I'm Rubbin' It!

Yeah, I know I said I was gonna post more, but jeez! I'm busy y'all!

Actually, mostly I've been busy fighting off the crud that attacked my sinuses last week, and I refused to let it get to my chest. Lots of rest, lots of fluids, taking it easy instead of partying like a rock star off the wagon

I can understand how you're feeling D - I had many of the same feelings and thoughts when I did massage for Dean & Silvio's dance events. It was great practice, the guys were all very nice, plus I had the added benefit of charging for the massage ($1/minute). Even so, there was more than one night where I just wanted to be out on the floor, socializing and dancing with my friends. It was even harder when I was set up in a space that was not in view of people - I would spend many times just hanging out at the table, wanting a cocktail or to dance.

One thing I found helpful was to work in dance breaks for myself throughout the evening - so I was able to give my hands and arms some rest, but was also able to see friends and get in some dancing with them.

As far as compensation, I understand Matt wants to offer free massages - but has he considered the expense to you that is involved in ensuring people get free massages? Would he consider some sort of agreement to cover cab costs or something similar, so at least you know that you'll break even for the night going in. Or try priming the tip jar so guys are clued in that they can leave you something - some guys need it spelled out. (And sadly even paying customers don't always tip...)

All that being said, I'll have to come up next time and get on the table!! :-)

Hey, I should have put this on the original post. Matt does pay me a certain amount just to provide the overall service, but the tips (obviously) is what really help make the trip worth it. So I don't want to slight Matt...I certainly wouldn't do it (nor would anyone else) if the only thing we were counting on was the tips...it just seems odd to me that you wouldn't tip something at all, given the service, you know?

I'm mostly just grumbling because I'm sore and cranky (plus bitches is cheap). LOL

But your tips are very welcome...I may have to take dance breaks! :)

Glad to hear that. And I totally understand what you are saying about the tips - I can't fathom how someone could NOT tip at least something for a FREE massage!! ugh

Hope it goes better for ya next time!
