General
Manager Jennifer Russell
Warrior Princess
Past: Born on a dark and stormy night
somewhere in the midwest, Jennifer always knew she was
meant for something...well, fabulous! But alas,
the road to "fabulousness" seemed endless
and filled with giant pot holes! Then, as luck and Jennifer's
friend Annie would have it, she was introduced to Avery
Kincaid and the fabulous Stardust! That amazing
little sprite sprinkled a little Stardust over Jennifer's
head and her life took a fabulous turn!
Since then, she's done everything in
the joint! She started as a waiter, slid over to bartending,
became the best floor manager Stardust has ever seen,
then general manager, she even tried her hand in the
kitchen (Chef Pat banished her from the kitchen for
a little while after that!) and now she's got a little
piece of the pie! Although she likes to refer herself
as a "baby owner", there's nothing small about
what she does. On any given day you may find her setting
up a private party in the Blue Velvet Room, making out
the schedule, running food, greeting guests and fielding
phone calls and emails, checking in deliveries, going
to the bank and stopping at Staples, doing payroll,
ordering wine and beer, fixing the a/c on the roof,
writing the sidewalk messages for the evening, changing
the mannequins' outfits, or even making a cocktail!
And that's just the begining!! Of everything she does,
she truly enjoys the more creative aspects of her job
the most. She says, "it's all about the visual"
and she means it. She has taken those kitchy toasters,
radios, typwriters and mannequins and created a wonderfully,
whimsical atmosphere! In addition to arranging, rearranging,
and rotating the collectibles, she must keep the mannequins
well groomed and dressed appropriately. Watching her
wrestle clothes on and off of these naked, life-size
dolls is a life-size hoot.
Future: W.P has a great future ahead
of her. Pat (Chef Man) and Avery are hoping she will
spend the rest of her professional life with them.
