It is soon time to hop in the shower and start getting ready.
My small bag for work is packed and I have a snack for later when I get hungry.
Forced myself to go to the gym today, for a 20 minute session on the elliptical and some stretches, after that my mandatory latte of course.
Got food from some place called Rice and Spice or something like that. It was a full house in there but I didn't like it too much, so I won't return.
You want to know about last night?
It was kind of slow, Monday was busier than Tuesday. But I still made $ 2700. Of course, I am just SOOOO HOT and this is Williston after all.
Hundred dollar bills are falling down from the sky.
Of course I am exaggerating to make myself feel special.....NOT! Nothing unusual at all in this business. LOL.
The reality of it was the night kind of dragged on for me. I was cold, the club is rather chilly. But it was still a decent night.
Definitely worth washing my hair for. But I made more Monday night.
Not that it matters much but I know that dancers are reading this and they are curious. After my two weeks here are up I will be able to tell you
more if this adventure was worth my time and my expensive airfare and housing.
I did notice a few "working girls" chatting up the older fellows in the club, actually I remember that they were coming into Heartbreakers the
first time I was here too. I do not think that is ok. Most other places I have worked, they are told to leave. They sit with the guys and monopolize their time, so I don't feel comfortable approaching whomever they are sitting with. And I am the one paying for the "pleasure" to working in the club. Sometimes men get confused and think that I too, might leave and go home with them for a fee. But no, that is not going to happen. Like I say, it's nothing personal, just not my cup of tea honey.
But now.....it is time for a hot shower.
Here is the much talked about video and article about the money in Williston, ND.
It is very interesting, Tatiana think that you should take a look at it! Click on "WATCH". Tatiana loved reading the comments that followed the article,
there are many people out there that seem very angry at strippers. LOL. Don't be mad, get naked!
Tatiana found another coffee place close by, Meg-A-Latte. With a nice fire place. Tatiana relaxed there with her latte before heading back to the house,
it is almost time to start getting ready. Tatiana has to wash her hair today.
All the ladies out there, pack your bags and come here to North Dakota, Tatiana made soooooo much money tonight, she even got some diamond
bracelets slipped in her g-string! Tatiana is moving to Williston and becoming a millionaire.
Anyways.....
Tatiana knew very well that making $ 2000 or even 1000 would NOT happen. Because she just doesn't think it is possible, sure maybe once in a
while there will be a night like that but Tatiana is a realist, always has been a realist. And she has stated throughout the blog that she thinks the $ 2000/night is a gross exaggeration.
The dances are $ 20 and you keep $ 15. The music starts at 5 15 PM and ends at 1 AM, you do the math, how many dances do you really think it is possible to squeeze in between going on stage, asking for dances and getting them done?
You also pay $ 50 to work, that goes up a little on the weekend. At the beginning of the night there were 7 girls but one went home.
The first thing Tatiana heard when she walked into the dressing room was "Oh, you are Tatiana! I read your blog!". A tall fit blonde called Leah that Tatiana never seen before said that. How nice! That made Tatiana happy.
But Tatiana is not complaining about the earnings tonight, she did well. She is happy with what she made. But no girl in there made $ 1000 tonight, Tatiana knows, because she could see how many dances were done, since the dances are accounted for and written down on a piece of paper.
The stage is awkward, not Tatiana cup of tea by far. One pole with floor damage around it, that should be fixed asap, so you have to be careful
that you don't trip and brake your ankle or something. And then there is a large, cold and dirty floor in front of the pole that you dance on too.
The music system sucks, no dj, no wire for an iPod, you have to put in your own cd's and you are up for 15 min each set. Way too long. The cd player is away from the stage, so if you want to skip to a song on your cd, you have to run over there and mess with the cd player.
Tatiana can live with it for a week.
The staff and the other dancers were all friendly. And Tatiana is very content with her living arrangements.
It is getting late, Tatiana is in bed and tired. Goodnight!
I woke up around 10. Headed out for coffee, beautiful day out, sunny, coldish and just a little snow.
Ventured out to the Daily Addiction on Main Street for my latte and a bagel. I sprinkle cinnamon on my lattes, you should add cinnamon to your
coffee too, that spice has many benefits.
While drinking my coffee I picked up a local paper and saw this article on the front page.......
Lovely......as you can see, that store can't keep pepper spray in stock in this town, especially the pink containers since women are buying
them up fast. It is really bad that you can't walk around safely, because some men have a need to assault women.
Do you ever hear of random women that lurk around and rape men they don't know? Of course not.
I am going to get a taser, just so I can get the satisfaction of frying somebody's nuts if they even look at me the wrong way.
After my daily addiction, I walked back to the house. On my way I found a gym that I might go to, not bad at all, actually really nice.
Took a shower, shaved and all that stuff. In a bit I am going to apply some self tanner, haven't used any since I was in South Dakota for work.
Have to be at Whispers around 4 30. I will write later my darlings......CIAO!
Tatiana is back in Williston. Last time she was here was in October 2010 and she was the first girl ever on the stage at Heartbreakers.
Search the blog to read all about that.
So, back for more......This time though, Tatiana will be working at Whispers the first week and Heartbreakers the next.
Keep on reading to find out all about it!
Here is Tatiana's room for the first week, she is all alone tonight, some girls are due to arrive tomorrow.
Tatiana picked the bed with the pink pillow and the reading light.
Torture!!! It's good that I am sane and calm. Otherwise I would had exploded by now.
Started out in Kenai, arrived at the airport there at 9 40 PM. Flew into Anchorage, got a pat down. Plane took off at 1 AM.
Next stop, Salt Lake City, "enjoyed" a three hour layover there. Had the dirty chai and some yogurt with fruit.
After that I landed in Gillette, Wyoming. I was supposed to have a four hour layover there, which in itself is way too long.....
That layover lasted almost NINE hours. Yeah, NINE loooong hours being uncomfortable in a hard chair with NO food, there was nothing there
besides some vending machines, had a vitamin water.
And on top of it, TSA must think that I am a terrorist or something.....they went through all my carry on, thoroughly.
Not that I cared too much, had one of my platform heels in my carry on, the lady looked at it for a long time (it could be used as a weapon after all), in my Hello Kitty make up bag - five pairs of lashes......
There was even talk of a cancellation due to bad weather at my destination. So when I finally got on board I was exhausted, to put ot mildly, frustrated and starving. And because I had been sitting on my ass for so long I got a rash on my butt. SEXY!
I have to admit, I broke down, felt sorry for myself and cried a few tears into my pink cashmere scarf.
But then I pulled myself together. The stewardess made me some coffee with creamer and sugar and I felt better.
Why cry when there are people with real problems out there?
I arrived at 11 15 PM, with all the time changes I must have been traveling for about 24 hours and not really slept for much longer than that.
With all this time spent up in the air in various aircraft's I could had been at the foot of Ayers Rock by now.
Maybe sometimes in the future......
Arrived in Salt Lake City, sunny and no snow. How nice, wish it was like this in Alaska now......maybe it's time to move to a warmer climate soon?
When I walked through that body scanner in Anchorage it indicated four yellow dots on me. So I had to submit to a pat down.
The zippers in my pants caused the dots. I am wearing my black Miss Sixty pants, lots of zippers. I had a hard time squeezing into the pants.
Like - really? I feel fat. Note to self, no more late night eating, that should do it. And no eating at work.
The pat down was mildly annoying. You can't touch any of your carry on while you wait for your pat down, I did, because some dumbass put
a heavy item on my MAC laptop, my Snow Snow. So I was like, hello, that's my laptop and grabbed it. Apparently that is not ok for some weird reason. Whatever.
Now I am drinking sparkly water, I love sparkly water. And I am trying at dirty chai for the first time, it's ok.
I loaded up on the latest gossip magazines, because I just have to know what really happened between Katy Perry and Russel Brand and why
Christina Aguilera is a wreck. And hello, I need to read about psycho Courtney from The Bachelor, that I have been obsessing over.
I will probably not be able to watch tomorrow, small crisis! Maybe I can watch online? I need to know who Ben will send home!
Two more hours until I hop on my next plane. Time to read.
That was a bumpy flight! Scary! Tatiana was close to throwing up, it was like sitting in a large dryer, getting tossed around.
Tatiana is in Anchorage now, sipping on a latte, looking at her pink iPod Nano that she finally downloaded some songs to, it only took like two years......Tatiana loves her iPod. ❤ Thank You J!
The place she is going to NEED to hear Attention Whore by Mellefresh vs Deadmau5,
Tatiana will put up the lyrics to that song here, it's kind of about her!
Also, new fave song, International Love by Pitbull ft. Chris Brown. Tatiana is international baby!
Tatiana also really likes Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomes - cutest song ever!
On my way.....and let me tell you.....this is one long trip, four different airplanes! Long layovers. I don't even change planes this many times or travel for this many hours when I go to Sweden.
I am at the airport in Kenai now, the flight to Anchorage is quick, only 25 minutes in a small airplane. Once on board my second plane in
Anchorage I will try to sleep for most of the trip.
Tatiana is tired. It is a little after 5 AM and she got home from work about one hour ago. Took a HOT bath and scrubbed her achy feet. Slathered lotion on the footsies and put on some socks.
Here are Tatiana's fake lashes, she reuses them, these probably got used 10 - 12 times but they are in the trash now.
It is time for sleep. Busy day tomorrow, Tatiana is packing and leaving for her two week work trip to......somewhere.
Do you want to know where she is going? Continue reading!
My friend Rich took these pics of me at club Utopia in Vegas. I did not know he was taking them.
It's been sooooo long, looking at the pics is bittersweet. Time goes by way too fast......
I loved Utopia, many great memories from there. I would never leave before closing.
And I always wore some kind of a short top, cargo pants and sneakers. Made for a night on the dance floor.
At the Crazy Horse Too (the one on Industrial that has been closed since a while now) there were sk VIP girls amongst the hundreds of girls working any given night of the week.
I was never a VIP girl, one thing they all had in common.....boobs, whether big fake ones or big natural ones. And I definitely can't "compete" in that department with my perky B cups.
One of the VIP girls was my good friend Sara and I also knew Alise.
Sara did not become a VIP girl until she had a boob job and even then Vinny, one of the bosses, told her he couldn't promise her anything.
You had to have a certain personality too. But more on that in a bit.
Sara was super cute with dark brown hair and a very nice bubble butt, she had a taste for athletes. She dated a famous NFL player for a while,
I will reveal his first name, Marshall.
Alise was very fit and pleasant with that Southern charm. She was blonde for a long time. When she went back to being brunette, her natural color, Vinny got annoyed and stopped using her as much. He preferred her as a blonde. Dying your hair blonde is a process, it takes time and money to keep up, and the peroxide is very damaging to the hair. Alise was always complimenting me on my hair, saying she envied me and that her hair was so fragile and didn't grow longer than just past her shoulders.
My friend Shelley definitely had the look for the VIP girl "status" but not the personality. Vinny asked her to entertain one of his friends one night.
Shelley chatted and danced a few songs for him, he was really grabby and when she told him to back off he was rude. She never got called back to entertain anyone else. And to me, Shelley was one of the best looking girls in the whole club, better than 9 out of 10 of the VIP girls.
Most of them were quite homely looking, even unattractive I thought. Looks did not have much to do with it, besides the boob part and a plus if you were blonde, it was more what you were willing to do and put up with. Bubbly personality was a plus.
Another one of my friends, Crystal, almost had the same experience as Shelley, besides that Crystal got fired for what she suspected was not being "friendly" enough with one of Vinny's cronies. He kept on telling her that he was Vinny's buddy and tried to touch her everywhere. She got angry and told him off. He went and told Vinny. And that was that. Bada bing bada boom.
The VIP girls rarely went on stage or walked around the club asking for dances. They just sat around one area of the bar, waiting to be called into the VIP room.
Back then, one dance on the floor went for $ 20. The VIP room was $ 100 minimum and for that the girl danced three songs. There was a $ 250 for 30 minutes option and one hour for $ 400. Plus a minimum of two drinks upon
walking into the VIP. Most of the topless clubs in Vegas have prices similar to these with slight variations.
One of the VIP girls was Ivory, she was very pretty, to me that means both face AND body. Her body was bangin'! She is one of the girls in the large photos that hang on the outside wall of Crazy Horse Too, at least the photos were still there last time I was in Vegas. She is the blonde in the white bikini. What annoyed me about her was that she was letting guys grab her boobs out on the main floor for $ 20, at least wait until you go into the VIP....!
As far as my dances go, no boob touching/grabbing - ever. To me that is not a dance, nothing personal against anyone, it's just me. Many clubs do not allow it and I follow that rule. I have seen girls getting their boobs mauled and it makes me cringe. It is not worth it to me. Plus I like my boobs too much for that.
I do not need them to be milked on a regular basis by strangers.
Sara made lots of money by being a VIP girl, she told me how much she made one year, and it was close to $ 200 000. I know she would go to dinner, shopping, gambling with guys outside of the club for a fee, whether she did
more than that - I don't know.
I heard many stories about the VIP girls entertaining people outside of the club , it was kind of expected of you, if you wanted to keep your spot as a VIP girl.
I have one more thing to tell you. About the Sky Boxes at Sapphire. It's your own little room high up by the ceiling, therefore it is called Sky Box. Sapphire is a huge club in Vegas that reminds me of a warehouse.
Before they built Sapphire, the space it's in used to be the best gym EVER. Super luxurious, I loved that gym and if you were a dancer you only paid like $ 40/month if I remember it right. I was so upset when they closed that place down to build Sapphire, sheesh! Like Vegas really needed another strip club.
Anyways, I worked there for a while. I went up in the Sky Box once. Many girls went up there all the time. Hmmmmmm.....? The cost for the Sky Box? $ 500/hour with a $ 250 minimum bar tab. You got strawberries with that.The one time I did the Sky Box I went with a super nice man from Washington DC, involved in politics.
We stayed up there for two hours and talked mostly about current affairs and I danced a few songs for him. He told me that he had been up in the box before and that it was way more wild than with me. But we got along great and had a fun time discussing stuff.
Another time I sat down with some guy that was some big spender supposedly (he had been in the night before and spent lots of money I found out afterward). But I declined going up to the Sky Box when he and the group he
was with got ready to migrate upstairs. He was nice but I could tell that he would be a pain to deal with. So I said no thanks. I can make $ 500 doing regular dances out on the floor.
No need to be alone in a room with a person you feel annoyed with and get molested for some $$$.
Dancing in Vegas can be fun but overall it is......exhausting. Many of the clubs are open 24/7. I stumbled out of Crazy Horse Too around 7 AM so many times. It wears on you. There are way too many girls working, many doing whatever to make their quota for the day or week. I don't like that. It's ok to go there and work for shorter stints but living there and dancing, at this point I would not do that again.
You can make really good money if you are able to get a job as a cocktail waitress at one of the busy nightclubs in Vegas. My friend Amber works at XS. A boob job is highly encouraged. Even though most of the girls have boob jobs, they still have to wear two push up bra's under their uniforms.
They make around $ 11/hour, have full benefits and the tips amount to around $ 600 - 1000/night, sometimes more.
A great job, if you can manage to get your foot in the door. And stand working until wee hours and in a stressful environment.
