Dear God . . .
I’ve really become of the opinion that before you are allowed to work in the Adult Entertainment Industry, you should be certified as an ADULT.
I guess I should explain why, shouldn’t I?
The club I am at now has some VERY young girls working there, which is fine, but they all seem to think they are still in high school. One in particular likes to talk about other entertainers behind their backs, acting all sweet to them to their faces & then she does this “poor pitiful me” act when she gets called out on it. (Of course that could just be the way she reacted to me when I called her out and informed her that the next time my name fell out of her mouth, I would unscrew her arms and beat her to death with them, but that’s because she was talking to customers about other girls’ home lives, which is a serious no-no). She likes to think she can run with the big dogs, but really she can’t, and she probably never will reach that level, especially since she likes to point out all the married girls to the customers, all the while hiding the fact that she has a two-time loser boyfriend.
Then there are the girls who cover themselves in glitter and then complain about not getting dances. I will, once again, explain this dynamic: MEN DON’T BUY DANCES FROM GIRLS COVERED IN GLITTER BECAUSE IT’S AN AUTOMATIC BUST! And they don’t want their wives or girlfriends to know they’ve been in a strip club. Besides, to quote my friend Truck, glitter is the herpes of the craft/strip world, once you get it on you, you will NEVER get rid of it.
Why did I bring this up, you ask? We had a girl, another young one who couldn’t work unless she was fucked up, who had a glitter explosion in the dressing room at work. It was blue and purple and got EVERYWHERE and onto EVERYTHING. It looked like a swarm of faeries had had explosive diarrhea. And instead of cleaning it up, she walked out & left it for the rest of us to deal with. All that glitter ended up costing a few of us some dances, and she ended up humiliated when she was told to leave the floor and clean it up, in front of a customer. Not that any of this matters anyway, since she was fired for leaving with a customer. I guess chasing a habit will make you do desperate things, won’t it?
And all this brings me around to the title of this post. I had read a blog posted by Vicky Vette a few months ago talking about how there should be some kind of program to ensure you are making intelligent decisions before entering the porn industry. She suggested some kind of psychiatric evaluation and a minimum age of 21 to start making adult films, since the industry will eat you alive if you aren’t mature enough to handle it properly. In all the years I’ve been dancing, I’ve seen stripping eat young girls alive. They come into the club all wide eyed and wondrous, with dollar signs in their eyes, believing the hype that it’s fast, easy money and all you have to do is walk around and be pretty. Now, there are nights when the money is fast, and it seems easy, but for the most part it’s not. And the majority of girls I know have NEVER made money JUST because they are pretty.
And once the baby dancers realise this and come to understand that the vets have a grip on the fact that being tiny and cute is not what gets your bills paid, jealousy sets in. They like to talk shit about the earners, saying things like “Anastasia sucks dick in the VIP”, “Anastasia gets nasty in the back” or whatever because, at my age, I am making more money than they are, or because guys are wanting me and not them. And it’s not just me they are talking about, and it’s not just in the club I’m at now. It’s in every club and it seems as though every veteran dancer I know is, at some point, the target of some kind of gossip. And the funny thing is, while all these babies who think they are still in high school are spreading rumours, they don’t understand that by telling customers so-and-so sucks dick/fucks in the back, they are helping that girl make MORE money. Because, really, if you were a guy, who would you buy a dance from – the girl telling you, or the girl she’s saying it about? Personally, I would go for the girl who supposedly gets nasty in the back LOL.
And therein lies the paradox for me. There are times when I will take every dollar the baby dancers earn for me, because it makes my life a little easier. Then are times when I am absolutely tired of being gossiped about. It’s the times when I am tired of being the center of all the gossip and drama that I am comforted by the words of the most shameless self-promoters on the planet, Gene Simmons. He once said “Good or bad, it’s all publicity, and any publicity is good publicity” or something to that effect! LOL
And now it’s time for me to cut this off and go start my beauty rituals for work. Catch y’all later!
