Additional Information
I have worked at this club twice now, the first time was going wonderfully until I went out of town and ended up breaking my leg in a very bad car accident. When I phoned them to tell them I wouldn't be comming to work they tried to make me work on new years eve (becuase I would miss the annual anniversary party in mid nov.) well I got fired because i was in a CAST and couldn't work. A year goes by and I go and get my job back, the fees are just as high as i can remember and the managment is just as terrible... making girls cry and being unreasonable with girls who work there on a normal basis that drive from out of town. this is how things run there if you work 2 nights a week or less tip out is $60 if you work 3 nights a week or more your fee is $ 45 5 nights a week your free all next week all house fee's must be paid my midnight a shed. is required every week ***IF YOU MISS YOUR SHIFT THEY WIILL CHARGE YOU FOR THAT NIGHT OF WORK EX... ON THE SHED. FOR SATURDAY AND DIDN'T SHOW... THE NEXT TIME U WORK YOU WILL PAY 120 if you call ahead of time and shed a make-up day for a slow night they will wave the fee but if for some reason u miss your make up day its 120 plus your 60 for that night ** this could make it hard for out of towners (like myself) tip out at the end of everynight is $ 30 dollars for bouncers its $ 10 dollars for the dj -- tip pat extra he's AMAZING... LUKE however sucks you also have to pay $4 for valay parking... and they don't even start your car and in the winter its almost necessary ( u spend 15 minutes in your cold-ass car waiting for it to heat up) there is a house mom/dad who will do you make-up and hair (for a charge of course) and its a manditory $10 for them as well everynight there is a manditory meeting EVERYNIGHT and you usually wont leave work until after 3:00am, i am fine with this however because this ensures that no crazy people are waiting for you outside to fallow you home I am a clean dancer and the men that come in here honestly look for someone will be more FLEXABLE, they love to grab brest and even pussy without asking you first... its expected (in fact when i was hired they told me that people where allowed to touch me... i don't let them however) Dances start at $30 a song in the back $300 for 1/2 hour -- house keeps $ 100 u keep $ 200 $600 for an hour -- house keeps $200 u keep $400 there are a lot of girls that work here, lots of fake boobs and lots of carreer strippers !! some girls are VERY serious when it comes to there money and will bitch you out for talking to a guy (even if its your first day and u had no idea). Over all the girls are nice though... When i worked here in 2007 i had no problems making $600 on a slow night, when i went back however i had problems paying my tip-out everynight (which can get you into trouble quckely... they are NOT flex about it either... even if its dead pull your tip out of your own pocket... you do not want to be in debt there!!

I've been working her for the past 6 months and it's a good club. From what I've heard it's not really any different than it was before it changed ownership. Fees are high and the required hourly features can be a pain but all and all it's a good club. They've been cleaning it up and being harder on the girls as far as what they can do, which is a good thing, it means everyone isn't having to do more than they should just to sell a dance. Lately it's been slow but hopefully will pick up for the holidays.

Dancer Quality: 7-8 Customers: Mixed
Fees: Extreme Dances per Customer: 5+ Selling dances: You have to hustle
Hiring Tips: Bring a gown, prepare to work after audition
Additional Information
Audition: Try to come in around 7pm. Night shift is 7pm-2am. I don't know much about the day shift. 11:30am-7pm You will audition on the far corner satellite stage. If you can come in as a patron a few nights before, to check the place out first.. that might make the audition easier. I got reprimanded for taking tips during my audition. Up to you. I didn't know I wasn't allowed! After the audition I was whisked away to the back office to do the paperwork. Since I've started I've gone back to re-read the contract/rules because there were many and I was sick of getting reprimanded....LIKE you cannot carry a drink across the room. A customer or waitress must do it. One main stage, three satellite stages. Clothing: Must own one beaded/sequined gown for "Full dress" When all the girls walk down and are introduced by the DJ (Thurs-Sat nights). And for anniversary party in November. Otherwise, those types and other gowns are okay. If above the knee, you must wear thigh highs. Garters are to be worn for your money. They are supposed to be at your thigh, not your ankle. During football season, wear NFL Jerseys/cheerleader outfits instead of gowns on Sunday and Monday nights. Now Sundays are Lingerie nights. Schedule and house fees: If you work 3 days or less a week (Monday-Sunday), you pay $60 house fees the following week. Really, they prefer you to work 4 days and anything less than 3 is usually not permitted. If you work 4 days: $45. If you work 5 days: Free. If you can't come in on a scheduled day you must call in!!! Or you will pay for the house fee for the date you were a "no-show". You MUST walk down at 7pm. If you don't you have to pay an additional $15 house fee that night for being late. You must be there by 8pm for your shift to count. TIP OUT: Usually a minimum of $35 per night. Meeting: After the club closes. If you don't stay then it doesn't count as a worked shift...and you know what that means...higher fees the next week! This is when you get any "feature money" back, and I believe champagne commission. Dances: $15 Table: ($10 on Sundays). NO CONTACT!!!! $30 (House gets $10)Private dance room (couch room/VIP). CONTACT. How much? Depends on you but according to the contract: No touching the breast or genital areas. The new private dance room opened in December. It's really nice. $300 is a half hour room in there: House gets $100 $600 is the hour room. Customer must be on the list. House gets $200 If you sell champagne, you get comission. (not for the cheaper stuff). I don't sell it so I am sorry I don't know much about it. Golden dollars; If customer is out of $ and doesn't have an ATM card or doesn't know his pin number for the credit card, he can purchase Golden dollars. $15 increments. You turn these in at the end of the night and get $13.50 for each one. Sounds cheap but if TDH didn't offer it, the customer would go home and you'd loose out on $. Make sense? TDH has to pay credit card fees for this service, and we are reimbursing them basically. Tip the girls that "change you out". Features: 7pm: TWO FOR ONE dances. Table or VIP Then starting at 9pm, one every hour. 2 VIP dances for $40 (house gets $20) or two table for $30 (house gets $15) and a souvenier is given for both type of dances. If you don't want to sell the features you can "BUY OUT" for $45. If you try to sell and don't sell, you must pay $5 per feature. This will be confusing, but if you sell 3, but not the other 2, you get your $10 back for the two ones you didn't sell. If you sell ALL 5, you get no money back because you made a profit. If you sell one, you basically "break even" and don't get any money, but you don't loose any. Music: DJ's are receptive to your tastes and requests. You can bring in your own. If you are feature entertainer you can wear other costumes and do floor work. Bouncers, waitresses, bartenders: Pretty cool. Dance style: Strutting mostly. Little pole work. Not supposed to do pole work on side stages (not stable) Not allowed to get on floor! Feel free to PM me.

Hiring Tips: Wear make-up, be thin or average build, bring a gown, no jeans
Additional Information
Auditions: Show up between 6-7, 7 weekends. Dance on satellite stage. If hired (most likely) you have the option of working that evening. Schedule/House Fees: You work a mandatory 4 days, unless you are in school or have a full-time job, then it's 3. If you no-show (you can call and switch days for no fee) it's only a $45 fee plus the fee for the night you show, of course. If you work less than the scheduled days there is an additional 5 rollover fee. If you work any 5 nights the next week's house fees are free (this is a new thing). Fees: Must get there at 7 for walk-down (fully-dressed) and it's a $45 house fee then. If you get there before 8 it's $60. Can't be there more then 15 min after 8, which will be a $75 House Fee. House Dad/Mom is great. They get $5-$20 depending if they do your make-up or hair. Bouncers get at least $3+ (usually 5 bouncers and a couch room attendant), DJ $10+, valet $4+. There are 5 features, must sell 3 or pay $15, or $5 for ones not sold. These are $30 for 2 table or $40 for 2 couch dances (you keep 1/2) and a prize. Club keeps 1/3 of couch room and VIP and you get $100 champagne commission if the bottle is $265 or more. They get a small percentage also if customer uses Golden $. Think $13.50 instead of $15. Rules: Need to stay for meeting, which may be at 2:30 or 3:00. Every month a Doll of Thee Month is selected. They get house fee discounts. Of these 12 a Doll of the Year is selected. Must attend Anniversary (November 11) party in (think Cache) dress or suspended until Feburary. There is also an annual Christmas Party to attend. Dress: Floor length gowns, must cover knees and have detail if not floor-length. If it does not cover knees, must wear thigh-highs and be a cocktail dress. No costumes, except Halloween. Dress professionally when coming into work. Stage: Main stage, 2 poles, no main pole, little pole work, 3 songs. 3 satellite stages (cage-style) 3 songs. Usually can work out songs and schedules with DJs. Restaurant: The club does serve food. Dancers: Anywhere from 15-40 a night about 100 total rotate the night shift. Never had a problem and get along well with all co-workers. Been in a few tiffs with managers though (my fault, I admit). Hours: Club opens for lunch at 11:00 AM and dayshift ends at 7:00 PM(I know little about dayshift, but to not work it :P ). The club closes at 2:00 PM. I've worked there a year, so if you have further questions feel free to PM me ;D , I'm quite friendly and welcome inquiries.

This club is on the A list. CLASSY!!!As far as money goes...this club is steady..and the money is excellent however here's the catch...... There are alot of rules and the tip out can get out of control-you make your own shedule 2 weeks in advance and if you don't show up they will charge you $60.00 every day you miss!!! You have to tip the valet, 5 floor men, couch room guy, DJ, and house dad/mom. There are beautiful women everywhere. Competition is extreme. There's even a vivid porn star that works there regulary. But there are many customers on business and in general. Girls are stuck up- got to get to know them before they talk to you or untill they are drunk. You must cover up tatoos w/ make up they provide you with and no piercings. Except belly button. Can't wear jeans to work either. Can't leave early and there's a meeting every night at 3:00 and it's manditary. They also have awards: doll of the month and doll of the year and they put there picture up and get cheaper tip out for that month. Clothing :Must wear cocktail dresses to the knee or thigh highs must be wore with them. Or long dresses. Each night during show time and christmas party and aniversary partys long beaded and sequence gowns must be worn. You wonder why they call this place the doll house? Because they mold you into a Barbie. Being that i am alternative, i had to change my style of clothing and had to take out my facial percing very night i worked and cover up both my tatoos!!! And the cover up would get all over the customers!!!!
