It Amazes Me How...

When I lived in Nashville and worked my ass off for years that I would have to literally kill myself dancing the house down just to try to make decent tips. Our crowds have been kinda up and down lately especially on Wednesdays and Sundays but my point being- because of the storm on Sunday there was about 10-15 people in the whole bar. I made good tips on Sunday with only about 6-10 of those people watching the show. And again tonight about 30 people or so and still made money. I guess what I'm trying to say Birmingham is that YOU amaze me. Whether I walk the house down, dance or do a ballad you always seem to appreciate me and whatever it is I bring to the stage that night. No, I can't get naked, no I'm not going to do some fucking ghetto song everytime I go out there, that's not my style, and no I'm not going to play clique games with you either. I'm glad that the people here have taken time to get to know the person behind the mask and can appreciate the true art of female illusion in its purest form. No, I don't have breasts, no, I'm not the skinniest bitch on the block and no, I'm not even the prettiest. But, I am this. I'm a good entertainer, I know that and I have put years of blood, sweat, tears and oh yes lots of money into trying to make a name for myself and female impersonation my career. I can be honest with myself when I say i do harbor some resentment and bitterness toward that "city" due to the fact that I feel I was never given the respect that I deserved. I'm not saying that I'm any better than anyone else but i know several that I consider my equals. There are so many girls still there struggling to make it that deserve better but yall better wake up because strange things are and have been abrew in that "city for quite some time! You don't know what you got 'til its gone. I'm starting to ramble?! Don't get me wrong, I have friends who are transies some of them are good entertainers and in my opinion some of them are not. Some of us are dancers, some are not and so on and so on. I guess the point I'm trying to make is DAMN it feels good to be appreciated! For some reason this was just heavy on my mind tonight and I had to get it off my chest, so there!! To all of my House of the Orient Sisters, I love and admire all of you. Each of you inspire me in different ways. To my B'Ham sisters, my new family, you've all opened your arms and your hearts to me since day one and that's something I'll never forget. And to whoever wants to read this and think I'm being catty then get over it. This is my journal, my thoughts and my feelings. If you don't like it, don't like me, then don't fucking read it! Fags kill me! G'nite all! P.S. Variety is the spice of life!

That's my Diva!!!!

You are one of the BEST i've seen to come across the stage in Bham or anywhere else for that matter. I love and admire you as Scott, and as Racquel, not to say you aren't one and the same, but i think you knew what I meant when I said that. You are fabulous both on and off the stage, and I am very honored to call you a friend and a sister as well!!! You BRING it every time you walk on the stage, like I told you last night, about the crowd being around 10-20 people last week, you couldn't help but breaking it down when your songs came on, it was in your blood... When you get on stage I love to watch your facial expressions, I can tell when you are feeling up or down, and either way you never let it show in your performance... You are a true DIVA!!!! You always give it your All!!! I LOVE YOU GURL!!! Smooches, PORSHA BLACK/aka/Ferrari RED...

Re: That's my Diva!!!!

Thank you girl! I appreciate that and we appreciate you helping us out. I was just telling Pebbles last night that I'm really glad that we've gotten to know each other better. You are a sweet person and funny as hell!

It's easy to tip somebody when you know that they are giving 100% everytime they step on the stage even if there is 10 or 150 people watching. You deserve every dollar you make.

YOU amaze us so in turn, we offer you our gratitude with our arms extended with a little somethin' somethin' in our hands. I hope you realize that even if that is not possible (especially me!) that my eyes are fixated on your performance, not to stare blankly but to stare in awe and truly respect you as a performer who does give it her all. I'd like to go ahead and tell you that my first experience at the Quest was a Phat Friday with you and I just knew that I would be coming back again and again when I could! So I guess I'm trying to say thank YOU as well for doing what you do, it's truly wonderful!

Thank you sweetheart. Always nice to see your smiling face standing right up front, taking it all in! Could there be a drag performance in your near future?! Good luck!

Miss'n Rocky

Hey girl. It's Anika. I know that I've told you before and I'll tell you again. You are one of my favorite entertainers. You and Jordan are my top 2 and it's b/c whenever either one of you get onstage you never cease to amaze me. It kills me that I can't come up to Bham all the time and see you three times a week like I used to. And hang out at four o'clock in the morning after the show pigging out. But hopefully when I come in town in a couple weeks I will get to hang out with you. Much love, your neice,
Anika
