I have finally decided to be brave and take a dip into the world of massage parlours, 2 of my friends are working at a really well known one in Manchester at the moment . They are really impressed with it so Ive arranged to go down for an interview there at weekend.

I'm terrified! when my friends went the owners said they weren't sure about taking them on as they were a 'bit plain' Apparently they went down in flat shoes, minimal make up etc, so i am assuming the dressed to the nines approach might be the best way for me to approach it?

Wish me luck everyone and if anyones got any tips for charming the pants off massage parlour owners please feel free to share.

Good luuuuuckk!!!

I'd say go for that "no make-up" look that requires ten tonnes of slap and four hours of blending so you can look all effortlessly perfect. But if Lucy knows the place, best go for her advice.

I think I'm probably more excited about this than you are! I really hope it goes well. I half don't think it could be worse than what you're dealing with at the mo. But I hope it's a LOT better!

Mmm. I will reserve judgement as I have heard various things. But a thousand million good wishes, at least you will be tired and loaded. Just nod like a seal and look suitably impressed with the well run business etc etc, you will be fine. Stock up on lanacane.

I'm fairly confident that it will be better than what I'm dealing with at the moment. Unless the building has broken toilets seats, no loo roll or hand wash, filthy walls, bed linen and towels and clients that are astonished you wont let them CIM and stick their fingers up your  bum for ?25 then i don't think it could be any worse

It sounds like a case of horses for courses, my friends like it but they've come from my shitty agency where the owners dont give a stuff about even the most basic comforts so it probably feels like heaven after that. I'm good at nodding and smiling and to be honest if the business if really well run it will make a refreshing change for me. Im sick of working for people who couldn't find their arse with both hands. 

So basically if i glam myself up like a drag queen i should be fine? Not a problem, i will dig my pan stick out. My friends who got told they were 'plain' said they deserved it to be honest. They went in no make up, flat shoes and jeans! I would never dream of going to an interview dressed like that, i always get dolled up if only to make myself feel better.

Will let you know how it goes, I'm excited/terrified and curious all at the same time

I am sending you 'get the job' vibes from now Simone!



Good luck, break a leg etc..
