Stacy Burke Florida Hurricane Update etc
(Fetish Super Star Stacy Burke sent MK the following email today to keep us in the loop. - AZ)
I am back from Tampa Florida, from the week long FetishCon event that l MC`ed. l have 12 hours to refresh, re-pack, pay bills, run errands, pick up new global phone, learn global phone, clean house, etc, etc and fly out to London tomorrow morning (Thursday), then off to Paris & Amsterdam (My European tour).
l missed being a part of the TV Pilot that they filmed at the Playboy Mansion. They are making Life at The Playboy Mansion into a Reality Series, if it sells and by judging by what they filmed for the pilot, l am sure it will sell fast!
FetishCon in Tampa Florida survived the Hurricane, but not the aftermath. Sunday afternoon our Hotel lost power & water. The whole hotel was pitch black, no elevators, no air, no water. We had to walk down the stairwells in the dark to get glow sticks from the front desk. You would think that would cancel our FetishCon Ball planned for that night, oh no, it takes more than a natural disaster to stop us. We got a few generators to run the DJ Booth & lights for the dance hall. We opened a few bars and used candles to keep our food warm for the buffet. Many people came out all dressed up. How they got dressed up in the dark, l`ll never know! l had a fabulous outfit fot the ball, but l could not find it in the dark, so l partied in my pajamas & ugg boots!
The hotel was full of refugees from other evacuated areas. There were dogs, cats & kids running a mock through out the hotel along with our hugh fetish crowd. All in all, FetishCon was a success despite all the problems. l only had 4 temper tantrums and that is good considering all the problems & drama l was going through.
The following day- Monday, our hotel was also being evacuated. Thank god my flight was scheduled for that day. l feel sorry for the people that had to stay an extra day or two or whos flight got cancelled.
Much more was going on, but that is the summary of it. All l can say is, 'God' must be a Democrat. He knows there is a new election and he wants to make sure Florida gets it right this time. Next Hurricane will be named Hanging Chad!
Now off to London for the week long Rubberball Activites & Parties, then off to Paris & Amsterdam! l should return on Oct. 12th, if all goes well ;-)
. Love you, miss you & see you all soon!!
oxox, Stacy
