Speaker 1: Appoche production, and then I kind of started hanging out
Speaker 1: with DJs and party organizers and all of that Inturia
Speaker 1: in Switzerland and organized some big parties myself, and that
Speaker 1: came in with drug dealers and I.
Speaker 2: Made friends with them.
Speaker 1: Plus I was really good at taking drugs. So one
Speaker 1: of my best friends in Switzerland, he worked for Big

Speaker 2: day and Google's.
Speaker 1: The core didn't know anything at this either, right obviously sorry,
Speaker 1: and there's you know who doesn't do a little bit
Speaker 1: of auty ship wow, and yeah, so that's kind of
Speaker 1: where it went. And then I loved your loved the
Speaker 1: party seen just I felt at home there. And then
Speaker 1: at I finished my apprenticeship in a hotel in Switzerland
Speaker 1: and I went, I'm out of here. See years later,
Speaker 1: I'm going to Australia. And so at twenty I think
Speaker 1: I was twenty two, packed my bags off, I went,
Speaker 1: you know, moved in with my my sister, and so
Speaker 1: I started hanging out with my sister and her friends.
Speaker 1: She was into bands in her and the girls were
Speaker 1: an all girl band called Nightacross back then, and so
Speaker 1: I'd hang out with those people, but I was kind of,
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 2: Not my jam, right, It's really not. It's not my jam.
Speaker 2: I love. He's all you're all a bit crazy musicians,

Speaker 1: private parties and Bucks parties and birthday parties and stuff.
Speaker 1: And I saw a stripper for the first time and
Speaker 1: it was she was fucking amazing. She had these legs
Speaker 1: up to here, and I've just gone, I want to
Speaker 1: do what you're doing.
Speaker 2: How do I do that?
Speaker 1: Right? Because I did costumes in everything and just the
Speaker 1: whole thing of show girls. So I went and made
Speaker 1: friends with her, and then from there it just rolled.
Speaker 1: I ended up touring for my first time, Tazzy, with
Speaker 1: Fever Productions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I stripped for ten years. All these phones, they're
Speaker 2: on my phone phone.
Speaker 1: Back then in the nineties, right, there were no fucking phones, right,
Speaker 1: I kind of towards the end, like I stopped stripping
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five.
Speaker 2: Around that, they're what the fuck you get this on
Speaker 2: the radar, haven't you? Jesus Christ? There's more to this.
Speaker 2: I thought, it looks like it'd be twos. There's a
Speaker 2: big story.
Speaker 1: So what I've put online and what I you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot more.
Speaker 2: It's not. It wasn't just oh God, I met some guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't wake up one day and I'm going
Speaker 1: to become a drug dealer, wanted.
Speaker 2: I don't think I can incriminate myself.
Speaker 1: I think twenty years ago, can I it's all allegedly,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and carry on tour.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I started on a touring with Fever Productions and
Speaker 1: Jan had been the stripping world for years, so she
Speaker 1: taught me how to dance. I could already dance. I
Speaker 1: don't dance all much. All yeah, pretty much, and certain things.
Speaker 1: And then I too with some of the best anyway,
Speaker 1: So I loved it. It was freedom. You know, I
Speaker 1: could go to work whenever I fucking wanted to. You know,
Speaker 1: the red carpet was rolled out for us everywhere, so
Speaker 1: we'd go out on Oxford Street and fucking India come girls.
Speaker 1: And I went out with the girls that all were like,
Speaker 1: look at me, look at me. I loved it because
Speaker 1: everyone gave them attention and I got to sit back.
Speaker 1: I got all the free drugs. Fucking great.
Speaker 2: So life was a bull. I don't remember much of it,
Speaker 2: but I do remember a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so with that territory obviously comes are you some
Speaker 1: of the best shows that I went to with bike shows.
Speaker 2: So with vikis and they're put on their bike shows.
Speaker 2: You were looked after like no.
Speaker 1: No one else in a lot of clubhouses, laundress, wagressing
Speaker 1: and then also stripping and very very respectful.
Speaker 2: I never had any problems.
Speaker 1: I know there was girls that did, but for me,
Speaker 1: And this is no disrespect to the people who've been
Speaker 1: done wrong by If you show up and you demand respects,
Speaker 1: you get respect. If you act like a fuck with, sorry,
Speaker 1: then you're going to be treated like a fuck with.
Speaker 1: Can't talk about how it is today, right, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the nineties. Vikis as they were do not exist anymore.
Speaker 1: That's quite simple.
Speaker 2: So this girl goes to me. Have you heard about
Speaker 2: the circuit in Darwin? Right? So in the NT and
Speaker 2: I went, no, what do you do? Because you got
Speaker 2: up there?
Speaker 1: You do six weeks, they put you up in a house,
Speaker 1: they drive you everywhere, everything great, you make ship loads
Speaker 1: of money.
Speaker 2: And I went somem, Yeah, I've got to Darwin. So
Speaker 2: off to Darwen.
Speaker 1: I went first round and absolutely fell in love with Darwen,
Speaker 1: just loved it. The club up there, that angels up
Speaker 1: there kind of became like family. And in the end
Speaker 1: I ended up moving up to Darlin in two thousand
Speaker 1: and something something. But then by then I was kind
Speaker 1: of like, I'm turning thirty soon and I need to
Speaker 1: stop stripping.
Speaker 2: Right, age made you stop? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was from watching other women stay too long, and
Speaker 1: I was just like, that's not going to be me,
Speaker 1: and there's no judgment.
Speaker 2: Each to their own. There were some amazing women out
Speaker 2: there that still yeah, something like that. Maybe not gravity.
Speaker 2: You can go and get a boob job.
Speaker 1: You know. That's one thing that I was played around
Speaker 1: with in my head, and I'm like, now I get
Speaker 1: boobs and then I'd have all this money for boobsjob
Speaker 1: and I'd go on holidays. Fuck it, Who needs to
Speaker 1: go have surgery when you don't need to have it,
Speaker 1: you know. So I finished up dancing and I was
Speaker 1: living in the ant so in northern Territory of Darwin anyway,
Speaker 1: so I had enough of that.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be I wanted to sell my unit.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get the fuck out of Darwin, and
Speaker 1: so I went, I'm going to become a flight attendant.
Speaker 1: I started off with Jetstar in Darwin, so we do
Speaker 1: domestic and international. It was their first they set up
Speaker 1: their base in Darwin and they were looking flight and
Speaker 1: so I did that and started off flying just as
Speaker 1: a cabin crew. Then became a cabin manager, and then
Speaker 1: two years into it, I moved to the Gold Coast
Speaker 1: as a cabin crew manager.
Speaker 2: And this is where things that's great.
Speaker 1: And I moved because my mom's my real mum's parents
Speaker 1: had moved to the Gold Coast after my mom had
Speaker 1: passed and bought a house up there, so my uncle
Speaker 1: my grand was still there.
Speaker 2: My papa died and my grandma was like, no, you're
Speaker 2: living with us.
Speaker 1: So I moved into the house on the canal, beautiful,
Speaker 1: great place could come and go as I please, do
Speaker 1: you know. It had some really quality time with my
Speaker 1: grandmother during that time. But I also found an old
Speaker 1: friend of mine and she was We used to dance
Speaker 1: together and we hadn't talked to each other for fucking years.
Speaker 2: She's like, just you know, I need to move in somewhere.
Speaker 1: So I moved in with her and next minute there's
Speaker 1: people there all the time, partying and getting on it,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to I was trying to kind of
Speaker 1: be really good and do this management position, and then
Speaker 1: I figured out it's my first management job, right, didn't
Speaker 1: really know what it was doing.
Speaker 2: It was kind of winging.
Speaker 1: It felt like an impostor as well to a certain degree,
Speaker 1: because here I am this trip of that came from
Speaker 1: fucking nothing, and I'm running two hundred and forty crew
Speaker 1: and telling them how to dress and get on time
Speaker 1: and I can't even fucking be on time. So and
Speaker 1: my manager, he was in Brisbane and there just was
Speaker 1: no support. And so rather than any other normal person
Speaker 1: would have gone, well, hello, I need support, I just
Speaker 1: went all, well, fuck you, I'm.
Speaker 2: Just going to take the piece. It's I went and
Speaker 2: got on it again. It's just there, you know.
Speaker 1: That was my Yeah, yeah, I have a good time, right, okay,
Speaker 1: so what anybody else is doing? And so I went
Speaker 1: and got on it again, and I basically for I
Speaker 1: don't know, about a year and a half, it was
Speaker 1: just flying whilst flying right off yeah yeah yeah. And
Speaker 1: towards the end thoon, things started to decline, like it
Speaker 1: became apparent that I didn't just have you know, mental
Speaker 1: health issues, I had a drug fucking problem. And then
Speaker 1: you went to exit, so I walked while and when
Speaker 1: they did, I just passed the window.
Speaker 2: Yeah wow yeah, watching you and the teas and the
Speaker 2: drinks on the went down the aisle. Jesus hell.
Speaker 1: I just I still to this day, and you know,
Speaker 1: I probably put my foot in it right now, but
Speaker 1: surely most people that worked with me were like, we
Speaker 1: would probably just go yeah, we knew that it was clear.
Speaker 1: Like my my announcements, no one could understand them.
Speaker 2: Went looking at you in a weird wad like the
Speaker 2: girls who were with you, like, I don't care. I
Speaker 2: didn't care, right, care is about them? I never really cared.
Speaker 1: I've never do, you know, I know, I've never really
Speaker 1: cared what people think about me.
Speaker 2: Some of my business. Fuck, that's their problem, not we
Speaker 2: have a few faced. When you were doing this the Belts,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: Doing the announcements morning ladies, and this is what it
Speaker 1: would sound like, morning lady. No, no, no, it's a
Speaker 1: flight number. No one could and that's when the complaints started.
Speaker 1: When I was doing that, and sometimes I just locked
Speaker 1: myself in the toilet.
Speaker 2: I'm not coming out. It's what happen after that, when
Speaker 2: you gave up that.
Speaker 1: So I then decided that it was time to go
Speaker 1: back to Switzerland.
Speaker 2: Always off to Switzerland. Yeah, this time not just Switzerland.
Speaker 1: So I sold my unit and I needed to cut
Speaker 1: tires other friend of mine, and there was some other
Speaker 1: stuff going on there. There was a bit of a revenge
Speaker 1: going on there with my ex endow it. So it's
Speaker 1: like I'm going to sell the unit and he was
Speaker 1: putting his hand out and I was just like, it's
Speaker 1: not happman.
Speaker 2: So I just fucked off. I just disappeared.
Speaker 1: But before that I made a good mess of a
Speaker 1: couple of friendships and lost you know, some people in
Speaker 1: my life, which you do when you're in that it
Speaker 1: was self destructive mode. I didn't really care, you know,
Speaker 1: I was flying other stuff around Australia and allegedly.
Speaker 2: And that's what you know.
Speaker 1: There was all these rumors that are in my friend's circle,
Speaker 1: like the whole time she was at jetsas she was,
Speaker 1: you know, doing this for this and this, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you can talk whatever you want.
Speaker 2: It's all just bullshit, you know.
Speaker 1: Some of it was because the story wasn't completely true.
Speaker 2: Right, They had some room. They got it a bit wrong, right.
Speaker 2: It wasn't for anybody else. I just
Speaker 1: Yahm
