wow mirka, i hope you weren't talking about me being the one who was soooooo nice to you and then slagged you on here, because i totally wasn't saying anything about the djs on the stage, just the marketing of them...

Jay I have to agree with you, I am hoping this was simply an oversight by Chrissy who has a ton of things to handle with this stage.....The female/non female dj thing is retarded. Who cares. I think it's even more ridulous that people fawn over the fact that people spin records.....how come doctors that save lives don't get the same attention? Another reason why I hate having "DJ" in front of my name. I apologize for my morning rant I was a little pissed though, but as I mentioned before I did take into account BOTH sides and simply had my two cents to put in..... And no Jay I wasn't marking you or anyone for that hand, just trying to stand up for myself. I am sure posts from the other women on this stage with bios etc will follow Last edited by Mirka Cerny; Jun 21, 05 at 07:15 PM. |

Reading all this makes me very disappointed. For the longest time in the world, there WERE no female djs.
From my personal opinion, we need to learn how to respect each other, and others, and this and/or outside of this scene. Booking all female djs is not just about tits. These girls need a start on a dj career. And I think Christy deserves big thanks for putting all female stage together, AND for giving a chance to those girls to show their talent and be heard. All of you have your own opinions, whatever they are, but I say we need to appreciate their interest and love in music! And if you really think about apex, what IS Apex? Its not a big rave or a massive, where only THE best talent is brought, and where u payt 55 $ + a ticket, which is thrown by 1 or 2 or whatever promoters/productions . come on, its APEX! Its all about promoters promoting their own stage, it’s a chance for them to show their set up, and action, and hope the attendees will attend their upcoming party and not only that, but also gives a big chance for some unknown talent to finally show themselves. Everyone needs a start... Maybe they became 10 x better then from the last time you heard them. You can’t judge until you hear. I would say 75% of attendees have no fucking idea wtf the difference between stage 1 and stage 10 will be! It’s all the same to them – Techno! Am I wrong? And please tell me you don’t like it when you are at the party having fun, and you are dancing away or just standing sipping on the beer, whatever it is, and u look up and this cute cute face looks at you ( like Bri or Christy), while trying to mix their record. Come on, we all love to see female djs! I personally love it! And they do deserved to be called Hotties, because they ARE hotties! We are all in rave seen.. where is the PLUR guys?? LOL lets give each other hugs and kisses, and live in pz :) we all gonna have a blast at apex, no matter what stage you choose! But for those that appreciate female dj talent, please show your support, and just be there! |

i am playing on an ALL FEMALE STAGE in Estonia, at the Sun dance music festival.....BUT IT IS SPONSORED BY TAMPAX. ppl have all female stages all over the world for lots of other reasons.
AND funny, how just a little while ago, it was suggested that i put a "miss" in front of B.Traits, so more ppl would know im female........ jokes..... it was said to be a "better marketing tip". sort of the same to when ppl said keep the name BABY traits... |

How to be a girl
It shouldnt be an issue whether you arrive in possession of a johnson or a chocha as alng as you show up with your records. Sadly, as any female DJ knows, it is. Clubland is far more likely to charmpion women's cleavage than women's equality. You're going to change all that. Say it loud: "I'm not with the DJ; I am the DJ." Dare to be a Dolly Most women shutter at the idea of using their looks to get ahead. "I think its really unfortunate that some female DJs exploit their sex to get work," says Londons DJ Touch. "It's important to be good at what you do and not rely on getting recognition because you're a woman." She's absolutly right - if you want respect for your music, no one's going to give it to you because you're wearing a pushup bra and hot pants. However, if you just want to get our there, maybe the issue is not so cut-and-dried. In the spirit of disco terrorism, any method that gets you gigs is worth considering. If you're a great DJ who's dreperate to crash though that glass ceiling, what's wrong with using sex appeal to get where you want? Provided you have talent to win respect once you get on the decks, maybe it's a "by any means necessary" situation. DJ Dazy agrees, though she insists that if you adopt this tactic to get ahead, you'd better have the skills to justify. "I used to dress quite scruffy. I wanted to be sure I was getting booked because I was a good DJ, Not because I looked nice." -Lottie p. 258-261 How to DJ right - Frank Broughton & Bill Brewster >>> Last edited by Ree Fresh; Jun 21, 05 at 05:02 PM. |

once again...
io've got no problems with an all female stage, in fact i applaud missy for pushing female dj's to the forefront. i've got no problems with girl dj's. the more girl dj's, the more girls in the scene, and that's fine by me....and the more djs in total then the more likelyhood of the one's i hear being good. i've got no problem with female dj's using their hotness to draw a corwd....it's your hotness, use it as you see fit.... all i was saying is it'd be nice to hear a little bit about music and not JUST "look at the eye-candy we've got", which is what i got off of the thread... the one thing now? this stage has officially got the most press and notice of any apex stage hands down as of this moment :) |

Wow.
I'm just blown away that people are still arguing over this! There's nothing to argue! It's just a stage! and this is what's going to happen on it! I'm seeing alot of passive aggressive males doing 90% of the negative posting in this thread, with severely negative attitudes, which are mirroring some severely bruised egos. You guys are passing this stage off as a type of "pre-mature failure", dubbing it to be something aweful and demeaning destruction to our scene, making this huge drama about how terrible it is BEFORE YOU'VE EVEN HEARD ANYONE PLAY, BEFORE THE EVENT HAS EVEN BEGUN. I know what this is about now: This is about CONTROL. This is about your hopes to maintain a firm grip in holding some sort of control over this stage, in which you have ZERO part in. I swear if another man lectures me about "the meaning of music" and how females are "ruining it for everyone".... Your balls will be on display at the front entrance of the party. You have NO RIGHT to tell ANYONE who does and does not deserve to appreciate, spin or understand music. We ALL love music, and to accuse a group of pretty girls who have talent and stage presence, that we're suddenly taking all meaning away from music, is disgusting. Puff up your chests somewhere else, you guys. Just let us do our thing. |

no hard feelings Jay, but I'm just really suprised you were arguing with this.
I support your shows 100%. I even offered to help flyer for you guys. I'll be there and I'll be there to support you guys, and I expect the same in return. Talk to you soon. |

^ thats a little bit blown up there.
i think there is some bruised male egos here - only because they cant just post a picture of themselves spinning and receive the same amount of attention - and they should be a bit bothered by that. numerous guys in this thread have talked about not denying any of these fine ladies their talent, merely stated that they want to know what they spin. i dont think thats too much to ask really. and you have to admit, the mere fact thatyou asume\did post just the ladies pictures means that you are indeed drawing attention to the sexuality of the ladies rather then their technical skill. |
