We did it! First show Successful!

Well, we did it!

We all came to my house prior to the show and did a run through. We packed up all our stuff and to my great relief we didn't forget a thing!

We got to the club early and uniquely created a whole seating area centre stage. I am so grateful for my team and their effort and for believing in us. A couple of girls with a vision and the people who decided that they would blindly believe in us and walk this path with us.

I kicked off my very high heels and started to run around the club moving little stools and setting them up where I wanted only to have the help of Tommy "Sugarface" Malone quickly step in and lend a hand. I love that. I didn't want to have to ask anyone for help as I knew everyone was a little nervous and trying to get all organised pre show.

We all flowed together. We did a few run throughs and everything was good. Getting on stage was good for all of us. Getting a feel for it. No one was getting stage fright, which was one of my fears.

Another on of my fears is that no one would show up.

Tommy looked at me and said, "Just relax, you'll do fine!"

It's not that I'm worried about being on stage, I've done it a hundred times before, acting and dancing. My fear is that no one will show.

Tommy went to the store to get a sour key and upon returning, he informed me that there was a huge line up outside. What a relief.

Trixy, Scarlett, Sprinkles and myself all prepped in the back. I think we were relatively calm....

The people had great energy and it was such a happy and outgoing bunch! They applauded and laughed and understood all of the jokes, even the dirty ones and it made it so much fun!

The next day I must have received about 50 text messages. All positive feedback and I smiled for about a week afterwards. What a high!

I love my team! We're on our way to entertaining SO many more people and we're loving every moment of this journey.
