides that she needs to pay an extra security deposit upfront? She will need a steady flow of money...probably a lot more than any 15hr/week $6.75/hr job could provide for her. That's why stripping would be a good idea for her, because it would not only allow her to earn the $300 relatively quickly, but it'd allow her to earn even more money for other soon-to-arise living expenses plus savings. She could strip for a few weeks while jobsearching to stabilize herself, and then if she finds a lucrative job within that time, she could easily say goodbye to stripping and wouldn't have to worry about it again(or until she falls upon possible hard times in the future).

    That is very true. However, I still think that people look down on panhandlers worse than they look at strippers. At least in the US, there seems to be more discrimination against homeless people than strippers.

    It is true that some panhandlers are actually well-to-do people with homes that are "hustling" and making panhandling their job. However, people do not see them and think that they are doing good for themselves. Whether these "successful panhandlers" have a home or not, people will see them as unshowered homeless people. But that's the point...because if people didn't see the panhandlers as destitute homeless people, then they wouldn't give any money to them.

    Another reason why people generally dislike homeless people is because homeless people are viewed as an annoyance that are hanging around street corners or in front of 7-11s whether you want them there or not. With strippers, however, they remain in their strip clubs, where YOU choose to come see THEM by entering the strip club and paying the admission fee(if there is one). Strip club customers can't justifiably grumble about strippers asking them for $1s, since they chose to enter the strip club on their own accord.

    Therefore, if I had to pick my poison, I'd much rather have the uber-conservative folks from my hometown discover me at a strip club, than bummin on a street corner.

    Hopefully she's worked everything out by now, but not necessarily. Her last post was from only 2 days ago, and it was to report that she didn't fare as well as hoped at the strip club audition/amateur contest. Unless her ex or someone else took her in, I doubt she'd get everything worked out in only 2 days. But let's hope that she either came upon some good luck, or got hired by a club and is making decent money as a newbie dancer. I really hope she gets out of the shelter soon(if she hasn't already), because those places are not very safe or secure.

    huh, the OP appears to somehow have moved to madison, WI, apparently still living with her now ex-bf (not clear, but she refers to him not letting her use his computer, and that wouldn't be very relevant if he was in jersey and she was in madison). so whatever highly confusing and now even more baffling events have happened to her, she can afford to keep trying to dance, which was what she really wanted. the money (as ever) was just an excuse, and not her true motive. for whatever reason, she made a claim about needing cash to make her decision to choose dancing more 'respectable' or whatever (since the story and subsequent move remain completely confusing in their details).

    ironically, all this clarifies, since it was never about getting money in a set number of days in the first place. i misunderstood the original premise.

    moonjade,


    If you need quick money consider hosting strip games online. That's what I do when I need a quick buck and don't feel like getting out of bed.


    You need to have a computer (PC), webcam and fast internet connection.

    Here is the site that I use:

    http://www.ustrippoker.com


    The site is always looking for girls who play strip games: poker, black jack, truth or dare, trivia, checkers, etc.

    No gambling required.


    What I like about this particular site is that they actually advertise your games by emailing an announcemnt to their 8000+ mailing list. So, you get a quick response. The split is 58/42. The girls get 58% of the gross the games generate.


    Since games are multi-player you can get several paying customers in one game.
    You will not get rich but you can clear $800-$1000 /mo working part time when you want to.



    If you want to give it a try email their webmaster by filling out their CONTACT from
    in the subject line enter the following:

    Hostess-Upgrade

    All the best,

    Jessica
    p.s. I'm not sure if this post is against the rules of the site. If it is ... my appology. I just wanted to help Moonjade with her problem.

    I didn't mean to worry/confuse everyone.

    No, my dancing didn't go well, but on Wednesday, I worked my charms and immediately got a full-time job at a clothing store. They pay 7.25 an hour, and I'm guaranteed at leat 30+ hours a week. I'm still at the Salvation Army, and it still sucks, but I'm working 57 hours this week (with both jobs put together), so I'll be making a BUTTLOAD of moola.

    But I still thought that the one night I went topless dancing was really fun, and I might do amateur night again.

    I'm glad that you're doing better. However, I strongly advise you not to do amateur nights. You are better off just watching the girls and then auditioning at the club of your choosing. Just watch and learn, no one expects you to be super amazing at first (but who knows you might be) just do your best and you will be fine. Amateur nights, IMO, are a waste of time.

    I wish you the best.
