TWITTA etiquette.

lately, people have been so anxious to tell EVERYONE, well, everyone on TWITTER that is, what they are doing at any given time in the day. whether your waking up, masturbating, shopping, counting money, or fussing with your boy/girlfriend, your POSTING it. its mini-journaling, in my opinion. home of the rants, blasts and nosey-ness! arent we all guilty? ok, well i am. my life is not that exciting, but i have a lot to say (clearly) so "twitta" is great place for me to just blurt out whatever, whenever, via laptop or my, appropriately named: CRACKberry. :o]

which has become a bit of a problem in my present work place, who you can also follow on twitter: @magiccityatl. because of the overwhelming amount of girls in the club gaining a twitter account, and having such loud and garish thoughts, the club has had to put some order in line to keep the girls from..well..shitting where they eat.

surprisingly, i am NOT one of the girls giving the club a bad look, or saying things that are a conflict for the business of MAGIC CITY or the industry of STRIP(so iv been told), BUT unfortunately the rules have effected me all the same. and unfortunately for them, i dislike the restrictions that the club has placed on the girls, its borderline censorship, and in my opinion, limits what i can say or how i feel about certain things/current events and/or other clubs. even tho this hasnt been a problem for me thus far, it may present one in the future if i decide to speak on any of those topics.

MAGIC CITY would like us to be careful when telling the twitter world and our followers where we are at, club wise, when we are not at work. saying we are at any other club besides MAGIC CITY poses a bit of a problem for the club, we will call it "conflict of interest". example, i say, "im at club deja vu, its a great crowd and having fun"..thats constitutes as me promoting another club(in their opinion). they would also like us to be mindful of what we say about certain people, as they are probably patrons of our club. and even if i, myself am asked to host an event at another club (that is not a strip club) while magic city is open, it would be considered NOT OK if i promoted that i would be WORKING their as a host and posting this on twitter and/or my blog, even if the other club is paying me to do so. as you can imagine, these rules would make it very difficult(for me) to make extra income hosting parties at other clubs, or honoring social invites to different night life events outside of magic city. even tho, MOST girls disagree with some of these guidelines, the club's defense is "if you worked for coke, you dont talk about pepsi"..in so many words.

i will speak ONLY for myself. as an independent contractor who pays the house (magic city) to work, i find it more and more annoying to be compared to companies who pay their employees a salary to work for them, which is not at all the kind of payroll we conduct, as a matter of fact, the customers are our payroll. in the club's defense, i do understand why they would like to keep their name going in the best positive direction, without a bunch of loud mouth girls jeopardizing that with random and slanderous tweets, which HAS happened recently. they have been in business for 25 years and understandably would like to keep business striving another 25 years with out a hitch. it is just my opinion that what i do in my personal time on my personal laptop should be left alone, and i do not like to be policed or censored when it comes to MY social networks that i have been on since before the club gained an account. i have a disclaimer on my blog as well as my twitter that reads:

Disclaimer: The opinions expressed here are the views of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Magic City

i did this for obvious reasons. ONE, because i would like to protect myself as well as the club, TWO, to show the club my intentions are not at all malicious and i respect boundaries. as of today, i still do not agree with the new rules for the ladies in the club regarding social networks, and they are aware and we have discussed this at great lengths..stay tuned.

i promote my club to the fullest, MAGIC CITY, is my extended family and this is the only exclusive club that i strip in at the time, i do not dance ANYWHERE else. with that being said, me and the club have agreed to disagree and i have decided to help them out with some friendly common sense reminders, whether you work for the club or not.

1. twitter can become a convo. when responding to others, be aware of who they are and who they are affiliated with (to the best of your capability) word of mouth is a bitch. there are good bitches, and there are bad bitches.

2. exercises some discretion. i know its tough, sometimes i want to say FUCK *****, but then i count to ten and kill them with kindness. somethings are better left unsaid, untyped..and sometimes, just un-THOUGHT.

3. people are following you for your thoughts and opinions and insight on who you are and why they should follow, so instead of talking shit about HER, talk shit about yourself.

4. even though you can DELETE tweets, its probably just smarter to be of sound and mind when posting certain things, screen shots will always trump deleting a tweet. if you said it, it can and will be found!

5. twitter is a social network. be social. talk back to people, not just about them.

6. dont ask people to follow you. this isnt a contest about who has the most followers! you should only want people to follow you that actually give a fuck about what you are doing..

im sure i could go on forever, but these are the basics, because most of the people that NEED guidelines are simple anyway. i do dislike to be at odds with the club that i work for about something i dont think they will have much success in controlling (being that the social network is so broad and echoing) BUT, i do understand their point of view, respect the boundaries and will move forward doing what i have been doing, being as that has got me in NO trouble so far!

if you would like to follow magic city on twitter they are @magiccityatl. here are some more fun gals who work for the club, with lots of sassy shit to say! check them out:

@gyrl81 @ms450 @leileezy @frostyflakes @monaroe @always_faithful @gigimaguire @mzbakervh1 @barbiebentley @truth87 @jred22 @therealpeach @lisanichole714...and probably some other girls, either i forgot, or i just dont FUCK with them enough to shout them out.

P.S. dear magic city, though i disagree with what you have to say about this, i will defend to death, your right to say it. and i respect it.
