TCT- Snap Back To Reality Edition part 1

Hello friends. My, my my is a culture shock being back in this seat. About a week ago I was a littler over an hour into my flight that was taking me out west to Las Vegas and BBW Fanfest. I was nervous as hell to get on the plane and start this journey but I did it. It was amazing. This is me trying to recall all the good stuff that happened. Hopefully it makes sense.

So the flight was pretty smooth. I had not been on a plane in over 12 years, let alone riding solo on one. Of course being a little wary of being up so high i was curious as to where I would end up sitting. Window seat, right on the wing. Seems about right, right? It was good though. Crazy seeing much of the country from that high up. We passed by one of those giant "anvil" clouds that usually mean tornados on the ground. It was monster. We flew right next to it and I saw lightning flashes all through it. Then not long after that we passed through some haze and cloud cover. You could feel how the weather was changing. The plane started shifting course a bit, tilted to one side and righted itself and looking out the window I saw it. One fleeting little glimpse, Las Vegas. The desert oasis of fun, frivolity and dreams. Landing was fine, the taxing to the gate took forever. Anyway, got my baggage with nary a scrap. Hailed a cab and was off to the Tuscany Hotel and Casino where all the events would be taking place.


The Tuscany really is a very beautiful hotel. Its off the main strip a bit, like a few blocks walking distance. I told some people to "step out of the hotel and take a left. when you hit Ballys you are there". I was right. i ended up making that little trek a couple times, both to and from the Tuscany. Thursday would be the welcome party at Club Plush, not until about 9 anyway. So I had time to kill. After letting people know that I had landed safely and announcing my arrival on Facebook and Twitter I figured I would take a little walk down to the strip.

Thursday was probably the hottest day we were there. Being someone that does not really liek or enjoy the heat I think I handled it very well. It was hot, dry and i was sweating like crazy. You really can't do anything about it though except deal with it and move on. There was a reason i brought so many changes of clothes. So yes there was The Strip. Just like in the movies and on tv. I had no idea how much it looked like a racetrack with its eight lanes of road between each side of the strip. WHo knew that Walgreens had one side and CVS had the other was well. I heard that about six times on sunday walking around. Thursday though I made it down the crossing by the Planet Hollywood Casino and then back up to the Ceasar's Palace crossing before going back to the hotel to stock up on supplies, load the fridge with beer and see what the hotel and casino looked like.

Later that night after getting dinner that the restaurant in the casino, big shoutout to the Marylin Cafe. Great food at cheap prices. I could not ask for anything better. So after dinner it was time to start. After trolling Twitter for a bit and doing some light recon i ended up meeting the gorgeous and sexy Lovely Silk @lovelysillk and her girl @femmekittybbw to catch a ride to Plush the Nightclub. After some waiting around some bad ideas we finally made to the club with the crew that ended up riding with us.

I will say at this point, my head is still spinning from arriving, being in Vegas, and meeting and seeing some of my favorite models already. I had now idea where the night would go or how the rest of the weekend would turn out.

@PLUSHNIGHTCLUB was amazing. The locale was a little to be desired but the security guards and bouncers were cool as hell. Guy told me I looked like a football player. Haha. So yeah another of my many firsts for the weekend. First time in the club, first time being a club that was completely set toward catering for BBW's and their admirers. Most of the the events I have ever been to are held in hotels ballrooms either for the night or for a few days. it felt nice being in a real club with a great bar, dj and dance floor. I almost ended up out there as well. Lots of mingling and people saying hello. All the featured girls and models had kinda set up on one side of the place. Silk and Femkitty were bouncing around saying hello and all that. I ended up staying alone for the remainder of the night.
I am so glad I did because while looking around the room I saw more and more of the beautiful and sexy women that I have adored show up. Including some that I was very surprised to see. It was around this time that a fun and feisty curvy girl came over and asked if i wanted to dance. I said yes, but I didnt know the song, so she asked if I wanted to go outside. Turns out while talking she was part of the burlesque troop that was going to be attending and performing. We exchanged business cards (my first time doing that for the weekend) and she had to get back inside. While i was talking with her, i turned and say that the awesome Deisree Devine was outside catching some air. Being that she was the reason i set myself right and got back into going to this thing I wanted to thank her (the first of many times) for letting me be included. She recognized my card and asked how I was. It was so crazy. I asked about getting set up in the morning and she said just follow the time sheet.  Its kinda fuzzy after that, I remember hanging around a bit more then taking a cab back to the hotel and calling a night to get ready for the next day, the first day of the tradeshow.
