Cast
Stage Name: Bubbles
Real Name: Linda Jeffries
Job: Dancer
Tattoos: none
Piercings: ear lobes, right industrial, navel
First seen: page 1
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.
Nickname: Haggis
Real Name: Angus McCadden
Job: Bouncer
Tattoos: biohazard on left bicep
Piercings: none
First seen: page 1
Haggis keeps order in the club, mostly sticking to threats but unafraid
to bash a few heads when necessary. His tattoo means "I'm hazardous to
your health," but good luck getting any further explanation out of him.
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.
Name: Raymond Welsh
Job: Club owner
Tattoos: none
Piercings: none
First seen: page 3
Name: Ceejay Byrnes
Job: DJ
Tattoos: none
Piercings: right ear lobe
First seen: page 5
Ceej spins the tunes for the girls, and it's no small responsibility -
the energy in the club is mostly up to him. The pressure doesn't seem
to bother him, though. Calm and easy-going, he manages to keep himself
busy in the boring job that all his friends are jealous of. Always
knock before entering his booth.
Stage Name: Baby
Real Name: Eleanor Brice
Job: Bartender, dancer
Tattoos: butterflies on back
Piercings: ear lobes and cartilage, navel
First seen: page 7
Stage Name: Deenah
Real Name: Melody Finch
Job: Bartender, dancer
Tattoos: tree of life on back, flowers on left foot
Piercings: ear lobes
First seen: page 7
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 be found in the dressing room, having a
little fun. If you find a lost vibrator, dildo, or other such toy in the club,
it's 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.
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
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.
