I consider Fat Tuesday to be a pseudo-holiday. It’s not important enough to close banks, post offices, and the stock market…but it is important enough for some people to party their a$$es off despite having to work the following day. Pseudo-Holidays also include St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, and Thanksgiving Eve.

Since these holidays are centered around drinking and partying, it’s a safe bet to assume that the bar scene will be lively from happy hour til close. The strip club scene, however, is a tad different. It won’t get busy until 11. Most patrons will already be wasted from sitting at their favorite watering hole since happy hour. Nevertheless, I still consider Pseudo-Holidays to be good days to work. I bring my favorite motivational reading material to read during the slow times. This way I am fresh and motivated to work the late night crowd!

I love the next 6 weeks of spring. Guys from across the nation plan golf/baseball weekend getaway trips so they can drink beer and relax in the sunshine. And most of the time the wives stay at home because they have no interest in watching baseball games, let alone games that don’t even “count” towards the season.

I am curious how the economy will affect attendance and ticket prices…and of course aftergame recreational spending at the strip clubs. There are three new teams to the Cactus League this year: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, and LA Dodgers. Although these three teams are located in the West Valley, it will still attract more fans overall. The season is also a week longer this year. Games Start next week and Team Schedules are posted here.  Read more... (481 words, estimated 1:55 mins reading time)

The Fed announced today that it downgraded the economic forecast for the year. It predicts that unemployment will be worse than it originally forecasted (its already at the highest point since the early 80s) and the economy will contract more than it did in 1991.

I was not dancing in the early 80s, nor in the early 90s, and the only comparison I have is the dot.com bust of 2001-2002. Which, according to the statistics, is NO comparison at all.  Read more... (587 words, estimated 2:21 mins reading time)

I’ve been scarce this week because I’m in the midst of getting ready for my annual Tax Day Party. Our accountant is actually clear across the other side of the Valley, so hubby and I try to make Tax Day a Date Day. At least I look forward to trying out a new restaurant in the Central Camelback Corridor every year. Hopefully this year I won’t get food poisoning! Nevertheless, a good accountant is worth the trip every year. He does work across state lines as well, so if you are a stripper and need some guidance, shoot me a message.  Read more...

It is a Dog-eat-Dog World up here. Everyone is pulling out whatever dirty tricks they have under their sleeve to keep their heads above water. It’s pathetic, and it makes for a very unpleasant work environment.

I was talking to two southern gentlemen last night. I sat with Billy first, but they had just arrived and needed some time to settle in. When I returned, Billy had a cracked out, flabby tattooed Betty Page-esque alternative chick on his lap, so I sat with Bobby. It was obvious that Billy wasn’t enjoying Betty’s company, and Bobby was gloating because he “got” me instead. When Betty asked Billy for a dance, he declined and said, “No, I don’t want a dance, but I’ll buy one for him if he wants one!” Typical customer act: redirect the girl he doesn’t want down a dead end street, hoping she’ll get up and leave.  Read more...
