I’m here at my little sister’s house in the big city. It’s really a small town, but in the village we used to talk about it like it was LA or NYC. The way to instant popularity, when I was a kid, was to have a friend in the big city. We would play “how… Continue reading I'm here…

North to Alaska
It’s such an epic journey for so many that I think it’s permanently stuck that way in the collective unconcious. I remember, as a kid, riding the schoolbus in Fairbanks. When I ran out of books to read I would press my face against the window and make up stories about the people who lived… Continue reading North to Alaska
A good night, and what really offends me…
The men looking for hookers seem to have worn off (I’m told it’s just a Monday/Tuesday thing), and there’s a whole new breed of customer that loves me. Last night three got into a bit of a bidding war over me. On stage, all three came up and asked me for dances. I told all… Continue reading A good night, and what really offends me…
Nothing says "I'm not a hooker" like crocheting…
For some reason every guy I’ve talked to for the last couple days wants me to come to their room for a hundred bucks. I’ve got nothing against prostitution, but these guys are presumptuous and persistent and I’m starting to get pissed. Here’s a couple conversations I’ve had about a million times in the last… Continue reading Nothing says "I'm not a hooker" like crocheting…
teachin' yarbs at the tittie bar
Happy Beltane! I’m back in that little drunk Christian town (my friend said the other day, “you know you’re in Winner when the Pizza Hut doesn’t deliver but the Dairy Queen does!” This town doesn’t have a PH or DQ, but the same general sentiment applies). Last night a state agriculture guy came in that… Continue reading teachin' yarbs at the tittie bar
I've discovered The Perfect Strip Club
I have. It’s taken me the last decade or so of dancing, but I’ve finally found one that doesn’t seem to be a seasonal phenomena. These are the qualities that contribute to it’s perfection: 1) $$$$ – the clientele have a good amount of disposable income, and they aren’t afraid to spend it. 2) Managment… Continue reading I've discovered The Perfect Strip Club
finally got the vanhold all to myself again
 A few days ago we were at a healthfood store where my friend has a membership (she’s got them all over the country), and the cashier guy was giving us a hard time about both using the membership, because it’s not for friends. I told him we were roomates at the moment. “Oh, you share… Continue reading finally got the vanhold all to myself again
the saga of my idler arms
A few months ago I was in Washington changing a wheel bearing and this guy told me that my idler arms were falling off and I was going to die driving down the freeway. It’s cool that if I jack my van up at a truckstop people will come and wiggle things and give me… Continue reading the saga of my idler arms
buck tuckin'
Did I mention that here in small town America they have a name for stage side tipping, and it’s buck tuckin. Â As in, “hey girl I’m sorry I didn’t come up to tuck bucks but you know I don’t like to go up to the stage without my buck tuckin buddies.” Â Ain’t it cute? I’m… Continue reading buck tuckin'
Oh, these tangled webs…
My booking is done here, and I’m booked back in a couple weeks. Â So I thought maybe I’d go find a river in a national forest and enjoy some peace and solitude, but it seems that every national forest is full of very drunk men around here. Â Crazy. Â So I also needed to go a… Continue reading Oh, these tangled webs…
