Welcome to Chaos !!

I know that I have put up so many pictures of the view of Mount Redoubt from the road by my house so many times but it is sooooo gorgeous out now, me and Chhaya went for a walk around 11 30 pm last night and this is what I saw. It was so beautiful and peaceful out, just me and Chhaya and the mosquitoes. The sunset by the beach must had been spectacular last night, all orange, pink and red colors across the sky. I love it here right now. Later today I'm going for a late night run. I'm looking forward to it already, the fresh air and feeling alive.
Best feeling!



We saw this little moose last night, eating grass and drinking water. I know the Mama moose was somewhere close by so me and Chhaya kept our distance. I saw a baby moose drinking milk from a Mama the other day while I was out walking. The Mama had a look in her eyes that said, "Stay Away!" So cute though!!!! Well, I actually have a lot on my plate today.....so I better get going.

Today I had another bad pedi, one more to add to the list of bad beauty services had in Alaska. I don't understand how a nail salon or a spa can let people that don't have the proper experience or knowledge handle a client's hair, skin or nails and then have the nerve to charge full price for it. If I wanted an apprentice I would go to some kind of a place where students offer beauty services for discount prices, while they are being supervised by an experienced teacher. The absolute worst was when I had a spa pedicure at Allure Spa (supposedly one of the best) in Anchorage, $80 and an absolute joke. I also had the pleasure of having a rather crappy facial at the same place. In Soldotna I had an upper leg wax at Karlene's last summer, also a place that advertise themselves as a higher end spa. It was the worst leg wax ever. No wonder I'd rather do my own toes and wax my own legs. Much cheaper and you don't have to sit there baffled, while somebody is handling you like they never performed a service like that before. And then they expect a tip afterwards. Really?
Some people just don't have the right touch, they only attended beauty school because it's an education that anyone that is willing to pay for can put themselves through and it might lead to a job afterwards. Not because they truly are passionate about the art of esthetics.
Never again will that old man that was handling my toes today going to touch them again.
He was nice but awful at his chosen craft and I went in there for a pedi, not to have the pleasure of sitting close to a "nice" man while he attempted to cut and file my toenails and then perform some fort of a pedi. A pedicure consists of more than removing the old polish and slapping on some new polish and a top coat.



I am excited over my new pretty cleaning products by Method. Especially the pink and the purple bottles, grapefruit and lavender.

I had a very fun night at work. A group of nice guys from Minnesota stopped by, first time in Alaska and they had already been to all the good spots in less than a week. Denali, Chena hot springs, Homer and then a visit to the club to top it off. One of them auditioned and got hired on the spot. I think he has strong money making potential, he definitely had better moves than Jagger. I think he will be my biggest competition this summer, I need to step up my game now.



Sometimes I think I have the best job. I go in, crack jokes all night long, sing loud, laugh, twirl on the pole and collect money. But then again, other times I just sit there and wonder why I am even bothering.....Well, I am home now. In bed with my baby. We are going to sleep now.

Let me tell you about my day so far....cause you want to know right?
I woke up at 11 am but didn't get out of bed until about 12 30, it was raining and gray outside, cold too and I did not feel motivated to jump out of bed all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Instead I curled up in a ball and drifted in and out of sleep. Finally Chhaya had enough and basically told me to get out of bed. She comes up and sticks her nose in my face and whines. Sunday usually means doing errands for me. Not sure why I have to do errands on a Sunday like most people with "normal" jobs also do but I do. Started out with a latte for me and treats for Chhaya. Kaladi started collecting money for the local animal shelter, I like that and I contribute.



I found a super cute mermaid made in Haiti from recycled metal. I love it, this piece is called "Talking With The Fish". I love mermaids and this is a great addition to my collection. I found it at Northcountry Fair, a very nice shop in Soldotna where they have all kinds of good, quality things. More mermaids are coming in soon, I will be back. I love and collect nice mermaids and faeries.



Here is some of the other stuff I got today. I have birds and squirrels to feed, they count on me. And I needed more lashes and eyelash glue.



And this is what I had for dinner. Edamame soybeans, two mangoes, Noosa yoghurt which is my latest obsession and some coffee cake. Chhaya got beef stew, natural and organic.



The rain stopped, the clouds parted, the sun is out and the sky is blue. I'm going to finish my tea, feed the critters and walk Chhaya.

There is like a storm here. I have never experienced strong winds like this here in Alaska before. Once when I was in South Dakota it was blowing so hard that it was difficult to walk outside. It's actually a little scary. A large tree fell down in my yard at some point while I was sleeping this morning. Luckily it fell parallel to the house or I would have had a rude awakening of a tree crashing into the house. Poor tree! I feel bad for it. Do you even talk to or hug trees? I do. The trees that are surrounding my house are my friends.



Sooooo.......do I have some really good and juicy information and gossip about a certain person/situation at work......oh yes I do. But I am going to stay mum, for now. I do not make stuff up about people, that is mean and wrong. I have worked with some girls that just make up the most outlandish stuff about other girls. Not OK. And if somebody tells me some shit like that I usually question them. Like, have you seen this? How do you know for sure? What I have, I have either seen with my own (sober) eyes, heard from enough people over and over again (the same type of info) so you can fairly safely say that it is most likely true. Plus in this case, all the stuff just keeps piling up.....the same details, over and over. There is probably way more to the story than I will ever know. My advice to all dumb guys out there is.....think with the head on top of your shoulders. Look for somebody that shows some kindness.
There is more to a girl than a vagina. And if everybody (more like many and counting) in town can buy it and probably has, then please use protection. And guess what, that is not your girlfriend.....unless you have an open relationship, wide open. Or if you want to get completely taken advantage of....then hey, that is your choice and right but don't complain if you get taken for an expensive ride in the end. Some guys are OK with this kind of treatment, whatever.....it is what it is. BUT if you happen to be married or committed to somebody else while getting yourself involved with another person (especially like this person I am referring to) while your wife or girlfriend has no clue, then you deserve what's coming your way. Gross!

Here are some pics from a shoot I did when I was in Vegas a few months ago. I got contacted by the couple asking if I was willing to do the shoot for them. They have a pretty fun business idea. Basically they will provide the wardrobe, props and take you to a desert location outside Las Vegas and let you be Nevada Jane for a few hours. Pretty cool concept. So they provided me with everything I am wearing in the first pic, in the second pic I obviously don't wear much......





Perhaps you need some Nevada Jane pics of yourself as well? A fun memory!
