I want to welcome all of you to VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!! As of right now we are starting off here. This is a guide for all of those visting Las Vegas, people who live here, and over all admirers of "The Scene". I.E. Dragqueen, TS, and crossdressers. We hope you enjoy and watch as we grow. We are posting once a month. Letting youknow where the shows are and allof the FABBBBB entertainers.
We were orginally calling the blog-mag VEGAS DRAG. But many thought there's more to our scene than dragqueens. So many people have so many boxes. This is a project of pulling all of us together. Be it CD, TV, TS, DQ. We are all the same....HUMAN! Vegas is such a small town really. Our scene here is not as big as many think it is. But we do have some fun and great places. Especially some of the WORLD'S BEST ENTERTAINER'S! Which we are featuring here. And introducing groups and others we think just are the CAT'S MEOW!!!

The SCT-G’s are a group of local Las Vegas (and visiting out-of-town) transgendered women who have developed a friendship and decided to meet socially on at least a regular monthly recurring basis. The group is open to others who reflect the pride, respect, and dignity of a lady that is warranted in public businesses and restaurants.
Established in September 2010, the group ebbs and flows in size from month-to-month depending on people’s other commitments, but it was important that a day was established that was constant and on-going, so no matter who was in-town visiting or what local girls were available, everyone would know that there is an event on the last Friday of every month they can attend.
In that, SCT-G welcomes all who would like to accompany us and would only ask that a fun attitude and advance communication is involved via e-mail or phone if you’re coming as we typically make reservations for dinner at The Artisan Boutique Hotel & Restaurant, Las Vegas, NV.
Last Friday Of The Month Of January 2011
Girls Night Out (GNO)
Hello Ladies,
Last Friday, January 28th was the fifth installment of the monthly SCG GNO, and as always a good time was had by all. Madilyn Carey, Karen Keys, and Rhonda Rae (from Phoenix) met at The Escape Lounge for a cocktail prior to going to meet the other ladies at The Artisan for more cocktails and dinner around 7:00 p.m..
After journeying to The Artisan, the ladies from Escape met Jennifer Wilson in the cocktail lounge around 8:00 p.m. and we all sat, had conversation, had cocktails, and basically enjoyed each other’s company. Around 8:30 p.m. the four of us went into the restaurant for dinner and were fortunate to have our favorite server Jesse come to our assistance.
We ordered appetizers, soup, salad, and entrees and discussed the current state of our local community and other assorted things. Much to our pleasure, we were joined by Stephanie Danderson and Leslee Anderson who had just come from attending the Governor’s Inaugural Ball, looking dapper and chic at the same time.
After more chatting and continued merriment we adjourned to Flex Nightclub to watch the show and continue our cocktail consumption. It was a fun and enjoyable night and what’s unique about our GNO’s is that each one is different and enjoyable in their own way, so it’s always worth checking out….besides, what else do you have to do on the last Friday of the month? Come join us…

JENNIFERSINCITYTGIRL'S
Hot T in the City Running Wild Looking Pretty! As a life long tg living the complex life in the city of sin there are a few pieces of advise I can share. My opinions are based on over 20 years of my experiences going out in public since the age of 16. So whether you are a first time "Femina" venturing out or a veteran on the scene femina, Las Vegas can be overwhelming or intimidating. So you will find I use the term Femina which for me encompasses TG/TS/TV/CD/DQ what ever you consider yourself. "Femina", being womanly or belonging to womanhood! First and foremost I have never had any problem at any bar, restaurant or casino, other than the rare semi rude worker. I attribute that to some of the following articles I will be sharing with you all. MONEY TALKS Las Vegas is a service industry town so weather you are having dinner, a cocktail or watching a show many of the people who are taking care of you are barely making minimum wages and survive on the customers generosity. I believe that the venues I have patronized embraced my business and welcomed my return is the fact I tip well. In these economic hard times it is sometimes hard to part with our own hard earned dollars, but by that same token others need to make their rent as well. 1. Try to over tip a little, especially in a straight venue or first time appearance. 2. Rule of thumb for dinners is 15%-20%. I like to leave extra if the service was exceptional and the staff went out of there way to make me feel comfortable. 3. For a cocktail it should be minimum $1.00 per cocktail (not per round) I have been know to leave the first tip of $5.00 on an initial encounter of a bartender or cocktail waitress I have never met. This has paid off many of times by way of a free drink from a appreciative bartender. 4. The gurlz performing at the shows in the variety of venues have to pay for their own outfits, seldom paid anything worth mentioning and put a lot of their own time into their art to entertain you. A lot of time and effort is put into each performance. A couple or three dollars per entertainer in the show is very welcomed by them. If you go to see one of their shows at bare bones bottom minimum you should tip each one performing a buck. There is usually 4-5 performers surely you can afford $8.00/10.00? 5. Lets take care of each other and those who take care of us. That being said if you are completely shunned, aggravated or serviced with a total attitude then by all means leave a poor tip or no tip! |

ASK Miss Slut- Tina Swamp Pussy
Dear Miss Slut-Tina,
I am a bi-curious male who loves all forms of feminity. It seems like all the girls out there just want something from me. Seems they're all whores. Where can I go meet a nice "special" girl???
Bi curisouly yours,
Jim
Jim,
LOL...OMFG are you an ass. NOT ALL "GIRLS" are whores. And yes everyone wants something from someone. Mainly love and acceptance.
I know this is Las Vegas. Many may be prostitutes. But many are not. But please look at it through their eyes. But before we get into that. You need to decide what type do you like?
CD=Crossdresser. Ususally a male who dresseres in the opposite sex clothing for their own pleasure
TV=Transvestite..Same as a CD but most TVs go further and try to look more like the oppiste sex
TS=Transexual . Someone who feels like they are the opposite sex. Who was born in the wrong body. What defines a TS is the body work that has been done. Trans meaning to cross over.Comes from the Latin. So with the body work they have had done they have crossed over
Pre-op TS/transexual. Some one before their SRS ( sexual reassigmenet surgery) GS( gender surgery)
NON OP TS/Transexual) someone who lives full time as the opposite sex but does not want the final surgery (GS/SRS). These people have had body work (breast augmentation and or facial work done or in female to male breast removed) The girls in the adult/porn world are known as shemales. But many do not like to be called a shemale or a he she. Or any other name that depicts their manliness.
DQ=Drag is slant word for female impersonator (F.I) or a gay tv. It is general use world like the word T- GIRL covers it all.
TG= Transgender really is a general world that covers it all. But TG has or is being used now for the girls who are on the way to transition or in transition to get srs/GS.
Many men do not care what type you are as long as you are femine. So decide what you like. Just because a girl is on hormones or not on hormones does not make her any more or less femine. Keeping that in mind let's look at it through their eyes/shoes. It takes more balls to do drag or to transition that it does for you to be a man. Just like transitioning you loose freinds and even family members. In this day and age it is easier. But there are divsions in the drag world and the trans world. Just like the gay with top and bottoms and how they look at you. Bottom line is it is all CRAP. We are all the same. We are all human and want the same. LOVE!!!! The girls how ever usually get the crap end of the stick. Most men want an experience/just sex. Or a booty call. They do not even want to take a girl out for a drink or dinner. Rarley do they want to buy a drink. Then they shop around..who has the biggest one. If they are a pro who is the cheapest.It is crazy. The guy comes. Then goes back to his wife and or kids. Or he has issues because he thinks he is gay for liking a girl like us. Many of the girls get put through it in this manner. The dragqueens..I see it all the time. Guys just love them then hit on them and get mad if they do not want to stay in drag for there little time together. Watch them weekly and do not even tip them in their performnce. It's expensive to perform.,.what is a dollar? If you are too cheap to tip a dollar or buy a drink. You do not need to go barking up any skirts. Then you get the guy who expends you to be the super model and perfect. If one thing is awry..then they read you...Boy wake the heck up. I have seen you with your super model wife in the daytime at Wally World...she isn't pretty. And The queen with no make up on still looks better than MOST..wake up call..and honey you are no super model yourself...LOL..!!!
I do not know you. Perhaps you are a Greek god (MMmmmm Greek). Perhaps you are not like what many have seen or been put through. If you are interested in a special gir. Thenl check out the local clubs in town. Here are a few. It is a mix of all types of girls
Flex is on Arville and Charleston. Jewdi Vines show is Friday at 11pm The beautiful Elena is in the show (married) but beautiful. You'll love to watch her.
Escape Lounge on West Shara. Itis Nitika La Femme's show. A variety of different girls and age ranges
Charlie's off of Trop and on Arville. It is a gay country western bar. With a beer bust. PACKED show is 9pm with the very funny and beautiful Ginger Grant!!!! A variety of girls perform.
Freezone..in the Fruit Loop (near Hardrock near Naples ( at the light) WHAT A DRAG show on Fri and sats at 10pm sharp with Shawn M hosting.
Cruz Inn on E Sahara (across form commerical center area) Fri show with Michelle Holiday.
Las Vegas Lounge back of commerical center on East Karen. This is just a lounge know for all types of girls there. Many TV/TS types
This is just a little list of some places. You can also check out http://www.lvtg.com/ it is a dating site. You also might run into one of the girls at the grocery store. Keep your mind open and always be nice. A girl likes a nice man who isn't rude. Or assume we are all whores! Many "special" girls have real lives. Real jobs. And do not wait around for tired ass men to sneak away from their wife to go do the nasty. Many many are real people. Who love fantasy. So if you expect a super model then you better be one yourself. Bottom line is to be yourself. If you are an asshole then be prepared to be read and hit!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but personality and courage of conviction wins every time. I have put myself out there time and time again; have dated different ages, races, and all different types of men all to end with them not wanting to date a female illusionist and or a drag queen. I met a man for drinks a few weeks ago at one of my local watering holes we hit it off fabulously. We are both in business for ourselves, have the same things in common, and are tired of the “drama” of it all. After multiple dates we discussed our lives more in depth and found out a lot about each other. I am still holding onto my stiletto secret about having a fabulous drag room at my house. He then asked me on yet another date last Friday night. I told him unfortunately I already had reservations to be hosting a benefit show for a dear friend of mine. He asked to come to the show. I then felt it was necessary to inform him of who I am. I took a drink of my adult beverage and looked him in his gorgeous brown eyes and told him, “sweetheart, I am a female illusionist.” He sat back with a puzzled look on his face and then said to me, “you are a woman?” I laughed and explained to him I am an entertainer and I was coming on Friday as a female illusionist to host the show. There was many seconds (which felt like minutes) of silence before he said those words that can cut through a person like a knife… “I do not sleep with drag queens and do not date them. You all are full of drama and have no idea how the real world works.” He then proceeded to stand up and walk out the door. After multiple weeks of getting to know each other and really connecting he walked out of my life. I was shocked as well as a bit hurt. I lowered my walls, I didn’t play all the dating games, and I was just me. What I took away from my time spent with this man is that our jobs in the GLBT community we need to educate our own community first about whom we are and what we do to help others. Then, the world!
Men in Las Vegas need to realize that we as entertainers paint on our faces and have fabulous costumes made to perform for charities and benefits to raise money for other people who are in need as well as for our own pleasures of being a local celebrity. As a female illusionist, I find that men in our community do not want a man who is talented in the art of illusion. I speak for myself by saying; I enjoy being a man and have no plans on having cosmetic surgery to alter my appearance. (Besides of course, quarterly body maintenance of the fabulous Botox, and Restylane.) That IS the art of illusion and that IS what makes men and women as well as Gay and Straight community supporters come out to the venues I perform at. I live by the statement my drag mother once told me, “You are only as good as you have been taught and help others with the knowledge you have been given.” I live by that statement daily. So, why is it so hard to find a partner in the Las Vegas valley to fall in love with and share the rest of our lives together? I truly believe that with all the homosexual slander, hatefulness, cattiness, and “straight” up nastiness all around the world, why can’t we all get along and play nice? Why is it such a struggle to be ourselves?
Is there hope to find true love without compromising myself and what I believe in? YES!!! I know the man of my dreams is out there and we will find each other when we are meant to find each other. To all of you who are still looking for Mr. Right, keep looking. He’s Out There!!!
~Miss Kitten Caboodle~
