I did not have time to open up my laptop all day yesterday. I had people over Friday night and we stayed up around the fire until about 2 am.....then I was busy all day yesterday with stuff and then I actually went to work too. I just got home from work, washed my face.....it's 5 16 am.
So rules.....I love rules at work as long as they're not silly. Like you can't wear black, you have to have your make up done by the in house "make up artist" so you end up looking like a drag queen, or you can't wear shoes without an ankle strap (a problem I encountered at a club in NYC) and stuff like that. I'm talking about rules regarding how to conduct yourself. The clearer and stricter the rules and the more they are actually enforced the better I usually do better, because I never ever compete with any nasty stuff that goes on (doesn't happen in all strip clubs but yes it does happen in some). I don't even think that using the word compete is right. It's not about "competition", I don't have to compete and I won't and I don't do anything wrong or yucky. I like to feel good about myself when I wake up.
The place I worked at in Kodiak had rules. They owners told me that their plan is to run a classy place and build up a good reputation (usually a smart way to run an adult oriented business in a small town). I am all for classy and clean. Hands to the side during lap dances, that worked well. I had no problems whatsoever with anyone trying to grab me and I did not see any of the other girls allow touching. Sure a hug but no groping whatsoever.
We did have an issue the first couple of nights with people having their phones out, trying to and actually taking pics. I did see that some pictures got taken of the girls and one guy tried to be sneaky and film me while I was on stage and then tried to deny that he did it when I confronted him about it. Well, he did film and it got taken care of. Look, do not take pictures or video of the dancers, just don't. I have a ton of pics of myself from work and in all kinds of environments in the blog but those are pics that I post myself, hence I am consenting to the pics plus if I took the pic of myself it belongs to me. Copyright you know, it clearly states that at the blogs start page. Any other pics of me taken by a photographer belongs to either me and/or the photographer depending on our agreement.
When people I don't know take pics of me, I also do not know or have any control over where the pic might end up and in what context and I'm not OK with that. Some girls keep the fact that they are doing this line of work a secret from family and friends for whatever reasons, so for them it is very important that no pictures of them at work appear anywhere. This has to be respected and most clubs take the no pictures very seriously. You might get asked to leave and in a not so friendly way either. It took a few days and us girls pressing the issue to get this point across but it worked.
No illegal drugs. I absolutely agree. I am for the legalization of all drugs actually. But you do them at your spare time. I have done drugs but never at work. I am at work to work and I feel that I need to be in control of the situation, plus why would I waste my fun drug moments (that does not happen often) at work when I could be somewhere else dancing to great music or staring at the stars and communicating with nature? I do not want to work with girls that are high and act crazy due to drug use. It's one thing if they smoke weed (I don't) but when you work with people that abuse stuff like meth, then you are asking for trouble. Sure, some people are really good at hiding their drug use but others.....not so much. And when it starts to show in your appearance and in your twitching face, well then it's just bad. And it also looks really bad to have girls like that working in a club, especially if you want to be considered a nice place. So yes, drug test all you want. It's a great way to keep the every day habitual druggies away. I don't care if you do drugs, just don't do them at work.

The LA Boheme in Denver didn't like my blinky shoes, my hair, or my lack of whore face, but I had two people ask me for dances when I auditioned on stage.
Excessive rules make the job miserable.

La Boheme in Denver.....been curios about that club....I worked at Shotgun Willies in Denver where for a while they tried to make me and my friend Julia utilize the in house make up "artist" services for the cost of $20. We ended up looking way overdone....like drag queen style and that's just not cute. After a few nights we told them we were perfectly capable of applying our own make up. Thanks but nobody wants to wear a MAC force field on the face unless you have something to hide.

They were rather confused at that place....remember the dances we had to learn one afternoon from an angry Carl?
Fun times at Shothun's!
