I was so excited for July to roll around! It would mark the beginning of summer, at least for me, because of a lighter schedule. I did have a few trips to Atlanta, Boston, Pittsburgh and Gary, Indiana, but nothing too crazy. I had plans with friends including a trip out of state. It felt so good to relax a bit and enjoy my summer break!
The beginning of August was fun too as I headed to northern Minnesota for some camping! My friends and I had so much fun up in the Boundary Waters. We kayaked, hiked, rocked . . . there’s so much to be had in the extreme outdoors! And it’s so private up there that us girls could even run around topless in and out of the water. No complaints from the guys either. Imagine that! We even headed to Minnesota’s highest peak, Eagle Mountain. But the best might be that there’s nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the waves hitting the shore, waking to loon calls and fresh fish cooked over an open fire. The first night up there proved to be very cold, but the rest were very nice. Couldn’t beat it! Although I’ve been to the area plenty of times, I made it a mission to see and visit lots of new places, instead of sticking with just all the familiar comfy stuff. There’s lots of exploring to do in this area with all the great wilderness and quaint, quiet little towns.
Back from camping, I had a couple of trips to New York and Houston followed by lots of preparation for the Expo in Vegas. I had tons of packing to do, hair appointments, nails, waxing, and planning.

Off to Las Vegas for the Gentlemen’s Club Owner Expo! It was back at the Mandalay Bay this year which was awesome! You can’t go wrong with that because there’s lots of clubs, restaurants, pools, spas, and fun! I got in a couple of days early to do some shoots, see some friends and start with the fun including hanging out at the pools. I always draw a crowd at pool side. Hmmm, not sure why! The Expo’s trade show began on Tuesday and I was anxious to see some friends and make some new ones! It’s always so much fun! As soon as I arrived the first day I went to set up in my agent’s booth. It’s the only time during the year I get to see my agents otherwise we just get by on the phone or email. But I didn’t sit still for long. I had to make the rounds and see the other booths and bounce my big boobies for all the club owners. I must have hugged a thousand people! I ran into my friend Stephanie at the Tequila Rose booth along with Big Frank, Europe DiChan, Rich (the Minnesota club owner I got my start with) and so many more! There’s lots of beautiful people in Vegas to enjoy! And enjoy I did! I was having a blast! In the midst of all this fun, I did manage to get all my “work” done including the non-stop photos with fans, autographs, schmoozing, meeting with club owners, event planners, and the like.

The second day was just as fun. I ran into my buddy Ron Jeremy of course, and my friend Kathy came to hang out with me at the show, and we ran into wild Jerry and Garrett (love you crazy drunk s---heads!).

I also spent time with my good friend, Brianna, whom I’ve known for a few years now. She’s incredibly beautiful and so talented! She lives in Vegas and took us out to an amazing dinner at a Brazilian steak house. We created a bit of a scene and had to take a lot of photos with fans before we were allowed to eat, but we had a lot of fun. Afterward, we got a little crazy with the bartender at the hotel, who was a very good sport! We spent the next day together as well. We did a lot of site seeing. She took me by Wayne Newton’s house, and showed me lots of places in town to do some shoots. Maybe some day on one of Wayne’s horses! As always, when you’re having the most fun the time just disappears and before I knew it the time had arrived to jump on the plane and get home.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make the Minnesota State Fair this year. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t able to make it. I might have been a teenager then and only a D cup! Big bummer though because there’s nothing like the fair’s Pronto Pups (aka-corn dogs), pickle dogs, alligator on a stick and all the other wonderful, but not-so-good-for-you food. I guess I’ll have to make it up next year and have not one, but two of my favorite foot long Pronto Pups! Always a delightful mouthful!
