Finding a job in this economy can be difficult, but when your last employer was a strip club it can be next to impossible. The nonprofit group, “New Friends New Life” is a faith-based organization located in Dallas that assists women who want to leave the world of sexually-oriented businesses.
Bridgette/Jessica Rabbit and I realized that in the 9 years we have been internet SuperStripperFriends, we have never worked together. Ever. We have worked at the same clubs, and in the same cities….but never in the same club in the same city on the same night.
So when she texted me that her flight got in at 9pm from the upper Midwest where she had a booking last week, I immediately told her to high tale it to Treasures to help me entertain The Whale’s group. So she literally got off the plane, Stripperfied herself, clocked in by 11:30, and was just in time! The group really ended up only being two guys….and it was hilarious how the vultures were swarming around them when Jacko escorted them from the front door straight to VIP.

The drive to Vegas was hot and sunny. I learned a long time ago that long road trips with the convertible top down REALLY tires me out. The drive took 6 hours this time due to the tourist traffic across Hoover Dam. I hope that bridge is completed soon. Took a quick nap and clocked in at Treasures at 7:30 pm. I paid the offstage fee since I walked in the door with a 5 hour deal already closed.
The Whale was waiting. Read more...(538 words, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
One of the reasons that I stress every SuperStripper should pick one home club and stick with it, is to avoid the stress of wondering “Where should I work tonight?” or “I hope I don’t pick the wrong club tonight!”
About 5 years ago I worked at both Skin in Scottdale and Christie’s in Phoenix. Every night, as I was driving up the 101, I would have to make a choice….do I stay on the 101 and go
to Skin…or do I get on the 202 and go to Christie’s? It took a near accident one night as I changed lanes last minute to convince me that I needed to just pick one club, build up my social capital, and cultivate a base clientele. Read more...(342 words, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)
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.

Is not as packed as World of Concrete 2008. I think that is par for the course for many of the conventions this year. Apparently Obama’s infrastructure overhaul has created lots of government initiatives and incentives that the concrete companies are scrambling over. Hopefully, they will be sealing deals in the VIP room the next few nights.
I overcame my mental obstacle yesterday. Often, my inspirational posts are an effort to re-program my own thinking. I was frustrated because The Whale cancelled on me last minute, and I was expecting an easy 10 hours in VIP over a few nights. I know, boo-hoo, poor SuperStripper…cry your eyes out for me. I honestly wanted to just turn around and go home with a bunch of excuses on why it wasn’t worth it to stay. Read more...(238 words, estimated 57 secs reading time)
The slogan of The Para-lypmpics says it all. “What’s your excuse?”
If there is anything in your life that is not the way you want it to be, you and only you are responsible for changing it. It is up to YOU to create the solutions to your life, whether they are big or small. Each time you give an excuse, you dimish your respect, dignity, and integrity…and re-inforce the habit of making excuses in the future.
Effectively, making excuses is just an attempt to rationalize your lack of results. Read more...(151 words, estimated 36 secs reading time)
I am packing for the SEMA Convention in Vegas. This is one of the few “biggies”that I make sure to attend every year. I select which conventions to work by the number of attendees and the demographic of the average attendee. SEMA is the Automotive Aftermarket Parts Convention. It draws 160,000 attendees. The average attendee is male, likes cars, and usually likes girls. It’s a great combination. Similar to World of Concrete…there just aren’t enough girls to go around…so when the average attendee goes to a regular bar, it ends up being a bunch of guys sitting around looking at each other.

Overall, I had a GREAT week in Vegas. I had to adjust my attitude after The Whale left. It’s tough going from being paid very well to be sweet and charming… to negotiating with sleazy customers who say things like “Cmon…two for twenty….and can I touch your p-ssy?” Bleh!
So after my 5 hour minimum shift was complete, I met up with fellow Stripperwebbers DangerousDiva, Bridgette, and LuckyOne at Drai’s. We were a bit early, it was pretty dead at 3 am. By 4 am the dancefloor was packed. In walked the bachelor party I had danced for earlier that night at Treasures. Maybe they won’t recognize me I hoped. No such luck. We danced til 5:30am, then I went back to my room and slept hard!
To any of my readers who aren’t aware of the industry forums out there to network with other entertainers, be sure to check out www.exoticdancernet.com I am one of the charter members, and am excited about it’s launch. It requires identity verification and has private forums once you have been verified as a “stripper” or a “customer.” The spam and trolls are limited, and is overall a great community. Some of my best SuperStripperfriends are girls I met on www.stripperweb.com and it’s extinct predecessor stripperpower.com We giggle when people ask us how we met, “uh…the internet.”
