I find every 6 weeks I get to the point where I cant stand to be in a strip club and Im becoming more violent and short tempered with the men who come in. So usually by that time Ive planned a holiday away. Since having been back to full time stripping for the past 4 months, Ive been to Bali and came home to the UK this month for 3 weeks.

I had planned to work a bit here to take the strong Pounds Stirling back to Australia where I can get more bang for my buck but it is simply not worth working here at all. The clubs here charge a high house fee as well as 25% commission on whatever you make. You can only dance for one song (around 3-4mins) and there is no touching allowed (I mean from dancer to customer). I really dont see the point, and if I dont see the point then how am I to sell dances? A salesperson has got to believe in her product in order to sell it well and since the UK clubs essentially have taken away what Im good at and then charged me an extortionate price for it, there is no point.

The club Im at in Australia lets me charge double for my 10-15min dances where Im allowed to touch the customer (and by that I mean sitting on his lap, stroking his neck, arms and chest - I dont do any dirty shit) and they also pay me to go on stage, even tho its just $20 for each stage show (usually 3 per night), Ive got 25mins to earn as many tipping dollars (of which I get 50%) as I can, which is always a riot and also allows me to feel out those who like me and would be willing to take me for a private show. So I have the power, I can sell my shows for as much as I think theyre worth and still make money from being on stage on top of that. Its a win/win.

So, I decided not to dance over here. The problem is, because of the exchange rate, Ive been eating into my hard won savings in Australia and the girls back in Aus tell me the money is very slow there at the moment.

Still, Im eager to get back on stage, to swing my hips, to make them want me, to blow their minds and to count the cash at the end of the night. Sure it may be harder work this time, but I think Ive had enough holiday. Besides, I cant wait to get my boy into bed when I get back.
