SPRING IN NYC

I just got back from a week vacation in NYC. It's so weird to vacation in the place you spent the last 15 years. But I loved it! I loved it so much!  I have the best time with friends, eating at my favorite NYC restaurants and seeing 2 amazing broadway shows. WEST SIDE STORY and BILLY ELLIOT!  They were both fantastic. 

All the flowers and trees were blooming. It was sunny but with nice chill at night. 

I did see a lot of FOR RENT signs which I havent seen since 911. The economy is bad!

PALOMINO CLUB

On Wednesday Night a bunch of us from the cast went to the Palomino Club to celebrate 2 birthdays. Palamino Club is the only all nude show that also sells alcohol. Las vegas does not allow FULL nudity and alcohol but somehow this club got away with it back in 1969 when they opened. Excuse me I have to sneeze.... Ah.. AH.. AHCHOOOOMAFIA...

But the night was a blast! I could stop laughing at Jamie cause he has never seen a vagina before. He kept looking at it complete bewildered and amazed. I though he would be wincing and looking away but he didn't blink and almost looked like a kid trying to figure out if he wants to touch it or not. I truly haven't laughed that hard in years. When we drove away from the club my face hurt!  

The strippers were OK not as sexy as I would have thought. The pole dancing was not very good but then again we have the International Pole Dancing Champion from Australia in our show and she's just a sexy freak of nature! Talented beyond belief!

The cast was taken upstairs for a private show with male dancers. The night ended with our "bath" dancer (birthday boy) giving us strip show with just a towel on. He was making his way around the room and giving us all a "private" show. Pun intended!  

Love this costume!

This picture was taken outside the backstage door on our way to a press event.  It's my 2nd costume in Cirque Du Soleil's ZUMANITY  and it's GORGEOUS!  It's designed by Terry Muglier.  It's beads, rhinestones and Crystals. What more could you want?  :)

A recent review from the Las Vegas Sun

This is funny cause they are talking about Criss Angel...  

"A series of 14 acts appears on the tongue-shaped thrust stage (that’s the technical term for it), each introduced by a ringmistress, the statuesque hostess Edie, in a black bouffant, spangled minidress, fishnets and strappy heels. She’s a classically sassy glamour gal, in the mode of Rosalind Russell, with perhaps a few extra inches. Let’s just say that’s Edie’s a far better illusionist than the other one more famously in Cirque’s employ — even Edie was amused when some audience members clearly didn’t get what makes her so special."

Fifity Cent, Ciara and Toni Braxton all in the same night.

It's True!  We had all three of them at the Show Saturday night and can I tell you, Toni  Braxton is an Angel.  

She brought her whole family to celebrate her sisters birthday and they were loving the show and cheering us on and after the show came back stage to say Hi and Good job!  Toni is much tinier than I ever thought. She's got to be 5'2 ish..  But cute as can be!  

Fifty Cent and Ciara were so gross... they sat in there seats with hoodies over there heads (like any one would know who they were).  They scowled and didn't applaud at anything. I'm mean come on.... it's a Cirque du Soleil show. It's an amazing show!  Their bodyguards were in the way of the performers and they ended up leaving 20 minutes before the end of the show.  All I could think was that this was exactly what I would expect of them.  We get lots of celebrities and they were by far the rudest!

Sorry I am venting a bit but the polar opposite behavior of a truly professional lady and the rappers was insane.  LONG LIVE TONI BRAXTON!

SPRING in LAS VEGAS

Well it is officially Spring in Las Vegas.  I have been waiting for this for months. I didn't know that Las Vegas actually had seasons. This winter has been FREEZING!  Not Canada cold but still....   Though I will admit I have turned into one of those desert people that when the weather gets below 60.... "OMG I'm Freezing"

I am now waiting for the pool to warm up!  My whole life I have dreamed of having a pool and now I have to wait for it to warm up. It's torture looking at a pool everyday and not being able to get in it. It's also torture having a pool boy and he's not hot. But I suppose it would be more torture if he was cute and I couldn't have him.  LOL
