Welcome to Chaos !!

Week 5.....The slimy guy came in Friday (and Saturday). He can't get enough of us. Friday night he declared to me that I would not be able to handle him. Like who said that I would want to? No way ever. He got pretty drunk as usual and at one point he decided that trying to walk into our dressing room would be a good idea. He did not make it far. And on his way out of the club, when he finally decided to leave he walked by me while I was sitting with two of my co workers and he pointed at me and said that I am the devil. Ok then. Let's see how long before he gets to take a break from us, as in getting 86d.
Saturday was a very loud night, people drinking and a lot of making noise. It took until my last time on stage right before closing to have a decent stage set. 
Lavender that usually only smiles no matter what, actually yelled at people twice for just standing around and looking for free. A couple stood by the stage while she was dancing and stared at her, so she smiled at them and friendly motioned to them to sit down and join her and they shuddered like NO WAY EWWWW and continued staring at her so she yelled at them to go away. If you are standing next to the stage looking at the girls or sitting at the stage you have to tip the dancers. If you are sitting away from the stage minding your own business nobody will bother you to tip.
I had to tell a guy to please sit still cause he was moving around so much while i was in front of him and his friend on stage. Like he was bobbing in and out around me every other second, wildly moving his arms around. So much so that when I moved my legs my heel connected with his forehead, not hard, no blood or anything but still, I do not want to bop people in the head with my heels by mistake. So I had to stop and tell him to please not move around so much. Of course every time you scold somebody they act offended. 
Week 6. Swedish Word Of The Day.

Marilyn (a girl I work with) said that she fake laughed a lot Friday. And that the only time she really laughed is when I was telling jokes. I can't recall what I was joking about but we were sitting around in a group talking, eating and having fun. Two people ordered us pizza and breadsticks. Thank You nice people! We appreciate you a lot! Feed The Strippers!
Saturday was pretty busy and crazy. I have a devoted fan that is very nice and thinks I am like the best thing ever. He came in both Friday and Saturday and declared that I am the most perfect specimen of a woman that he has ever seen. He should see me when I am bumming around during the day.......Another guy thought I was just gorgeous. And another one came up twice to say that he thought that my stage performance was just beautiful. Some nights everybody is all over you and other nights people say you look like an old lady and you leave with $8 profit.
It was a fun night but rowdy. The guy that me and Siren defended from the two dudes that wanted to beat him up (last week) came back and expressed his gratitude.
Unfortunately the bully guy that pushed one of our nice and fun regulars a few weeks ago came in twice this week with his dumb friends. I am disappointed that he is allowed back in. I totally avoid and try to ignore him and a few more girls do too, the ones that were at the club the night of the incident. He is a total asshole bully. And the guy he pushed has not been in since that happened and we all really like him and we are worried that maybe he got injured. I think that the bully guy is an accident waiting to happen. He is just looking for a reason to act out. He tried to start something with me last night while I was talking to another regular that I consider a friend and we just looked at him like ???? and he kept on going on and on until I decided to call for the bartender to put an end to it and as soon as I did he walked away back to his group.
Anyhow......last night's shine.

This evening I went to a meeting here in town addressing what to do with the many homes that sit empty year round while there is a housing shortage and also rent is unaffordable for many. It is no joke. If you survive on a single income you better have money. Or you need to have a partner of some sort to share living expenses with, live with family or a roommate or several rommates. And not everybody has a partner or wants to live with roommates. I know of many people that work full time that struggle with rent. You should be able to survive on one income with no problem, not too much to ask I think. 
I believe in affordable housing for all. I believe that a roof over one's head is a basic human right. The suggestion brought up on tonight's meeting is to put a tax on homeowners with  homes that sit empty for most of the year. I am totally OK with that. Other cities in the country are already doing this. And the income generated from that tax would go towards improving the housing situation for the local people in town that are in some sort of need. Basically.
I also think that large unused commercial buildings should be put to use. Either converted into housing or affordable storage units. Many churches have a lot of space and can put up people that need a roof over their head. Unless you WANT to be houseless you shouldn't have to be. Yea I know it is a complex issue and it is not my job to figure it out. I am far from an expert but I do care and I want to work for a change.

Week 3 was like one of the worst weeks ever with a mix of people on the verge of a crazy.
Tuesday I left with $8. After like being there for seven hours, seven hours in purgatory. You just never know how the night will pan out.

The Starbucks was the highlight of the evening Wednesday. All of us got Starbucks to try to easy the torture of being locked up in the cold wooden box. And I finished the Bum Bum cream. I think I will get another one, although the company that makes the Bum Bum cream, Sol de Janeiro changed the formula a while back. It does not smell nearly as good as it used to when I first started getting it. Disappointing. Because it really smelled amazing like back in 2021 and I noticed last year
(I think) that it wasn't the same. It was a dancer at Riverside, Breezy that introduced me to the Bum Bum cream. I liked Breezy, she was fun.
A group of two men and two women came in, sat at the bar, drank beer, stared at us for like over two hours and talked about us. None of us interacted with them. I overheard some of their conversation and it was just dumb. One of the guys described that when his lady friend's half and half was empty in the morning, so she did not have any for her coffee she could just put some of his semen in the coffee instead. That type of conversation. But then one of the dudes (the one with the semen) decided to loudly declare, while gesturing to the girl on stage, "that chick has been here like 10 years" in a condescending tone. Ya know cause nobody else is at a job for ten years? Unheard of! But facts are that the girl in question has not been at the club for ten years so I interjected and informed him that no, you are wrong she has not been here for 10 years. But if she had been here for 10 years or longer, what is it to you? I also added the dancer's name and told them that she is amazing.
He ERUPTED. I got called a cunt, a camel, he told his friends that he wanted to and was going to punch me in the face. I told him to go ahead. Cause if you do that you have no idea how fun your life will become..... His lady friend (poor wife/lady friend) tried to calm him down and not too long after his tantrum they left. I have no more comments because some people are just really stupid and that is all I can say on that.
Thursday was the best night of the week for me. We had nice people that spent some money and we were done by 11. 
Friday another bad night, I left with $25. It was just painfully empty. But before the night was over two beefed up dudes came in with a girl. She tried to be sneaky and take a picture of us, which we noticed and she put the phone down. There was one nice and fun guy in spending money. All of a sudden the two beefy dudes decided they were going to beat up the nice guy because he must be an immigrant and they were going to call ICE too. Things got really heated for like two minutes. It was basically three dancers in tall heels against two aggressive dudes. We told them to get the fuck out. On the way out we got called ugly, gross and old. Ok whatever. Same insults as always when idiots have nothing better to come up with. Yes I am ugly, gross and old. I don't give a fuck what you think about me. I told them they were white trash. One of them started to yell at me that he is half Mexican. Oh yea.....kind of like Nick Funtes then? Whatever you white trash, get the fuck out. 
Week 4. I worked three nights. The club was super cold all week. Thursday and Friday I have no recollection of. Must had been boring as usual then. 
I was the first girl in on Saturday, there was a larger group already in the club. As soon as I got on stage they came up. There were like four women and four men. They acted kind of lame. One of the women was not happy with the music I played and decided to let me know. I politely informed her that I was not going to change the song halfway through. She started to act out a bit. So when I got off I put on Green Day "American Idiot" on full volume. You like that? Better music now? I thought that was REALLY funny and from now on that is what exactly what I will do when people act dumb. Then they can sit there and ponder the situation and look at each other. Yeay for Green Day at Superbowl by the way!
A guy not with the group wanted some dances and he was nice and normal. Like you should be. Don't act demanding and rude. Two weeks in the wooden box came and went.

This past Saturday I went to another 80s Dance Party evening at the Crystal Ballroom (in Portland). Only four hours, starts at 8 and ends at midnight, of pretty good music and a really fun atmosphere. I love that they are playing the music videos too.
I really like 80s Depeche Mode and they play that. I wore this MTV sweatshirt I found a few years ago. 

I did Pet Pack on Sunday. I miss Pet Pack because I love helping out and I miss "my" people and their pets that come by, I wish I could participate more. Then I did errands as usual. Look at the color of these roses, so beautiful. A few days ago I got offered a bouquet of flowers at a store for the "good citizen of the day award" because of something I did. I politely declined the flowers for two reasons. First, I do not like cut flowers. Yes they are beautiful but flowers should be admired outside where they grow, not inside wilting away in a vase. I like inside plants in pots because they are alive. Second, I don't think you should be awarded for doing something that should be normal to do. Depends on the situation of course. You do something because it is the right thing to do. I am far from a perfect angel though......I do some not right things now and then but in my (selfish) opinion the wrongs that I do, do not harm individuals. 

I got these coffees at Trader Joe's and made myself one this morning.

Here we go, week 2. Slow week all of it. Tuesday I do not recall anything about. Friday was calm. The only thing standing out in my memory was the group of two women and two men. Sat together at the stage. Asked intrusive questions, made stupid comments and humoring themselves and talked about the girls while we were on stage. Yea when I go to strip clubs (which is rare) I too have opinions about the dancers but I would never sit at a dancer's stage and talk about her while she is dancing, good or bad. If I have something to say, I direct my comments to the dancer directly and it would only be something good. Anything negative I will save for the ride home. Many people have poor social skills. Like I do not go to a coffee shop and stare at the barista while she is making my coffee and whisper loudly about her to my friend. ? It is RUDE. Dancers are human too, it is weird how many people put dancers in a seperate category from everybody else. I only danced on stage once while they were there. First the women decided that my hair must be extensions. They first discussed it amongst themselves before asking me. I corrected them.....not extensions, a cheap wig that I get at Sally's for $19.99. One of the women then said that I had inspired her to get extensions. LOL. The other woman said that I inspired her to work out. I do not work out.....but thanks. Then one of the guys wanted me to like give extra attention (wink wink) to one of the women. I could tell they were so out of their element and she was not really feeling it and neither was I, so I said that I am not into sexually assaulting people.
I kept my distance from them. Woooohooo you went to a strip club, how unusual!
Saturday too was slow. A guy came in, sat at the stage then at the bar and then he asked if we have any video lotto machines. No but the bar next door does I informed him. He said that he would go and try his luck and come back if he won. And he came back a few hours later, he got some dances with me. He was very nice. He called me "preciuos".
Around midnight a group of like 10 people made a loud entrance. Probably half of them were already intoxicated to the point that they should not have had anything more to drink but they got served anyways. I knew right away that they were going to be a problem. The women in the group were staring rudely at us. Listen......I PROMISE none of us want your knuckle dragger man, you can keep him all to yourself so RELAX. One of the guys was so over the top loud, looked like a sweaty, bulked out cage fighter and needed to show off his strenght by trying to arm wrestle and wanted to shake hands with innocent bystanders and squeezed their hands really hard while making loud unintelligible sounds. I hate that kind of behavior. Us girls were so annoyed by the whole group and the other patrons in the club were too growing more and more irritated with them as well. While I was doing a dance in the dance room things started to escalate out on the floor and when I came out people almost started to fight each other. There was some loud yelling, squaring off and pushing and the group that came in were told to get out. They had no business in there in the first place.
We do get way too many people that have no business of being at the club. So lesson here is, do not go to a strip club thinking it is just a bar because it is not. Do also not go there to trash talk the dancers. Do not go there if you are insecure and think that the girls want your man because we do not. And do not go there to show off your loud mouth and muscles because nobody is interested and it will ge you kicked out. Be normal, be polite and be appropriate. Appreciate the dancers and your night will be good.

The last week of 2025 and the first week of 2026, week 52 and week 1. Unreal, that it is 2026. What is happening? 
Week 52 I only worked Tuesday, December 23. We were closed on the 24th and the 25th and I did not work the weekend.
We had a Santa gift exchange at work that was optional, I opted out. Instead I gave everybody that I work with gifts.
Lavender was the first to show up on Tuesday with me right after. A guy that comes in frequently gave the three first girls to show up a Christmas card and a $20 bill each, that was sweet. We had a pretty fun night......that is all that I can recall.

Week 1. I worked Tuesday December 30. I do not work on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I think I have done that once. No thanks. I rather be at home by myself than at work.
I added two new songs to my playlist, Black Atlass, "Sacrifice" feat. Jessie Reyez and Cannons, "Mood Ring". I think I have seven songs by Cannons on my playlist. It started with "Fire for You" like in 2020 or 2021 and I have added on since then.
I like soft and flowy music. Nothing too vulgar. The music reflects my style on stage, keep it nice and pretty.
