Sore-ness

Mar 13, 2006 11:03

Started working at velvet Lounge. It's been great so far. Albeit tiring as hell. 4 flights of stairs to get up to the VIP on the second floor, another flight to the dressing room.Yet 2 more to the roof top patio that will open in the summer. All in heels.

I have doubled my stage shows from 3-6+, as the club has no freelancers yet. There will maybe be 1 or 2 girls there freelancing.I've had to go on stage barefoot now as I simply cannot dance that many times in heels. Plus the stage is new and very slippery. My knees are a patchwork of bruises that look horrible under the black lights.I was never one of those girls who grinded on her knees, but the upstairs stage will be glass = NO POLE..WHAAAT'S a dancer with no POLE??!! SO I've had to get creative and negate myself to the fact that I will have to crawl around to kill time.Plus my thighs are killing me from all those stairs...

But the owner's are really taking care of us. The shift pay is more then any club around here, and for extra shows they compensate you. If you work 4-11 and stick around until close they double your pay. On weekends that's a nice chunk of cash that makes you not worry so much about getting private dances. Some of the older dancers just work to stage and don't bother trying to get private dances.

I've had my first really embarrassing run in with people I know. A handful of acquaitances showed up and were sitting right in perverts row when I had to go on stage. I just walked up to them and said " well this is embarrassing" I told them my close friend who we all know, had some issues with sex in general so to please be discreet. They all agreed and hopefully will keep their word.It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - they all cheered for me and came on stage with tips ( even though I was shaking the entire time I danced that set.)
