Red Shoes

So I been wanting to get a new pair of shoes for a while now. Both the chrome (silver) and the pink ones with rhinestones (Stardust 701) finally broke on me due to long usage and I even stapled the pink ones to get more time out of them. Well, sadly they are done and have to go to stripper shoe heaven. Meaning I will sell them to the highest bidder. There is a demand out there for well used stripper shoes.
So where do I go to get sparkling new shoes.....and I'm talking about stripper shoes now although I'm sure there are ladies out there that wear those kinds of shoes outside in the "real" world, like Shauna Sand for example. Well, I go to Red Shoes of course! Located at 4011 West Sahara Avenue, they have a ton of shoes and boots and even outfits and panties. I went with another pair of Stardust 701's by Pleaser but clear ones this time. Since I like that style so much. Here they are - pretty and brand new.



They even have a small stage with a pole at Red Shoes in case you feel you need to impress other shoppers with your amazing (or not so amazing) pole tricks. Don't be shy. Hop on up and start working that pole! My latest pole trick is called "the lazy stripper". Very simple, arch you back and put your butt against the pole and just stand like that and look pretty.
Anyone can do it!



And check out some of the new heights of heels......I call them stilts. Mine are 7" and that is probably as tall of a heel for work that I will have. Everybody asks me how tall I am when I'm at work, like I am some giant or something, when in fact I'm 5'9. So not crazy tall in reality.





These are not for sale, just an "ad" for Pleaser.



So you should check out Red Shoes when you are in Vegas. They have a vast collection of heels, not only for dancers.



And a last pic of my beautiful pink shoes when they were new. I took this pic in February 2012.




Coffee & Croissants

Today me and Julia met up at Sambalatte. It was her first time there and she let me order for her, so I ordered us some vanilla lattes and some almond croissants. The croissants there are very good.





Afterwards I took her to Tivoli Village that is just up the road from where I live (so now you KIND OF know whereabouts my Las Vegas place is located.....), she had never been there either and I wanted to show her Paper Source since we both like greeting cards. In there Julia made us some matching friendship cards. Kind of a symbol that I think is fitting at this time in our friendship.



Afterwards I had to take care of some stuff, then I ate and took Chhaya to the park. Now I'm in bed snacking on mixed nuts and yoghurt and feeling like I could fall asleep any minute although it's only 9 30 pm. I guess I'm tired.

Rabbits And Ducks

Chhaya had a real field day today at Sunset park, a long interesting walk full of sightings of rabbits and ducks. Chhaya is crazy about small furry things like rabbits and squirrels, so she was extra excited and her ears stood straight up almost the whole time.



Sunset park is great, I love going there. And so does Chhaya.



Rabbit patrol.



Sunset park also has a large feathered population, ducks in all kinds of sizes hang out there. Chhaya is curios about the ducks too but the rabbits she just loves. And no, I don't let her off leash so she can chase them.
I went to the Fashion Show mall afterwards to check out some hoodies that I knew were on sale but decided against getting one. Looked cute on but made of kind of shitty quality and I'd rater spend my money on a better hoodie. I actually have a new one from Victoria's Secret that I love but I haven't got around to showing it to you yet. There is also a sale at Diesel (and I love Diesel), I spotted a cute pair of jeans I might need and I saw a few items at Urban Outfitters that just screamed Burning Man. So much shopping so little time! I do have a few new things and I will show them soon.

Idiot

I went to the Summerlin mall this afternoon. Yes, there is a mall in Summerlin now! It's been there since October I guess, on Sahara and the 215. Anyhow, as always I bring Chhaya. Chhaya comes with me most of the time when I do errands unless I see it not fitting for some reason (rarely). I went in to Nordstrom Rack to look at a pair of shoes, I estimate that I was gone for about 15 minutes, no longer than 20. During that time somebody left this note on my windshield, "Don't leave your dog in the car, idiot". I'm the idiot apparently.



I know this person was only try to be helpful and was maybe concerned that Chhaya had been locked up in the car for hours. They did not know. But the weather permitted the car to be parked outside, the sun was behind the clouds and the window was cracked and Chhaya had water left out in a bowl in case she would be thirsty. I went to Victoria's Secret earlier for perhaps 30 minutes and then I thought it was too sunny so I made sure to park in the parking garage where it was completely shaded. I do everything with Chhaya in mind. If somebody invites me over I ask if I can bring Chhaya. Unless they have pets because Chhaya does not play well with others. I know Chhaya likes it best when she can come with me, even on (boring) errands. Today with everything that I did in between leaving the house and coming back I was away from the house for about four hours. Chhaya can come with me or be alone at home. I know she would rather come with me because included in that four hours was two visits to two different parks so Chhaya could walk, that took at least one hour. Chhaya gets sad when I leave her at home. I do have to leave her at home when I go to work but besides that I try to involve Chhaya as much as possible. She likes driving around with me because I point out certain things to her and that keeps her interested, seems like way more fun than doing nothing besides sleeping if I leave her at home by herself, right? I would never leave her in a hot car, I am very aware of that. And in Alaska if it's cold and I'm doing errands, Chhaya wears a wool sweater and has enough blankets AND a pillow. OR I leave the car running with the heat on for her.
I looked up the law regarding unattended pets in cars here in Vegas, according to dmvnv.com it says, "It is illegal to leave a dog or cat unattended in a vehicle during periods of extreme heat or cold." It's mid January, it was about 60 -65 degrees out today and the sun was behind the clouds, so Chhaya was fine and NOT panting when I returned to the car.
Thank You stranger that left the note on the car for me. But today was NOT an extreme heat OR extreme cold day, in Las Vegas in January you will see people dressed in thick winter jackets during the day in 60 degrees weather cause they are cold.
I have seen pets left in cars that were hot before, like HOT outside. The people that know me, know that Chhaya is my baby and that her well being goes before mine. Well, at least the note gave for a blog entry if anything. 🙂
Since I am in Vegas now, I have access to my (old) photo albums and here are two of some of my fave pics of me and Chhaya. And I have many.
In Solvang, Caifornia where Chhaya celebrated her one year birthday.



Me and Chhaya at Lake Mead in Las Vegas.



Tonight's big plans? Play with Chhaya and go for another walk. I know people that never walk their dogs or take them anywhere.....those dogs I feel sorry for. I mean, I could go on and on about neglected and mistreated pets.....but I will leave it at that.

Needed

I am SO tired today. I did not do anything exhausting besides meet up with somebody at Madhouse Coffee this afternoon where we sat and talked NON STOP for FOUR hours and then we went to the park for another 40 minutes or so so Chhaya could walk where we continued talking. Sometimes you have a lot of catching up and lot of explaining to do.
We met up at Madhouse Coffee and that's where we went on my last night the last time I was in Vegas. All the talking made me tired but I think it was needed. Hopefully we got some stuff sorted out.
Anyhow. I had plans to clean around my house tonight but I think I am going to take Chhaya out and then go to bed.
Madhouse Coffee is a 24 hour coffee shop on 8740 West Desert Inn Road in case you want to go. It was way cozier last time I was there, they are in the process of remodeling right now. But the coffee is still good plus they have stuff to eat too. Worth a visit if you like to check out coffee places.

Card

I picked up my sheriffs card the other day. The last time I was in Vegas I had to go and apply for a new one since my old one had expired. Then they give you a temporary card so you can work while they check that you are not a felon or something like that. I'm not sure about all the details regarding that. Basically it takes a while for the permanent card to get issued.
And I did not pick it up last time I was here but now I did, this new card is valid until March 2018. Let's see if I'm still dancing then, only time will tell. I go to the location on 5880 Cameron Street to get my card. It's been a rather fast ordeal. I recall when I got my first sheriffs card, me and Shelley were at some downtown location. It was awful, hot, full of people, screaming kids and it took forever. Like a welfare office. Here are some fees for services in case you are curious.



And I just read this....."Applicants with long or curved fingernails may be required to trim their nails prior to being fingerprinted, in order to prevent damage to our equipment. "
CURVED fingernails? BARF! I recall seeing some women with really long toenails a few times, like grown long with the intention that they look like fingernails or something. I was like.....WHAAAAAT? Ugh.....imagine getting scratched (injured) by those while you cuddle in bed. NOT SEKSI.
And this is what the card looks like. Minus the stickers and tape of course.



I love that the girl in the ad for Spearmint Rhino is a natural brunette. I think the trend is going towards natural. Or the natural look. The days of the enormous implants are passe. Sure you will still see them, this is Vegas after all. But not like back in the day when 8 out of 10 girls at Crazy Horse Too when I started there had implants and bleached blonde hair and blonde extensions.
To each their own. I prefer the natural look. I think what's trendy now is kind of edgy with tattoos (not my style either), some crazy hairdo but it makes stuff interesting when there is diversity and not every girl has the implants and the wanna be Pamela Anderson look, that not many could pull off anyways. There is only one Pam and I always liked her. But if you do opt for implants, make sure they at least appear soft and natural. The bolt on look is definitely not trendy or cute. Get a refund! I have admired some large and soft fake boobies, my friend Shelley has huge boobs (I call them "the torpedoes") but they are soft and look real. I like them. I hope the fake butt trend goes away too. How could that even be something anybody would want? Ass implants or injections. WTF. How do you sit comfortably?
Maybe you do, it just seems so inconvenient to lug around with some extra stuffing attached to your backside. I don't get it but like I said, to each their own. To me, there is nothing like natural. Can't be bought.
