Week 52 & 1

Posted by TATIANA

The last week of 2025 and the first week of 2026, week 52 and week 1. Unreal, that it is 2026. What is happening? 
Week 52 I only worked Tuesday, December 23. We were closed on the 24th and the 25th and I did not work the weekend.
We had a Santa gift exchange at work that was optional, I opted out. Instead I gave everybody that I work with gifts.
Lavender was the first to show up on Tuesday with me right after. A guy that comes in frequently gave the three first girls to show up a Christmas card and a $20 bill each, that was sweet. We had a pretty fun night......that is all that I can recall.

I took pictures for the club's IG. We also have a calendar, although last year the calendar did not happen due to that for some (dumb) reason it was decided (not by the dancers) that we had to get our pictures taken INSIDE the club by a "professional" photographer. The pictures turned out pretty bad which I knew they would. The club is ugly, the lighting in the club is like one of the worst I have ever seen, therefore I did not have any expectations whatsoever for the pictures. Some sheets hung up as a backdrop and the lights brought in for the shoot were TERRIBLE. I took some pictures but when I saw the results I said absolutely NOT. Like lighting is super important. Then it was decided that we could submit our own picture (because the "professional" pictures were so bad) for the calendar if it was "professional", meaning not a selfie of some sort.....well it all dragged out too long until it was too late. I am not sure if there will be a calendar made for 2026 but I decided that I am not participating. Only if I can submit the above picture.....how about that? Is that good enough for a calendar? Super professional and festive in my opinion. LOL.
Oh the picture for the club's IG is this one although it is not up yet. No I do not have IG, or Snapchat. No OF either. Only the blog. For now.

Week 1. I worked Tuesday December 30. I do not work on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I think I have done that once. No thanks. I rather be at home by myself than at work.
I added two new songs to my playlist, Black Atlass, "Sacrifice" feat. Jessie Reyez and Cannons, "Mood Ring". I think I have seven songs by Cannons on my playlist. It started with "Fire for You" like in 2020 or 2021 and I have added on since then.
I like soft and flowy music. Nothing too vulgar. The music reflects my style on stage, keep it nice and pretty.

Friday and Saturday were both similar, as in it was very slow. We mostly sat around and talked. I feel more and more annoyed with people. It could be a phase or it could be that the people that come in have that effect on me (it's not a phase). We do get a lot of annoying people but we do have some super nice people too which makes it worth it. But the drunk troglodytes.....I just can't. The reason I climb the walls is because I am out of my mind with understimulation and boredom, BUT I have to stay, we cannot leave early so I am STUCK in a wodden box with troglodytes, therefore I act crazy, it is a coping mechanism. I do not drink or smoke weed like some of the girls that I work with, instead I act "crazy". At least it is entertaining.
I threw my slipper at an extra slimy dude last night because everytime he comes in he complains that we do not allow touching and then he tries to touch every single one of us. He is always too drunk and has such a yucky personality and I  do NOT have any patience for him. I yelled at him to STOP FUCKING touching and threw my slipper on him. Fuck off. Last time he was complaining that there is no touching I told him to go home and touch his wife, he has a wedding ring on. Poor woman that has to suffer with that oaf. NO WE DO NOT WANT TO OR LIKE TO BE TOUCHED! I cannot stand men that drink too much and act like idiots. 
But one really nice guy that comes in frequently sat down at my stage last night and told me that he loves the music that I play and that he has added several of the songs to his playlist and that he thinks that I am so professional and then he told me that he thinks I am a sinuous dancer and explained how. That is actually a nice compliment. So thank you. I did not throw a slipper at him.

Hello January First

Posted by TATIANA

Hello January First! What is there to say at the end of yet another year and the beginning of a new? Does it even matter? Three weeks into January it will not matter any more anyways. Things will roll on and unfold, good and bad. Disasters have already taken place and people are sad this first day of the year.
Portlander of The Year 2025 was The Frog, or Toad as they prefer to be called. I am pretty sure that I met Toad a few months ago. In Portland. Go Toad!

To stay on the political page, today Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as the new Mayor of New York City. Bernie (Sanders) did the honors and swore Zohran in. To me Bernie is THE human of every year, I love him in many ways. I am happy to see Zohran as the Mayor of one of my favorite cities. I hope it goes well for him he seems like a nice person and has accomplished a lot. It will not be an easy task to rule over NYC, so may people. The world is overpopulated and it is a problem.
The President of the US, Donald Trump's New Year's Resolution was "Peace on Earth". We should all strive towards at least a more peaceful earth, starting with ourselves locally. It is easy to forget when you feel tired and cranky and had a shitty day, sitting in traffic and everybody is super annoying. Sometimes all it takes to change somebody's day from bad to a bit better is a simple gesture of kindness. The state of the world is scary. Not a good situation at all. I feel really bad for people. And of course, animals. 
I do not have any New Year's resolutions. Last night I did nothing besides stay inside. I ate, watched TV and cuddled with Kaya. Today was a repeat of yesterday. Called friends. Reflected on life.
Here is a pic from about 10 days ago and one of Kaya on Christmas. I am glad Christmas is over. And with that......you be safe and healthy in 2026. I hope nothing terrible happens and that the year is mostly good. 

As far at the blog goes.....it will continue on as usual (I think) through 2026 with the help of my kind and patient KISA.
