"How I got
involved with Dinah is proof of how small the world is that we live in.
A
co-worker of mine who knew I had wrangled talent for other events, asked me if I
would be interested in helping out her close friend who was one of the GM’s for
Dinah/Club Skirts.
Come to find out this GM she spoke of was a past softball
mentor of mine years ago.
I met up with her and after some long over due
catching up we got down to business. I was offered one of the talent wrangler
positions and before I could answer, The BIG question was asked, “Now are you
prepared for what’s to come?”
Excited
for the opportunity I immediately said, “YES”. Keep in mind I was a Dinah
virgin, I had never experienced Dinah prior to this; I was simply going on
stories I had heard.
My first year, Dinah 2011 OMG was I nervous. Not only did I
want to do a good job but I would have to do it with beautiful women all around
me. Keep in mind I was freshly out
of a 7-year relationship and had just started a new one. Oh what did I get
myself into is the first thing that popped into my mind that first night, as I
roomed with 3 other ladies who lets say were very comfortable with their bodies
lol.
After getting into the groove of things and having great management to
lead the way I quickly became comfortable and enjoyed every moment. It’s
amazing to see so many strong beautiful women come together in one place.
Dinah 2012, my second year I was asked back as Lead Wrangler
and even though I had worked Dinah the year before I was just as nervous, but
this time I new I had my Dinah family to back me up.
I have two favorite moments
of my Second year at Dinah. The first; hearing Chaka Khan ask her manager to
place the flowers I had picked out for her dressing room (Easter Lilies), and
to place them on stage with her because she thought they where so beautiful. I
was so proud.
Second, meeting my soon to be wife. I have Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend
to thank for that.
Now that’s what’s up!

You will often hear many of us refer to each other as family
because that’s what we are.
There’s an instant bond and understanding of one
another. We all truly suffer from “Dinah withdrawals/Dinah Blues”.
A few days after the event not only are
we having dreams of making sure talent is on time to sound check, but we miss
each other so much as if months have already passed.
As Dinah 2013 approaches, my advice is don’t just go to
Dinah, Experience it, embrace it, allow it to become a part of you. You will
never regret it."
