Oh that's so funny! I forget all the goofy things I did sometimes. I did almost the same thing; moved to Vegas with a boyfriend....had never had a job before in MY LIFE (other than doing some filing for my dad which wasn't really a job).
When I got there, I had NO money, no job, no car, no nothing....and my bf that I went there with, hadn't gotten a job yet either; but he and his buddies were in contstruction so they were out all day "looking for jobs"...(God only knows what they were really doing
). We were all living at this seedy motel at the end of the downtown area, Fremont St....and they'd all go off all day and I'd be left at the motel in our room alone with nothing to do besides watch the 2 tv channels and talk to the maid when she came in to clean.
There was a group of 3 girls who "lived" in a room that was directly across the small parking lot from our room and I would see them every afternoon, coming out of their room, all dressed up in beautiful dresses, their hair (or wigs
) perfect, perfect makeup and a limo picking them up. I was SO BORED...and I thought...hmmm....they look like they're always going out and doing something fun, maybe I should get to know them and maybe I could hang out with them". And I knew that a few guys were either living with them or came over, so I thought maybe they'd have some job leads for me
. What a freakin' dingdong I was, LOL!
I mentioned it to the cleaning lady one day when she was complaining about how dirty "their" room was and how it took her forever to clean it; and I said "REALLY??? they look so gorgeous every afternoon when they go out, I can't believe they'd be so messy. In fact, I was thinking of introducing myself to them and maybe we could be friends and I'd have some friends to do stuff with"....she looked at me and said "HONEY....those girls are HOOKERS!"
. I had NO CLUE. What a dummy, LOL! But I was broke and bored....apparently, NOT a good combination, LOL. I have to say though, it was my first indication that ladies of the night are not all skanky looking...in fact, I met a LOT of them the longer I lived in Vegas and they were probably some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life. I never did meet those girls though, LOL.
