Kevin had a tradeshow in Vegas this week. We went out the Thursday before to have some fun before his show started. Our friends Blaine and Alison joined us. We had such an awesome time. We shopped, napped and ate some awesome food. We also saw Ka, the new Cirque de Soleil show. It was incredible. So much so that Kevin and I went to see another one. Mystere. Uh, don't waste your money. No idea what that baby part was about or the inflatable snail at the end. Weird does not always equal mysterious.
Howevah... the most "vegas" part of the trip was Sunday. My friend Jen S. was in town (husband Greg also attending the tradeshow). We snuck into the Venetian pool. Then we discovered Tao Beach was attached to the pool. Tao Beach is the grown up, club-type part of the Venetian pool. This place is crazy over-the-top. Minimum of like $400 to rent a "day bed." I heard the cabanas were $2,000.
So many beautiful young people in very little clothing drinking in the Vegas sun. And showing off is some sort of contest - showing off both flesh and money. There was this one particular girl who was really getting into it. She was hot, for sure. She was dancing, making eye contact with all the guys, walking on the cat walk.
THEN I realized that I recognized her! She had a special on Pornocupia (don't judge, I travel a lot and there's not much on at 11:00pm when you can't sleep). So, I went to talk to her. It was none other than Vaniity, the 2004 Transexual Entertainer of the Year. She was awesome, hysterical, definitely entertaining!
Boy, howdy, did she bring her A game that day! The best part was that at the beginning, most of the other people at the pool didn't know who (or what?) she was. I overheard more than one beautiful twenty-something girl in a tiny bikini say something like, "geez, what is with her?!" Sorry, girls, you are out of your league! Homegirl's got a Latin shillelagh under that hot pink bikini with a butterfly on her boy bum!
The absolute pinnacle of the event was when she visited some boys at a poolside cabana. They were very impressed with this uber-hot woman who was interested in them (or was she paid?)! They were flirting and stroking and all that. Then one guy sat on the side of the pool. Vaniity started dancing on him and then grinding on him. It took him a full minute to realize that it wasn't her tampon that kept hitting him in the temple!
It was a complete (now documented) social experiment, fo sho! I had so much fun there. Until Vanity tried to kiss me. That was weird. But I will say, that I can now judge her. I grabbed her size 10 platform stilettos while she was off "dancing" to the steel drums. I didn't walk a mile in them, but I did walk up and down her "catwalk" imitating her. She got a kick out of it. Then she tried to kiss me again. Bad move on my part... Um... as Jen pointed out - do you think I just got herpes??? Whatever. It was fun. Only in Vegas.
