My Ephiphany; by the Cowichan's Roxanne Ritchi

[CLUB78]

The best way to describe how I feel about this job is best expressed in the words of the late and great Steve Jobs, a man I begrudgingly admire, despite making his products proprietary and overpriced.

"You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." Steve Jobs

I used to be a stripper. I loved the costume show/dancing bit, but the rest sucked ass. Shitty hotel rooms in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and fines up the yingyang for everything. Plus rowdy drunks, and many of the other girls were so competitive that they would wreck your costumes, try to beat you up, put lard on the pole before your show (yes, like putting lard on a cock because that's what immediately springs to mind), and never mind what else.

I used to work in an office/clinical environment where people would routinely beat you up psychologically. Rumors and alliances and scapegoating, it was like survivor.

I made porn. Acted and then produced. It was fun to see all the naked hotties and take photos, but was full of both stripper job issues and office job issues, meaning it sucked.

Then one day an intelligent, educated gentleman (who happened to look like Michelangelo's David) came to my house and paid to give me one of the best orgasms of my life. The clouds parted, and I cried a little that day....

I had to share

Your posts on PERB are easily the most interesting and stimulating and, as a result, my own interest in seeing you (professionally, of course) has continued to grow. Interest is also enhanced by your photos which make you appear to be a very pretty and sensual woman as well; there is a mystery connected to you, e.g., residing alone...north of Victoria in a rural area (Cowichan) while in the SP business plus several wonderful reviews have appeared. Unfortunately, I live in Edmonton when in Canada so opportunities to actually see you are thoroughly limited.

With respect to paragraph number three, what were the "fines" to which you referred?

Have you considered writing? I mean, about your own life? It could be an expose followed by an expose. Jean Genet comes to mind and there are others who have successfully risked it.

I have to say that I found the videos you posted from "Miss Pain" to be hilarious. The good-natured cruelty reminded me a bit of Marge Gundarson in "Fargo" if she had a sideline acting as a dominatrix: "And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper, eh?" I can't say that I understood how they were "erotic" but they were very funny, and I love the wit you exhibit in your posting.

Thank you very much I am a former Edmontonian myself. When I was a youth I protested the illegality of women being topless by taking off my shirt on the steps of the legislature. It was on the front pages of the papers the next day as news was slow...

The stripper fines were for everything from being late for a show, doing a show less than 18 minutes, being drunk on stage, having people in your room,showing tattoos,... etc.etc... *A little known fact is that despite being crazily gorgeous, some of those girls would literally "cut you as soon as look at you". I saw brass knuckle fistfights in platforms and pasties that ended in missing teeth and broken jaws.

Yes I write. Thank you so much for suggesting I have any talent.

That means a lot to me. Fargo is one of my favorite movies.

ElenaRoxanne: "Yes, I write. Thank you so much for suggesting I have any talent."

Do you write stories? fiction? poetry? exposes? a blog? And have you been published yet? It's obvious that you have style, perhaps your very own style is emerging (writing-wise). And it seems that you possess a good deal, perhaps turmoil is the correct word, to express.

Incidentally, I also love "Fargo" and, in general, the Cohen Brothers. They are always about 10 degrees off-centre. Can't wait to see their latest, based on the life of folk-singer David Von Ronk and his book, "Mayor of Greenwich Village". He was a superb singer, famous in the sixties, a denizen of Greenwich Village (New York City) and helpful to many a newcomer to the folk "scene" including Bob Dylan.

Juniper...I've written plays, stories, poetry, songs, several thousand pages of stuff. None of it is good enough to be published in my opinion. Like any good cacafuego, I'm also writing a novel based on my life story and one based on certain events and justice/revenge. That, I don't care if it's good enough, it's getting published.

The Cohen brothers are fucking amazing. 10 degrees off center is often much closer to reality. Everyone just pretends to be normal for company.

When you publish, will you publish under your own (birth) name or under a pseudonym? If a pseudonym, have you decided on a name yet? On what basis do you decide, pseudonym versus given name?

I was thinking of calling it, Oprah Winfrey, My Life Story, by Oprah Winfrey. Not only would the lawsuit generate press, but Oprah would probably have me on her network and buy me a new house

Kind of like "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas" by Gertrude Stein?

This job isn't for everyone.

When I fist started, I would not believe the woman I saw, that she enjoyed doing this.
After years in this hobby, getting to know a few ladies and talking to them.

Some how it works for them, It suits them.

To be perfectly honest I know one or two civi girls who should smarten the hell up and start charging.

Writing is easy and hard.
When I write for myself it is as easy as hell, when I write for an audience I can still write, and in some ways its pretty good I mean I have posted things and have a following, but its as boring as hell.

Its like I have to dumb it down.

It is hard to say what you want just the right way.

Oh my, a smart and sexy lady by the Cowichan! I'd have been putty in your hands, had you been there back in the years, decades ago, when I lived by the Cowichan River.
