Thank You, Vegas!!!
A Special Note From Java
Well, I'm just about recovered from my trip to Las Vegas and I have to
say a heart-felt "Thank You" to everyone who helped make the very first
Java's Bachelor Pad Cocktails and Cheesecake Party a smashing
success. We saw some great burlesque acts, listened to a great band, hung
out with the most beautiful pin-up gals, and raised a few dollars for Exotic
World. I'll have pictures to share in just a bit, but first
let me give mention to some of the individuals who helped make my dream
of a pin-up get-together come true...
Thank you to my co-hosts Kay O'Hara
and
Gigi Valiant who couldn't
have been more charming. Kay is a force of nature and Gigi
is one of the smartest women I know. It was her tireless efforts that really
made this thing happen.
Thank you to our amazing burlesque gals: Lolita
Haze, who started the show and made everyone go wild with her
tassel twirling. Jax
from the Boston Babydolls, who was the cutest cowgirl this side of the
Rio Grande. Zaraa
Ra'Naa, who is a burlesque powerhouse making jaws drop all
over the room. And the red-hot Kalani
Kokonuts, who raised the temperature in the room about 100
degrees.
Thank you to the great rockabilly band Brian
Jay and the Rockin' Jesters! Half-naked gals are a tough act
to follow, but these guys kept the bar rocking.
Thank you to Augusta aka Penny
Starr Jr. who manned the raffle table looking fabulous in her
crutches and losing her voice for a good cause.
Thank you to Jeanne Carmen and
Dixie
Evans for being our special honored guests. I don't know how
many pictures these gals took with people. They are both amazing and inspirations
to every one!
Thank you to the Art Bar and our killer dj's Cody and Special Guest
DJ.
