Pizzazz Magazine: What would you say is the highlight of your life so far and how does it compare to your overall goals?
Cocktail Doll: My son is the most important thing in my life, which is really ironic since I’ve never wanted kids and never thought I would have any.
Pizzazz Magazine: Who was the first person to tell you getting into your profession was a crazy idea? At what point did you agree (even if it was momentarily)?
Cocktail Doll: No one told me I was crazy to get into cocktailing, but once I got into it a lot of people would ask me when I was going to get a “real” job.
Pizzazz Magazine: Have you made contacts using the Internet that you know you wouldn't have made if it weren't for the web being so accessible?
Cocktail Doll: Definitely. I have met so many people because of my web site. Most are just people who want to let me know they like my web site, but some are people who have linked to me or have given me exposure in some way.
Pizzazz Magazine: Funny how it usually works. We grow up wanting to be firefighters or nurses, then due to the glory of media, rock stars, actors, or millionaires and then reality sits in... We always end up being ourselves... Good or bad... What's your story?
Cocktail Doll: Talent will get you nowhere without luck and hard work. I have the desire to be rich (who doesn’t?!) but not the drive…so I became a cocktail waitress. It’s not such a bad alternative!
Pizzazz Magazine: What one thing haven't you done you would still like to?
Cocktail Doll: Own a house.
Pizzazz Magazine: Tell me one of the negative aspects of your field you think everyone should know. Do not say there are none!
Cocktail Doll: Being bombarded by people every day who have no manners and ask all kinds of stupid questions.

Pizzazz Magazine: Tell me something people do not realize about you, maybe it's not a secret, maybe it's not anything special, but it could be something no one else has ever asked you about until now. What's boring to you is news to everyone else...
Cocktail Doll: I don’t drink – I’m allergic to alcohol.
Pizzazz Magazine: What's the craziest thing you have experienced in your work? Maybe it's something you witnessed and didn't participate in, but what would shock us, make us laugh or show us another side to things besides the obvious...
Cocktail Doll: An 84-year-old man used me as a visual masturbatory tool as he jacked off at a slot machine. When he was escorted off by security, his chair was covered with cum.
Pizzazz Magazine: Anything embarrassing happen when YOU were trying to look cool? What? Embarrassing and crazy are different things!

Pizzazz Magazine: The biggest lie about your industry ever is (this is not necessarily a negative):
Cocktail Doll: All cocktail waitresses are hookers.
Pizzazz Magazine: The biggest PLUS FACTOR about your industry is:
Cocktail Doll: Cash.
Pizzazz Magazine: Did the people around you change when you went out looking to succeed in this field? Sometimes those who weren't so supportive in the beginning suddenly become supportive or possibly vice versa; they became thorns in your side....
Cocktail Doll: Some of my family members, the ones who didn’t support me at first, suddenly “respected” me when they realized I made more money than they did.

Cocktail Doll: Tori Spelling. Can you say “patrimony”?
Pizzazz Magazine: Tell me a joke!
Cocktail Doll: These two guys are sitting at a bar on the top floor of a 10-story building. They’re getting pretty drunk, so the first guy says to the second guy, “Did you know there’s an air pocket at the bottom of this building? The construction company built it that way to prevent people from killing themselves if they fall off. You can jump off the balcony and bounce right back up here, unharmed.” The second guy says, “Get outta here.” The first guy says, “Serious. I’ll bet you a hundred bucks I can do it.” The second guy says, “You’re on.” So the first guy jumps off the balcony, and bounces right back up, unharmed. The second guy is in disbelief, but gives him a hundred bucks and says, “Cool! I wanna try that.” So he jumps off the balcony, and falls to his death. The bartender says to the first guy, “Superman, you’re an asshole.”
Pizzazz Magazine: What is your favorite music album of all time and what music group do you listen to most often?
Cocktail Doll: I go through phases where I’ll listen to J. Lo or Dr. Hook or Christina Aguilera continuously. But usually I listen to mix CD’s that I’ve made, compilations of alternative, classic rock, dance, love songs, and rock.
Pizzazz Magazine: Who should hang up their hat in your business? Why?
Cocktail Doll: Lazy employees who call in or always want to leave work early, making the rest of us work harder to cover their asses!

Pizzazz Magazine: What TV show do you miss from childhood...? I used to love Land of the Giants and Dance Fever (kidding on that one)....
Cocktail Doll: There are so many! I loved Casper the Friendly Ghost, Get Smart, Gomer Pyle, Heckyl & Jeckyl, H.R. Pufnstuf, and The Mickey Mouse Club.
Pizzazz Magazine: Ever had someone from your past try and track you down after realizing what you do for a living now and bug the tar out of you? I know this seems like the same questions as, "did people change" but it isn't meant to be....
Cocktail Doll: My ex-boyfriend came looking for me at a casino I used to work at, but I was off that day. Then he looked me up on Classmates.com and e-mailed me on the pretext that he wanted to return a ring that belonged to me. When I replied that he could send it to my sister’s address, I never heard from him again.
Pizzazz Magazine: If you were anyone else besides yourself, who would you be (even for just a day, on a good day of course) and did you emulate them growing up?
Cocktail Doll: Madonna. I would love to know what it’s like to be that self-confident, to have such discipline and drive. Also, to have the power that she has over people.
