Wuppertal: Okay, so after a night off in Cologne we were to head to Wuppertal. Our night off was an uneventful one, unless your Calamity Kate who goes out and finds the coolest bar in Cologne (Sonic Ballroom) proceeds to drink everyone there under the table and wander back to our hotel before check out time. Pure rock star through and through. At ( Read more... )

On no! Despite Big John Bates' best efforts to keep the Voodoo Dollz under lock and key upon our arrival in Europe we have slipped our leash and Calamity Kate and I are running amok through Europe! With Brandy Bones, J.T. and BJB trying to keep us in check this leg of our fall 2010 tour, things are going to ( Read more... )

John has not yet had a heart attack. Despite our collective best efforts to the contrary. He is still in hale and hearty health, aside from his monumental cholesterol problem. Of course, his near death-by-Big-Mac pronouncement was a wake up call to ALL our mortality. All of us, in our own way, sat down and begun to compile a list of what we would ( Read more... )

It's not without a little trepidation that we set off for this tour. We knew that it would be a very long time (three and a half months) and it would separate us from kith and kin. I count pets in this group. I miss my darling Senegal parrot, Tiki like the dickens. I understand though that the road is no place for pets, especially on a long haul ( Read more... )

I would like to issue an open letter to the editors of InStyle magazine. I wag an admonishing finger at you, you buggers because as I got my fall September issue in my lap I opened up my pages and was horrified. This magazine, which prides itself on delivering fashion news and tales of celebrity glam and how to get it had erred and in a big way. ( Read more... )

I am interested in this philosophy of customer service in the USA. I have been studying this (as well as something I will call "Fat Guy And Screaming Child Safari" in restaurants) with some startling alacrity over the last few weeks. It started with our laundry experience in Chicago at our hotel and has followed us to this evening at Red Lobster in ( Read more... )

So I came across this some time ago and recently with our tour through the USA it came to surface in my mind again. Through the wonders of YouTube I was able to unearth it to share...

So the reason that it got pulled, as is my understanding, is that it promotes violence against women and plays on women's ( Read more... )

Drinking is a funny thing... I find that with the very best intentions I have tried to blog daily, drink in moderation, and exercise every day on this tour. Since I have scored one out of three on those counts, while you can bounce a quarter off of my ass and grate cheese off of my abs, my blogs have been falling behind and the drinking catching up ( Read more... )

There is something satisfying about seeing lots of blood on the ground, especially when it's not your own. In this case it was actually Ryan's, from his prop supply cupboard. It was all over my catsuit, John's face, and the pavement. Not to put too fine a point on it, John looked like a bad blood bukkake victim from a vampire snuff film. This wasn' ( Read more... )

So I'm a few days behind. A ten hour drive from Boseman, MT to Bismark ND yesterday and a lack in sleep leads to a distinct lack of blog postings. However I have spent my time sealed in a moving vehicle well to chronicle our tour thus far, making my job of sitting down to write my blogs easier. This is helpful because a) I tend to get lazy and ( Read more... )
