Welcome to Chaos !!

On Wednesday night Julia decided that she would forget about doing her laundry and go out to see what was going on in Vegas. After ordering some Pizza Hut and eating nearly an entire pizza, she got in the shower and squeezed herself into her new super-tight Frankie B jeans and headed out for the night.

First stop was a local bar/club called the Emergency Room. Julia's old friend Alex was playing the drums in a new local punk-rock band called Suite 666. Suite 666 is a classic sounding punk-rock band with three girls playing guitar and singing, and Alex on drums. The show started at 11pm and lasted about 45 minutes......they sounded awesome! The girls were all wearing matching school girl skirts and boots and they looked very goth. They put on a very high-energy show and Julia was impressed. (Check out www.myspace.com/Suite666 to hear some of their songs) !

Julia bought a T-Shirt and a CD and was disappointed that the band was all out of Suite 666 boy-short style panties. Maybe next time....

It was only midnight, so Julia headed down to Body English at the Hard Rock. It was her first time at that club so she didn't know what to expect. David Guetta was the DJ and Julia and Tatiana are fans of his so Julia wanted to check him out.

There wasn't much of a line, and Julia had a text message saying she could get in for free, so it didn't take long at all to get in. She took an elevator down to the club with a cute little midget operating the elevator. He was wearing a little tuxedo and hat!

The club was crowded but not packed....there was plenty of room to move around. Julia went to the bar, ordered a Red Bull, and took inventory of the club. The Go-Go dancers were all really cute and their outfits were actually really nice and sexy but not obnoxious. Some of them were really talented dancers as well. Julia thought they were probably the best Go-Go dancers that she has seen in Vegas. After finishing her Red Bull, Julia made her way down to the dance floor to get a better look at David Guetta and do some dancing....

David Guetta was awesome! He looked super happy to be there and was smiling at everyone. The music was great, and he mixed Tatiana's favorite song "Just a Little More Love" with "Firestarter" by Prodigy ! Julia decided to find David Guetta on MySpace and find out what his schedule is so she can see him again....

After leaving Body English it was time to call it a night. Julia was hungry again and wanted to finish her pizza that was waiting at home. So she got in her car and drove home to eat, play with her dog, and do some laundry!!

Julia just finished reading a very interesting book called A Piece of Cake by a woman named Cupcake Brown. It's a memoir about Cupcake's journey through her drama-filled life. Drama is putting it mildly. Cupcake Brown's life was full of struggle and hardship, yet she came out of it graduating with high honors from a law school in San Francisco. Today she is a lawyer in San Francisco as well as a motivational speaker. As a young girl, Cupcake was placed in foster care and endured years of physical, mental, and sexual abuse. She dropped out of school, joined a gang in LA, became addicted to many different drugs, and had a string of violent and abusive relationships. She finally reached a point where she hit rock bottom, and knew that it was time to change. Cupcake got off of drugs and went to school. It took her many years, but she finally got her law degree. She talks about changing her life and how if she can do it anyone can do it. In the book she says "change isn't for people who NEED it - change is for people who WANT it."

Julia believes that change is possible but it takes hard work. If you want something, whether it's a different job or happiness or to change some kind of behavior, you can have it if you are willing to put the time in.

Read A Piece of Cake if you like reading about inspirational people and acheiving what might seem impossible. Cupcake Brown is someone who was able to overcome some terrible things and rise to the top. Da Nang!!

Last night Tatiana went to see Dita Von Teese perform with the Crazy Horse girls at MGM. She has seen the Crazy Horse show many times (formerly called La Femme) but Dita's performance was a special event.
Tatiana secretly wishes she could be one of the Crazy Horse dancers, but she knows she can't because she does not have the proper dance training or the right height, she is too tall. 5'10. She still thinks that the show should have a special Tatiana act, just for her......
The show was very good as always and Dita performed a slow striptease, very old fashioned and very stylish before she took a shower in a bathtub. Dita looked delicious.
Afterwards Tatiana got to go backstage and later went to Tabu, a Vegas club, for some dancing with the girls.

A few weeks ago Julia's hamster died. His name was Hammie, and he had long beige colored fur and little black eyes. He had escaped from his cage and was living inside of Julia's oven. She tired to lure him out with carrots, but Hammie seemed to want to stay in the oven. So Julia started leaving out food and water for him and he stayed in the oven for weeks. After a few run-ins with Julia's dog Bugsy, Hammie ran into the oven for the last time. She knew Hammie was dead when she stopped hearing him eat his hamster food late at night (and it started smelling bad). How was Julia supposed to get a dead hamster out of an oven?? She called her friend "Double D" for help.

"Julia," He said, "Get me a coat hanger and a flash light and I will be over in 30 minutes!"

Double D arrived and started the search for Hammie's dead body. After what seemed like forever, Hammie was finally spotted in a back corner of the lower part of the oven. With some careful handiwork, Double D was able to pull the little corpse out and he was placed in a nice little Victoria's Secret bag that Julia had picked out for his coffin.

The bag was taken to the dumpster, and plenty of Lysol was sprayed in and around the oven.

Julia burned a candle on top of the stove in Hammie's memory.

Then she decided that she never again wanted a pet hamster.

Tonight Julia went out with a small group of girls from Sapphire to promote the club. Everyone went together to the Playboy Club at The Palms Hotel & Casino. The purpose of the trip was to hand out Sapphire passes and drink cards and encourage people to visit Sapphire. Julia had never been to the Playboy Club before, but she has been hearing a lot about it since it opened recently. You take an elevator up to what seems like nearly the top of the building. The club consists of several rooms, with a casino, a lounge, and a few bars. The colors are black and red, and there are revolving pictures of Hugh Hefner, his girlfriends, new and old covers of Playboy Magazine, etc. on the walls. In one of the rooms there is a nice fireplace with comfortable chairs to sit and relax in. The cocktail waitresses and card dealers are all dressed in classic bunny costumes, and Julia thought they were all very cute! Overall the atmosphere was laid back and the view is awesome! You need Playboy Club!

And when you are done winning lots of money there, don't forget to come to Sapphire and visit Julia and Tatiana !!

Last week Tatiana watched the movie, Blood Diamond . She highly, highly recommends it, and she thinks it should had received an Oscar instead of The Departed (she agrees that it's a very good movie also, though the story is played out, but guesses that The Academy finally let Scorsese have his Oscar).
Tatiana wants to share that she has been aware of the dirty (mildly put) diamond business for some years now and she does not want a diamond. If Tatiana ever gets married, this is certainly not something she strives for, she would much rather go on a beautiful, interesting and memorable trip somewhere than have a rock on her finger. This world has gone mad when women all over think that love is measured by the carats they carry on their finger.
There was a time, many years ago, when Tatiana longed for princess cut diamond earrings but when she found out about some of the circumstances under which some diamonds are harvested, she was disgusted and lost all her appetite for such things.
Tatiana wears her plastic rings and various "fake" stones and Hello Kitty bracelets and necklaces with pride. She feels sorry for girls that are brainwashed by the media and society to feel the need to have a diamond to show off.
She hopes more people will wake up and take interest in what's going on in the world instead of living in their sheltered bubbles of imaginary life.
Wake up girls, it is 2007, diamonds are NOT your best friend!!!
