Bubbles wandered into the club one night looking for a job. A "club virgin,"
she got onstage despite obvious trepidation, but wouldn't tell anyone why she
was there. The well-meaning but inexperienced newbie almost immediately
started running afoul of the unspoken rules that all the veterans know - and
she conveniently forgot to tell her best friend what she was up to.

Stage Name: Cinnamon
Real Name: Kristina Reyes
Job: Dancer
Tattoos: purple cinnamon flowers on right arm
Piercings: ear lobes, kitty
First seen: page 2
Cinnamon is an old hand at the stripping scene. She stripped for an unknown
but probably significant amount of time, then quit when the club became too
seedy for her self-respect. When her friend Portia discovered Pink Parts, she
convinced Cinnamon to return to dancing. (The story in Cinnamon's own words
is told on page 53.)
Cinnamon shares an apartment with her younger sister, Dani, who seems to
take issue with her sister's occupation, even though she got rather close
with Leah at a Halloween party.

First seen: page 7
Deenah showed up at Cinnamon's Halloween party convinced it would be the best
party ever. After getting stoned and raiding the kitchen, she wound up out
on the balcony, missing all the action indoors and wondering what happened
to her night of fun.
Stage Name: Leah
Real Name: Sydney Perkins
Job: Shotgirl, stage dancer
Tattoos: hearts on right shoulder blade
Piercings: ear lobes, navel, nipples, tongue
First seen: page 10
The club's resident shotgirl is a bouncy bundle of energy, as excitable as
a puppy and about as likely to leap into any available lap. She occasionally
goes missing from her shift and can usually be found in the dressing room,
having a little fun. If you find a lost vibrator or dildo in the club, it's
probably Leah's.
Name: Stefan Baum
Job: House mom
Tattoos: none
Piercings: right ear cartilage
First seen: page 12
Stefan came to Pink Parts for a temporary job when he needed money to open
his own hair salon. The salon has been open for a while now, but he stays
on at the club anyway. His official job description includes, among other
things, sewing costumes, putting on makeup, giving hair and other fashion
advice, and generally making sure the girls have what they need to put
on a show. His unofficial job description includes anything he doesn't
vehemently refuse to do.
Stef shares how he joined Pink Parts on pages 102 and 103.
Stage Name: Portia
Real Name: Roseanne Hollis
Job: Dancer
Tattoos: gothic cross on upper back, matching anklets
Portia's foot tattoos designed by
TotusMel.
Piercings: ear lobes, monroe, tongue
First seen: page 25
Relatively quiet - at least in comparison to some of the other
ladies - Portia keeps to herself except when she's antagonizing Ruby,
against whom she seems to have some kind of vendetta. Leah is intent on
getting Portia to join in her "fun," but Portia doesn't seem interested
(page 39, page 55). She never wears any pastel colors and is
usually seen with a drink in her hand.
Stage Name: Ruby
Real Name: Sherry Cantrell
Job: Dancer
Tattoos: butterfly tribal tramp stamp
Piercings: ear lobes, navel, labia
First seen: page 29
Portia may have it out for Ruby, but Ruby has it out for everyone. She did
at least help Bubbles get on stage for the first time (page 30), but turned
an about-face later and chewed her out for a simple newbie mistake (page 119).
She didn't go to Cinnamon's Halloween party, but she did roll by and call
the cops (page 56), apparently just for fun.
