I'm bartending at Puget Sound Pizza on Thursday nights, and this is Jim, my bossman and homie. :)

About Me

Allright, enough is enough. Let me be abundantly clear: I DO NOT accept friend requests or event invites from strangers -- bands seeking exposure, lonely men from any country including the U.S., or disgusting broads who need to clothe themselves. If I don't know you, please leave me alone. Thank you.
Howdy. I'm an energetic, outgoing, ambitious hellava woman. A little bit country and a little bit rock n roll.
I flirt with everything that life has to offer. Sassy: Most of my outfits have a title. Intellectual: Sixth grade spelling bee champion. Multidimensional: I drink beer and watch sports.
My hobbies include, but certainly aren't limited to: avid skiing, rollerblading, softball, yoga and hanging out with the world's greatest friends.
Music is everything to me. I sing in the shower. I work on the house that I bought. I'm in love with my shoes.
I do PR for the City of Tacoma's Community and Economic Development Department.
I'm also a fitness instructor at the YMCHeeey where I teach step aerobics and strength training. Drop and give me 20.
I was recently elected as a board member for the Eastside Neighborhood Council where I'll be working to improve and beautify our community over the two-year term.
But wait, there's more: I'm a columnist for the Weekly Volcano, the South Sound's fine entertainment rag, focusing on eats, beats and cultural treats. Check out my column, "Scene of the Crime by Natasha," where I'll give you the low down hoe down on the South Sound nightlife. Go to www.weeklyvolcanospew.com or read my blogs - I usually post my articles here on mySpace before they're published in the paper.
OK....one more thing....I'm also a Dockyard Derby Dame, a member of Tacoma's very own all-girl, flat-track roller derby league. We're all about boutin', brawlin' and kickin' ass. Would you expect anything less outta me?
If you haven't guessed by now, I'm every woman, a fully-fledged socialite and the social ambassador of the Puget Sound region.
Ya heard?!

My new little homeboy

The last time my beloved Best Friend Ashley and her brown-eyed hubby Josh visited me here in T-Town, she pulled me aside before we walked into Matador and said some really important words: "...

Bring the noise - NOW!

The Loft -- Umch, umch

I've been working the dance floor at the Loft forever.  I mean it, FOR-EVER.   Before I ever lived in Tacoma, I used to come down from the 206 right after the club first opened in 2000 beca...

Saddle up at the bar

If I've learned one thing in life, it's that there's nothing better than sitting at the bar  in diners, restaurants, clubs or dives.   My beautiful mother was a runway model, and as she was jus...

The Vault -- Get down on it

I hate to be clichĂ©, but just like everyone else in the world, one of my new year's resolutions is to trim up.   Since I get paid to party (best job EVER), I can't exactly cut the calories by dr...
