Dancers filing lawsuit

Some girls that used to work at Sapphire Gentlemen's Club here in Vegas are suing the club. Tatiana used to work there too. Sapphire followed suit and is suing right back. Trial is scheduled for March.
Tatiana does not know a whole lot about this case besides that the dancers claim that although they worked as independent contractors, the club's list of extensive rules meant that they were treated as employees and should therefore be entitled to minimum wage and other benefits.
Tatiana thinks that most clubs take advantage of the girls working there with stage fees, house fees, lap dance fees, house mom fees etc etc. The dancers end up supporting everyone in the club out of their own earnings.
Most girls are not aware of their rights and the clubs take advantage of that. The truth is, dancers DO have rights.
The bottom line is, if us girls would not be willing to entertain the way we do, the clubs would just be regular bars, not being able to charge a $ 30 entrance fee like they do here in Las Vegas or make the profits that they do on alcohol sales and all the other profits the clubs rake in. Because of the girls.
Some place is LA called exoticdancerrights.com list a bunch of things that the clubs should follow and Tatiana has seen most of those rules broken.
What bothers Tatiana the most when she is working in a club is that clubs let the rules for lap dances to be broken, meaning looking the other way regarding touching and other things. That makes the equal opportunity for the dancers to make money non existent.
Like Sapphire for example, towards the end Tatiana was upset almost every night when she saw what some girls were willing to do for $ 20 during a dance, not to mention the VIP room activities. The dancers would just tip the floor guys or the VIP room host to look the other way. Although it is clearly stated to the girls upon getting hired that these kinds of activities are not allowed. But complaining about it or bringing it to a managers attention could result in getting fired. You were looked at as a nuisance for wanting the rules to be followed. WTF?
That is not right!
Anyways, Tatiana hopes that these girls that are suing Sapphire will be successful in their suit or that it at least leads to more attention brought to dancers being treated fair and right.

Besides this, spent today reading gossip magazines, eating, enjoying time with Mikey at the Fashion Show Mall. Now taking Chhaya out for an evening walk. Tomorrow DMV.

Phew!

While Tatiana was in Williston she came across a saying that etched itself into her mind, this is a real good one too, not always the easiest to follow but Tatiana really likes this saying and she has been trying to live up to it for a while now. Ready?
"Procrastination is the thief of time".
So the point is.......Tatiana is trying a new club next week. Somewhere kind of far away. In Colorado. She just finished booking a rental car and a room. So it's done. And the best part of it, she is bringing Chhaya.
Chhaya has actually been to Denver with Tatiana when Tatiana worked at Shotgun Willies for over a month a while back. But no, it is not Shotgun Willies that Tatiana is returning to. Or Denver.
So new adventures awaits.

INGLOT

Tatiana is excited over this new make up store called Inglot that just opened here in Vegas, location Town Square. There is one in the Forum Shops too.
She actually came across this place last week, just by passing it while she was doing some last minute shopping before the LA trip. So she went in the store and got a sample of the primer, which turned out to be GREAT, way better than Smashbox and she also got a sample of a dark purple eye shadow with glitter in it. Inglot has a great selection of fun eye shadows, lipsticks and awesome fake lashes. And much more. There are two stores here in Vegas and many more around the world, like in Warszawa (Warszaw), Dubai, London, New York, just to mention a few.
Not tested on animals! Many of the products are paraben free and the nail polish is breathable. Very cool!
This place reminds Tatiana of MAC but better, more fun and with better prices. And guess what? It is a POLISH company, the products are made in Poland and Inglot was established 25 yeras ago by Wojtek Inglot.
Tatiana is happy to see a Polish cosmetic company do well. She took Ireland down to Town Square today show her Inglot and Ireland loved the products too.

Check this out!

A lady, Kristin Ann Donaldson, filmed a few of my old co workers at The Bush a while back and made a little documentary about it. Here are some snippets, quite interesting! And fun for Tatiana to watch, seeing that stage brings back memories.
Tatiana knows all those girls. Her and Ireland are friends outside of the club. Doesn't Daisy have like the best butt in the world? So sexy! And isn't Charity's face gorgeous? She is an angel. Ireland is such a hottie. And Bodacious would be a millionaire if she could bottle and sell the energy she has.
Here are the videos. After you watch the first three, click on the right arrow to watch the other two.

The drive

Almost Midnight. Got back from a weekend in LA a short while ago. Tired, ready to sleep. Chhaya is already sleeping on the couch but I am going to have her lay with me in bed and cuddle with me.
That drive between LA and Las Vegas is about 280 miles. Lots of desert. But I usually drive it at night after I am done in LA. Like today, had to go to Fred Segal and both Kitson locations. Tried on some J Brand pants and a Rebel Yell hoodie. Pants did not look good on but might get the hoodie.
It was a full moon. Everybody speeds on that road. It hailed too. I am glad we are home and ok.
Was too late for the Swedish meatballs at IKEA, next time.
Party is over, that always feels weird. It is over so fast, like it never happened. It is very bitter sweet.
Goodnight.

Fountain Of Youth

This morning Tatiana had a facial at the Reliquary Spa at the Hard Rock Hotel. The name of the facial, "Fountain Of Youth". It is supposedly the spas signature facial. Afterward Tatiana instantly looked like 15 again. WOW! Not. Actually, for the price and the short duration (50 min), this facial was not really worth it. But Tatiana saw it featured in In Style magazine and was curious. After all, Tatiana loves going to the spa for facials, massages, pampering in general. So far Anastassia's facials in Anchorage take the top price.
After the facial Tatiana spent some time in the pool and the steam room. Trying to clear her lungs of 12 nights worth of second hand smoke.
The rest of the day was spent doing errands and lunch with Mikey.
Soon Tatiana is taking Chhaya out for a long walk. She is looking forward to a long, nice night of sleep.
Reliquary spa.

Steam room!
