Wednesday afternoon

So I have 8am classes on Tuesday and Thursday, a situation that means there's no way I'll be able to stay up until 3am on weeknights this semester. Bearing this in mind, I decided to seek employment at a club with a day shift, and picked Joy for my explorations. It is way the hell out in Round Rock, a good 20 minutes from where I live, but to be honest, the construction near Ben White has turned my formerly pleasant three minute commute into almost as lengthy an ordeal at times. So, what the hell.
I walked in and the manager came out to meet me, asked if I wanted to work that day, to which I said, sure! He gave me the total up-and-down look, which I found pretty amusing, and sent me off to get dressed. It was the fastest I've walked into a club and started working, ever. I went back, pulled on my thong, reminded myself to keep it on, and headed up to the DJ booth where I was pleasantly surprised to see Ed, a DJ I'd enjoyed working with at the Show Palace previously. That was a happy surprise. I certainly didn't know any of the girls or managers. My first time out on stage I was immediately tipped a $5 and was tipped by management, so I was off to a good start. I was pretty nervous about giving lapdances, I mean, I haven't done many topless dances over the past few years - but it turns out it's like riding a bike. Or something else. I was complimented on my technique - and let me tell you, I take pride in the way I do my job!
There's definitely more contact in topless dancing than nude - no way in hell is a bouncer going to come over to tell a guy not to touch your legs. However, it's all in the way you want to dance, I believe, and I only had a couple of instances in which guys pushed my limits. One of them wanted me to basically titty-fuck him through his pants (ouch) - he was an Asian guy who, after my dance, asked me if I did anything else - i.e. extras and told me that some of the girls would give him such-and-such for the price of 10 dances ($200). I told him I couldn't help him out in that department, whereupon he said, "Money no problem. I give you a thousand for a BJ." I thought to myself, "Well, I do give thousand dollar blowjobs, but not for money," and then I thought, "Doesn't this guy know that there are skilled professionals that would lay him several times over for that?" Again, I told him that though I wasn't prepared to take the job that I was sure he should have no problem finding takers.
He was polite aside from the solicitation, though, and the dances I gave him helped me sell several others in the vicinity, so I felt extra bad when I - accidentally, honestly - turned to the next table and with my purse strap, knocked a big ass iced tea into his lap! Poor guy. I bet that cooled him off, though.
I actually had a really fun time there - the customers were good, especially one guy, who, when I told him it was a rare day for me to be dancing topless, told me I'd better keep practicing for several songs. He was very kind to let me work out the kinks.
I didn't get much of a chance to get a read on the girls there. I didn't see any get ragingly drunk, which is a good sign. I didn't talk to them much - my experience is, once I have told them I've been dancing nude, I have to give them a while to say to each other "Ohmigod, I could never show my pussy!" Girls that dance nude say, "Ohmigod, I could never let them touch me!" I say, "I'm a stripper. I get topless or naked. I'll dance on the stage, at your table, in your lap. Show me the money." Which they did. I am looking forward to spending some more time there.
There is a problem, though - clubs in Austin can get shitty about wanting you to be theirs exclusively, which they can't really do, considering that we are independent contractors, but still....I do love dancing at the SP, but there's no day shift there and I am not going to want to just work weekends. Besides, that's when parties usually are. I hope I can have my cake and show pie too.
Oh, another thing, one of the regulars there had me dance for the manager! I was so embarrassed at first - I have never done that my first day in a club. He said, "You're dancing for a manager, so you can do whatever you want." Like ask about benefits? I was also given a tour of the VIP room by one of the owners - this incredibly gorgeous, midieval-style stone room full of cozy booths and its own bar, that they had built without securing the proper city permits, opened for a few weeks, then were forced to close. They had an architect in that day with the plans for bringing it up to code, so hopefully it will be open soon - it looked so cool. I can just imagine enticing guys in there, sitting around chatting, dancing all night long. It's called "Camelot" and there are suits of armor and coats of arms on the walls. It would be the coolest for parties.
