About Working as a Striptease Dancer in Lithuania and Abroad

Tomas: Where are you from?

Monika: Vilnius. I grew up in an apartment block in Seskine, but spent my summers with my grandma in Palanga. Sea, sand...

Tomas: What was your childhood like?

Monika: Not easy. My parents divorced early, we had very little money. I’m really close with my mom and grandma, but my dad... I last saw him when I was 17.

Tomas: And your teenage years?

Monika: Pure chaos. Three different high schools, smoking behind the stadium, skipping classes, party nights. Eventually my mom kicked me out. I stayed with my dad for a bit, then my grandma. Once, when she was in the hospital, I hosted parties for three days straight until the neighbors couldn’t take it anymore. I was a mess.

Tomas: When did you start working at a club?

Monika: As soon as I turned 18. A girl from Instagram invited me to "work" at a club in Vilnius. I was shocked - the first few nights were awful. Almost everything she told me was a lie. Constant shouting that I wasn’t doing this or that right. Stress about money, no clients. A super toxic team. I ran away after two weeks. Then I found some clubs on my own. I’m pretty good looking, so they let me try. No strings attached. I ended up with a fun, chill team and it was easy to get into the flow. When I earned a few thousand euros for the first time, I was like WOW. I partied all week 😁

Tomas: Does your mom support what you do?

Monika: She’s my best friend. As long as I’m safe and not doing anything illegal - she’s got my back. Of course, she doesn’t want to know every detail.

Tomas: Be honest - do all club girls really not do “extra”?

Monika: I don’t, but I’ve seen a lot. It depends a lot on the club and the environment. I think if you’re going to do “more,” then why even bother with dancing? There are escort agencies for that.

Tomas: What about relationships and trusting men?

Monika: Honestly, I’m not thinking much about that right now. I’m only 23. Right now it seems like men want a striptease dancer in bed - but not next to them. 😁

Tomas: And alcohol? Drugs?

Monika: I was exposed to the drug scene when I was underage. Had some seriously dark moments. Thanks to my best friend, I got out of that crowd. As for alcohol? I’ll say this - give me two cocktails and I’m a VIP room queen. Sales go up with the BAC - up to a point 😁 By the way, thank you Tomas for your advice - nightlife is for the night, but during the day you have to cleanse your sins. I try to work out, eat right. Kebab only once a week 😁

Tomas: What’s the hardest part emotionally?

Monika: One day you feel like a queen. The next - you're staring in the mirror thinking “I look terrible.” Men’s comments, pressure to look perfect, being judged on your appearance nonstop. I started reading, got into psychology. It seems to help.

Tomas: How much do you earn?

Monika: These days I travel a lot, I don’t work in Lithuania anymore. It really depends on the club I choose. Sometimes it’s about the money, sometimes I just want to be in a certain country. Lately I’ve been focused on cash, and I wouldn’t close a month with less than 7,000 euro.

Tomas: How did you find the courage to fly abroad for the first time?

Monika: One girl left club, another just stopped showing up to work. I asked around, listened, heard girls talking about traveling to Helsinki, Zurich even USA to dance in clubs. I didn’t believe everything I heard, so I started doing research about that options. Some said to go through an agency, others go solo. Then I found you - you convinced me, even though some girls were talking shit about you. But those same girls were acting wild and doing nonsense in Lithuanian clubs. I tried it, saw the working conditions were the same with or without you - except now I always have someone to complain to 😁 That’s how we’ve worked together for years now.

Tomas: What would you tell an 18 year old thinking of following your path?

Monika:

1. The internet is forever. OnlyFans pics won’t magically disappear.

2. Always have a Plan B. Nothing lasts forever - not your boobs, not the clubs.

3. Safety first. Don’t trust just anyone. Learn to filter offers - there will be a lot.

4. Balance. If it’s alcohol at night - it has to be gym during the day.
