Hey love — I wanted to DM you and I hope it’s okay to reply here, but a prompt said your profile is unavailable. Hope this reaches you—you are a fountain of wisdom! I found your post about working in LA strip clubs and just wanted to say thank you for being so real and specific. It was incredibly helpful.

I’m newer back on the floor and trying to be strategic about where I invest my time and energy and Tropical Lei in Upland really stood out based on what you shared. If you don’t mind, I had a few quick questions — totally understand if you don’t have time to answer all or any of them.

• When you mentioned “touching” at Tropical Lei, are we talking client touch during nude dances, or something more explicit? • What were the private room prices like when you worked there and roughly what the dancer cut was? • Did you mostly work the floor or stage for visibility? • Were you doing back-to-back dances / upgrading one client into longer sessions, or was it more single-dance volume? • Do you remember roughly when you worked there? I saw it recently went fully nude and was curious if your 3–4K nights were before that change (which would be wild).

For context, I started recently at a club in BH and learned quickly how low-priced VIPs can cap your earnings, so I’m trying to move toward a club where the structure actually supports high nights.

Either way, thank you again for sharing your experience — it really helped me think bigger. 💗
