Leveling up

I think I have reached a new level as a stripper.

I had my first $1000+ night.

Previous to this, the best I'd ever done was around $800. Last Friday I made (exactly) $1206. The vast majority of that was from an hour and a half VIP with a coked up old millionaire, his 25 year old fiancee, and another dancer. The 25 year old fiancee, K, was formerly a dancer at the O. They have known each other two weeks, and he proposed with a $15k diamond ring. (Am I jealous? Fuck, yes I am.*) The VIP was pretty boring as a whole because I don't indulge in cocaine, but K did show me that lapdance trick where you put your head between the customer's legs and then flip upside down. That was really neat, though I still can't nail it 100% of the time. I think I need to work on my core strength and confidence.

I worked Saturday as well - but since I was still riding that "I'M RICH, BITCH!" high from Friday, I'm afraid to admit that I wasn't working very hard and went home a tad shy of $400. Nevertheless, it's REALLY nice to have money. K has apparently decided to take me under her wing and teach me how to really hustle for the big $$$... according to her, a girl like me "should definitely be making at least $1000 a night. You are the hottest girl in here! You have nice lines, perfect proportions, nice skin, nice eyes, and a pretty face..." Sure, she was drunk, but I will still take that as a compliment. I've always had trouble selling VIP rooms, which is why I've always made the majority of my money doing table dances on the floor. I don't particularly ENJOY doing VIPs, but the prospect of making easy money off watching old guys do coke is pretty alluring...

I think I'll go in again sometime this week, but I'm not sure when. Maybe tomorrow.

In other news, I have put a couple new pole tricks into stage performances - I've got a decent (though not perfect) jade and my butterfly is looking good too. Shawn, the security guy, has commented that I have "gotten a LOT better" since I started. I'm glad at least somebody noticed. I think my new signature combo is the inversion-inside leg hang-clam/pike-jade-V hip hold. I am starting private one-on-one pole lessons with my instructor today as well. I'm hoping the next 6 weeks will lead to some exponential improvement. I'd really like to start doing more advanced tricks like the ayesha and learn new ways of getting on and off the pole gracefully.
