Melissa is our gorgeous bartender of the month. Here's what you need to do: read all about this rock star, then head into Red Rock every Wednesday and Thursday nite from 8pm - 4am and give her all of your money! Don't forget to tell her that you saw her interview...if you print it out, she'll autograph it for you. Trust me, it'll be worth millions one day!



Name:
Melissa

Where are you from?
I'm from the Bronx...yes, I grew up there all my life. No, I'm not from the southwest!

Shifts:
Wednesday nights with Noelle & Thursday nights with Tracy and Annie... Gentlemen...you'll end up leaving without a penny in your pocket!

How long have you worked at Red Rock? How did you get your job?
I've been at Red Rock for about a year and a half. I think I had to go through the most grueling process of getting the job here, I entered a talent contest at the bar to win a spot as a bartender. So, fifteen other girls and myself all competed by dancing on the bar and serving drinks; by audience vote, I won...but that wasnt the end of it. I had to prove to everyone that I could work at Red Rock and be a great bartender...so I guess I proved it.

What makes you a Red Rock superstar?
I think I have an intriguing balance of being both sweet and innocent, but also being a naughty bad-ass. I am very friendly, and almost always have a smile on my face. I love dancing, getting down and crawling on my knees across the bar, and being a master flirt- you better watch out when Bon Jovi plays on the Jukebox ! I guess I've always been a little shocking, because nobody ever expects the sweet girl-next-door type to be totally outrageous and crazy. (Did I mention that I ride motorcycles and how I won the talent contest at the bar? I ripped off my skirt to reveal bootie shorts and a pair of hooker boots!!)

Tell us your funniest experience at Red Rock:
Wow, there are a lot of those. Having piggy-back races in the bar with the bouncers, or Tracy and I picking each other up by our legs (on the bar, no less!) to do Superman impressions (you know, the thing your parents would do with you when you were a kid). I also enjoyed spanking Mongo (a bouncer) with a frying pan everytime "Whip It " came on the Jukebox. Those are just a few of the stories!

What's your biggest pet peeve as a bartender?
I HATE when customers tell me to get on the bar, and act all perverted...This isn't a damn strip club OK !! If you want to see a stripper, go somewhere else ! And of course, I'm not very fond of bad tippers.

How do you spend your time when you're not bartending?
I guess what a lot of people dont know is that I'm going to school for my Master's Degree in Graphic design, so 2 days I week I'm in class. With my free time I take care of my 55 gallon salt water fish tank, its pretty damn cool ! I also do lots of paintings and drawings... I've always been an art geek. Getting hungover twice a week is pretty much enough for me, so I usually like to take it easy whenever I'm not at the bar. Recently, I've been doing Red Rock's flyers and advertisements, so I've been putting my knowledge in graphic design to use.

What do you Prefer?
Coke or Pepsi? Pass the Ketel One!
Boxers or Briefs? Eww, tighty whiteys! Haha! I like boxerbriefs on a guy.
Reality TV or Sitcoms? Totally addicted to Reality TV.
Cats or Dogs? I love all animals, but I would get a dog first (a Pug).

Did I mention that I love this woman? Now that you've gotten to know her, mark your calendars...don't forget that this upcoming Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo! We're having specials and giveaways all nite long! Melissa + Tequila = mucho trouble. See ya there!
