Jackson is 13 today! omg. I am a lucky mother. Key west rocking. I am sure these hurricanes have hurt us a little but the numbers are still on point. I think my Kangoo Jumps are working. It's 54 degrees in New Orleans today. I love it!

Bad Hair Day. But Good Eyelash Day! Trying to look at the positives. Heading to KW. I am excited to witness in person Fantasy Fest. Ernie is down there kicking some ass. He fired a merch girl the other day. Separately, Daniel and I both called him " dude the island has a population of less then 20,000 people. We can't afford to fire people." In his defense he secretly sent one of the managers in to the merch store...

American staff coming home tomorrow. I do not envy them. 3 of them are going straight from Constanta, Romania to Key West for Fantasy fest. Fantasy Fest is supposed to be the closest thing to the Brazilian Carnivale in the states. Nuts ! I already see the KW numbers have been going up. They are going to be bone tired jumping right into working the KW bar. Hopefully they will all make a lot of money and everyone will be...

Key West tops our bars in Sales last night under the fine management of Kevin Bailey. I get a text from Kevin last night. " Lil there is this homeless guy who dances in front of the bar every night so I decided to give him a Coyote tshirt to wear. He loves it" Really? we have beautiful girls in the bar who have to pay for a tshirt but the aggressive business move is to give the guy outside...

Unbeknownst to me , yesterday was National Bosses day. I received 4 emails thanking me for being a good boss. Thanks to Daniel, Mac, Tommy, and Jazz. Your words made my day! Thanks so much Both Tommy and Daniel's words actually had me teary! I may be the big boss but I am still a chick and the sentimental stuff is always wonderful!

From Daniel : "I’ve been rewearing the only two shirts I have for the last 3 days as they took our laundry but haven’t returned it. I can’t leave my hotel because all of my shit smells and Jean isn’t answering his phone....Awesome" Lol. I feel his pain. When you work in smokey bars you can't reuse your clothes. If that's not bad enough, in Russia and Romania every where you go is smokey not just the bar, hence you...

3 times I had to ask the accountants to check. Well , I am sorry to say that the accountants misinformed me and Memphis did not have the 2nd highest dividends. They still did great. Nashville had the 2nd highest to San Antonio. "Sorry Mac. Something to strive for. You still did well" Still a bit off today. I have been juicing up a storm trying to purge toxins and get back to health. I ran outside today instead of...

I want to give a big gratitude to Mac our Memphis GM. This morning I was going through the numbers and was astounding that our Memphis bar has paid out the second highest dividends in the company this year! I definitely fall into a pattern of watching the highest grossing bars . But this proves that if you manage your bar well then you don't have to gross the highest to be a big earner! Well done! So proud!

So far the american girls are still more nuts then the Russians, germans, or Romanians. Chantel is working as a manager at the New Orleans bar. She has texted me a few times. " Lil there is something jacked up about Lanie's teeth". Lanie is a new girl and it ends up that she paid for veneers with specially made fangs." that's nuts. You know how expensive veneers are? Well its working for her. Chantel says that everyone seems to...

Opening night in Constanta was a success. Packed wall to wall! Daniel made sure we all had our barkeys since we would all be bartending. I bartended for a little while but the language issue made it very hard. The staff really stepped it up which is nice. I will say the Constanta " Prima Donna" girl stepped up on opening night and was really working. On the other end, the resident unisexual girl really let all of us down....

Long week in Constanta, Romania. The girls here are beautiful and full of life. The downside is that the management has been way too relaxed with them. Finally two days ago, I lost it on them! " god damn it, I am sick of all these smoke breaks. Think I haven't noticed that there are only a few of you working really hard? Get your shit together!" Well that worked because in two days we have made a ton of...
