		<description>&lt;i&gt;Well, I was all set to go to amateur night - but now, no clubs in the metro area (except a couple clubs that cater exclusively to black clientele) have amateur night. :\&lt;/i&gt;

Really?  Wow, that's how many clubs get some of their best talent!  Haha!  

Well, regardless, it has been fun to watch you (talk about and) develop your skills!  ;-)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well, I know in some states, theyâ€™ve outlawed smoking in all establishments, including strip clubs. Not sure about where you are.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I WISH they would do that here. Instead, they've taken the wishy-washy (or "middle of the road," if you're trying to spin it in a positive light) approach of creating elaborate rules of when and where smoking is allowed, and when and where it isn't.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Once you get the hang of it and learn how to hustle, though, it becomes second nature.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Speak for yourself. :) I can't wait tables, either.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Anyway, you seem to enjoy working a pole - I thought itâ€™d be cool for you to give it a real shot.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Well, I know in some states, they've outlawed smoking in all establishments, including strip clubs.  Not sure about where you are.

As for the cold-calling, that is a problem for every girl who starts out, really.  Once you get the hang of it and learn how to hustle, though, it becomes second nature.  You do have to have good self esteem and a tough ego, though.  Being rejected by a customer isn't easy, but once you learn that it is nothing personal, and understand that it happens to every single dancer, that too becomes much easier to deal with.   Usually.  lol  

Anyway, you seem to enjoy working a pole - I thought it'd be cool for you to give it a real shot.</description>

		<description>I've thought about it, and alas, I think that the smokiness/poor ventilation of most strip clubs, plus the "cold calling" aspect of the job (approaching customers for lap dances) make it not the right job for me.</description>
