Busy first day in Vegas and I love it! Yes, I am back in Vegas, arrived late yesterday. This is last night's sunset about 100 miles outside Las Vegas off highway 95. Gorgeous!



The first thing I had to take care of today was my broken phone aka selfie machine. I broke it AGAIN. Even I was in disbelief when it happened. So the screen cracked a while back and I had to drive from Kenai to Anchorage to get it fixed, to the repair cost of $150 (plus gas).
After that I put my phone in the Otter case that I actually got BEFORE last year's Burning Man but never got around to use (lazy). While in Bend my phone stopped working temporarily because condensation had built up inside the Otter case and I had to put my phone in rice to dry it out for about two days, I prayed it would start working again and it did. But I didn't put the Otter case back on (lazy) and that was a mistake. Last night the phone fell out of my bra strap and it didn't even fall a foot but the screen went blank. I found a repair place close to my house here in Vegas and they fixed it in about two hours to the repair cost of $120.
So I have spent $270 just to fix my phone in the last two months, I am NOT breaking this phone again. Yes, I know......I could had gotten a cheaper phone probably but I need my text message and pictures. I have some very important messages from Putin in my phone you know.......There is a silver lining here. I went to At&T (my carrier) and discovered a cheaper plan that I will most likely switch to that will cut my cell phone bill in half. And my computer that decided to stop working when I was in Portland all of a sudden started working again. Yeay! It probably needed the rest. All that matters is that I have my phone back and I made sure to put it into the pink Otter case.
This afternoon I met up with one of my best friends - Mikey. I talked him into watching the new Guillermo Del Toro movie Crimson Peak with me.



I love another of his movies, Pan's Labyrinth .......ohhhhhh I LOVE that movie, it's beautiful and so sad. Watch it! Anyhow, I loved this movie too but Mikey felt the total opposite of me, he did not like it at all. I loved the storyline, the costumes I am sure will be up for an Oscar, the environment was great. Mikey said that the character Mia Wasikowska plays in the movie (the leading part), Edith is who I would had been would I had lived 100 years ago.
I feel like I am an Edith NOW. Sitting at home or at the coffee shop every day writing or thinking about what I should write about next and what pictures to take for the blog. Or I'm excited over a book I'm reading or planning to read.
See, I already went to my Vegas office Sambalatte for goodies and to write.



Since I am back in Sin City and all, we started the afternoon of right with a cerveza each while watching the movie. Na Zdrowie!



Modelo is mine and Mikey's beer, we have a special relationship with Modelo.
After the movie we went to Paymon's to grab a bite to eat. My friend Janis joined us.
That lucky girl is going to Cape Verde on Friday to hike and explore for a few weeks. Me and Janis had a lot of catching up to do so we continued on to Madhouse Coffee and sat there for a while.



I missed my friends! It felt so good to see them. I'm in bed now, very tired and also happy.

After about two weeks in beautiful Oregon (Portland and Bend) I am now back in my lovely Silver State of Nevada. I loved everything about Oregon so I am definitely returning there soon......in fact, I can't wait to go back!





The show is on the road again!

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!
