Welcome to Chaos !!

Me and Mandy went back to McMenamins this afternoon, a return visit just to soak in the pool. It felt good although the water isn't hot enough but it's still a nice thing to do on a Sunday afternoon (for example) and the pool room is very pretty.







I like my bikini, it got used for the first time at McMenamins in Bend.

So I am working at Stars in Bend, the only strip club in the area. It is way different than the club I tried in Portland, every club is different. So if you go to one club and see something amazing.....or on the other end of the spectrum, something awful - do not think that all clubs are like that. The same goes for dancers of course, if you have one or a few horrible encounters with dancers, do not assume that all of us are like that. I am not anything like THAT for example..... "THAT" being all that negative stuff connected with dancers aka strippers.



What, no croth stomping at Stars?! I was so disappointed when I found that out.....crotch stomping is my specialty.



I wore my new bra last night, as usual Victoria's Secret. It has a small pink bow in the middle and and some small rhinestones all over the cups.

So me and Mandy are starting work tomorrow evening at a new club for both of us. I think the manager that did the hiring really liked us, when I got off the stage he told me that he would be happy to have me on the team and when Mandy was on stage he asked me where I had found her and said I made a good choice after I told him that I met her in South Dakota two years ago. We got to sign a 13 page contract. The club seems pretty strict and I like that.



I wish every club had rules like these and adhered to them. My kind of strip club rules! Although this law was definitely not followed in Portland from the little that I saw.



Since we didn't actually work tonight, only auditioned, Mandy decided to try her luck at the penny slots.....she walked away a whole $1.56 richer. Good, now we can finally buy some toilet paper!



I think I will need to sleep soon, both of us are in bed and my eyes feel heavy and tired. Chhaya is sleeping, snoring and dreaming. I'm already fantasizing about my latte that I will enjoy tomorrow, so the sooner I fall asleep the sooner I will be up and latte ready......Goodnight!

I'm in Bend Oregon! Right now me and Mandy are sitting at a coffee shop called Bellatazza, each having a 20 ounce latte.





We didn't arrive until later last evening and relaxed for a bit in a soaking tub at a place called McMenamins. It felt so gooooood! That place had all kinds of nice stuff inside, the building is an old school that got converted to what it is today. Definitely worth a visit if you ever make it to Bend.







Now we are going to take Chhaya for a walk in the park. It's really pretty here!

My visit to Portland has been a failure work wise. The dancing situation here is very complicated but more about that in another entry. I thought for sure that Saturday night would mean work for me but oh no......instead me and Mandy ended up at some Bingo Hall (!!!) with all the other party people aka fogbones of Portland. The bingo game was hosted by a group of white boys that spoke like thugs and thought me and Mandy were very interesting, especially after I sauntered in and offered to swing around one of the pole looking beams in the place for some guaranteed tips. It was a full house in there and Mandy was convinced we would win something for sure and she made me spread out some stuff on the table for luck. But just like the clubs in this town, no luck for us.....and by 1 am I was falling asleep at the table while holding my orange dabber. That bingo game went on forever. Bingo can pay off though, one lady won $400 and another lucky one took home $1000. We only came out of pocket for the game. Yeay!



Although work has been a weird experience here I have fully enjoyed my stay and I am planning on returning for more. Next time I will be prepared about work so it will be better for sure.
I've explored coffee shops......



We had Turkish coffee and delicious food on Stark at a place called Ya Hala.





And I even went to the opening of a night club......



Portland is my kind of place!

Me and Chhaya went to Forest Park here in Portland and that place is magical! And I only saw a small part of it. The citizens of Portland are lucky to have access to such a beautiful place.








Look at the size of the leaves! I felt like I was on a walk through Jurassic Park.





I love the message on the bench.



I think that I will need to spend more time in Portland in the future, I like it here and I want to see and experience more of this city.
