The Girls Next Door... are having technical difficulty..
Yes... they have a little computer set up at the brothel.. They use it to stay in touch with their families around the world..and to surf CL and other sites to drum up business when things are slow. before i left I spoke with "girl zero" (so named because she was the first one i met and eventually ended up introducing me to some of the other girls..now i can pretty much trace ALL of the DC "girls next door" i have EVER met back to her) I gave her my blog address and I asked her to check it out. If they were game i wanted to put some of their stories up here. she smiled and nodded enthusiastically.. which really doesn't mean much because even when she is saying no..she is usually smiling and nodding enthusiastically.. thats when she told me that their computer was down and that they had been internet-less ... for a few days.. now these girls have mad skills...just not in the computer/internet field... when i suggested that lots of the "fellas" that visit are computer savvy..couldn't one of them help...she said Noooo .. i get the impression that they are pretty hesitant to ask the guys for ANYTHING...i suppose i can understand that.. when i suggested that i had friends that might be able to help ..well ...she wasn't big on the idea of strangers either. ....
Cant YOU fix it??? she was smiling and nodding enthusiastically again... its pretty darn hard to say no to her..cause she is always sooo nice ..smiling and nodding... now.. i am no computer guru, i can barely manage to post this blog! so i was getting a bit worried..right then the car pulled up to take me to the airport.. she looked a little disappointed...
i freaking hate to disappoint people..
it is a real weakness on my part..since i was really young.... luckily Ive learned to keep it in check..but damn that was a hard lesson!! .. and girl zero is different.. THEN i got an idea!! sooo i drug my suitcase to the curb (happy to note the driver was Alfonzo...one of the cool ones..i asked him to give me a few min to get girl zero squared away... he looked a bit confused .. i can only assume he knows of the girls next door...most drivers know allllll of the girls next door in the city...right?)... and while Alfonzo loaded my stuff into the car i grabbed my old laptop from the closet... i showed it to girl zero.. ok..here we go!
i have a wireless connection to the internet.... so i made the connection OPEN..and showed her how to log in.. the signal was a little on the weak side.. but steady.. then she gave me a pad of paper with the Ritz Carlton's logo on it ..go figure..and i wrote down each step for logging in....
She was delighted as were some of the other girls who had wandered into the "lobby area" (which is as far into the brothel as i have ever been).... there was a lot of smiling and enthusiastic head nodding and i found myself nodding and smiling along with them... then i wrote down the blog address and and asked them again to consider letting me put some of "their stories" up..
(the shit i do for you people!!lol)
Today i got an email from girl zero... seems a few of the girls are into the idea...but appears the older woman (the madame for lack of a better term)..is still a little unsure about blogging and its benefits.. but she is considering it... i imagine her stern faced as the girls surround her nodding enthusiastically about the crazy chick next door, suicide blond , and telling her that indeed
Glamour is a Rocky Road..
