Stripper Superstitions

Tonight was so odd. Like truly just odd shit happened. No one was in a good mood. Sometimes while I'm working get this strange feeling like the club feels foreign to me or looks different even though I know damn well it doesn't and I know my way around that place in the dark better than my own home.

All the oddness tonight had me thinking of all the weird superstitious things that we as strippers do,  or that I personally do.

1. Never put your shoes on the table or the counter.
2. Don't put your money on the floor.
3. I usually wear a karma necklace, I haven't this weekend and that might be what's messing with my whole stripper thang.
4. Always carry a dollar, money multiples so always have some to start.
4a. Somewhere along the way I acquired some ripped twenties, probably from someone who thought it would be okay to pay for a service with them. For some reason I used to carry them around in my purse for good luck. I should start doing that again. Right now I'm carrying a two dollar bill instead.
5. We all have a lucky outfit of some sort.
6. Don't brag about having money, because it won't continue.
7. Respect your money. I know it sounds silly but really be nice to it, so it continues to be nice to you.

Last but not least and my favorite.
The Stripper Deities, my favorite good luck charm, I get asked about them a lot, who they really are, they are no one in particular, it's just putting wishes and requests and funny blurbs out into the universe. Writing to them always makes me laugh and typically puts me in a better mood, also it's the signal to work. That I can no longer procrastinate and hide behind a curtain, that I red, need to bust out into shark mode.
