I worked at one so-called gentlemen's club for two years, and the reasons for my longevity were 1) my skills and fleixibility--I tailored the brief sets to the music preferences of the dancers onstage, and could beatmix from Journey to Jay-Z to whatever; 2) the dancers liked me--I looked them in the eyes when we talked, and was more concerned that they and the patrons enjoyed the sets than how hot they were; and 3) the manager trusted me to keep the party rockin' and to keep the dancers dancing while seldom doing more on the mic than introducing them.

The stigma is that a DJ who spins at a strip club is only interested in looking at ass, and trying to score, that he's a pig rather than someone who believes everybody who goes out to clubs, regardless the type, deserves artfully presented music. And I guess, now I know why.

I just hate to get fired when I know damn well I'm smart enough, good enough, and people like me, ya know? Then again, no few pub/club/bar owners are aware of when they have a good thing, so que sera, sera.

Just venting.
