Ingo Oschmann watched Siegfried & Roy and Michael Wurst watched Crazy Girls. Wurst serenaded Crazy Girls during a dressing room visit after the show and the girls responded by giving Wurst an autographed calendar. Oschmann and Wurst's visit began at Shepler's Western Wear, where they bonned cowboy duds for a desert horseback ride. They also enjoyed stopped at the Harley-Davidson Cafe, the Elvis-A-Fama Museum (where Wurst sang for the audience) and The Mirage's Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy. They returned to Germany on October 1, 2003, and had to take the footage back where it was edited and telecast on October 4, 2003.

The transplant from Michigan doesn't miss the cold of the Great Lakes but doesn't enjoy the heat of Las Vegas summers either. Lux has been in Crazy Girls for almost two years.

"I've been back to Michigan. I don't miss the cold at all. I'm from the Detroit area. My whole family has come to visit and see me in the show. They all love it and are happy for me. I bought a new house with a swimming pool in the Northwest part of town. I definitely wouldn't have been able to own a nice house in Michigan. My boyfriend is a financial advisor with Mrogan-Stanley. We love to go hiking at Mt. Charleston. I'm an outdoors child. I go to San Diego a lot and hopefully I will move there one day." I just adopted a new dog. He's an Akita and St. Bernard mix named Chinook. He's 8 years old. I found him at Heaven Can Wait. It's an animal shelter for older dogs. I have the best job in show business with only one show a night. We are able to put our all into Crazy Girls and come to work smiling each night. Our producer gives us a chance to get ahead in life and I work at a famous day spa as a receptionist. It's the largest in Las Vegas. I'm a licensed aesthetician and waiting for an opening to occur. I'm there full-time so there's not much time left to play. I hate the heat in Las Vegas but I like the weather. It's a love/hate relationship between mysenf and living with Las Vegas." - Lux Lafave

In March, 2002, Crazy Girls went to see La Femme and invited them to see their show and they did with 14 of the most beautiful showgirls in Vegas posing on one stage in the Crazy Girls showroom.

In June of 2002, Joe Trammel started his own website Gotlaughter.com.

"I'm going to go around Las Vegas doing pranks while people watch it on my website. I'll be messing around the Strip and you can watch it in streaming video. My dream is to go on Saturday Night Live. It will draw people to the free site. - Joe Trammel

Trammel also reported that he has new characters for his part of Crazy Girls.

"My new characters include Spider Man and with the hit movie out it will be great. I can do a spider walk on stage and actually climb up the poles. I'll be doing some Star Wars stuff and Sopranos. It will be a major update. I'm going to do Ricky Ricardo, Mike Tyson, Rocky and Jackie Chan. The stuff that I do now is very retro but I want to keep it ertro but current too. Every old bit that I do will have an equally new bit to go with it. I'm really looking forward to the whole new act and hope it brings fans back." - Joe Trammel

In July of 2002, Crazy Girls and Burt Reynolds hit the town while he was visiting Las Vegas and went nightclubbing and to the top restaurants.

Pictured with Burt Reynolds is Rayma, Ruthie, Erica and Karen.

"The Crazy Girls acted as Burt's bodyguards. We went to see his show and got him out of there so he could go out to dinner with us. We went to dinner at Drai's and to Light for some dancing. We got so much attention. Everybody loved him. He's so popular that he's a legend. His show was great. He told stories about his life and kept people entertained. It was fun. At dinner he told us all kinds of funny things that he couldn't say on stage. We went to The Ghostbar." - Karen Raider, Crazy Girls Manager

Crazy Girls also added a new eight-minute documentary of the Crazy Girls before each show that covers the past 10 years of the famous showgirl on TV. The documentary airs prior to each show on the two large video screens in the Crazy Girls Showroom. You will see clips from FoxSports, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, "E!" A&E;, Discovery Health, Playboy Channel, VH-1, Travel Channel and MTV. The news is out on an international scale. One tourist once confided, "In China we don't have these shows so I just had to see Crazy Girls." Despite a senator and the City Fathers controversial attack on what is considered "Las Vegas' Sexiest Topless Revue" the Crazy Girls have weathered the storm and will celebrate their 15th anniversary in September.

In October of 2002, Ruthie Gastineau made her TV debut on Livin' Large and The Fifth Wheel.

"On Fifth Wheel I just had to hold my ground when the girlfriends talked bad about me. It would have worried me if they didn't. That would have meant they were insecure. As far as Living' Large, I had a great time on The Big Shot at the Stratosphere and the roller coaster. I also did the Flyaway and bungee jumped at AJ Hackett's.

Also in October of 2002, Kelly Adkins' dog and Jennifer Alimo's cat starred in Pet Psychic on Animal Planet with Sonya. The show aired on the Animal Channel the first week of January, 2003.

"Sonya who is very patient had said things that she couldn't have known and even spoke of my childhood dog that passed away. My big bloodhound mix, Flash Doggie Dog, was licking her face." - Kelly Adkins

"He doesn't realize that he's so big. He squealed that the other dogs dump the trash and steal food to get him into trouble." - Sonya
Regarding Cosmo the cat:

"It was static electricity that was bothering him and not allergies. Cosmo would also like better food and that Jennifer practices her routines around the house and cusses." - Sonya

In January 2001, Watson's book was released.

In February, 2001, Crazy Girl Kelly Adkins was chosen to perform a speaking role in the upcoming movie "Oceans 11" to be filmed in Las Vegas starring Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon.

"I begin filming in April. It's a remake of a movie with Frank Sinatra filmed in the '60s before I was born. I perform as a dancer. Brad Pitt plays a technician. I think it was just pure luck. One of the agencies in Las Vegas called me up and the next thing I knew I was doing the readings and before I could realize what was happening they told me I had the part. I will be speaking six or seven lines.

I'm not an actor. I don't read and they said just come anyway it's easy. I was called by several different agencies. I don't know how many others were competing for the part. Ray Favero was the casting director. They put me on camera and called about a month later and asked me if I would mind working with Brad Pitt.

I received my lines in the mail and they've got all of my sizes. I've given them every measurement in the book and my name will be in the credits. The scene that I will be in is going to be filed at the Olympic Garden. I do skits in the dressing room all the time. I never even considered becoming an actress. My parents are my biggest fans and they are really excited and think I'm a big superstar."

In June of 2001, South Korea MBC recently featured Crazy Girls in a television special. The network will broadcast the TV special highlighting entertainment and government officals in response to the skyrocketing jump in South Koreans visiting Las Vegas. South Korea visitors led every other nation in the world last year with a 34.2% increase.

They were dumbfounded when they viewed the Crazy Girls bronze statue. Rubbing the derrieres of the bronze statue brings good luck to gamblers like rubbing the stomach of the "Fat" Buddha in Japan. The shiniest part of the statue is the derriere so there must be some truth to that fact.

In July of 2001, Carole Montgomery roasted a couple of newlyweds for a new series called Two for Las Vegas that will air on The Travel Channel beginning in November, 2001.

The good natured couple from Rhode Island were renewing their wedding vows after 25 years of marriage. The couple had a theme wedding with the Grim Reaper and Dracula characters making an unusual vision that was so outrageous it could only happen Las Vegas without shocking friends and family. Statistics claim that only one out of 20 couples are sincerely happy and that's how they will appear when the show airs.

Montgomery found out every last detail of their life together for the past quarter of a century.

Crazy Girls Ellissett Lobato and Andrea Guevara who are both single were also interviewed on their viewpoints about marriage and relationships.

The 50-part half hour series will feature 80 couples that have gotten married in what some call The Shotgun Wedding Capital of the World. The show will feature love, romance and the sanctity of marriage.

In July of 2001, Travel Channel under the name of RC Entertainment interviewed Crazy Girls for "Showtime Vegas" The one-hour special will air 10:00pm on August 14, 2001.

In August, 2001, Crazy Girls appeared on a new game show called Street Smarts which is a street version of the old game show Truth Or Consequences. It's affiliated with the couples game show Change of Heart.

On August 19, 2001, Tammy Rankin appeared on A&E; Biography which was titled After Dark. It was an in-depth look at the life of a Vegas showgirl and Rankin in particular.

In October 2001, Joe Trammel aka "The Man of a Thousand Faces" had the dubious distinction of being the first man to ever perform in Crazy Girls as its 14 anniversary hit at the Riviera.

The Phoenix native is from a show business family. His mother, Glenda Trammel, was a dancer in the Folies Bergere and entertained in a show in Hawaii. She was in an act with Wayne Newton. She also performed as a dancer in the movie Bus Stop. Glenda ran a dance school in Phoenix, AZ.

"You might call me a Crazy Man after you see my act. I left a smaller show off The Strip to come to the big-time meaning three times the showroom, three times the publicity and three times the showgirls."

If you like high-energy showmanship and have a passion for the media and celebs of today and yesteryear than I'm here to entertain you. It's really a fun gig for me. I just opened Wednesday, October 3rd. If you've seen the show before please return because it's a whole different game now and the Crazy Girls are sexier than ever and I provide the comedy. The bad news is they gave me a private dressing room.

I was weaned on dancing. She danced up until she was six months pregnant while she was carrying me. My older sister retired from dancing to have a baby and get married. She did the movie about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' for TV. She was from the disco era and was a spotlight dancer on Dick Clark's American Bandstand.

Non-English speaking audiences love my act because it's an international act based on pop culture. These movies are all over the world. It's visually funny. I did a show in Bogota and they come to see me in Las Vegas say they remember me. My dream is to be on The Tonight Show.

What I do is visual physical comedy and Jerry Lewis was one of the first entertainers to start it. He would spoof popular songs of that era and culture. I do that now in a more modern way. I come from the same school as Andy Kaufman. I like to try something different. Jim Carey is another one who does my kind of thing on a grand scale. Every producer that I've worked for has given me really good input. I've improved much over the years. I always hear that it's the most high energy act that people have ever seen.

I moved to Las Vegas in 1994 after working in Reno for a couple of years working in Splash. They moved me to Las Vegas Splash." - Joe Trammel

In October, 2001, Ellisett Lobato and Tammy Rankin appeared on Street Smarts at FOX affiliate Channel 5.

In November 2001, photojournalist Carol Highsmith, who has produced 32 hardback coffee table books for Random House, is working on another book called Las Vegas and chose Crazy Girls to represent the Entertainment Capital by posing them in front of the Strip's Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.

The Crazy Girls modeled their white minks next to the sign after working a long stint for USO show selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the U.S. military forces. They are in complete support of the allied forces to end terrorism and have also volunteered for the Las Vegas Review-Journal's effort to help the American Red Cross. The girls are avid patriots at heart and want a quick end to bring the conspirators of the Sept. 11 attack.

"Nowhere in history have women been so oppressed and we are doing all we can to help them. A worman in Afghanistan has a lifespan of only 43 years old and is virtually a slave." - Crazy Girls

Also during this month, Tammie Rankin was featured on Biography where she literally received her 15 minutes of fame going through her childhood photos and articles about the trials and tribulations of being a beauty pageant contestant and interviews with her friends and family.

The TV show Blind Date went to Vegas and setup Tammie, Heidi and Anita. The girls snagged three out of five of the dates.

In the fall of 2000, Crazy Girls posed for the men's fashion section of Penthouse Magazine.

In September, 2000, Crazy Girls were photographed by Albert Watson for his upcoming book Las Vegas. Watson has photographed the likes of President Bill Clinton, Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger, Sharon Stone, Cameron Diaz, Diana Ross, Alfred Hitchcock, Drew Barrymore, Nicolas Cage, Rikki Lake, Traci Lords, Mariah Carey, Kim Bassinger, Vanessa Williams, Winona Ryder, Aerosmith, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Watson was born in Edinburgh and graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. He has a master's degree in film and television, and holds an honorary Ph.D from Dundee University. Watson won a Grammy Award for the best Album Cover in 1975, an ANDY award in 1983 for Best Advertising Photography, and second place for the Key Arts Award for Director in Action/Adventure. Watson was also the official photograph for the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and the official photographer for His Majesty Mohammed VI of Morocco.

Watson virtually turned the Riviera showroom into a photography studio and had to rent a 12 foot high truck to bring all the equipment.

In November of 2000, the Presidential race took a turn with Florida being the center of attention. This "first" was discussed with the Crazy Girls who gave the following:

Chris Gilbride - "I'm surprised at the way the government is being run. It's in chaos. I think they will give it to Bush."
Rayma Alfred - "Well, I voted early and was really surprised at the outcome. It's going to be interesting if they have to go to the courts to find out who is the winner."
Andrea Guevara - "I don't know much about politics. It doesn't really surprise me because in American anything can happen. It's good that nothing chaotic happened. In the end something conservative will happen. I didn't vote because I didn't like any of the candidates. I should have exercised my freedom to vote. I did hear Gore on The Queen Latiffa talk show and he prefers lace to leather. I liked that."
Tammie Rankin - "I think it was interesting. Most people thought Gore was going to win. I want Gore. It's going to be interesting when all the recounts are finished.
Marla Gomes - "Nade should have dropped out so Gore could have definitely won. You have to recount the votes because it is so close."
Heidi Deering - "I'm voting for women's rights and that's for Gore.
Eva Latourneau of Spain - "I'm not too political. It seems like the population of the United States is split between the two. They should come into agreement. The winner will have to do a good job."
Karen Raider - "We're going to keep on recounting and recounting until we come up with the outcome that the Democrats want. I'm for Bush."

As of September, 2001, Crazy Girls consisted of Karen Raider, Anita, Kelly Adkins, Rayma Alfred, Andrea Guevara, Marla Gomes, Ellisett Lobato, Eva LeTourneau, Tammie Rankin, and Heidi Keller.

Andrea Guevara, a Houston native, has resumed her education in journalism as a coed at UNLV while continuing to dance in "Crazy Girls." She began taking dance lessons at age 3 and had to quit because of the costs but resumed at 10 years old. She went on to become one of the featured performers in "Crazy Girls" at the Riviera. She was featured on Phil Keoghan's `Adventure Crazy' during the summer and fall that aired on The Travel Channel and will air on Discovery International. She has also interned in the news departments of KVBC TV and radio.

"I come from a musical family. I play the violin. My brother plays the clarinet while my father plays the piano. My cousin plays the guitar and keyboards. Before `Crazy Girls,' I performed at Astro World and in the musical `A Chorus Line.' My childhood was really pleasant. It was just my sister, brother and Mommy. She raised us three with intelligence and we all became a success. I'm 26 years old now and have been in the show for two years. The biggest influence was actually my passion to dance and perform along with my mother's support and faith in her daughter. I will always think of Texas as my home even when I'm living in Las Vegas. I have terrific memories from there. I feel that someday I will move back and retire there. As of now, Las Vegas is my home.
I attended and graduated from the Charles Milby High School in Houston. I attended the University of Houston downtown campus for two years. I went to the Houston Community College and the Community College of Southern Nevada for 18 months. I also attended Las Vegas Dance Theatre, West Side Dance Studio, and Backstage Dance Studio. My goal is to get my masters degree.
I'm single and happy. I was in 'The Strip,' on 'Backstage Live!', and 'E! News.' My favorite fashion designers are Calvin Klein and Betsy Johnson.
My favorite entertainer is Madonna. She is very ambitious and is evolving with the times. Her singing, acting, performing, ambitions and passion give me strength and inspiration.
I got a postcard with my picture cut out of a newspaper and glued to and it said, 'Hollywood is just around the corner.'
I've rubbed elbows with elbows with athletes and stars, but have never dated any of them.
Everyone is here for a special reason whether it be to learn, teach, or inspire, but life should be about learning, loving and sharing. Life is about taking steps."

In January, 2000, Andrea Guevara of the Crazy Girls show was an extra in the Sylvester Stallone movie Get Carter which was being filmed in Las Vegas.

"I didn't have any speaking parts but was an extra from 5:30am 'til 6pm and I had two shows to do that night. During the break Sylvester was very, very nice and cordial. He has a funny sense of humor. He is really good looking. He has an aura of sex appeal, but doesn't push it on anybody. It's just natural. He gave us acting tips and I was surprised. He makes you feel real comfortable and doesn't act like a big star. I invited him to see Crazy Girls, but I think he is so busy that he won't make. He did ask about the show and we told him all about Crazy Girls." - Andrea Guevara

In March of 2001, Guevara stated that she created her own style of designer jeans and was hoping that some company will help launch her plans but meanwhile her self-improvement plans include yoga.

"The most dramatic thing to change my life is that I began learning yoga. It takes time to get into that space with your soul. It's a state of mind where you join forces with your soul. It's a great form of meditation through spiritualization. Yoga is more popular on the West Coast and it's growing around the world. Madonna's preoccupation with yoga has boosted its popularity in the Western World. the relaxation that comes with it has caught on with anti-aging groups. Many people have said they get a greater peace of mind by practicing yoga.

I have a phenomenal idea and have made the first pair of women's jeans with the help of a seamstress. I like to create and be innovative. I need a sponsor now to help back my idea. It if happens, I will launch other lines of clothing. But if it doesn't, I'll except that it was meant to be. It's hush-hush until I have an agreement. The big companies are talking to me but maybe not as seriously as they should be taking my designer jeans. I'm heading to St. Thomas for a week so I can reflect on my business and web site plans."

In August, 2000, Rayma Alfred is now dancing topless for the first time ever in Crazy Girls. Alfred was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana (200 miles west of New Orleans.)

"I'm the oldest and the only one of four children who is in show business. I have one brother and two sisters. I started dancing professionally about five years ago. I danced in a show called Island Fever on a riverboat. I began dance training when I was very young. The riverboat is on Lake Charles and goes out about every two hours and comes back. I was a cheerleader in middle school and was on various dance teams. At Southern University I was a Dancing Doll. I auditioned to be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader and got cut in the finals. My dad wanted me to be an electrical engineer, but it wasn't for me. I graduated from La Grange High School.

Another new Crazy Girl brought me here and I was hired. It was my lucky day. I came into Crazy Girls from another Las Vegas show. This job is perfect for me because I was accepted to UNLV nursing school and will start in the fall. I want to be an LPN and work in the trauma unit at UMC. Nursing school is really excited for me. I have a lot patience so I will like nursing.

I've I got a positive reaction from everybody, but my mom, when I announced I was joining Crazy Girls. It took me about a month to train, because I went home to Lake Charles for two weeks. The company manager Karen Raider, and line captain Kim Barranco, both worked with me to get ready for performing in Crazy Girls.

My heart is still in the Bayou but I'm having a great time in Las Vegas working Crazy Girls. I moved here in 1997. I miss my immediate family. There is about five of us. I miss the Cajun food too. I'm a Southern Belle so I'd like to move back to the South someday."

"My entire family lives in Spain. It's a very long trip. My mother is coming to see me in Crazy Girls. It's a very sexy and sensual show. My parents are used to seeing me do point in ballet. Crazy Girls is a great show to show off your femininity.

I began dance lessons at age 6 and took ballet, Flamenco and tap classes for many years. My first professional show was at age 17 and it was called Harlem. I came to America after joining the show Splash in Japan and then we moved here. I've traveled a lot as a dancer, but never would work on cruise ships. Brazil was one of the most wonderful places I've been. The people have a great spirit. They dance, even though they don't have shoes to wear. I was in Sao Paulo where they have the best of the best and the worst of the worst. I choreographed a stage show for Valentino of The Masked Magician show fame. They were very curious about how the magic tricks were done. He just finished his tour there and he is going good. It's an awesome place.

I have a Chihuahua named Kiwi and two cats. These are my babies. I love to read books about personalities, soul and the spirit. I love spiritual books about how to love everybody."

"I was born in Buenos Aires and moved to Chile when I was 9 and then at 11 years old, my family moved to Miami. After 2-1/2 years we moved to Vegas. My parents are both supporters of mine because my mother was a dancer and my father is on the production side of show business. My father choreographs and directs shows. My Mother was a professional dancer making me a second-generation dancer. Now she is a seamstress in Las Vegas. I grew up with around show business watching her from backstage. I became a professional dancer at age 18 and I'm 27. I've performed in Les Vilins at the Hilton in Miami and another show. I worked in Puerto Rico riding an elephant in a circus. It's the Tihany Circus. I've also worked with a magician and have performed in a trapeze act. I was fearless at age 18 and now I think about riding an elephant and think that I must have been crazy then and now I'm in Crazy Girls.

Unlike most moms mine is proud that I'm performing in Crazy Girls and wishes she was young enough to be dancing in it with me. This is my first topless show and I don't mind. I'm very happy with the show. The audiences love it. I love to sing professionally too. I have sung in a Latin orchestra in Miami. I like blues but I haven't done that. I began singing about four years ago. My singing happened by accident. I was standing around waiting to go on and began singing the tunes in the show and the producer heard me and said you're pretty good. One of the singers left so I took her place. I began taking voice classes and that's how it all began. I know it's a very competitive field. My favorite singers are Sarah McLaughlan and Sting.

I like to draw and my father is an artist. I hang out with my family and try to learn from my father when it comes to art. We take time to draw together. I train in ballet continually. Crazy Girls has great choreography. I danced with my mom at one time in South American and Miami." - Ellisett Lobato

Anita of Poland recently immigrated to the United States to work in Crazy Girls.

"I'm not the only dancer-performer to come from Europe in Crazy Girls. We are probably more diverse then the competitors in Las Vegas. I love it here and the girls are all so friendly backstage. I had a lot of dance lessons as a child growing up in Poland and now I'm glad I can put them to good use at the Riviera." - Anita

Kelly Adkins is from Orlando and does a sensational job in The Ring, a very classy, sexy and moving number that was added in the past six months.

Brianna is one of three new Crazy Girls who came onboard in the past few months.

"I was born in Las Vegas was taken to Mexico when I was two weeks old. My family moved around quite a bit because my father, Nick Navarro, is a show producer. My father is from Mexico. We lived in Miami and different places when I was younger. My dad does a lot of Latin shows. I began dancing at 17 and now I'm 19. It's never too late if you have dreams and passions. I have that natural hip-hop dance ability but this takes training and I'm taking some classes.

My first show was at The Orleans. It was a Latin rhythm show. I did Jubilation in Reno and Showgirls of Magic and some other little gigs. I'm going to school to become a creative writer at the Community College of Southern Nevada. Living in Las Vegas is cool. I like everything about it. I like all of the numbers in Crazy Girls. If something goes wrong I just laugh it off. It's a beautiful bunch of people to work within in Crazy Girls. I love to dance.

I've seen my family grow up working in show business. I have a lot of dreams. My dad inspired the Latin in me. I have lots of animals. I have a cat, frogs, a Chow dog, lizards and an African python snake. I raised the snake since she was born and she is now four feet. I would live in a jungle if I could. I like basketball and my half-sister, Nicole Navarro, used to dance in Crazy Girls and now she dances in Splash. My other sister, Ophelia, dances at the Tropicana's Folies Bergere. My brother is dancing in Japan right now. I have another brother and two more sisters. My family influenced me in being very free-spirited. They wanted me to be free and express myself. My mom and sister are so proud of me. They love that I'm in Crazy Girls.

[Why is Crazy Girls the longest running T&A; revue in Las Vegas?] It's very professional and they keep it like that. Everything is in check. [What would you advise someone entering show business?] Watch your back, no just kidding. If there is one thing you need to know is to have fun and express yourself and love everyone. Take the experience and learn from it. I'm getting ready to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Crazy Girls in September. It's amazing that the show spawned five more imitations over the past year or two and that it has made worldwide press. Las Vegas has returned to being an adult town is what the media is telling the world while in reality it's a town for everyone. I'm the youngest member of Crazy Girls and love it.

I have a different adventure every day that I create for myself. If I want to be lazy and have potato chips and a soda I just do it. The first time I was on stage, it was unbelievable, like I was in another world. It was like the Never Ending Story movie."

Lindsay Mannooch comes all the way from Detroit to join Crazy Girls.

"I've been going to school full-time to become an aesthetician. I'm attending Rollers Beauty by day and performing inn Crazy Girls by night.

I was three years old when my parents enrolled me in dance school, so I began learning to dance as young as one possibly could. I was very young when I entered dance and danced my whole life up until I was age 17.

At age 15, I went to a special performing arts school in Lynchburg, Virginia. It's called the Virginia School of Arts. I came home and danced for another two years before injuring my back. At 19 years old, I was in a boating accident. The driver was driving erratically and I bounced out of my seat and ruptured my disc. Since then I haven't been dancing like I used too but now I am back in fine form.

I just started dancing again at age 23 and things are going wonderful in Crazy Girls. I love Las Vegas. It's wonderful and the weather is beautiful. I'll be here for quite a while. My best friend moved here to Las Vegas. We both wanted to move to California originally, but her sister ending up moving here, so I came along. I go to school with Crazy Girl Tammie Rankin and she tipped me off about the audition. It takes four months to get an aesthetician licence if you go full time.

Las Vegas has been luck for me. I began dancing in Crazy Girls January 23, 2002. It's my first topless show. I'm single and have a yellow Labrador retriever who is two years old and 80 pounds. He is a wonderful pet for me. There's always something to do in Las Vegas, whereas things in Michigan go very slow. I like Las Vegas because it's completely different then any place I've ever lived. My only dislike is the traffic. It's horrible trying to navigate through town. So far, I'm very happy here. None of my parents or brothers and sisters are in show business. I'm looking forward to a long run of performing in Crazy Girls."

Jennifer Marie Alaimo joins Crazy Girls from the school that was featured in the movie Fame. The green-eyed brunette is a Brooklyn native who loves to perform and is doing her first topless show at 5'5" and 120 pounds.

"I trained at the wonderful schools in New York. I went to the Fame school called the New York City High School of Performing Arts. I started dancing when I was age 2. It was heel-toe and away we go classes for tiny tots. My father was an aspiring musician and my mother was a fashion designer. They wanted me to pursue my dreams. My brother is a chef at Le Cirque. My parents moved to Freehold, New Jersey after I moved to Las Vegas and then my brother followed me. I've been here since September of 1999 to dance in Laughlin and then after the six-month contract was up I moved to Las Vegas. The shot of getting on at a Broadway show is slim to none. I wanted to be a ballerina and took so much ballet and then in high school I realized ti wasn't going to happen, so I started taking tap, jazz and modern dance."

Ever since I was a little girl I watched I Love Lucy and that show made me want to work at the Tropicana. Crazy Girls' line was very tall but became shorter so they called me. This was my first topless show but I was so nervous about the new steps that it didn't even faze me. Not wearing tights was more new to me. My friends are happy for me because I overcome the height restriction. I have two cats and am pretty much a homebody. I've worked as a line captain before and in many, many shows.

Crazy Girls' audiences are ready to have a good time and looking for a party. I'm in the new commercial for Nevada Federal Credit Union. It was my first commercial and people are telling me it is airing but I haven't seen it yet."

"Crazy Girls is my first topless show. I began on June 1st [2002], after moving to Henderson and rooming with a friend who dances, Laura Rodriquez. It's a lot like Scottsdale, but only with a breeze here. I have 11 brothers and sisters and 10 are adopted. My mother is happy for my success. She has a Master's Degree in psychology and is a professor at Western International University in Phoenix. She teaches classes on child psychology, human development and human relations. My mom is an extremely hard worker. She also teaches at various community colleges. My father died in 1998.

There were 12 kids in our family. It was fantastic. I got to experience different types of people. Edith, Annie and Charles were adopted at an early age from Pakistan. My brother Brian is African-American. I love kids. I have nieces and nephews from them now. I remember constant remodeling to make the house bigger. People were always coming and going. I don't know how she did it all. I'm one of the youngest at age 21. I have a younger brother who is 20 and my older brothers is 34 years old. My real brother George is 10 years older than me and we were roommates before I left Phoenix. My sister Alfie who is emotionally and physically handicapped is Native American and from the Grand Canyon.

I started my official dance training at age 13 as a freshman after doing gymnastics and cheerleading as a child and then hip hop and street dancing. I took a field trip with my high school and was one of the few Caucasian girls in the group at South Mountain High School before joining New School for the Arts. I got a lot of opportunities including performing in Sydney. I went for my Bachelor of Fines Arts Degree in Dance. I returned to Phoenix and joined the Scorpius Dance Theater. I love to perform so I did modern jazz, ballet and improve there. Working in Vegas was my dream so I came to Crazy Girls.

Crazy Girls is cute and wonderful and the girls are great but I want to try other shows some day and going back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. I'd like to major in business or marketing at UNLV. I see a bright future ahead and may attend UNLV for my educational needs.

My hobbies are dance and exercise. I've taught dance and gymnastics at Magicland Gym in Scottsdale, Arizona. I was a fitness and aerobics instructor at State University of New York. I was even a waitress at Hooters in Phoenix. I was a hair and fashion model for Rusk, Matrix and Aveda in Phoenix and New York. I danced in the Aqua Bar at White Plains, New York and Club Ext in D.C. I sleep and swim by day to get ready for the night life. I like to go out when the shows are over. I've met some really great people and don't have to pay a cover charge at the nightclubs. There's a great nightlife in Las Vegas. I make more money and have more fun in Vegas than I did in Phoenix.

Vegas born Melamia DeLos Santos said the MGM Grand Hotel fire changed her life forcing her showbiz parents to move to Reno and now she's back.

"I was about six years old when the tragic MGM Fire closed that hotel in 1980. My father was in the Argentine Gaucho act back in the '70s and '80s. His name is Washington DeLosSantos. He was transferred to the MGM in Reno to work in Hello Hollywood Hello. I graduated from high school and wasn't ready for college. My mother was a showgirl. I went to Japan at age 19 to perform in a show called Las Vegas Showbiz. It was about five hours south Tokyo and the people were very nice. Actually it was a small rice field town and the men would come and bring their hostesses. My father advised me to go to Japan to get some experience performing onstage. I performed for six months before returning to the United States. I bounced around from show to show. I've always been dancing either in Lake Tahoe or Las Vegas. My parents met in Frederic Apcar's Viva Les Girls at the Dunes Hotels in the '70s. My brother is age 25 and still living in Reno working for UPS. My mom and dad both live in Las Vegas now but are divorced. They still remain friends though. My sister is 23 and is going to college to become a forensic scientist. She graduates from UNLV this May. I think Crazy Girls is great and it's so much fun. I've been with many, many shows. All the producers say we're like family but with this show the producer really appreciates the girls and takes care of us. It's really like family in Crazy Girls as long as we show respect and do our jobs. Backstage it's fun and I really enjoy coming to work. It's a very mellow atmosphere backstage. This was a good choice for me. All the girls are very nice.

I lived in a custom home that my father built on an acre. I took it over and my mom moved in with me. I have three Maltese dogs named Winny, Diego and Sophie. I call them my babies. They were on the cover of Vegas Dog Magazine. I call them Traitors because now that my mom is living with me she spends 24/7 with them and they don't pay much attention to me. I'm in a transitional part of my life trying to figure out what I'm doing besides dancing. I'm thinking about going to aesthetician school so I can work when I'm old and decrepit. I'll be able to work in a nice spa. But I'm sticking with Crazy Girls for now. All the girls are beautiful and it's a great classy, sexy show. I love the theme Girls, Girls, Crazy Girls."

Santos' favorite book is Book of Love, favorite game is Naked Twister, favorite magazine is Bride, favorite color red, favorite movie Great Expectations, and favorite number 2.

Raider is the company manager and featured performer in some of the numbers. In addition to be a Realtor, this "Crazy Girl" enjoys boating, jet skiing and just lying in the sun. Raider modeled for the bronze sculpture which she stated was a career highlight. She is very proud to be part of Las Vegas history.

Native of Orlando, Florida began her career at Disney World.

"I did a can-can show at the theme park. I also performed in the Parisian show Hot Shock in France. I received a real estate license and sold houses for quite awhile and now work so hard in the show that I don't have time for selling homes. I've done some exciting things like taking a glider airplane over Lake Tahoe and I even used to own a pink Harley-Davidson but gave up on it because it's a dangerous sport in Vegas. They call it a Barbie Harley. I've been kayaking and even fired a Tommy Gun."

"I'm the original `Crazy Girl!'. I've been with the show one-third of my life. People who have seen the show recognize me all the time. "We've attended our share of charity events and I still have money I won from when we appeared on `Family Feud.' We've appeared on E!'s `Showgirl Special' and we hosted the `Top 10 All Time Sexiest Videos' for VH-1. When our controversial billboard went up around town and our cab advertising came under attack we received a lot of support. The locals were telling us how they looked forward to seeing us each morning on their drive to work and the tourists were saying they came to see us after viewing the billboard on their drive from the airport. I recently spent a week in Aruba including New Year's Eve and had the greatest time of my life. I was featured on HBO's `Taxicab Confessions VI and VII as window dressing. We won `Best Showgirls' again."

The year 2002 looks at Crazy's 15th Anniversary and Raider was with the show when it started. Raider may well be the only dancer who graduated into company manager of any Vegas show. Her husband, Michael Boychuck, is in partnership with George Maloof at The Palms where Karen helps him run his salon AMP during the day. She comments:

"This is the sixth longest running show in Las Vegas and is like the 'Mouse that Roared' When we opened in September of 1987, I didn't think we would be around in the new Millennium and because we worked so hard and our advertising was so striking we are survivors on the Strip. Crazy Girls has become a household name and we're proud of it. The show always improves and changes for the better. Every show needs a little tweaking to stay fresh and alive and so that about every five months, so our repeat business is the strongest of any of the similar shows. Times really go fast when you are having fun and the show has kept me in great shape physically and mentally over the years. I concentrate on running the show on a daily basis and hiring and training the Crazy Girls. It's a lot of work managing this many performers, but I've always been proud to be associate with the Riviera Hotel and the people who work there. Gerald Rivera has seen the show along with over 100 other celebrities. We've done a skit with Kevin James who stars in the King of Queens for the CBS annual meeting of executives in Las Vegas. They videotaped it in our dressing room before the show and he was great. We did a welcome last year and now they are back for more fun in the sun.

Keller was in "Crazy Girls" in '94 and '95 and has returned. When "Casino" was filming at the Riviera she was picked for a speaking part in the movie with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. She played the Princess in "King Arthur's Tournament" while she was away from "Crazy Girls." She also did modeling and worked at The Beach.

"My most embarrassing moment in show business was when my parents came to see the show. My dad was a little bit put off about it because the maitre' d put him in the front. I'm sure my dad would have liked it if I wasn't dancing in front of his face."

Rankin has made her splash in "Crazy Girls" in a big way. The former Miss Teen Nevada Pageant winner was on an "E!" Entertainment special called "Las Vegas Showgirls" at 8 p.m. on Sunday, February 20, 2000. She is also currently featured in Complete Woman magazine during February and March, 2000. Rankin is most proud of the number where she is the lead called "Boobs." Tammie is a native of Las Vegas and attends UNLV where she is majoring in psychology. She valiantly came back from a terrible car accident which occurred in May of 1997 when her car was broadsided on the driver's side. Rankin was bedridden for three months and using a walker for months after.

A&E; is going to recognize Rankin with 15 minutes of fame that will air in April, 2001, on After Dark.

"My mom hates it (my showgirl career). I'm such a Miss Goody-Two-Shoes. I'm old enough to make my own choices. This allows me to break loose and be my own person. Although it's been hard to stand up for myself, it's somehow liberating. It's so liberating that I can strut on stage with nine other busty beauties dressed as biker chicks for the opening act in the musical fun-filled show."

On May 27, 1996, Rankin was involved in a car accident and had to recuperate for four months."My pelvis was fractured. Pins were put in to hold it together. I was in bed for three months and I had o use a walker for months after that. My left leg was practically useless. I still have pain and I go periodically for physical therapy."

Rankin is attending UNLV. "When I finish my undergraduate degree I plan on getting my masters in industrial psychology. I won't be dancing on stage when I'm 30."

Rankin, the youngest of seven children, began dancing at age 6 when her mother enrolled her in dance classes at Studio One.

"At the time I was dancing at the MGM and felt I needed a change so I thought, what the heck! I tried out for the job (Crazy Girls) and here I am. The girls here are wonderful to work with and they treat me great".

Marla Gomes, a native of Hawaii, began her dance career as a little girl taking hula lessons from her step-sister and went on to become a hula dancer before taking professional dance lessons and becoming a performer in Waikiki while still attending high school at age 15. She danced in "Lido de Paris" and on "Siegfried & Roy's World Tour." Marla leads a very busy daytime life too. She sells real estate and won an award for selling 87 condos over a 90-day period along with her partner.

"I love Las Vegas. I enjoy working hard and this town does reward hard work. I left many of my fond memories in Hawaii."

In 2001, Gomes became a real estate agent while being a "swing girl" in Crazy Girls.

"I'm staying in Las Vegas for the holidays and working my day job as a Realtor while the rest of the Crazy Girls visit the Four Corners of the World from the Caribbean to Hawaii. I'm selling new houses in Henderson, again out in Green Valley, near Gibson and Horizon Ridge. The job opportunities and cost of living in Las Vegas makes it an attractive place to live and work. It's incredible. Las Vegas is still booming. Casinos and shopping malls are still opening. People want to move here because prices are low. I just bought a second home for my mom from Hawaii and the mortgage loan closed at 6-1/4% and now the rates are at 7-1/2%. We've had some cancellations because of people getting laid off or contingencies from out of state who lost their buyers." - Marla Gomes, December, 2001

Ruttenberg, a Chicago native, is an only child and says her father was a tap dancer in Elvis Presley movies and a professional dancer on "American Bandstand" until he got a herniated disc.

"I work out three times a week and am working out so that I can eat. I love food. I've been in the show for a few years now and the `Crazy Girls' always made me feel at home. There's never a dull moment from attending governor's balls to being on `Taxicab Confessions.' I was even a contestant in the Star's 'Perfect Woman' contest. I've danced in `Nutcracker' but `Crazy Girls is as big as it gets for me."

Sandoval is a professional gymnast and a dancer. Her 36-24-36 'Barbarella' figure is award winning and didn't hurt her any when she became a Class I gymnast and won numerous trophies and medals in competitions. She's married to a Las Vegas fireman and has one son. Sandoval is the only 'Crazy Girl who is as close to a native Las Vegan. She was born in Alabama when her family moved to Las Vegas when she was 15 years old. Sandoval graduated from Valley High School.

"I'm proud to have been immortalized in the bronze statue of the `Crazy Girls' at the Riviera."

Shea is the only showgirl-dancer in Las Vegas of Chinese heritage. Well, at lest half-Chinese. She grew up in Northern California where her grandparents, who were born in China, owned and operated a grocery store. Her father who is of Irish-American descent married her mother who he met while working there. Stacey learned responsibility at a very early age. She handled purchase transactions at age seven. At age 10, the family moved to San Jose where she went to high school.

The native of Boston has sailed the Seven Seas for several years and decided to move to Las Vegas because it's the entertainment capital of the world.

"I grew up in Boston with a brother and was reared by my mom after my father was murdered when I was a child. He was my inspiration to become a professional dancer. I left Boston when I was 18 years old. I'm a second generation dancer. My father and sister were dancers. They groomed me for dance competitions and pageants. I went to Salem State College for a year-and-half and I auditioned for my first professional dance job and I got it.

I've lived in Las Vegas for two years now. The toughest thing about living in Las Vegas is that I miss my family who lives in Boston. I was with `Imagine' but it moved to Lake Tahoe. I danced on the cruise ships for a few years. I worked on Holland America, Princess, Norwegian and Silver Seas. I also performed at Bush Gardens in Williamsberg, Virginia. I've been around the world four times and it's time for me to settle down. I'm in Las Vegas because it's the entertainment capital of the world. I'm very happy here. I would work on the cruise ships from six to seven months at a time. The dancers had it easy doing two shows a night, four nights a week. I had to interact with the passengers, but I'm a people person so I enjoyed it. I was going to school for sports medicine but I didn't finish so I got to go back. I really want to be a physical therapist to help the disabled.

My bedroom is my favorite room in the house because it's where I get my sleep and rest after a strenuous day. My philosophy is to live lift to its fullest and be a go-getter and too strive to do your best. My dream is to become a producer and have my own production company which is in the works."

Pat "Naomi" Lumpkin resembles a tall African princess and is a graduate of Illinois State University with a B.S. in Education. She went on to attend the world-renowned Dance Theatre of Harlem on an Arthur Mitchell Scholarship. "Naomi" is a native of Chicago where she grew up in a family of nine children.

"I began dancing at an early age and fell in love with the art form of dance. "I was delighted to be one of the models for the bronze statue. Showgirls are what made Las Vegas what it is today and I hope the legacy lives on through the Riviera's `Crazy girls' sculpture. My college education will help me in the future but for now I'm dancing in the best show in Las Vegas and all of my dreams have come true. My parents Mattie and Fletcher Lumpkin encouraged me to pursue an education and then my dreams. I love working in `Crazy Girls' and being from a large family it's like being at home gain."

"I was born in Chicago. There were nine children in my family. Our natural mom and dad reared us. My sister Mamie was my biggest influence into show business. After leaving home I went and earned my B.S. degree from Illinois State University. I have a partner now and he's my best friend in the entire world. I'm still working on my long-term career goals, but am happy with what I'm doing for now. My credits include working and performing in New York City, Los Angeles and touring in the Caribbean Islands. My philosophy about life is Don't worry - be happy! Seize the day!"

"On my days off I get my hair done .... I love to shop - I'm a shop-aholic. I'm happiest when I'm shopping, yet I haven't ever been on a shopping spree! I love all of the fashion designers. Once I bought a mink coat and now I don't care much for furs. I practically live in my bedroom. It's my favorite room in my home. I love living in Las Vegas. I now call Las Vegas my home, but my thoughts are in Europe, New York, Chicago and LA."

Chris Gilbride is the latest entertainer to return to Crazy Girls. When she last performed in the show (mid-Dec. 1991), she was Chris Zytko. Now she is married with a child.

"My mother put me in dance class when I was three years old. I attended performing arts class in high school and that's how it all began. I've always been interested in dancing. I graduated from high school in 1985. When I was 19, I did a show in Mexico city just after the terrible earthquake.

I was taking classes in New York City when I auditioned for La Cage in Las Vegas. When there was an opening in Crazy Girls I got the part. I really like Crazy Girls because we're featured as dancers and its a lot of fun. I'm one of the girls who is bronzed on the famous statue in front of the Riviera. My friends all comment about it. I thought it would be a better balance in my life to work and take care of my daughter rather than be a stay-at-home mom.

I met my husband while cutting his hair. I was a hairstylist for a couple of years. We now have a beautiful daughter named Ginger. I love being a Mom, too. As a family we like to take short trips several times a year. Since my husband is from Las Vegas I've introduced him to the cultural things in New York and he loves it. We also visit family there."

On April 2, 2001, Montgomery attended a reunion for comedians in Downtown Vegas where she met people she had worked with and met during her 15 years of touring the U.S. as a standup comedienne. Sheckymagazine.com asked the Honorable Mayor Oscar Goodman to proclaim April 2nd as Standup Comedy Day in honor of Sheckymagazine.comics-Only Reunion.

"I got to see a lot of my old friends that I haven't seen in up to 15 years when I toured before joining Crazy Girls a few years ago. It was lots of fun. Bernie Allen was there. At 85 years young he's the oldest working comedian in Las Vegas and plays the Riviera. Rusty Warren who was the female Lenny Bruce in the '70s and '80s attended. It was great to see her again. There were between 50 and 100 comedians in attendance for the first year of this annual." - Carol Montgomery
