Just a repost from 2020 when I had nothing better to do. Happy , suckers. but cuz

STORY TIME: The universe certainly loves to play games. Two days ago my 91 year old friend suggested I expand my services to bachelor parties.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Me: “You think I should be a stripper?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She: “Well, the pay would probably be more and I would expect fantastic tips.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And less than 24 hours later, we got a request from a doctor to surprise his staff with a “male stripper.” (See first two photos)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, after the success of the (as if he were a ), Freddie headed into the public sphere, ready for more action.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An errand at Heritage Distilling Company, Inc became urgent, so Freddie picked up a donation (Because that’s our side hustle you know, raising money for non-profits).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So we must certainly say THANK YOU to for their generosity for donating to the Greater Seattle Area Chapter - NACE galactic gala and also for their willingness to pose with the one and only
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cheers, beauties!! And thanks universe…the mustaches have aligned.👨🏻👨🏻👨🏻

Small world! Didn’t realize Orion Entertainment and Barbie Hull Photography were there! Thank you GFS Events for bringing us back to fundraise for Villa!!

Decisions! It’s hard to partner with vendors when they fail miserably at their jobs so drawing a boundary and choosing a different path is sometimes necessary.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But do you know who is a vendor’s vendor? of course! They always collaborate professionally and creatively, and are committed to providing stellar experiences. They respect standard compensation agreements with performers and hold a high standard for clear and direct communication. Their follow through is always on point. So yes 🙌🏽 👏 💫 keep it going!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are looking forward to our next meeting where we will get to hear from about improving vendor relationships and more!

A few costume changes later and the night became absolutely glorious (3 fits in total). Our very own hosted the Greater Seattle Area Chapter - NACE galactic gala at Block 41.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were hanging on the as we blasted out of this Earthly place into another, brighter, bolder space, because we were baby! We even met at our final stop!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to the entire team for your creative input and planning. Special thanks to our costume and entertainment team:

My favorite cosplayer and I got to collaborate over the weekend and it was absolutely out of this world. Look at this ?! Luna the Cat was her sidekick and we successfully wrangled 40 children to work as a team on a custom scavenger hunt. Yay team! Thank you for your talent and time.
