Tough Jobs

April 30th, 2013 by Nina with No Comments

Do you remember that show Dirty Jobs, with Mike Rowe? He would go into all of these crazy situations that people do day in and day out to earn a living, like a sanitation plant or roadkill taxidermists. Well, I am proud to say I have a tough, DIRTY job just like Mike Rowe. I know, I know…cue the strings…

From Saturday’s GLOW PARTY at Axis:

Please note the adorable GLOW panties I am sporting. :)

THANK YOU, Columbus!

May 1st, 2012 by Nina with No Comments

So, this morning, as I was shaking off a night of heavy sleep after the annual Denison Show, and my phone began ringing. It was my mom. I don’t know about you,  but usually when I see my mother on my caller ID, I immediately think something is wrong. I am not sure why I am like that because 99.999% of the time, nothing is ever wrong. But, there I was this morning, immediately thinking that something was happening. Something was wrong.

I answered quickly and my mom says, “Congratulations!’

What? For what, I thought. And then I said, “For what, mom?”

“On your thing…” she said, I could hear the excitement in her voice. Ijust had no idea what she was referring to at all.

“On what, mom? I am not sure what you are talking about…”

My mind was going from one place to another. Maybe she heard the Dension show last night was amazing. Maybe she was congratulating me on that. No. Doubtful. I couldn’t figure it out…

“The magazine poll, Andrew! You got third place!! Congratulations! ”

Oh my god! The (614) Magazine poll! I completely forgot about that! And holy what????

“What?” My voice cracked a little. My heart was racing. I was and still am so thrilled. What a huge honor.

Mom and I talked a bit longer, and laughed, and she made it very clear that Jack Hanna is everything. Trust me, I know that.

But, wow, are you kidding me? I think I may have officially arrived! I will gladly take 3rd to two people that I think the world of, JACK HANNA and JENI BRITTON BAUER! AMEN!

Wow. Again, complete shock. And so honored and humbled. Thank you, Columbus and all of you NINA fans out there who continue to love and support me and push me to be better every time.

And, the entire amazing thing about all of this? Just about 6 months ago, my mom and dad had just found out that Nina existed. In a strange full-circle moment, my mom was the first person to call and inform me of this amazing news. And she was so excited. No, that is what tells me I have officially arrived. Thank you mom and dad.

Columbus, get ready for a renaissance.

 




Nina West is one of the ColumBEST

May 1st, 2012 by Nina with No Comments

(614) Magazine’s ColumBEST polls are in! 106 categories, 286,891 votes from 9,894 voters! We at superdragqueen.com are pleased and proud to announce that Nina West is one of Columbus’ favorite local celebrities!

Check it out here! (614) Magazine ColumBEST

Best Overall Columbus Celebrity

Jack Hanna 21.31% of 2,529 votes

www.jackhanna.com

Briefly embroiled in a strange controversy earlier this year after defending Zanesville deputies who put down over 50 exotic animals, Jack Hanna still hung onto the mantle of the city’s best overall celebrity. Most rational people sided with Jack, who probably cried a lot as he helped authorities track down very many escaped predators. Widely acknowledged as one of the leading animal experts in the country, his incredible work at the Columbus Zoo transformed it into a national destination. When it comes down to it, we just love him as Jungle Jack – the man in the khakis with the charming Southern drawl. His love for animals and devotion to charitable causes and conservation efforts has made him the gold standard of Columbus celebrities.

2) Jeni Britton Bauer … 6.56%

3) Nina West … 6.45%

Thank you to all who voted in the contest and for making Nina West one of your favorites!
