gansevoort hotel manhattan, new york | april 15, 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Heavy bass, seductive trance waves pulsated through the Provocateur Nightclub of the Gansevoort Hotel. Coupled with the colorful, psychedelic interior which was radiated by an array of LED ribbons mounted on the walls, the music set a hypnotic mood for the club’s patrons. It was close to 3am and most of the night’s festivities had already taken place. Champagne bottles had been popped and some of Hollywood’s hottest musical talent put on live performances for their celebrity peers. With only an hour left until the nightclub closed its doors, things were beginning to slow down. The dance floor was still filled with people who were vibing to the euphoric trance tones, but there were also couples and groups who’d retreated to the luxury lounge couches and private booths. The Gansevoort itself was a luxury hotel with modern designs, state-of-the-art amenities, and a total of one hundred eighty-seven guest bedrooms. Bernadette could never imagine herself stepping foot inside a place like this, let alone being in a room full of A-list and B-list celebrities and today’s pop stars. Of course the only reason she was here tonight was because of her connection. She was a nobody with no money and no background worth talking about. Granted there were a few actors and rappers, all of the male specie, who recognized Bijou as her alter ego Trixxie Cherot - the woman who brought many of their fantasies to life. That was one good thing about being in the adult industry. It at least got her foot in the door and earned her some credibility with the stars, even if it was a very small one. The only reason Bernadette was here tonight was because she was on the arm of her label manager. The sole purpose of attending this event was to gain connections and promote her music - generally, toss her name around here and there. It all felt like a dream and she still couldn’t wrap her head around it. It was all so surreal. Everything about the past six months was. Now that she’d finished recording her first rap album, she was getting a firsthand look at what being a celebrity really meant. The studio sessions had been trying and exhausting, but they were manageable enough. Now that the label’s focus had shifted to promotion, Bernadette’s weeks were hectic. She was being herded from one place to another to meet this executive or connect with that person or discuss plans of future public appearances and small local concerts and listening parties. Apparently she wasn’t enough of a hot commodity to perform at this event for all the hotshot celebrities. And the men only cared so long as she was naked. But she was planning on leaving that life behind her. This rapping thing was getting her a lot closer to fame than adult films ever could and she no longer needed them. Come August, she would be terminating her contract with Playhouse Productions and moving onto bigger and better things. Bernadette was currently posted at the bar with a half-full dirty martini clutched in her hands. Her manager had advised her against drinking and, well aware of her wild party habits, he’d kept a close eye on her all night. But now that he was temporarily out of the picture, tucked away in a back room discussing her future career with some important bloke, Bernadette could get away with what she wanted. She didn’t know how many drinks she’d had so far, but at least she wasn’t drunk. She downed the rest of her martini, set the glass on the bar top and grabbed her clutch. When she pushed herself out of her seat she wobbled in her heels for a split second before regaining herself. Okay so maybe she was a little drunk. The twenty-four year old sauntered towards the mass of bodies that occupied the dance floor. Whatever the hell they were playing sounded like the trippy music that vampire movies were known for featuring in their nightclub scenes. But she was bored, drunk and wanted to move so she went along with it. Besides it was surprisingly euphoric. If only she had some acid to make the experience even better. As she moved her body to the music, she stumbled and teetered backwards a little. She felt the heel of her shoe connect with something and she immediately knew she'd stepped on someone's foot. The incident caused her to temporarily lose her balance, making her stumble backward and bump into whoever was standing behind her. Shit. What a great way to get a start in the business. If her two-toned blue and pink hair didn't get her noticed then this certainly would. Her career would be over before she left the hotel that night. “I'm so sorry,” she uttered, her voice only half-sincere, as she turned around to see whose foot she'd violated.
