Still collecting money at the club, but (for now) with the top on

By Justice

Since I can’t risk getting another ticket (and it is a matter of pure chance to get another one while stripping), I’ve gone back to cocktail waitressing for a little while now. Work has been incredibly busy with the mass hysteria of March Madness. I’ve been earning what I would on a night of stripping. As cool as that sounds, I’m also kind of bitter that I just can’t be dancing right now.

For a little more rain on my parade, I get asked constantly for lap dances when I am a waitress. The money is there for me and I can’t have it. I turned down $100 for a single lap dance on my last shift. I have to decline, of course. I’m the waitress. “What about on your break?” the same customer asked. Jeez.

I was happy to be a waitress when it was my own choice to take a break from dancing. Now, although I’m absolutely grateful to have the option to work as a waitress, I am bitter that dancing is not an option. The fact that it all happened by a stroke of bad luck makes me really angry.

So for now, I’ll listen to the strippers talking about how much money they made and know that it could have been mine. It is a depressing thing to know.

My feet are still in throbbing pain from my last shift and I have to be at work in 10 hours for a 10-hour shift. I should get some sleep soon.

By the way, St.Patrick’s Day went as planned. I drank way too much, stayed out too late, and I peed in public like a common goat. Then I had breakfast with my girlfriend who had just gotten off work. She filled me in on the gossip of her club. A delightful evening, overall. I’m a fairly happy camper despite the circumstances.

I am sure you are just as charming and witty with a top on as you are with it off. And you work just as hard. "Tis a pity that it doesn't pay as much.

natkingcolebasket, not just you!

Justice saying that while waitressing she was offered more than she would get as a stripper for a lapdance reminded me of my strip club going days. At the club I always went to there was a tiny counter where you could buy bottled water, potato chips etc. The employee who usually was behind the counter was a demure girl who was always fully dressed in street clothes. In talking to other guys at the club I learned that my fantasy was shared by most of the other men there: We were more attracted to "Snack Bar Girl" than to most of the scantily clad dancers who stripped naked every day. We were all fantasizing that one day she would emerge from behind the counter and dance. It never happened.

There were two reasons for the fantasy, I think. One was that we always want what we can't have. The other was that too much of anything loses its appeal. It's even possible to O.D. on girls in lingerie or bikinis if you see them in large numbers constantly, so that a typical looking average "college girl" in jeans and a sweater becomes more alluring.

How do uncommon goats pee? Well it's good you have a 'plan b' to fall back on that still pays a bit. And think of the shape you'll be in, carrying heavy drink trays, on your feet for all of those hours! Time for some comfy shoes and some good stretching a few times thru the night. Hopefully it stays good and busy for ya...

Well, there is always something to be said for leaving something to the imagination.
