Well we're still talking about I would say 1996 or 1997 well that's the thing too dancers are always looking for the next bar a better bar if they don't feel they're making with their making at wherever they're at they're always open to the option of looking at other places and you have to at least try them out to see whether you're a good fit for the club or not sometimes you're not a good fit for the club or you don't like the club or you don't like something about the club you don't like the DJ you don't like the music or maybe you have to you know sit with one customer for 2 hours before you can get a lap dance and then turns out that they're Quincy anyhow so you just wasted 2 hours on one person that you only made $100 off of
I always worked out best in my later career at just a small mom and pop bars that were deemed I would say not quite like the ballpark LOL
Like Jack's.. Charlie pros... I did good at dangerous curves but for some reason it kind of changed when it became Club risque though I did work there for a short amount of time but when it was dangerous curves I worked there for a couple years also along with Jacks and Charlie's and I believe with a short stint at daydreams but between Jack's Charlie's and dangerous cars which were all in proximity to each other that's where I stayed for quite a few years I believe I worked at Jack's for 8 years
And still all the while still trying out other bars if you see all the places that I've worked I was still I guess maybe just for something different or that I just wasn't working the same bar constantly which I probably never gave up totally I probably still went back to them and had one shift a week there or maybe two shifts a week at some of them but still just tried other places out
I didn't do any couch dancing honestly I may have done a handful in my whole later career... I pretty much was mostly a stage dancer and hand me money over the bar type of person but then a lot of the clubs turned into where the girls were allowed to go on the outside of the bar so you kind of had to go with the flow...

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I was a big fan of karate kid so naturally when Cobra Kai came along I was right on board I mean it's fun and it's not that great of a show but it's nice to see the full characters grown up and doing whatever they do sometimes I think it's a little cheeky a little silly but still fun to watch so now I'm waiting with bated breath waiting on whenever the new season starts
It's funny we have a whiteboard and all the shows were interested in are on the board and next to most of them or as soon as we know about them we have the date of when they're expected to come out well I was really getting into stranger things and I just found out a day or two ago it's not expected to come out until 2025 that's 2 years from now people
I'm glad I actually write it down I mean who would remember that in 2 years if your show finally decided to pick up another season and I'll also be 65 so I'll be a little more senile than I am now..

Yes I can do some questions and answer and as you can tell I'm always asking questions myself in my earlier career my roommate drove me to and from I believe almost all of my clubs so really I sort of didn't pay attention to the actual location of where they were now of course I remember most of their names at least I think I do LOL
My theme song back in the day was Hot child in the City I mean I was 17 and running wild had my own gorgeous apartment by the trevose train station...with my two other roommates... Man that was fun..

Yes Andy stopped publishing it I believe right before the pandemic maybe a little bit before and yes you can't find anything on the internet it was just maybe kind of like a silly thing him and another friend or two went around to all the different bars and reviewed the clubs
They talked to the girls somewhat allow their pictures to be taken and some not for obvious reasons... I know they used to have once a month they used to pick out a girl who had like the best boobs plus they would interview some girls and give her like a small write-up you know where she worked stuff like that
The the best thing about the book is it did literally cover all the clubs all the addresses of where they were located Philadelphia bucks New Jersey and quite a few of the surrounding counties that's why I liked it because I could go and see what clubs I could go work at plus two you could see what kind of girls actually worked at the club by the pictures that were posted

In my experience some girls are looking for something more than cash that they can only get outside the bar and they know that that loser will do anything to get them or give them whatever it is thier looking for without having to give anything in return

I used to know a girl back in the day who worked there for the longest time I can remember I'm sure she retired by now but you never know she must have had her boobs done four or five times so she was like a triple f or triple h or something like that.. I don't know how she could carry them around all day and sleep comfortable I already know that mine are already plenty big enough...

I'm not sure if I really had a threshold but for my time and travel my time there how much time I had on the stage like I said the place just opened up and we were lucky to have three or four people by midnight or 1:00 and honestly I only remember seeing two or three girls maybe there until the early morning hours so when I got there cuz I had to take a train there I was like clocked in at like 8:00 with nothing to do and then I think they closed at like 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning and I had to wait for 7:00 to take the train back home so I would have had to make pretty good amount of money in order to take up 4 hours of doing nothing while I was waiting around in the club
And 4 hours of travel to and from the club and didn't look anything like it does now it would look just like a storefront didn't have any particular signs on it it just had it was just playing with I would say just white blinds hanging down over there windows and when I seen what it looks like now it's all bright and cheery and neon lights in the windows
But I guess you got to start somewhere and they figured if some girls were willing to come in and just trying to make a few dollars but it probably wasn't too bad for anybody who kind of lived around there or didn't have to travel too far to get there but I'm thinking my threshold would have had to be $200 a night and of course I certainly wasn't making that
So I think I went two or three times and then after the third time I was like well this really isn't working out LOL and honestly back in that time I didn't drive so I either took a bus or a train everywhere so that took up a lot of time so I had to kind of make sure the money I made was also making up for my hours of travel

Give me a call what the name was before scruples
I know I was there a few years back and it was still standing but there were a lot of changes happening all around that neighborhood it almost looked completely different from when I lived there in 2008... But that's progress...

I should state that I worked there before it turned into scruples but I forgot the name of what it was then

I believe it actually was Golden slipper and then turned into the black widow I think I worked there for a week or two when it was the Golden slipper and then somewhere along the line went back to it and it was called the black widow then so that would have been somewhere between 1994 and 2008
In my earlier career of dancing around 77 to 84 I worked at Straccios... The Plaza..... Cherrys... The Raven... Knights road tavern

I worked at the French Quarter for a while
I believe it was one of the first bars I auditioned at in my later career not really sure why I picked it cuz I traveled pretty far to get to it
But when I auditioned the manager asked me if I could stay for a while I wound up staying 8 hours and I met the owner and he told me I could come back whenever I want and stay for however long I want I didn't have to call for a scheduler or anything I really loved that place... Plus once a week not too far away I worked at a bar called the Dragon Inn and I actually got paid to work there so just showing up for a couple hours I made 50 bucks not including tips... And it wasn't too busy during the lunch hour which is I think the only time they had girls but it was a nice little place it was easy to work..

Worked here in the very beginning of my later career and somewhere around the middle of my later career don't ask me why I think I actually got two approvals to work there and one rejection so I guess during my career sometimes if I knew the bar changed owners or managers or change the name sometimes I went back but inevitably it was one of those places that was out of the way for me

Worked a few lunches here...for a few days in my later career... Wasn't really into it plus it was a little bit of distance to get there as you can tell or if you're following my story you'll see that I worked a lot of places only maybe for a few days or maybe a few weeks trying to find just those few bars that I really liked were easy to get to and made lots of cash..

I definitely worked here in my early career and in my later career though I was a regular during my early career I guess cuz I lived nearby but I only stayed a couple of weeks in my later career as it was too far from where I was living at the time and there were other bars or clubs closer to me

Yes beauty is subjective but clubs are allowed to hire whatever dancers they feel will bring in clientele... I have been turned down at a couple of clubs.. some weird excuses one was after I had work the day they actually let me come back and do a lunch and when I called for a schedule she said the manager that we cant have girls here who have fake boobies well I didn't have fake boobies and honestly all she had to do would have been to come over to me and give me a little squeeze LOL..
