Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number
The Gravity Train: Defying the Expiration Date
The question has become a recurring theme in my “civilian” life over the last two weeks. Friends—the ones safely tucked into 9-to-5s—tilt their heads with that look of concerned curiosity.
“So,” they ask, “how much longer can you really do this? There’s a shelf life, right? You can’t dance forever.”
I usually let out a laugh that rattles the glassware. “Why not?” I fire back. “I’ll be the vintage legend on that stage, popping wheelies in a diamond-encrusted wheelchair at 102! My spark doesn’t have an odometer, and let’s be clear—the girls are still fabulous.”
But when the laughter dies down, my tone shifts to something steeled and certain. I am the absolute wrong person to ask about ‘winding down.’ Just when the world expects a woman in this industry to fade into the background, my career has hit a sonic boom. I’ve secured a US work visa and a three-year international touring schedule that would make a rock star sweat. I’m not just ‘still working’; I’m gaining momentum. I’m turning away contracts because I’m overbooked. I dance now because I can, not because I must. This isn’t just a job anymore—it’s the gravy train, and I’m the conductor.
The Myth of the ‘Pasture’
Let’s crack this can of worms wide open: Fuck the misogynistic fairy tale that a woman’s sexual currency devalues the moment she hits twenty-five. That’s a patriarchal relic, a dusty way of thinking that ignores the reality of the feminine peak.
In my experience, a woman’s sensuality is like a fine spirit—it needs time to burn off the impurities of youth to reveal the depth underneath. True sex appeal isn’t just skin tautness; it’s being tuned in, turned on, and unshakably confident.
Ten years ago, the industry used to put dancers ‘out to pasture’ by twenty-seven. But back then, the culture was different—it was a blur of late nights, hard drinking, and neglect. Today, we are the era of the ‘Athletic Feminine.’ We take care of ourselves from the inside out. I see it in fitness competitions where women (+35) aren’t just competing against girls half their age—they’re winning. We are proving that beauty isn’t a countdown; it’s a craft.
The Changing Room War
The reality of this “age gap” hit home recently when I was booked as the feature alongside two younger dancers. They were visibly agitated by my much higher show price and Feature spot on the schedule, and they decided to use the only weapon they thought they had: my age. The dressing room air was thick with snide comments and pointed barbs designed to make me feel like a relic.
One of them came off stage, her face flushed with frustration. She slumped into her chair and sneered at me. “Don’t expect much out there. Those guys wouldn’t tip me because they said I was old enough to be their mother. I don’t know how they’ll handle you.”
I just smiled, adjusted my pirate hat, and walked out towards the stage..
I knew exactly how they’d handle me. I hit that stage and the room transformed. It wasn’t just dancing; it was a masterclass in connection. While she had made six dollars, I made four hundred and thirty. The stage was literally carpeted in bills.
When I walked back into the dressing room, the silence was deafening. She was vibrating with rage. “I don’t get it!” she yelled. “I’m younger than you!”
I paused, letting the weight of the moment settle.
“Yes,” I said, my voice calm but razor-sharp. “You are younger than me. But that is the only card you’re holding. Younger doesn’t mean better, it only means younger. Not more talented. It doesn’t mean more beautiful, more fit, or more captivating. It just means ‘younger.’ And if that’s your only card to play, you’re going to get annihilated. Because us OGs? We’re playing with a full fucking deck. Next time, instead of taking shots, I suggest you take notes.”
The Final Word
As if the universe wanted to drive the point home, she had to follow my set for the rest of the week. The following week I had crossed paths with those girls and the snark had evaporated. Both girls eventually apologized, realizing that the “Feature” title isn’t handed out—it’s earned through years of honing the “secret sauce” of performance.
I’ve never been haunted by a number on a calendar. My only concern is maintaining the temple of my health and the fire in my soul. As long as the audience is roaring and the stage lights are calling, I’m not going anywhere. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Baby Janine aka Wild Orchid lmao to current Janine Jericho
This topic has come up a few times over the last 2 weeks with some friends outside of the industry, so thought I’d write my thoughts on the elephant in the room, so to speak. My friend says, “So, how much longer are you going to do this for? What’s the length a girl can dance for? You can’t do this forever.” I burst out laughing, “WHYYYY NOT?! I can be the vintage stripper on the stage doing walker tricks and popping wheelies in my wheelchair when I’m 102!! My energy, my sparkle and my titties will always be fabulous! 😀
Then I proceed with my more serious tone, “I am the wrong person to ask that question to. Here I STILL am and going strong. Just when I think I’m ready to wind things down, settle my roots…my career gains more momentum and reaches even greater heights that I didn’t know were capable, like getting a US work visa and a solid touring schedule for 3 years. Plus, I’m still having a blast! I love performing and creating my new shows. I am still so passionate, I’m not over it, yet. I have had a loooong, very fulfilling and fruitful career that I am grateful for. I have everything I want, I am firmly established, so I’m good to hang up the stilletos at any point. This for me, is now the gravy train. When it’s time to move into fitness full time, I’m ready, but why would I when I am having so much consistent success and at a point where I am turning work away, not the other way around? Winning contests and titles, touring internationally, booked to headline events, high in demand, etc. This is my first week off in a year! And I am booked until the end of this year! I dance because I can and I love it, not because I need to.
And now that we are here, in this discussion, let’s open this can of worms right up! LOL Fuck the misogynist perception that a woman loses her sex appeal, sexuality and beauty once she hits 25 or 30. Screw that patriarchal and old way of thinking. From my experience, a woman’s sex appeal and sexuality only enhances with age…I know mine has!! Being tuned in, turned on and confident within yourself. Women should be celebrated in every phase of life and I am a leading example of that. Other OG features are following my lead and also killing it within the industry. One of my feature friends even came out of retirement! I am a feminine, athletic energy. I am waaay better now, in all areas, than I was when I was 20. 10-15 years ago, agents would put a dancer out to pasture once she moved beyond the 25-27 year old mark lol but back then girls would party a lot, do drugs and drink, not really take care of themselves. You can have longevity and sustainability if you take care of yourself from the inside-out. Even in some recent fitness competitions women who were masters (+35) were taking top placings in the open category against girls half their age! YES!!! Sex appeal is ageless and women of all shapes and sizes are sexy and beautiful. Good bye to the era that had women shamed for age, body type, ethnicity. This is a new era where women celebrate themselves and each other…..and men, too! Build each other up, not tear each other down. EmpowHer!!! As long as my audiences are coming out and enjoying my shows, I am not going anywhere until another venture sparks my soul.
I was working with these 2 dancers, who were upset because I was the feature and getting paid a much higher showprice than them. They would make age comments in the changeroom, to try and make me feel insecure, such a typical thing to do. At one point of the dancers came off stage and said, “Those guys weren’t tipping because they said I was old enough to be their mother. I don’t know how they’ll be with you.”
Well, I did lol I went on stage and they made it raaiiiinnn!! She made $6 I made $430. After my show, I came into the changerrom and she was SO angry! She yelled, “I don’t get it! I’m younger than you!”
That’s when I said, “YES..you ARE younger than me…but that’s it. Younger DOESN’T mean better. It only means, younger. It doesn’t mean: more talented, more beautiful, more sexy, more appealing, more fit….it ONLY means, younger. And if ‘Younger,’ is the only card you’ve got, you’ll be annihilated, because most of us OG features are playing with a full fucking deck. So, I suggest that instead of taking shots, you should be taking notes.”
And as fabulous karma would have it, that entertainer had to follow my shows all week LOL I’m the feature for a reason, people are coming in to see me and my shows. This was my audience. I will say, that I did work with these two entertainers again a few weeks later and they both apologized for their behavior. I personally, have never been hung up on age. It’s not something that I’ve ever been bothered by or worried about. I concern myself with being a great performer and maintaining total health and well being.

Breaking the Stereotypes
Peeling the Onion: The Showgirl vs. The Stigma
Over the last few weeks, the “elephant in the room” has been following me around. Despite how I conduct myself, the shadow of a tired, dusty stereotype occasionally tries to dim my light. It’s time to peel back a few layers of the onion and talk about what it actually means to be a modern Showgirl.
I have always prided myself on my “Elite” status. My stage isn’t just a platform; it’s a high-production theater. I think in terms of Las Vegas—huge, exquisite costumes, fire performing, aerial hoop, and the kind of high-octane showmanship that leaves an audience breathless. Beyond the stage, I am a creator: a singer-songwriter who managed her own band, a stunt performer in the film industry, and a personal trainer who designs roadmaps for other people’s transformations.
What I love about this career isn’t just the applause. It’s the Sweet Spot—that electric moment of total connection where I am an empowered woman, fully tapped into my sensuality and athleticism, inviting the audience on an erotic journey. I’m not some “dysfunctional party girl” running from a broken past. I come from a foundation of love. I am a national-level natural athlete. I am a businesswoman first, and an artist second.
The “Gifts” and the Great Divide
Recently, a comment sparked this fire in me. Someone suggested that receiving gifts or having a “wishlist” equated to being a high-priced escort. At first, I laughed—it was so profoundly ignorant. There is an epic difference between an elite, headlining performer doing gravity-defying acrobatics in a costume that costs more than most people’s cars, and the world of sex work.
In this business, “fans” are exactly that: fans. They express appreciation for the art, the inspiration, and the show. I make more than enough money to buy my own damn diamonds—and I do. But when a fan wants to offer a gesture of gratitude, it’s about the connection to the performance, not a transaction for intimacy.
I value myself far too highly for that. I am traditional where it counts. I don’t believe sex is “just sex.” I believe in meaningful intimacy, in honoring the temple of the self, and sharing that only when there is something more involved. I am provocative on the stage, but I am private in my heart.
The Era of “EmpowHer”
Interestingly, my front rows are often filled with screaming women—and I love it. I once had a male customer assume they must all be lesbians. I just giggled and told him, “Yes! Maybe a few! But also, it’s just girls celebrating sexiness and power.”
We are in a “Girl Power” era. These women aren’t there to judge; they’re there to be inspired. They see their own sensuality reflected in my confidence. By being authentic, I’m helping to dismantle the very stigma that tries to categorize us.
The Statistics I Refused to Become
People have been betting against me my entire life.
* The “Welfare” Prediction: When I became a young mother, they said I’d be a statistic and my modeling career was dead. By 21, I owned my own home and vehicle, traveled the world, and raised a son who remains the greatest achievement of my life.
* The “Cut-throat” Band: They said I’d never make it in music. A year later, my band was performing for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, on E! T.V. with multiple interviews on the radio and in print, building up a solid fan base where we held our own shows.
* The “Man’s Industry”: They said I couldn’t move up in the fitness industry, it was all male managers, don’t even try. I became the top producer in three months and a manager in six.
* The “Political” Stage: They said a Canadian girl would never win a major US title. I went down there and took home Miss Nude USA, along with a slew of other titles, simply because my show was too big to ignore.
Happiness is an Inside Job
If there is one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that your opinion of me is none of my business. Authentic living is the road less traveled, and while people love to preach about “following your heart,” they are often the first to throw stones when you actually do it.
I don’t live to make others comfortable with my choices, nor do I try to convince them to change their opinions of what I do. But I do like to educate people so they can make an informed opinion opposed to one based out of ignorance. I live in alignment with my passion. When you are truly happy, that energy becomes a magnet. People might not always love the path you took, but they love how they feel when they are around your light.
Never judge a book by its cover. You might just miss out on the most interesting story you’ve ever read.
Sibbald…One building, 10 people and a Cow
The Middle of Nowhere: Sibbald Session
I had a week off when my agent called with a proposal that sounded like a punchline.
“Do you want to go to Sibbald?” he asked.
“Where?”
He started laughing. “It’s a speck on the map right on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. Population: ten people and maybe a cow.”
He explained that because there wasn’t another town for three hours in any direction, that this tiny outpost was a goldmine. The local pub brought in dancers as a rare treat for the farmers in the surrounding area. My adventurous spirit—the same one that landed me on a yacht in St. Maarten—didn’t hesitate. I packed my bags and said, “Bring on the cow.”
Prairie Magic
He wasn’t exaggerating. Sibbald was a skeletal collection of a few houses and a single, weathered building that served as the community’s heartbeat and literally, one cow. But what the town lacked in infrastructure, the people made up for in soul. The owner and his girlfriend greeted me with that immediate, unpretentious warmth you only find in the deep country. I even made a four-legged friend—a black lab cross who became my shadow for the weekend.
Word of a “Feature” coming to town moved through the farmhouse telegraph faster than a summer storm. It was Easter weekend, usually a quiet time for the industry, but the pub was banging. Farmers and ranch hands rolled in from across the plains, their dusty trucks lining the gravel road.
I’ve said it before: I love country boys. They aren’t looking for a “monkey dance.” They are generous, genuine, and they appreciate the female form. I went through so much promotional material in two days that it felt like I’d worked a marathon week in a big-city club.
The Law of the Land
The trip wasn’t without its “contributions” to the province, however. On the long, flat stretch of highway leading out of town, I let my foot get a little too heavy. The road was a grey ribbon disappearing into an infinite horizon—the kind of “boring” that practically begs you to fly. They say it’s so flat that you can still see your dog running three days later if it ran away.
When the cherries and blues flashed in my rearview, I tried the classic move—a little eyelash-batting and a winning smile.
Result: Zero. The officer was a true professional. “I know what driving these roads are like,” he said, handing me the ticket. “But there are a lot of deer out here, and we wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.”
I looked at him, thinking about the packed house waiting for me back at the pub. “Of course not,” I thought. “I’m the entertainment!”
I didn’t get out of the fine, but I couldn’t resist a parting shot. “You should stop by the pub for a beer later,” I told him with a wink. He didn’t promise he would, but I’m fairly certain he knew exactly where the party was going to be.
Reflecting on the Contrast
There is something so grounded about going from the biggest high caliber venue in the big city to a gravel-road pub. It keeps the “sparkle” real.
A Wild and Hedonistic Night At the Budoir Rouge
Awesome din time show! The rockin audience is an indication that people are in the mood to parteee! Had this wild bunch of business men clapping along to each song just gets me even more into my show and entertaining such an enthusiastic audience. Now taking a lil break before my evening shows, gonna have a hot bubble bath, do some deep stretching and rest up for 2nite! Feelin feisty and ready 2 rock the stage at the Budoir and even get in some hot n steamy dances! 2nite’s one of my fave night’s…alll the lasers, smoke and lighting is off the hook, 2 main stages with showgirls, LOTS of sexy go-go dancers all over the bar and male dancers! The energy is SO SEXY and hedonistic…nakedness and sparkles everywhere and for all audiences XD
It evolutionary in strip clubs…feels like a club in Vegas or Europe. Also working with a concentual motoboatist this week LOL She’ll only motorboat beautiful breats with permission…as I found out 😉
How polite…te-he-he!
Last days in Oz, Back in Van Then Off to Miami!
Working in Oz this time around definitely has been my most successful trip to date on every level. Reconnecting with my absolutely amazing, loyal and enthusiastic audiences, deepening some of my previous friendships and creating some new ones. The energy in the changeroom was a lot more positive and fun compared to my last trips. The girls were a riot to hang out with and kept me entertained most of the time with their light hearted playfulness. Of course there was a little drama..not always gonna escape that,but it’s book material, not blog material so I’ll leave it at that.
I had three new costumes made by the amazing, Julian Dean! So exciting! I’ll post pics soon. And these new shows are already receiving an enormous positive response…especially Catwoman. I performed it for my last show at the Crazy Horse and it was off the hook! Two regular customers who were going out for a cigarette stopped in their tracks when they saw me on stage and stayed to watch the show. Afterwards the one gentlemen said that was the best show he’d seen in a long time…and he has seen a lot of great feature shows. He actually said it was right up there alongside one of my friend’s, Dinah Might’s burglar show! Loved that!! Yep, there is nothing better than a show that brings down the house! It’s that moment (remember, I call it the sweet spot-where you are completely connected with the audience) that I live for, that energetic exchange throughout my display of creative expression; Drawing the audience in and making them feel like they are a part of my show. I had many shows like this which was incredible cuz the Aussie audiences are so much more reserved then Canadian audiences BUT I broke them outta their shells! lol It only took a ‘few’ trips!
My last day Madsion Cue and I went to the beach to soak up some beautiful sun and became quite a spectacle. It all started with a group of footy players coming over and wanting their picture taken with us. We thought it was cute so we obliged. But then two Asian guys came over and they wanted their pictures taken with us….and then a dude brought his baby over! Umm, yes, his baby! He asked me to hold the lil guy for a picture and it didn’t stop there….two other boys came over with their sister followed by a group of guys from Amsterdam! And of course we get on the topic of who has the better pot. LOL I personally don’t smoke pot but I heard ours is better. When I was in Jamaica and cab driver was trying to tell sell me some pot (yes, really) and then he asked me where I was from. When I said Vancouver, he replied, “Ohhhh…iry mon, nevermind, this is noting compared to your gonga.” LOL Anyway, Madison and I were killing ourselves laughing at the spectacle we had become on the beach. Then she looks over at me and says, “It’s cuz you have big boobs.” I burst out laughing! It reminded me of the same comment a wise old crab says to me whenever I tell him how much I love a place and how nice the people are. “It’s cuz you have big boobs..” Just to ruffle my feathers….really, I’m a nice person and that’s why everyone’s nice to me 😛 But then I turn to Madison and say, “Maybe it’s cuz your wearing a thong…AND you have a great butt” LMAO These Adelaide peeps don’t see much T N A out and about like that! I told her just to use her French accent like she doesn’t know people in Adelaide don’t wear g-strings on the beach! “What do mean..monseur?” :*
It was a nice farwell dinner with a group of lovely ladies, including my bestie, Candi, who I was gonna pack in my luggage and bring her home with me. All of who I connected with along with one ol gent, Rob, who was my own personal chauffeur turned friend. It was margaritas and Mexican fiesta at one of my fave restaraunts to end the trip on a high note. And of course, watching Vonni’s show which entailed not only her amazing performance but performances from a couple of up and coming drag queens, who by the way were great!! Another trip down, many more to go! Up next, home for a week then Miami! Until we meet again, my fave Aussies! Thank you for making this trip above and beyond my best visit yet!
Pleasant surprise-Appearing In the 2013 Keystone Calendar :D
WhooHoooo! Was pleasantly surprised to see that my pic was selected to appear in the Keystone’s Calendar 2013 and it’s one of my most fave places to grace the stage! Georgie’s Pub in the Keystone Motor Inn located in Brandon, Manitoba. And alongside me are two of my good friends, Dinah Might and Madison Cue!! Exxxcellent calendar! 
Back In Australia
I’ve had some issues with my website so haven’t been able to update my blogs but looks like everything’s been sorted so am back 🙂
Well, been touring my butt off this year and had some new bookings that I’d experienced that were truly amazing, such as X-Static in Red Deer, Alberta. There was a bit of drama with a girl who unfortunately had a drug problem, a serious problem…on hard stuff, which you really don’t see too much in the clubs I work. Not to say there aren’t girls ‘partying’ but honestly, if there’s a girl with a serious drug problem she won’t get booked. The other girls in the change-room actually had a bet with how long this girl would last through the week till she got fired…she made it till Friday! lol Only cuz she had to work enough in order to pay off a fine she owed the club for damaging her room at the dancer house. Crazy!
I’ve had the BEST time here in Oz, my best trip to date for sure. I have been completely showered with gifts, home baking (yummy cupcakes courtesy of Rose and Nick!) appreciation and enthusiasm from my fave favorite Aussie audiences, I Feeeeeeel the love! I’ve had to work xxxtra hard after all those boxes of my fave chocolates!! lol It’s been such a pleasure performing here! Next time I’ll bring out my aerial hoop and silks. This time around with all the connecting flights through the States it would’ve cost me an additional $300.00 to bring my hoops on top of the $150.00 I’m already paying in extra luggage, so decided to leave it behind. BUT, seeing that so many of you would like to see the new elements I’ve been bringing to stage and expressed how much you want to see them, I’ll definitely bring it for next time. An appreciative and generous audience will always inspire me to bring out the big guns 😉 Plus, I love requests! When peeps really favour a theme or element and connect with it, it inspires me even more.`
Enjoying all the fun displays of devotion 
MNC Finals
SOOOO…you all have been eagerly awaiting my perception of the Miss Nude Canada contest and how I did. WELL…I didn’t place. But before some of you start a riot (some of my hard core loyal rowdies lol) let me just say that this was one of the most high caliber contests to date; this could easily be compared to a Miss Nude World competition. The competition was fierce, every girl brought her A game and there was no room for error, which unfortunately for me, was my downfall.
But honestly, for the first time, this was a contest where there was no contender going in, it was anybodies game. All of the girls were SO good and all had special skills from aerial acts to acrobatics to choreographed routines. And props galore..even a harpest on stage!! It made me proud to be Canadian and in a line up of such fantastic talent! It was like being in Vegas!
My theme was from Hell to Heaven. I had special effects, smoke and lighting. I was a devil that conquered heaven and captured two angels. I came on stage to the Undertaker theme song then went into Dragula by Rob Zombie, Fire by Scooter, Heaven’s On Fire by Kiss at which point my angels turn into sexy little devils grooving to the music, Firewoman by the Cult, then the transition begins….Unforgiven plays by Metallica and I perform my aerial hoop routine and I begin to ‘see the light’ and a white light shines through a white shimmering sheet, I slowly dance over to it, Knocking On Heaven’s Door by Guns N Roses begins to play, I go behind the white backdrop creating a silhouette, I am now asking forgiveness and becoming an angel.
I come out from behind the white sheet, there’s a cloud effect on stage, I’m now an angel and I sing live on top of some white stairs to, ‘Heaven’ by Bryan Adams. Start off wild at heart and finish with finding true love. That was the deeper meaning of my show 🙂
There are so many stories within my story…where do I begin! I’ll start with my demise. My show for the semi finals was going amazing! The audience was off the hook and I was nailing every element to my show and then it came time to sing…and my sound was DREADFUL! It was terrible. The levels were off, the base was so high you couldn’t even make out the melody of the music, I couldn’t hear myself sing at all-it was like I was in a dark room looking for a light switch trying to find the notes, and the feedback everywhere was brutal.
NOW, when I decided to sing I had my ducks in order. I hired the best sound tech in Calgary cuz I knew that this would be a new element to bring to an exotic dance contest. I knew that the club’s djs wouldn’t be experienced in sound for a live musician. But the owner was extremely peticular about who was touching his sound equipment and after many emails, management guaranteed me that their sound tech could do it easily and was experienced.
On the semi finals night the sound guy ‘couldn’t get my mic’s frequency on the right channel’ gave me the MCs speaking mic and was forced to go on stage to do my show. I wish I would’ve been more of a diva but can’t turn back time now. After my show I wanted to stick my head in the stand like an ostrich LOL Seriously..I can sing, I’ve sang for Jay Leno and performed in Vegas and Toronto, as well as many live shows…blah blah blah. I wasn’t sure about making it to the finals on Saturday BUT I did! WhooHoo! Now it was time to get things sorted for Saturday.
First thing in the morning I went down to the venue and spoke with management. I also emailed upper management and called my agents. I wanted to bring in my sound tech but they reassured me they’d get it right this time and send in their tech early to fix the problem. And he did. It was a bittersweet moment to see him pull out a sound board that they had all along and plugged my mic into it with no problem. I couldn’t believe it. It was disheartening BUT the show must go on and if anything, time to redeem myself.
AND…my sound was amazing! Vocals were clear and everything sounded beautiful and on perfect pitch. I was SO proud of my show on the eve of the finals. I had customers throwing up $100s, $50s and full rolls of looneys as I serenaded the audience! The doorman came up to me after my show and said, “All this money is for you! The owners said we could keep any looneys or $5s thrown on the stage but I can’t keep all this, you deserve it, that was truely fanastic!”I then was booked with dances for the rest of the night 😀 I felt amazing, I did the best I could, with what I had from where I was, and that is that. I even had another competitior tell me, “WOW, you are a real singer…not even like karoake but a real singer!” Ummm thanks?
You see, they add the scores from Friday and Saturday together so it really didn’t matter how good I did on Saturday if I scored low on Friday. But that’s OK! From what I hear the girl who one, Onyx, was absolutely incredible and had the judges on their feet-you can’t argue with that! This one just wasn’t in the cards for me…at all. I had a lot of issues going into this comp, like not being able to do pyro or fire (took the pyro course specifically for this contest just to be told I coudn’t use it the week before the contest) my lil angels kept flaking out, leaving me to scramble at the last minute to find girls to help me with my show, my special effects didn’t work for the first show and then the singing.
Even still, the singing may have been a little too off the wall for an exotic dance contest, too. What I do know is that this was an amazing experience, it was a well run contest-HUGE KUDOS to Ken and Independent for running such an excellent, fair, no drama contest and I did get a lot out of it in many other ways. Does it suck to walk off stage empty handed, yes but I gained so much on the heart level that it more than makes up for that…well almost lol 🙂 Deepened some friendships and created some new ones, I got to sing my heart like a rockstarr, I got to watch my vision unfold before my eyes, my lil sis came on stage with me and show her support in the biggest way (THAT’S another story) and ALL the people who came together to help me out and be a part of this. YAAAY! Lots to be thankful for xxoo
So my stories within this story are to come over the next couple days 🙂 And a video of my show!!!!
The Semi Finalists Announced for MNC…
So tonight was the big night, the first cut from 24 girls down to 12 for the semi finals for Miss Nude Canada. I just want to say that I had an amazing time performing in the contest and this year each girl has brought her A game. The competition’s been stiff but have to say, a positive vibe so far and everyone’s been helpful and fun….def not the norm for one of these contests. Surprising since 16 contest girls are staying in the dancer house lol Thought some craziness would surface but nope, everyone’s been pretty mello. Regardless, I have completely enjoyed my trip here in Calgary, the people and working at the BuDoir Rouge, which is the most beautiful club I’ve worked in.
SO…..they call each contestant up one by one till all 24 of us ladies are on stage, then they begin calling out the 12 semi finalists. As each person’s name is being called my heart skips a beat. Then the MC announces, “These are all of your semi finalists for Miss Nude Canada, give them a round of applause!” Yes, my name wasn’t called. A couple of girls, one being my friend, Dinah Might (who made it through btw-WhooHoo! Congratz babe) looked at me and pouted and I shrugged my shoulders and said, “It’s alright. I’m ok.” Sure a lil disappointed but I was ok, I did my best.
THEN someone says, “You’re missing one girl…there’s only 11.” So the MC says, “Missing one girl, well then, everyone give me a drumroll please!” So all the customers start pounding on their tables and the girls on stage start banging their hands on their knees and he yells out, “The final contestant going through to the finals is…JANINE JEEEEERRRICHOO!”
YAAAAAAAY! I wanted to kick their asses for that one LMAO but YAAAAAAAY! Going throught to the semis, my showtime is 9:40pm and now I know exactly what I need to do to smooth out show and change a few things that didn’t work previously. OH YES…and my voice is back!!! Thanks everyone for sending me positive, healing and supportive vibes-they worked! 😀
Radio Interview On CJAY92 in Calgary
Myself and my fabulous good friend, Dinah Might will be doing a radio interview at 9AM Sharp on www.cjay92.com tomorrow August 9th at 
9AM sharp!! Tune in peeps!! XD
Back in K-Town at the Liquid Zoo! Three Prong Triple Barrel…..LOL
Back in Kelowna working one of my fave places, the Liquid Zoo. So far it’s been a busy start to the week, seeing lots of my fave familiar faces in the audience 🙂 And yes, it’s been rockin so far! Excellent enthusiastic and generous audiences and a great line up of girls. Myself and Natalia are going to practise doing a routine with silks and potentially bring it to stage for Saturday night as a X-TRA SPECIAL DUO performance; Cirque De Soleil striptease style! And seeing that we both have Russian in our backgrounds we’ll call ourselves, From Russia With Love LOL Shaken….not stirred…a whole lotta shaken! 😀 But always fun to have someone to monkey around with and practise circus skills on stage.
The other dancer working this week, Miss Tygra Banks is an amazing pole dancer, flipping around that pole looking like a drops of water flowing so naturally and smooth she’s definitely inspired me to expand my skills even more. I LOVE it when I can get inpired by watching another entertainer. She’s gonna help me with polishing off a few moves and I will return the favour in another area that she could evolve in. Did I say GREAT line up….oh yes I did! Great when you can work with girls, exchange tools in evolving new skills, inspiring each other and feeding off of that cooperative energy wanting everyone to succeed rather than push each other down which happens far too much in this industry. Plus it makes for a week full of fun and a lil mischief in the change room 😉
Funny moment: We opened the curtain and the window in the change room due to all the hairspray fumes lol and the window faces a back alley. It’s getting a little darker outside and there was a car in the back alley. It looked like no one was in it. The one girl who was naked stood in front of the window and said, “Oops, I have to bend over and pick this up.” and she bent over pretending to pick something up on the floor. “Then she giggled and said, “Is that a cop in there….haha could you imagine..” WELL, a moment later the car drove away!!!! There WAS somebody in the car! We all laughed our pants off…literally! So funny. And the phrase that pays for the night, “Even if you pinch it a little, it’s still loose.” (Talking about a hair weave LMAO)
‘O CANADA!’
SO good to be home! I love my travels and experiencing different cultures and countries but there really is no place like home or my home audiences and tonight was such a pleasant reminder. I’m at the Red Lion in Victoria and had yet again another good week that just keeps getting better! When I have an audience like I did just now for my last show it’s SO exhilarating that I have to slowly wind myself back down so I can eventually go to sleep. There’s a moment during a show when I’m completely connected with the audience, I call it the sweet spot, and THAT is why I love what I do, for that moment. It’s the most amazing feeling in the world 🙂
I had a nice treat today, a few customers had to leave before my show, so they each gave their friends who were staying tipping dollars to give to me. Also had half the front row full of Americans who stayed through the hockey game to wait until I was back on again; they wanted to leave cuz they didn’t want to watch hockey…WTH I told them not to say that too loud. Didn’t you guys see what happened in Vancouver last year when we didn’t win the cup? Those are like fighting words in this neck of the woods. LOL But I completely appreciated that! Happy they enjoyed my performance. And of course, my fave ladies came out in full force tonight. The one DJ called me a chick magnet….ummmm, YEP! 😀 Love all that feminine energy, sexiness and support.
I had the BEST time in Australia. I stayed in a couple of hostels along the way…that was interesting. I actually didn’t mind the whole ‘backpacker’ experience, it was actually a great way to meet people along the way and the girls I roomed with were all very nice. I did my best to conceal all the sparkles and sequence in my luggage in the effort to keep the fact that I am bit of a sensual starlet and a provocative one at that, to a minimum. I love what I do but there are moments where I prefer to be more discreet with my 
profession. It usually sparks an endless conversation consisting of mostly questions and sometimes I rather not spend all my time talking about work; sometimes. I do like to learn about other people, too 😛 It’s just a juicy topic and I appreciate people’s inquisitiveness.
In Australia I did the flying trapeze which was insane!! I conquered my fear of heights from a ledge, well, for that moment. lol I actually didn’t think I was going to be able to do it. I even told the guy when I got up there I couldn’t do it but he kept talking me through it. I finally let go of the platform, placed both hands on the trapeze bar and away I went!. Even did a back-flip my first time! It was incredible! I then went up another 6 times and got to the point where I could ‘make the catch’ from another guy on a trapeze who’d catch me and then dismount with somersaults or back-flips. I knew it-I should’ve joined the circus! LOL This is only after I also started learning ariel hoop from my amazing instructor, Sylvia Louise aka AcroSilver, and after 3 classes was able to perform a 2 minute routine. Ariel hoop comes a lot easier to me than pole work. It’s crazy! And not just ‘looking pretty’ poses but some challenging moves and I just breezed through it.
I got to hang with my besties, Candi, Justine and both of their hubbies and it really made my trip worth while. Those Aussies are so hospitable, at one point a friend of a friend acted as a tour guide and totally took care of Candi and I while we were in Melbourne. Chivalry isn’t dead! He showed us the sights and was a true gentlemen. But then again, he’s was hanging out with two hotties 😉 I kept laughing, Candi has new boobs and kept playing with them, unintentionally, and he would try SO hard not to look but come on…lol ‘A for effort!’ The guy at the trapeze school even asked us why we were in such good shape and what did we do. Hmm, what do you mean? Don’t you have a lot of ladies with big boobs and trim bods learn trapeze? Bahaha
As far as New Zealand goes, that’s a whole other blog with a 
potential litigation in suit, so no comments at this time but will definitely will keep you all updated on the unravelling of that situation….One thing that I thought was awesome was the customers that were coming in to see me would start singing, ‘O Canada’ every time I walked in the room. I thought that was hilarious. But as far as other issues, I’m not at liberty to discuss them at this time :/
On a positive note, I’m getting ready for a few big competitions! My On Season has begun and am 10 weeks out to my next comp! Dun dun dun daaaa! SO excited! 😀 And there could be another reason to sing ‘O Canada’ 😉
the Liquid Zoo
I’m back in Kelowna at the Liquid Zoo, one of my newest fave places to be! LOVE the club, a true show-bar. An AMAZING staff all around from the doormen, the hot waitresses, excellent DJs (one of my most fave and important things in a club, as many of you know lol) right on through to bartenders and management. The decor is electric with a night club vibe and the stage is built like a cage, with 4 poles on each corner on the stage and cross bars at the top to monkey around on LOL Too much fun! Definitely keeps me busy during my shows and gives me an extra workout for the day with all those chin ups and playing on the poles!
The audiences are SO generous and enthusiastic-LOTS of sexy ladies coming out and showing their appreciation, giving all the guys a run for their money, though many of the men here are pretty top notch as well. I’ve signed so much boobage here I feel like Vince Neil at a Montley Crue concert! But I have something on all those rockstars, I get to sign 6 packs as well…the guys like to get in on the body signing action, too. Yep, I LOVE my job 😀
Was a crazy drive out here, though. The highway driving out here was a nightmare!! Heavy winter, mountain conditions :S People were in ditches, including the big trucks w chains on their tires, peeps were spinning out right in front of me! My heart was beating a million beats per sec..so it felt BUT I had faith in my Super Cooper with my super snow tires n plugged right on through and around the chaos. The guys in their big trucks would just watch me pass them in my Mini lol After I had make it to Kelowna safe and sound I heard they closed much of the highway off. Perfect timing for me. And I arrived to a beautiful, sunny day!
Well, first night went off without a hitch. A busy, rowdy night and a grrreat way to start off the week! Already went through 25 posters, not too bad for a Monday eve. Good line up of girls this week as well. Great costumes, good attitudes and entertaining shows. Looking forward to getting all messy with finger-painting and a water show Saturday night, you know, the usual 😉 The wetter the better!!
High Quality Showgirl/Feature School In the Works!
So, after much deliberating I’ve decided to develop a program specifically for those dancers who want to evolve as entertainers, more towards grooming girls to be Feature performers but will also take on girls who may want to develop into a high quality showgirl if the Feature role isn’t exactly a right fit for her. In my travels around the globe I’ve noticed a serious lack of top quality performers and it’s NOT because these girls don’t have what it takes, they just don’t know what to do or the tools they need to not only put on a great show but to be bookable and bankable every week and at every booking. There just aren’t any mentors around anymore for the new girls coming into the industry.
Many dancers out there today think a show is all about showing and shaking your tits and ass….WRONG! Or that featuring means nicer costumes and a boob job…WRONG again! Well, maybe in a few places that’ll work but not as a high quality feature being booked around the world. That’s not enough. Even a great show doesn’t stand on it’s own anymore, girls need to go the extra mile and be friendly and personable to generate a loyal following in today’s industry. It’s all about the art of striptease and cultivating an audience and really, if you put on a great show, the audience doesn’t even care what or how much nakedness you show. But as I said previously, cultivating an audience is one of the most important things. There are a few girls with great shows out there but have a terrible attitude with customers/audiences and people will not come back in to watch a girl like that no matter how great she performs or how much fire she blows out her ass. lol You want customers to rave about you, not complain about you. Your attitude on and off the stage is one main element that’ll make or break a girl and club managers take notice of how busy the bar is when you’re working and how the customers respond to you. One question I’ll always ask a girl who wants to feature or who already is featuring but not getting many bookings is, “Who’s coming in to watch your shows? How many people are coming in to watch your shows? How many people out there right now are here to see YOU? How often do you get held over at a club? How many clubs are specifically requesting you?” There’s one insight for you. And bar WILL pay when there’s someone worth it. They WILL go over their ‘cap’, I know from my own experience. But you need to show your worth and I can help you develop that.
I will teach everything from attitude on and off the stage, how to connect to an audience, put on a show from music to costumes to personality to reading an audeince, how to work with the agents, DJs and bar managers, how to build your name and popularity, how to market yourself and be booked all around the world and a lot more…..everything included from the entertainment realm to the business side of things because ultimately, if you handle the business side efficiently, that in itself will yield you great success but many girls don’t even know what that means.
It’s time to bring QUALITY back to the stage and bring back the average Joe customers who came into clubs for the high caliber entertainers and just to have a beer with his friends. When you take quality off the stage, you eliminate your average customers who aren’t coming into the club for private dances but who are coming in for a fun, relaxed boys/girls night out. And they will come in and COME BACK in for a great entertainer they connect with. Well ladies, THAT could be you! Make the most of this career while you’re in it, there is a lot of room at the top for girls hungry enough to work for it. There is work everywhere and every week for high quality entertainers.
I will be quite selective as to who I take on and therefore will have an application process. The ladies I train will need to fit the all the right criteria in order to be in this program. I’m still developing the program but am hoping to have it available to ladies for the Fall of 2012.
Here At Danny’s in Hanover, Ontario (Where Everybody Knows Ur Name)
Well, here at Danny’s in Hanover, Ontario! Thought I’d just drop a quick hello and post a pic with one of the lovely ladies I’m working with this week, Karina-a true lil hottie!! One of my fave things about this place is the people. The staff are amazing and make this an easy and fun working environment. When my agent first asked me to go to Hanover I was like, “Where? Is that in Canada?” lol As it turns out, this small town is the biggest town in it’s area, so Danny’s became the hub for all the neighboring counties with it’s great staff, comfortable atmosphere and consistent sexy ladies. It really does feel like, ‘Cheers’. Whenever someone walks through the door I just think of the scene where Norm walks in and everybody says, ‘Norm.’ lol
It’s been a nice start to the week, a lil quiet due 2 pre-holiday errands but have been SO happy to see many of my familiar faces already and am exxxcited to see a great crowd out for the rest of the week-and from all the enthusiasm I’ve been receiving in Facebook messages and posts, it should be rockin 🙂
I’ve just started choreographing my dominatrix/batgirl show using red duct tape! Nothing like getting a lil sticky! But it looks and feels so sexy and I love that it’s quite a unique element to add. Will try to have some video footage in 2 weeks when I’m gracing the stage in Montreal for the grand opening of Studio 300. Just can’t keep me away now that I’ve had a taste for the French! And from what I hear, now that they’ve had a taste of me, they say I taste pretty good too, so the feelings are mutual 😉 Te-hehe
It’s a HUGE week with Playboy T.V. being there amongst other industry professionls and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.
Bonjour les amis mon! On the Quebec Tour!
Well, have my rental car and have been booting around this wonderful French land n practising moi qui parle français! Oui, Oui!! I haven’t spoken the language in years but am picking it up again quite quickly and can read and understand it better when other people speak it rather than me speaking it. I think that’s cuz I’m still feeling a little shy to speak it. But practise makes perfect and the people out here are taking the time and helping me along. They appreciate the effort 🙂
Being from the West Coast and traveling to China a few times I made it more of a priority to speak Cantonese, which isn’t even spoken very much anymore, the more common language for Chinese is Mandarin. But I am now inspired to brush up on both French and Spanish. I LOVE languages and learning new tongues 😉
I’ve got two words…poutine and smoked meat sandwhiches!! SO GOOD! They even have poutine at Tim Hortons! Ha ha, I think that’s awesome.
It’s like being in a different country over here and I’m just taking it all in. I’m currently working at Sexy Hollywood, a smaller club that offers a more intimate vibe and am getting a feel for these French audiences. Had a fun ‘paint date’ last night! And the crowd Thursday eve gave a warm welcome 🙂
The absolute, most sure-fire way of physically moving in the direction of your dreams, on a day-to-day basis, without messing with the “cursed hows,” is living them, now, to any degree that you can.
And you can ~Mike Dooley~
Creative Juices Are Flowing n Growing!
Really excited these days! I’m currently writing a screenplay for my blogs. I have some interest from the film industry on bringing my adventures to t.v. *fingers crossed* Also on the agenda is: writing songs to record, I have a 
meeting with a director for a potential role in a movie, I got a new puppy to train AND I’m 6 weeks out to my next fitness competition biotches! Yep, lots on my plate but with my healthy appetitete I’ll take a second helping! Bring it on! Whoot whoot! Dream big and always shoot for the moon cuz even if you miss you’ll and among the stars. My mom always used to tell me that 🙂 Another fave quote: The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss, but that it is too low and we reach it.” – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Michelangelo :0)
Not to mention I’m back here in Winnipeg where I’m sure one day Rick, my agent, will bronze my jamming shoes. lol This is where in between my feature shows I have jam shows all over the city. I usually will perform 12-24 shows in a week but here in Winnipeg that goes up to 40+! And that’s on top of my 2 hour a day gym sessions training for my comp. When I’m prepping for a fitness competition my training is quite intense along with the diet but I LOVE every minute of it and truly ‘In-joy’ the whole process.
And nope, no takin an easy here due to my crazy work schedule, it’s play hard or don’t play at all! When I compete I go for gold so my focus each workout and each day with my meals is set on that win and walking off stage with a 1st place trophy! As I said, I enjoy the process, I’ve always been an athlete and this is another platform where I can really reach above and beyond my previous limits and continue to evolve physically, mentally and spiritually, however, at the end of the day it’s also great to walk off stage with a 1st place trophy in hand! I will own that. Peeps say they competefor the experience or just for fun, when I compete, I compete for number 1! And no matter how well I do, I know that I am already a champion cuz being a champion is in the attitude you carry.
I have been truly blessed on this road trip, my driver is a former bodybuilding champ and at 57 is going for it again next year! And I think he’ll win! So he totally understands the process I’m going through and is even helping me eat extra clean by cooking me the most amazing chicken along with taking care of my lil pup so I can train in the afternoons. A trainer away from my trainer lol A HUGE thank you goes out to Valentine Payne for totally giving me all the support, motivation and extra dose of inspiration I need on this competing journey right now. Definitely an angel looking out for me. And he’s a personal trainer as well so if anyone’s looking for a great trainer add him on Facebook and get in touch for further details.
Here I go of week #2 in Winnipeg and so far it’s been great! I was at Teasers and 3D last week and at the Marion and Solid Gold this week. Having a blast at both places so far! It was excellent having a room full of peeps from T-Bay last night. Of course the rowdies were from there, I should’ve known! Coming into Winnipeg to catch a Jets game and Janine Jericho-LOVE IT!
And just to be clear, the movie opp is NOT an adult film or in that industry whatsoever. I’m a showgirl, not a porn star and wouldn’t ever take that road. Not that I have anything against it, I believe every one’s got their own journey to take and wouldn’t ever judge, it’s just not my cup of tea. I hate to burst any naughty promiscuous fantasies but honestly, for me, sex isn’t just sex, it’s so much more than that and I prefer to keep what goes on in the bedroom, or in the kitchen, or on the airplane, in a public washroom, on a bus or in a truck…te-he-he, for someone special and who I care deeply for. THAT’S what really gets me off; true passion and intimacy so you really can unleash all your inhibitions with someone you trust and care about bringing it to a higher level of pleasure…in private and not for film or movies, unless maybe a home made movie! lol And I wouldn’t want to ‘act’ in those films anyway, just give me 
the real deal thanks!
