Well, I can't sleep. the roar of bikes is too loud even with a pillow on my head (I live a few blocks from Main Street, where it all happens), so I thought I'd fill you in on what's going on in Daytona as Bike Week kicks in.
The new club I was hired at couldn't open in time because of a permit problem, so I'm going to do body painting instead, like I did two years ago. Less money, but not too bad, and a lot less stress (other than trying to paint in a tiny little dressing room with like 35 dancers screaming at each other). I have done it about 500 times all told, but it had been 2 years since I did it at the Shark, so I wasn't too sure how it would go over.
These women can know you, trust you, and think the world of you as DJ, but to walk up to them cold and say, "Hi, you want me to paint your tits, its only 10$" is not the best way to do it. It works far better if you get one started and they see how it looks, then they line up. Some will just never get into it, even some of my favorite dancers, but hey, to each their own.
I use florescent paints, and very bright colors, this makes it take off pretty easily. Once you send a couple of them out there into the black lights, the problem becomes who is next, and trying to keep a steady hand with dancers bumping into you trying to get ready for their set, or freaking out about something. This is the Shark, there are no rules, anything can and will happen.
I had talked to Nick about it and got a couple who said they wanted to do it, then Nick took me in the dressing room and gave a little speech about it, as my briefcase popped open and my paints fell all over the floor. Great start!! I had given a CD to my friend Indian the DJ, and forgot to shut it.
Candy from Jamaica was the first, seeing as how she is the "Starry-Eyed Surprise" I did a nice diamond shaped, eight pointed star with a halo, in blue and yellow.
One of my all time favorite dancers from way back when I started DJing was there (but she had never seen me paint), and liked the idea but I could tell she didn't know how to take it, or was shy, so we did a flaming armband and that got it going, from then on for the next 3-4 hours was non-stop.
The big mistake I made was reproducing with great effort and diligence the colors of the major gang that hangs out here every year on Mystique's stomach. I had done two little versions on the nipples of one of the dancers 2 years ago and it went over well. I deliberately picked her because she has a great body and I figured they'd love it, but one of the dancers who hangs with them brought this huge guy in who was not at all happy about it. Whoops, bad idea! They can wear the colors, but don't want to see it painted !!
You can talk all the macho crap you want, I love to beat hell out of my heavy bag, blah, blah, but these are the last guys I'm going to piss off, so we quickly rubbed it off and painted flames on her belly instead, and "Korn" (as in the band that does "Freak on a Leash") on her back in the same colors, so it wrapped all around her. So she actually turned out one of the best of the night,and it was worth the trouble. Nick came in and said not to do it again (like I needed him to tell me!) and he had gotten me "a death pass" or something (!!!).
When I left there was a bunch of people blocking the way and there I was standing next to the guy and several members with my briefcase (carefully closed this time). I was wondering if I was going to get any shit but no one said anything and after a while the way cleared, so I guess its OK.
The lettering and the flames went over big. "Lick Me" was cool,"Heaven" was nice and "Harley" with a devil's tail coming off the "Y" was great. The pot leaves on Lucky's breasts were cool, they are always a hit (pun intended, Holly!). I have painted on Lucky at least 50 times she is a sweetheart, and her breasts are made for painting! Nobody wanted yin-yangs, I was disappointed. Maybe tonight...
The lipstick kisses on the nipples are always winners, but the best was the "flaming pussy" (now don't get mad that's what SHE called it). She made a bunch of money with that--its not a nude bar but they can flash some. At the end of painting it she showed me how the most amazing thing, how she could clench and twitch her clitoris, it looked like she was coming (she wasn't--just showing off). I've seen some amazing acts of muscular control in my three years in this business, but that was a new one for me!
Then I walked home, having drunk too much to drive with a lot of drunk bikers, but it was a great walk to check out Main Street as Bike Week kicks off! It's going well, there was some concern with the economy and Daytona cracking down (no thongs on the streets, among other ridiculous new rules), but it looks to be a great week, so far.
Reznor, I saw a very slender, cute woman who looked just like you on a gigantic bike--1100cc, I thought that was cool, and she did know how to ride it, too.

. I had a talk with the owner about this problem and he said he would try to work a sweet deal with me to trade for a newer bike. He has his mech to try to fix my bike right now though.
