Today I met up with Valerie for coffee, she had never been to Madhouse Coffee before.
Me and Valerie work together in Vegas. I remember the first night I saw her at work - I was like WOW, who is that gorgeous girl? Instant girl crush! ♥ Valerie is quite amazing, she is a burlesque artist and a feminist and we were talking a lot about feminism today. She, just like I feel that it is important to break the stigma associated with dancers. So many misconceptions and a lot of judging. You don't even know me but you are quick to talk a lot of trash about me. That kind of thing.
I am happy to say that I have met and became friends with several girls lately that I work with. So to all of you that think that us dancers hate each other, compete and act bitchy towards each other in general while we are at work. You are wrong. Do I get annoyed with girls at work? Of course, some of them act annoying and do dumb shit. But I don't feel threatened by the girls I work with, I embrace making friends if they are nice and approachable.
Like Valerie - super cool. Or my other girls Janis, Bella, Evelyn and Diane. They are my most recent friends that I have been so lucky to have met and got to know.
And this pic here was taken by my friend Ashley (you can see her in the pic taking the picture) she sings and plays in a band called
Almost Normal . Also an amazing girl! ♥
And this is Valerie. I mean.....just WOW! Valerie has her own site and Instagram too. Look up Valerie Stunning and admire more of her beauty and words. Yes she writes too.
