Staying Home
I thought I was going to work last night but the later it got in the day the lazier I felt so I ended up staying home. I'm always like that.......plan on working and then around 5-6 pm I start feeling tired, maybe in need of a nap, or in need of reading a book or cuddling up with Chhaya, so if I'm still undecided by 8 pm and don't have one foot in the shower by 8 15 the latest I'm ending up staying home. When you don't have a schedule it's so tempting and so easy to stay home instead. When I travel for work though I'm really focused and good at working every night.
Instead I took a nice evening walk. Need to take advantage of the late night light while its still here. I love it. I get asked all the time if it bothers me. The light until late that is. Not at all, I wish it was like this year round.

Anyhow, I did work the weekend and believe it or not but my horoscope for Saturday was right on the money regarding the income. Stages were decent. That is $100 plus laying on the floor right there before I made order of the bills, mostly one dollar bills and some fives.

In some clubs you don't get tipped anything on stage and by that I mean zero. But you usually make up for it by doing lap dances. If you don't, I suggest you find a different club. Here in AK stage tips are decent. Sure, some nights you don't make much if there are not many people in the club but in general you get OK stage money, which is good. I went to work before and did stage only, meaning no lap dances and went home with a few hundred. But I also went to work and left with NOTHING and with nothing that is exactly what I mean. And yes, that has happened more than once. And then there are clubs where the dancers make a lot on stage. With a lot I mean A LOT. Hundreds.....sometimes thousands of dollars. Well, at least that's what the dancers claim. But those clubs are from what I understand some black clubs in Atlanta and some other club in Miami where only (I think?) black girls dance. I could never work there because they would kill me and rip my hair out to use for a weave, cause I'm not black. God forbid a white girl takes a black guys money in the strip club. The black girls HATE that but it's OK if white guys give black girls money. The typical accepted racism prevalent on an every day basis here in America. Also, I do not know how to shake my butt, at all. My twerk don't work and I don't have a PHAT behind, so no rich rapper with money to throw around would like me anyways. But that's OK, I am completely happy with that fact. Ass shaking is NOT my style. And lastly, getting my backside slapped hard all night long would get annoying really fast.
Anyhow, let me see if I can recall anything noteworthy that happened at work over the weekend......
So after I got off stage and put my money away and went out on the floor a guy that was sitting and chatting with another girl comes up to me. Looking really serious and with an intense stare in his eyes he proceeds to tell me that he gave me a $5 bill when I was on stage and that he thinks that I should smile at him and sit down and talk to him after that. The first thing I did was to offer him his $5 back, I really do not have energy for that......please just take your money back and leave me alone, I really don't need your $5. I told him that there were a lot of people on the stage, I can't always keep track of who gives me money and how much. And I also told him that he was sitting and talking to a girl already. Since I am polite I will not go and sit down and butt in on their conversation. I am usually really good at saying thank you for my tips I should add here but sometimes I can't keep up with everybody. This man was really offended. OK then......whatever.
Some other "funny" type told me after putting up ONE dollar on stage that I was only allowed to pick it up not using my hands or my mouth. So that leaves what exactly? My ass cheeks?
I quickly informed him that the last time I checked we were in the US and not Thailand.
Also that he needed to shut his trap and not give me any instructions. You can put a $100 on stage and I would not take that bill with my mouth (tacky and gross) and certainly not with my private parts. Really now! I am not trained in those fine picking up money techniques.
But the winner was the guy from Switzerland that sat down next to me. Talked to me for a few minutes, he was very polite, looked around the room, shook his head and said, "Men have problems". I started laughing, nodded my head in affirmation and said, "YES, men DO have problems!" GREAT observation on his part and so very true!
