Let's get down to the nitty gritty

Ok management knows how I feel about most things. I rarely keep my mouth closed and air my grievances. I feel this is appropriate due to my longevity at our humble little club. That being said they know that I feel it's highly inappropriate to charge SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much money. I would like to think of this as a list of things I would like to address at our next house meeting. Considering we have new management. I hate dealing with new management. I have to remember that I must just keep my head down keep grinding, and shut the fuck up, hand them their money and accept their seemingly insincere "thank you's" and they "have I told you how pretty you look todays" (Management please remember that I don't give a fuck what you think I look like, you care that I pay you and I care about the following)

1. Please don't take our bathroom doors off, I don't actually think that you can legally. I really feel that a work place is required to have bathroom doors. Does anyone know the answer to this question actually?

2. I think it's ridiculous for our bathroom sink to be out of commission for more than 24 hours.

3. Do we actually have a cleaning staff? Can you prove it?

4. How about getting the carpets done more frequently. We set our knees down on that and it's gross.

5. Can we start a no stripper shoes outside? I mean seriously sidewalks are disgusting!

6. I would really like to see some receipts, thanks guys. 

If you read this blog before I made it a little friendlier to the readers I'm sure you got a quick idea of how much it costs to work per month. I understand owners equity and that there are other people in the company that need to get paid and blah, blah, blah, but considering the amount that I pay and lets just assume that there are others that pay as much as I do per month, the club really isn't doing that bad. I've worked in other clubs that charge less and have a cleaner working environment.

I also realize that I have these little rants every now and again and I think about quitting and moving to a different club, but at the same time I know that I work best in my club, when management stays the fuck out of my business and I stay out of theirs.

Maybe I'll save everyone some time and energy and go bleach the fuck out of the locker room tomorrow during the day just for kicks, so I know that it was cleaned recently or I'll just start buying bleach wipes so everyone can clean their own station and the bottom of their shoes before they go on stage or something. Taking matters into my own hands might be a better idea than bitching about them.

Everyone always asks...

If I'm single, the answer is yes, yes, I am. I was going to write a blog post about all the reasons why I'm single then I thought that might be a little depressing so let us just go with I really don't have time, and I think it's in everyone's greatest interest if I remain single as then no one gets their feelings hurt.

So...Lets do the weekend highlights! YAY WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS.

I would like to thank everyone who came in on Thursday night, if I haven't thanked you personally yet I mean to. All of you truly started my work week of right, I could not ask for a better beginning it was great! In fact it was one of those work days that I may think about in the future when having a bad work day as a reminder that everyday is great in it's own way.

Friday. Friday was an exercise in "Oh shit I really need to get my A game on" and it worked it was a great reminder actually on how to work correctly. I think I've been slacking lately and that's been my problem with the past few weeks I just got lazy. I think this is due to the fact that I don't have a vacation planned. Therefore I have very few financial goals outside of tuition and last time I checked school was not a vacation, but it's almost as expensive as one sometimes. On that note I'm back to my old self again, which I will say feels great.

Saturday. Saturday I had the opportunity to be really mean to someone so I took the liberty to bind their arms and whisper things in their ears. Which brings me to the question of..."How scary am I?" Personally I don't like being restrained so that's terrifying in itself, but I would be horrified if I was staring at myself whispering. So I suppose if I had a twin I would be scared of them is really what I'm getting to. Beyond that it was another flawless evening.

Sunday. Sunday POT LUCK SUNDAY! I was the only person to bring anything, which is fine, I think it's great if anyone brings something home cooked, that's really the important part  that people aren't eating burgers. Sunday I realized that we have an influx of really stupid 19 year olds. All of whom I would love to hit in the face and if they continue to talk like idiots I just might. Or I will very politely remind them that no one in the locker room cares about their bedroom antics and they should save them to tell customers as that's more entertaining and apparently a selling point for some people.

On that note I suppose I will have to make it a goal this week to remind the 19 year olds to shut the fuck up. Especially the one that sounds like Fran from the nanny, she really makes me want to shut my head in a locker till the sound of her voice stops. It is in fact so annoying that the thought of it bothers me even when I'm not there.

Alright everyone have a great day and make good choices.

I'm the girl your mother warned you about

I suppose I should preface this with I've been extra sensitive lately. I sort of had a large chunk of goo dropped on me by my mother which usually causes a disruption in the force for a few days. 
There is a saying "You can't make a ho a housewife." I was having drinks with a friend of mine last night and we were lamenting the fact that I'm single. He turns to me from across my dining room table and to say "Bro nobody wants to marry a stripper" mind you I'm not in a relationship and in absolutely no rush to get married. He made a very good point. How exactly do you have a successful relationship with a stripper, let alone myself? I'm a hard lie to keep up, I'm a hard schedule to deal with. I eat at weird times, I sleep a lot. I know that I'm not alone in my schedule. I could be a bartender it could be the same only more socially acceptable and I would still be treated like a stripper by the same number of douche bags.

I also feel that he was right. I was engaged once for about 1 minute no joke it was one minute and I was told that what I did for a living would fuck up his future and how could they take me to any events. EXCUSE ME DUMBASS I'm a chameleon for a living I can talk about anything to anyone I would assume that this would make me more valuable, unfortunely in most cases I'm wrong.

I feel sometimes having had relationships while dancing that a lot of the fantasy that is portrayed in the club is expected to be transferred over to real life. Like, I'm suppose to party all the time, or it's expected that I'm unreliable (mind you sometimes I forget things but I'll be there if you need me), or that I am once again a "stupid stripper", I swear that, the stigma of this job is the hardest thing to shake, at moments it doesn't matter how much I study, or how good my grades are, or how many photo shoots I try to sneak into my spare time. It really might not be enough to prove that I could be a really great person. Let me rephrase UM I AM A REALLY GREAT PERSON. The unfortunate part is that any time I have been in a relationship their true feelings show through that they really would prefer it if I did just about anything besides this and I could keep my clothes on.
As for the making a ho a house wife, well you can't if your girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, ppaarrrtttty alllll the time, she probably will. Let me just state that I know how to have a good time but I don't want to party all the time, in fact I want to party rarely. It also doesn't take a stripper to be a ho. I have seen more woman at bars be completely degrading to themselves acting one million times dirtier than most strippers I know. Why do women do this to themselves they are giving the rest of us bad names. SERIOUSLY LADIES PUMP THE FUCKING BRAKES drink a pint of water or something.
So the question I pose to those of you married to stripper or ex strippers, or dating current or ex strippers. How the hell did you make it work? Or if you don't date one how do you think you would make it work?

The hot chick...no I'm not talking about the movie

First and foremost I would like to state that I have fallen in love with limonata all over again. I might have to pick up a case on my way home.
I was having coffee with one of my dear friends and her boyfriend this morning before class and before they had to head to work. We were at one of my favorite neighborhood spots, that is entirely beside the point. We have all been friends for a really long time. We were sitting talking about hot chicks and what exactly makes a hot chick. This conversation came up as the 19 yr old in my class asked me out to coffee and we were sort of laughing about it. Well my friends boyfriend commended him for having the balls to ask out the older super hot chick (hence the hot chick conversation). They both turned to me and said RED you are what makes a hot chick. I said that was absolutely ridiculous. The friends boyfriend turned to me and said "Just because you see yourself as the nerdy girl with glasses and braces does not mean that's who you are" Side note, no I will not post photos from that era of my life.
Anyway this got me really thinking about what the hell is a hot chick. Do I actually fit in that category? I always think about my personality first, I mean I think I'm fucking hilarious, I think I have great style, and I think I listen well. On so many occasions at work men have really said to me "You are too pretty to be here" My first question is what the hell does that mean? Should I be an executive of some company based solely on my looks? OK back to the hot chick question, in some ways I suppose I am I have boobs, I have an ass. I have a red flag for hair. Maybe I do fit in the category but hot chicks look like Lily from Showgirls and Charlie from Dreamgirls. They have impeccable make-up and and take forever to get ready. Mind you Lily is a good friend of mine and I think she is so insanely gorgeous. If you don't know her you should find her she's amazing. Charlie and I aren't really friends I just know about her. Anyway I can be out the door in 10 minutes even if it is a work day I have this make-up down pat. I don't even wear make-up outside of work.
On that note can I get a clarification on what exactly a hot girl is because google is just pulling up porn. Thanks!
