Question for the Vegas-based PLs:
I'm texting with a former LA-based dancer that I've been trying to convert to OTC for a long time. She moved to Vegas 2 years ago, but visits LA (family) 2 times a year. She's telling me she needs cash to pay a 'house fee' at Centerfolds of $65 before she can start her shift. No upfront payment, no work. And after paying the house fee and working a shift, she is still required to pay a 20% tip out at the end of her shift.
Of course I'm not going to do it. Never pay in advance, especially long distance! But I'm trying to decide if I should call BS or just keep fake-empathizing and say I can't help her until she gets to see me in LA.
So, house fees to start a shift? True deal?
