Welcome to Chaos !!

If there was a stripper magazine that came out weekly or monthly THIS would be the headline and the pic on the cover.



Tatiana's shoes have to retire. Noooooo! The silver ones are beyond help, one of them just decided that it had enough last week. The pink pair are still hanging in there by the help of some staples in the right shoe. A few months ago the top just ripped in half but Tatiana refused to let them go so she stapled the shoe back together (can you spot the staples?).
The look is "modern" and "industrial", in case you wonder.....Funny fact is that the silver ones have been worn more than the pink ones but the silver ones broke down before the pink.
Silver and pink, just like the salmon here in Alaska. These shoes have lasted a long time, probably record time for any of Tatiana's work shoes. Now the silver ones are done but the pink still have a few more rounds in them Tatiana thinks. When Mandy saw Tatiana's shoes she was like, "WTF, ewwwww!!! Get rid of those immediately!" but it's not THAT bad Tatiana thinks. Yes, there are rhinestones missing but the shoes don't smell or anything.
Besides, Tatiana can think of other faux pas way grosser at work, like a dancer with BO or wearing the same outfit every night for three years, TRUE facts and THAT is GROSS!!!!
Lucky for Tatiana she has a pair of almost new shoes at home, not as many rhinestones, only on the heel and then she found a pair of pink glitter ones stowed away in a bin when packing a few weeks ago, old but still useable. Then of course Tatiana still have these beauties but she is saving them, for what she is not sure. Perhaps for a ball in the castle, Cinderella style.



OTHER news but not as important as Tatiana's broken platforms of course are......The Wild Alaskan "stripper boat" on Kodiak where Tatiana worked last July had it's liquor license revoked recently. Here is a link

I actually feel bad for Darren (the owner) in this matter, not sure I follow the ins and outs about obtaining a liquor license but it seems like it's a complicated process with many hurdles to overcome with rather rigid regulations. I'm sure he is extremely frustrated now, which is understandable since he has lots of time and money invested into this boat.
One more thing, I don't think that the girl on stage in the footage is a good representation of the "classy" that Darren so wanted to go with. I just had to say that. At least not what I picture when I think of a classy dancer. And yes, those DO exist! I almost had to hide behind a pillow when I watched that. Sorry if I'm offending anyone but that is my opinion.

Sapphire in Las Vegas, calling themselves the worlds largest strip club recently got sued by many of their dancers. Another club is getting sued. Goes to show you that you can boast to be the biggest and still get in trouble when not following the laws regarding how to treat the people you employ. I worked there and I was diligent and kept every receipt for the house fees that I paid....if I recall it was $80/night since I was on the evening/night shift. The club is open 24/7. I remember when Sapphire opened, I was pissed because I did not think that Vegas needed another strip club (I was working at Crazy Horse Too then) plus there was a gym at the location Sapphire is now standing. They tore down that gym to build the club and it was my gym AND the best gym I have ever been to, super nice, I mean suuuuper nice and since I was a dancer in Vegas I got to partake in all the luxuries of that gym for a small monthly fee. I loved that gym and they closed down to build Sapphire......sheeesh!
I guess I could partake in that lawsuit maybe? I have to ask my legal adviser Mandy that is way more well informed on those issues than I am, if I should even bother. And that my friends were the latest news in the strip club world......

RIP my pretty silver heels.....classic pic of them when they were almost new. Now they have retired.

So far I am having a great start of this week. I got the body chain I have been wanting for a while for 20% off because it's Cyber Monday today, some big online shopping day from my understanding. I don't do a lot of online shopping because you can't try the stuff on.....but the few items I have bought online I have been happy with. Wait, with one exception. A few years ago I got a pair of pants and they were too big.....and expensive. Too bad cause they are bad ass looking. I wish I could wear them but they sag on me.
This will be my third body chain from TatiRocks. I love my body chains, I get lots of compliments on them.
Well, today the snow was falling, completely gray out and windy. I took Chhaya out for a long walk and we still enjoyed ourselves. It definitely feels and looks like winter now. I'm feeling kind of cozy today, I feel like my house is a warm and comfortable cocoon.



Then I got a few more things done today, instead of being lazy I scratched stuff off my to do list today. It's only 8 PM and my night is just starting.....

Today when I went to Kaladi I found that somebody on their Angel Tree to give something to for Christmas. I have been doing that for a few years now. Yes, I'm that kind of highly annoying person that likes to brag to everybody about myself, not only am I kind to animals, I'm rather generous to random people too. Maybe one day I will grow up and stop bragging about my amazing self but probably not (I just have so much to brag about), until then feel free to feel extremely annoyed with me cause I couldn't care less. Are YOU doing something for others too? Good! Keep that up! And you can share that with me, I love listening to other people's good deeds. Remember, action speak louder than words.
Anyhow, last year I started noticing that there were more and more older people making wishes for gifts at the Angel Trees, I know this is for the Hope Community Resources here in Soldotna but still.....I went to both Kaladi locations to find a person (child) to give something to. The first location only had adults on the Angel Tree. With rather demanding wishes, stuff that I would wish for myself like clothes and gift certificates for spas and pedicures. You might as well ask for what you want, right? But today I found a five year old girl that would like toys, coloring books, a hat and gloves. Perfect! I will spoil her. So as a JOKE I made my own angel, I am tempted to hang it up in the Angel Tree at Kaladi just for fun. I told my friend Traci that works there.....she just shook her head like LOL. On MY wish list you will find Prada bag (preferably pink), spa visit, massage, high end stores (gift certificates) 7" heels by Pleaser (sparkly on a platform, size eight). I think this was hilarious! My angel wish that is. What if I would hang it up and get all of that? Actually, I am a giver. You know how they say some people are takers and other givers? I guess you could be a mix of both too, a giver and a taker. Of course I like to get stuff but giving makes me happy. So I'm glad I was able to find a
5 year old girl to give something to. I'm excited over that.



I watched a documentary on Netflix this evening called Neurons to Nirvana, it was good. Basically talked about psychedelics, stuff that I am interested in and that I'm looking forward to indulge some more into. To me drugs are tools for getting to know myself and the world better, to feel something MORE, not to get "fucked up" or escape something that I don't want to deal with. Therefore I'm not into street drugs, I like psychedelics.
But now I think I will call it a night. Monday tomorrow, December first. One month left of 2014. I have some ambitious plans next week, let's see if I will stick to them or just be lazy......right now lazy sounds good.

I think it's safe to say that winter has arrived. I'm glad it took until now for the snow to come because it will be here until April at least. And by then I am definitely way over the snow.



Chhaya loves looking for mice and other small creatures, not that she catches any but she gets very excited looking for them. This is the "mousie hole", she runs to it and sticks her head into the hole as far as she can.



I finally baked apple pie today and some cornbread. Had some friends over earlier.
Tonight's plans.....work. I'm about to jump in the shower now.

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you travel anywhere or did you stay home? I stayed at home, well first I went and got a latte and took Chhaya out for a walk, it was a bit frosty out today. I was thankful that a coffee cart was open today and a barista was working so I could get my daily addiction - a latte. Chhaya was thankful too because the barista gave her a treat.





We ate, I had some mashed potatoes with gravy (I looooove mashed potatoes and yes, I made them from scratch, who doesn't?) and green beans and Chhaya had turkey and ate so much that she fell asleep early, snoring like a piggy. No turkey for me. I'm thankful that I have food to eat.



We have a wood stove now, the smoke coming out of the chimney looked pretty against the sky. I am thankful that I have a comfortable and warm house to live in.



I was going to make some apple pies today (I looooove apple pie) and got apples at Safeway after work early this morning.....but then I realized I didn't have enough butter. So the apple pies will be made another day. Good that I had some cheesecake. And tea. And some new magazines to read. And my baby Chhaya. I am so very thankful for my life.



I'm thankful for a lot and I think about that often.....not only on Thanksgiving. Right now I'm watching Cause For Paws and crying a bit. I wish I could adopt all the pets in need, I hope that those featured on tonight's show will find a good forever home. I have a soft spot for pitbulls though. But it hurt inside when I saw those little Beagles set their paws on grass for the first time ever, how SAD!
And last but not least, I am thankful for YOU.....that you are reading my blog. Even if I don't know you, you know me a bit. Thank You and take care! Kissie pic from last night, my selfie machine is still broken therefore the pic looks like this......XOXO

I don't even know if I have the energy to dip my toes into the mess that is the shooting in Ferguson. From day one I believed that the police officer, Wilson acted in self defense. I never bought into that Brown was the gentle giant that he was portrayed as from many media outlets. Perhaps a gentle giant at home but certainly not out in public. Just look how he acts on that surveillance tape when he threatens the store owner after taking those cigarillos, so he could roll his daily blunts......gentle giant my ass. A good for nothing bully, that is how I look at him.
I am glad the officer got off. I applaud it. I don't want gentle giants like that out and about to disturb my safety and peace. I also think that "Reverend" Al Sharpton is a joke, he is a racist and to me he preaches separation and anger. Can anyone just become a Reverend? Is he really a Reverend, did he get a degree in theology or did he just start calling himself a Reverend one day because he has a way with words and likes to talk? Maybe I should become a Reverend then, I have lots to say and I am certainly not scared to speak my mind. Yes, I am very aware of that Sharpton supposedly preached his first sermon at four years of age. To me that is ridiculous. Throw any kid up on a soapbox, let them speak their mind and then you can call whatever they said a "sermon" or the voice of God. That Obama is even considering hobnobbing with Sharpton and uses him as a White House adviser is baffling. No. I am sure Sharpton has done good for others, I like his views on gays, same sex marriage and animal rights but overall I think he is poisonous. But as we all know, it's totally OK for blacks in this country (USA) to be racist. When a white person says or does anything against a black person there is a public uproar, million man marches and all kinds of drama. It's like a comedy show. Jerry Springer for the masses.
Of course there are bad and corrupt cops. I don't doubt that at all and they should be weeded out and dealt with accordingly. But in this case the officer acted in self defense.
And that is my opinion. Did I go out and burn down the local Walmart to prove my point? No.
As far as the rioting and looting? I say throw everybody that participated in a labor camp Siberian style for about a year and give them crusty bread and water only. Then they will think twice about destroying other people's and public property again. They will regret burning down restaurants and dream of eating that slice of pizza when starving and freezing in the labor camp. The rioting and looting done in Ferguson and other places fueled by the incident in Ferguson is proof of people's low intelligence, thirst for blood and justice that is not right. Mob mentality. Any excuse to go out and act crazy. No education, low intelligence and embarrassing behavior. Lock them up like I said. I have no sympathy for that shit. Burning down buildings and vehicles, acting violent, putting a bounty on Wilson? Who does that? If a white mob would had put a bounty on a black officers head, Sharpton would had organized a million man march the very next day.
I am very curious to know what would had happened if Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr would had been black and tortured and murdered by a group of white people. I can guarantee it would had been first page national news for months.
Have you heard about them? What happened to them is sickening. A complete nightmare.
I am 100% certain that they got murdered and tortured only for being white by a gang of black racists, they should had all gotten the death penalty. No need to keep scum like that alive.
And NO......I DO NOT CARE what happened in this country 200 years ago or whenever it was when whites had slaves. I don't care. That is done and over with. Just like many other, MANY other horrific acts in history, past and present. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the concentration camps (things that some people are actually still alive to talk about), ISIS etc. There are still black slaves in Africa. There you go. Fix that Al Sharpton. Why don't you go and try to talk some sense into Boko Haram, maybe preach them a sermon and see what happens.
Here is what another black Reverend has to say about Ferguson. He gets it.
