Hi guys, I’m still alive.

I guess some of you are wondering if I’m still alive, seeing as to how much people I have pissed off with my “I Hate Spearmint Rhino” blogs, and my PETA blogs and my recent New World Order and Camp Fema blogs, which thanks to you have got gotten nearly 2000 hits daily.  I guess I just have a voice, and I don’t really care who I piss off.  I’m usually pretty good about updating my blogs daily.  I’ve been in Hawaii and the entire week has been a drunken blunder.  Sorry to keep you all waiting.  I’m working on some blogs, but they require some research.  I am suppose to go to Bali on the 23rd for vacation, but my friends have flaked on me last minute.  Who knows where I will end up.

Anyhow.  Before I left Vegas, I want to fill you on some juicy tid bits.  I worked at Ricks Cabaret for a few nights.  One night an Indian guy chewed me out for not giving him a blowjob.  I guess it’s a “stereotype” but a lot of Indian and especially South American men think these gentlemen clubs are offering all their sexual fantasies for $100.  In those countries, I guess it’s easy to buy sex.  That’s not pretty far off, but I’m not that girl.  So, I got fired for not giving a customer a blowjob.  Secondly, I never blogged about it, but back in September, when I came back from LA, they fired me from Crazy Horse III for no reason.  I walked in and checked in, when they notified me that I have been terminated, for no reason, and that I may not speak with a manager.  An employee at Crazy Horse told me that it was because of my “I Hate Spearmint Rhino” blogs.  They are afraid of the power I control to expose their underworld.  They are “little old men, like the wizard of oz, trying to make it seem more scary than it really is.”  Really guys, get your head out of your ass.  All you do is run a strip club. 

So I decided to play unemployment and bought some video games and stayed home for a few weeks and relaxed.  I beat Final Fantasy XIII in 9 days! LOL!  When I finally decided to get out, I checked out Hustler club.  They seemed really friendly there.  I liked the way things were ran.  They are trying to weed out all the hoe bags.  Then when I go in the office to sign my paperwork, there I see the black list…

“Do not contract these girls

There was my name on the bottom of a list of 4 names.  I didn’t say anything, but I thought to take a picture of it with my iPhone.  But what does a typed up list with names do? Perhaps I could have got the other girl’s names and contacted them, but  I decided to detract my attention to it, because they were contracting me, and I didn’t want her to see it.  When house mom (dad) checked me in he told me I have to work at 4:30 in the afternoon.  Yeah right.  I walked out.  So as I was leaving, Craig one of the managers told me that I can come in whenever I want and not to pay attention to that.  And I talked to the GM as well.  So I told them I was in a bad mood, and that I’d come in tomorrow to work.  I worked the floor all night, and by midnight I got my first VIP.  When I went to check in, they said I wasn’t clocked in, to my surprise, the manager had fired me.  When I asked him why, he said it’s because I walked out last night.  I told him that I had talked to a manger and he said it was ok, I talked to the GM and he said it was ok.  He didn’t care, so I  confronted him about the list.  I told him he didn’t need to even answer me, because I already know what it’s about, and if his faggot ass wants to suck on John Christous balls, then he play his puppet.  I went off on him.  It wasn’t my greatest moment.  But I just lost it.  It was a hysterical moment for me, to confirm what I already knew to be true.  It got to me for the first time and I went home and cried.  But then again, thanks assholes, because you guys have set the fire and created the plot for my new book, that is going to make me a millionaire one day.  Walk a straight line.

How I met K-Kel

Kevin Kelley, the owner of Spearmint Rhino, met me on my first night.  I didn’t realize it until I was reading old blogs tonight.  On my first night of work in January of 2007, I had made $700 in all single dances, except the $200 an old man in a nice tan suit handed me.  I kept coming back to the bar near the VIP 1/2 hour room, as I made my rounds.  I always was friendly to him.  He looked like “money.”   Anyhow, I told him it was my first night, and he tossed me $200 and said good luck and good night and walked off in a hurry.

Didn’t even realize that was him till I thought about it.  LOL!

What a nice guy!  Too bad he has a bunch of Jaded people running his place.  For the salaries they get, he could have professionals with Masters Degrees running that place.

4Play Contest in LA BS

Last night I decided to go to 4 Play instead of Bare Elegance.  It’s 5 minutes from my sister’s house, versus driving north half an hour to North Hills.  The pay out is also higher for the contest.  To audition for the club, you are required to do the contest as well, so I entered at 4 Play.  Forgetting the warnings I had heard before about them not liking tattoos, I still entered.  Most of the girl’s are pretty, really skinny, and young looking.

When I first got there, I heard a young latino girl say, “I don’t like her ass.”  Looking at me.  Her friend started laughing.

“I think she heard you!”  she said giggling.  I could already tell this was going to be a place where hater’s work at and give you problems.  While I watched the  contest from the side curtain, I listened to the same girl’s trash on every single girl on stage, and compare themselves by putting them down, and themselves on pedestals.  It really was sickening because the girl’s were really pretty, just the things coming out of their mouths weren’t.  So I wonder if they were hating on me when I was on stage.  As a matter of fact, I already know they were.

So I ran into another girl who worked at Spearmint Rhino.  Watching her performance, I’d think she’d win.  She had the best pole tricks and performances, and really knew how to move.  I didn’t do anything too crazy, but I definitely have my moves down.  Not hating on the other girls, but they seemed nervous and didn’t move too well.  I didn’t see the winner perform, but she was friend’s with those latino girls that were running their mouths the whole time.  She had a really pretty face, and a little bit thicker in the back than her younger friends.  The runner ups didn’t know how to dance at all.  One  was really really skinny and had great huge boobs and a cute face,.  She moved really slow and moped around the stage.  The 2nd runner up was a tall quirky girl who moved really fast and didn’t know how to strip at all.  I was really shocked.  She wasn’t really that pretty either.

When they called which girl’s could apply to work, the other girl from Rhino and I were in shock when they didn’t call our name.  She has a trashy platinum blonde vegas showgirl look, but I have an exotic hapa look that differs.  I did tell him that I don’t live here, and he was inquiring as to when I would be moving here.  Perhaps I did not get hired because they want girl’s to commit to a schedule, perhaps it was my tattoos.  It would be nice if they were straight up and just tell you, you need to move here then reapply, or we don’t like your tattoos.  It would save both our times and energy.  And using girls to do a stupid contest, but requiring them to audition this way is BS.  Bare Elegance has the same policy, but he hired me on the spot and didn’t require me to audition in the contest for employment.

What upset me is that there was no audience judging.  Supposedly everyone has a paper, including the girls.  SO the girl’s have input and will hate and vote for the best girl to eliminate competition, and as for first place, she was friends with a large group of the girls at the club and they all voted for her.  2nd place came with her boyfriend and a group of guys so I’m sure they all voted for her.  Then supposedly they tallied up ALL the votes within 3 minutes.  Not a fair contest.   And if me not living here or my tattoos was a problem, then he should be straight up in the beginning because I really needed to work last night and make some money.

I’d like to point out that I’m not a sore loser, I don’t mind losing if I know that the audience chooses, but for them to give me the run around about employment is unprofessional.  And after meeting some of the girl’s I could tell working there could be drama.  SO if you’re going to do this contest, bring all your friends.

Bare Elegance (Inglewood)

I worked at Bare Elegance in Inglewood last night.  The girl’s aren’t the prettiest, but they had the contest that brought out some of the prettier girls.  The staff and dancers are all super friendly there.  They really stress that they want cool girls, and not bitchy girls with attitudes.  My friend Mike said his friend always does it.  She won, and inadvertently I met her without knowing it until after the fact.  I didn’t get 1st place, but I still placed and won a little bit of money.  It was mellow, but the crowd was friendly and generous.  It was Monday, so I think it’ll be good on the weekend.  I’m going to try their sister club in the North Hill’s tonight.  Wish me luck!

Strip Club Hopping In LA

Looking for a club to dance in LA?  Last night I went to a bunch of clubs to check out where to work at. Here are my conclusions:

Last night started  off with a drive South 20 minutes to Inglewood.  In a shady hood (like the rest of LA), underneath a freeway was Bare Elegance.  It looked like a casual sports bar, nothing fancy.  Immediately he wanted to hire me to be a waitress.  Too bad I don’t live here, other ways I would’ve taken it.  They were so friendly, practically begging me to work.  I met the owner.  They don’t serve alcohol here, as it is 18 and over, and fully nude, like other bars in LA.  But the owner snuck me in a drink of vodka.  Sweet of him. LOL!  Then he tried to get me to go club hopping with him.  Mondays they have a $500 dance contest, so I am going to go in Monday to work and try out the club.  I didn’t have time to check out the sister club in the North Hills.  But they have a $750 dance contest I want to do on Tuesday.  I’m wary about working there because they take half of your money as tip out.

Next I went to Jet Strip, around the corner.  It looked ghetto, but i never made it passed the front door.  The guy at the door was an idiot, so I walked off.  I spent enough time working in places where everyone has their heads stuck up there asses for no reason.  Wasn’t about to start working at another place like that.

So I took a 20 minute ride north, and witnessed a huge fire in the middle of the freeway, on the opposing side.  It was crazy and smoke billows filled the air.  It must’ve just happened because I saw the cops as I was getting on the exit rush to the scene.  Maybe this is why they don’t allow you to use your cell phone while you drive in California.  There are huge accidents in LA.  So next stop was Scores.  It was headed just immediately South of Downtown underneath another bridge.  It smelled horrible like pig farm in the distant.  But when I got inside it was nice.  A small version of Sapphire’s.  Because it is only topless, they serve alcohol, and it is a 21 and over.  A relief.  They only have a $20 house fee if you come in late, and you keep all your money.  15 minute dances are $150, 30 minute dances $300, an 1 hour dances $500.  Lovely!  More money for us.  And we only pay a low house fee.  The place looked relatively ok, but for Friday it was kind of slow.  The competition was slim, so maybe for being one of the prettier girl’s I will clean house.  I will definitely try working there soon.  Apart from the bad smell from the pig farm, it’s a great looking club.  Best one I went in all night. Parking was $6, and the valet was nice to me, and useful, as I asked him a lot of questions about the town, so I just gave him $10.

Next I went to meet my girlfriend at Body Shop on Sunset (Hollywood).  This place supposedly is the spot to work at.  When I drove down Sunset it was a crazy Friday night, with young single people, couples, all of the above, everywhere.  Parking was $10 in a small parking lot behind the bar.  It’s 18 and over again, so there is no alcohol.  It was small and ghetto on the inside, but lots of young guys were in there.  I worked at an 18 an over club one time in Honolulu, Centerfolds, and I guess that can be good even if guys aren’t drinking, because young guys tend to be a little more naive, and looser with their money, but just have less of it.  I only stayed there a minute then was told to come back before 10 on Monday to audition.  I jumped in my friends car and we headed north for Blue Zebra.

It was a long drive North, but when we got there the parking lot seemed kind of full.  When we got in though it was kind of slow.  All latino men and black customers were in there.  The girls were mostly black, and not as pretty.  I met a really overweight waitress.  The private areas were nice.  To my surprise, most of the girl’s were getting dances.  It’s a little bit out of the way, so you don’t have to worry about being caught by somebody you don’t want to see, or some industry peoples.  Maybe the crowd is quality, not quantity, and if you’re a pretty girl you will rake house, because the girl’s aren’t pretty at all, at least not the ones I saw.  The guy was new there and said he’s a new manager and promoter this month, so he is going to try get some high end clients in there that will take care of us.  He needs pretty girls.  I’d love to be there when that happens, but I don’t officially live in LA yet.

I was too tired to check out the North Hill’s Bare Elegance, so I head back to get my car by 2 am because I had a huge migraine.  That concludes my strip club hopping night in LA.  I was told to check out a bikini bar, Crazy Girls, but then I was told that it wasn’t a good place to make money.  My girlfriend wanted to meet some douche bag fighter guys in OC but I gave her good advice to go home and take a sleeping pill, and I did the very same.  So I think I will continue to check out all the clubs and bounce around to whatever suits my schedule.

Is a coke dealer managing the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas?

“Supposedly, John’s house was raided this past year and they found a half kilo of coke and 75k in cash. I haven’t confirmed that, but it is the rumor. I knew he partied but could never catch him but once he had powder on his nose. He’s a very careful guy. I wish I had dirt on Toren cause he’s a fuckin dueche but he’s just a kiss ass little bitch that’s been sucking on john’s balls like a tit.”

Wow! Thanks for the info.  I got this message, but also must keep it anonymous for the source’s sake.

AMEN TO THAT!  So I wonder when his court date is set, or if he got an extension, or if he got out of it?  Who fucking knows?!?!  I heard about a lot of VIP hosts in Vegas’s houses getting raided, 5 cars, and lost of cash, none of them ever went to jail, so I’m sure there’s a way around the law in Vegas if you have the right connections, and the right money.  They should have a law against criminals working in the clubs, especially management.  Or at least within x amount of years.  The girls go through a screen and if they have prostitution or felony charges they are not permitted to work.  ESPECIALLY Management shouldn’t be any different.  Cy Waits, Paris Hilton’s boyfriend from XS nightclub at the Encore Hotel just got fired from getting a DUI, as well as Paris Hilton getting a cocaine charge.  Perhaps, because it was in the public’s eye, nevertheless, Steve Wynn announced his zero tolerance policy for management positions and criminal records.  The brand new nightclub, Surrender, also just recently fired all their employees with criminal records as well.

lmao! Hope you all are enjoying my “I hate Spearmint Rhino” blogging.

The real reason Rico got fired from Spearmint Rhino…

“Rico got fired or letting Sean Chester get a blow job in the middle of VIP and sitting next to him without doing anything. They fired him as a manager and brought him back as a independant host. He used to do shit loads of blow in the managers bathroom and once even got into a physical fight with his girlfriend at the time. There was an incident of him passing out in the garage and driving off. The cameras do work in VIP 3 but only in certain areas and we all knew where to sit our VIP customers to avoid them”

Wow so management is making money off us girls and allowing prostitution.  Sounds like the same things going on just with different management.

“The pay structure was correct I think they might have dropped it to 7.50 a girl on the weekends because of the extra manager. [managers gross] 300k [per year] there.  [Pay] 120k in taxes lol! fuck me! What should really happen is all the clubs should be charged under the “Rico” [Rico? LOL] act for price fixing and controlling the market with the cabs. I think the law could apply.

So if they are making money off of us, you think they would be nicer to us.  That’s a whole lot of money.  There’s probably 6-800 girls who go in and out throughout the 3 shift changes, early evening day shift girls staying over late, 9-3 am, and 2:30-6 am.  That’s 3 shifts with girls coming in and out that they are getting paid PER HEAD. Sounds like underground pimping, and most girls don’t even know that they are getting a percentage of our house fee.  I heard it from an employee at Rhino before, but I thought it was just a rumor.  This reliable source CONFIRMS IT!

SPEARMINT RHINO: more dirt

So I got an email from someone who worked at Rhino years ago, since the beginning.  To protect her privacy, I will leave her name anonymous.  And certain stories will be omitted or switched around to protect her identity, and my words will be in [parenthesis].

“When i first started at the rhino it was cool there was 60 girls [I wish there were only 60 girls] on the night shifts but the place was smaller too everybody got along with everybody we all would hang out when we were not at work even john n the other managers bar staff waitress etc would be out too corperate office was in full control at that time but when they expanded the place thats when john grey couldn’t get the liceneses n shit kekaus boyfriend owned the building the rhino use to be a gay bar but he took over the rhino in vegas because john grey couldnt n kevin kelly is kekaus boyfriend hes a big time defense attorney in vegas but the rhino had took a major change when they expanded the club n corporate was no longer in control n manager john  does have his moments but also he has fucked with me at times but he also has bailed me out of jail n i always have ventured off to other clubs but he would let me come back even if i got stuck on the late night shift for a bit which wasnt a bad shift cuz i would clean up lol but they all have changed theres so many girls there because each of the managers gets $10 out of every girls house fee they dont care if the girls arent making money because if they can get 200 girls working a shit they get 2000 on their paycheck for that night plus their little fee they get for the night [that pisses me off.  It's like we're paying huge house fees just to pay their elaborate checks, they might as well be our damn pimps.  There should be laws about the clubs paying their management that way.] they dont get paid hourly the one thing i always did find funny about john his whole loyalty speech [thank god I didn't get that one] that im sure u have heard n its said because he never shows the girls that were there from begining that shit n they all have pretty much left some the other managers didnt like me being there cuz i knew way too much n didnt care to share it ive been fired from there too which didnt make sense 1 of the vallet guys ran over my foot with my own car [Could that be one of my stoner friends? LOL parking our cars that we're REQUIRED to valet?]  n still got to work there but i got fired for parking too close to some other girls car  [yeah that's bullshit.  They will find any excuse to fuck with you if they don't like you.  Why can't they just be straight up. Instead they have to be devious and abuse their power.] which may i add was the last parking spot n she was over the white line but whatever . . . ill give u the brief description of some of them . . .”

“john c- ya hes a pain in the ass n hes unfair n i dont get how he became a manger from being a bouncer at club paradise hes even been canned from rhino a long time ago for stealing but they brought him back.” [Wow! WTF!  What a shady fucker.  They should have left him fired, because he's by far the worst thing that ever happened to Rhino.]

“rico- he charges 1000 an hour to a customer with a girl in the private room thats always roped off in between the dj booth n 3 for 100 room customers have said to me which i should also add thats the only room in the whole building that the cameras are not hooked up  in he was canned for awhile for blowing lines ie the office n he got into his car n hit 2 of the girls car n threatend the valet that if he said anything that he would kill him but he was brought back for some retarded job title”  [Wow. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I didn't know that!  Isn't that considered pimping? He is an independent host and brings in clients, but he's scraping money off the top, now that's shady! I always thought he looked all high too.]

“Lou- he was cool he used to drive me home since we were neighbors but he kept asking me out n i would say im busy or something so after that there would be customers who wanted me to go in vip n he  pulled me out n put somebody else in so one day i went off n said what are u mad cuz i didnt fuck u?” [yeah Lou is cool, but that sucks if he used his managerial position to wrongfully mess with you.  What is wrong with people?  With those salaries, they can have professionals running that club.]

“mike york- hes kevin kelleys best friend n they wont put him on night shift cuz he would tell kevin everything that goes on there its pretty sad that kekau hides everything from him.”

“kekau- he use to be soo sweet m cheery but that place has took a toll on him i had even told him that their egos have gotten so far up their asses since corporate has no control”

“Its really sad that place used to be a great place to work n i agree with u that the girls are doing more then what they should in there but also its hard to compete with how many girls n how the economy is thats their way of getting by . . . i quit dancing i danced for 10 years n figure it was time to be done n the money isnt what it used to be n honestly i dont thing dancing will ever be what it was again.” [It's the end of the strip club era.]

be safe out there

Thanx 4 the wonderful letter.  If anyone wants to share their experience, please email me @ kristiemanning@yahoo.com, or leave a post
