★ word on the street with LUNA JUAREZ ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? hey, y’all, it’s lulu. i’m a vip server and i have been for, like, i guess close to two years. time flies when you’re killing it, i guess! streets are saying it’s been the most profitable 24 months the place has ever had, but what do i know, they don’t let me see numbers. all i know is i’ve seen enough to pay off my camry, so i can only imagine what’s hitting bruna’s checking account. you’re welcome, queen!

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? i drink palomas now. before i worked here, i used to love making all my friends do jaegerbombs with me, but that’s apparently trashy or fucked up or something. or so i was told by one of my junior managers. who’s to say. so anyway, palomas, which are nice. it's a decent amount of liquor and it kind of tastes like you’re thinking about a sweet tart. i kinda just like the color. it makes my tan pop, right?

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? dirrty. my girl, xtina. stripped was probably the number one album of my childhood home, my mom and my sister were both fucking obsessed, so they raised me right. i was her for halloween like, three times.

what’s your most iconic night out memory? everybody is fucking lying to you if they're not talking about tulum in these. you get these people out of the country and they lose their minds. i'm not messy enough to air it all out in 4k, but the freaks know who they are. i liked the night we went to that place with all the bird statues. dinner was loud, drinks were strong, and i ended the night in the bed i wanted to be in. i sleep better when we're all being so real, the drama is good for my rem cycles.

what’s your craziest rideshare story? i once got in an uber on one date and left it on another. i'm being so serious. i was doing drinks and dinner with this finance guy, who was only in town on some kind of bender, and it was not the vibe i thought it'd be. i thought it'd be like, one magical, crazy night, but he just wanted to talk shit about a bunch of people i didn't know and show me pictures of his car. i wasn't feeling it, but when the night ended, he had already ordered a ride to this condo, so i went with it. making small talk with the driver was more pleasant than the entire night had been with this other guy, so i just let the loser go home and brought the uber driver back to the strip. and he could fucking hang! i mean, until he couldn't, he was asked to leave for breaking dress code and allegedly selling some guy molly out front. but i'd rather have that than boring.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? i used to work at a wendy's in high school, wore the hell out of that little red polo, and i'm nothing if not loyal. chicken nuggets and a frosty, a little salty and sweet.

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? let's do it!

truth or dare? dare! i want a dare.

show me your instagram search history. oh, that's boring, i think it's mostly, like, nail shit and little updos. our uniforms are definitely better than the last place i worked, but i still like to shake things up. we're gonna ignore that middle one, that full ass first name last name search for one of our lovely vip hosts. i mean, you know how things move on the strip. i like to keep tabs on things. like you haven't done the same!

[trueaffections]

★ word on the street with SCOTTY MERCER ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? my name’s scotty and i’ve been a bartender at eden for a little over a year.

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? i used to drink a lot of beer, but i've kind of given up on that. i'm on a sex on the beach kick right now. i'm still exploring though, keeping my options open. a signature drink is a big commitment, you know?

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? greedy by ariana grande. or anything off of dangerous woman, really, if you’re looking to get a thirty-year-old white dude flipping an imaginary ponytail over his shoulder.

what’s your most iconic night out memory? i used to do like, dumb backwoods shit, y'all. there was one year, a bunch of our friends were back for christmas, and it started snowing when we left the bar, so we loaded up my buddy's truck and went tubing. which was incredibly dumb, by the way, i got thrown off the tube almost instantly, but i don't know. those first few minutes, when you were just drunk and going fast as hell? that's gotta be the closest you can get to flying.

what’s your craziest rideshare story? I’ve only been in like, three ubers, and they were all pretty unremarkable, but i used to carpool about an hour both ways to go visit an, uh, friend of mine when she was in college. we were at different schools, and i was going to see her more than her me, so me and this guy i went to school with who’s girlfriend went to the same school as my friend would take turns driving back and forth to go visit them, split the cost. and we did that for all four years of college. we didn’t really talk much, i guess about the weather or basketball or whatever, but i didn’t have a lot of guy friends, so i took what i could get from him. our last drive was out to graduation, and at the end, i go to say goodbye, because i figure this is it for us now. and i say, you know, good to hang out, or whatever, and he said “sure thing, seth.” in four years, he hadn’t learned my name. an uber driver can’t cut you like that.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? i like sonic. it was the closest fast food to where i grew up, we’d literally just drive out there and get drunk in the parking lot and sit and eat tater tots for hours. when i was teaching, i think literally all that i had getting me through most days was knowing i’d be allowed to get a happy hour slushy on my way home.

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? sure!

truth or dare? I’m boring, i pick truth.

what’s the craziest rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself? oh, i actually have a really good one! last time i went home, i heard that like, half of my graduating class thinks i when i moved down here, it’s cause i had some sort of breakdown and joined a satanic sex cult. which is at least like, 2/3rds wrong, right?

[trueaffections]

★ word on the street with SIRI BOWDEN ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? my name is siri and i'm a vip server. i've worked here for three and half years.

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? my favorite drink is a manhattan. chilled, in a martini glass, i think it looks stupid on the rocks. reeks of insecurity. i'll sometimes ask for tennessee whiskey instead of rye, when i'm really trying to make it clear to the bartender that i know what i'm doing. shows i'm about business. i usually just drink white wine, but i've found it makes one almost too approachable.

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? breakin’ dishes by rihanna. i miss her so bad. not only is it an incredibly sexy song, it's like, cathartic to get to twerk in unity too, because i think we've all been there. plus, i like watching all the guys get a little nervous, because they should be. 

what’s your most iconic night out memory? i once got to ride in a helicopter with some guy. i don't think it was like, his helicopter, but he definitely had a better hook up to it than anyone i know, so credit where credit is due. it was actually a really nice sort-of-date, because i couldn't hear any of the 20 questions he asked me over the blades...

what’s your craziest rideshare story? i have been known to throw elbows at the uber checkpoint. you know, like when they set up at the end of the street to just take drunk people home all night? i may or may not have gone a little overboard a few weeks ago when we were trying to get a ride to the girls' house. we were coming out at the same time as a bachelorette party, and there was only one uberxl left. we travel best as a pack, it's a nightmare to try and figure out who's going in what car - and don't get me wrong, i'm part of the problem, i'm the first one crawling to the back row to snag seats for me and jack, but it's a delicate balance, so we were getting that fucking van. ultimately, i figured "whatever, she's getting married." when she's somene's wife she won't be sitting around stewing about some bitch who tore her sash over an overpriced ride in a toyota highlander.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? i don't crave fast food, but i will put away a bag of tortilla chips. that's the perfect drunk person snack. just dry, you can get a dip out for appearances, but i know what i want. just plain, corn tortilla chips.

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? okay.

truth or dare? truth. i don’t like to waste my daring.

what is your toxic trait?  i'm sure a number of eager and obviously stable young men in southern florida would really jump at the chance to lay this one out, but i guess i could give them a hand. i have been told i have a nasty attitude, i'm argumentative, i'm pathologically closed off, but you guys keep coming back for more, so i guess it's not all bad, huh?

[trueaffections]

★ word on the street with LAZLO NABIL ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? lazlo, bartender. i’ve been bartending for years, but i’ve worked here for maybe a year. that's the longest i've been in one place in a while, i must like it or something.

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? i like a negroni. as an industry professional, i'd say it's the closest thing to a perfect drink, uh, flavor wise, but i also really like that you have to drink it slow if you want to really enjoy it. it's kind of beautiful, a drink that forces you to take your time, stay a little longer. not rush on to the next. i like to sit with it for a while - after a couple of shots, obviously.

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? get low. i don’t like a lot of the music here, i’ll be honest – it’s not bad, just not my taste, you know? but i like that one. It’s fun, and people go crazy for it. i like any song that makes the girls scream and start dancing, right?

what’s your most iconic night out memory? ah, so hard to choose just one. the first clubs i went to were all in berlin, and that was a lot of fun. you're not supposed to talk about it though, did you know that? they get very protective of their privacy, they say discretion is the key to making a truly free nightlife scene work. i figured its a good point: you can definitely tell, there's something about what it does to a person's inhibition, when they know nobody's going to bring it up in the morning. we could do with a little more of that here, no?

what’s your craziest rideshare story? i don’t really use them. i  bike to work and i bike home, or walk, if biking is, uh, not an option. but the ubers, man, you have got to watch out for them. i almost got into an accident with one a few weeks ago, they cut me off and i had to roll into the median, and she stopped to make sure i was okay. which was nice and everything, but after about thirty seconds, her passenger started yelling at her! he had reservations somewhere where the call time was more important than making sure they didn't commit manslaughter on the way there, i suppose.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? kebab. i know a place by the pier, which is genius, because it's the perfect food to carry around. i think the walking is almost more important than the food though. it's like an adventure. plus, it gives you a minute to... [mimes a fingers to lip joint gesture]

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? do you promise?

truth or dare? truth.

what is your toxic trait? ha! what if i have none? just kidding. i guess you could say i'm indecisive. i'm not good at committing, i like to live in the moment. i'll sort out tomorrow later.

[trueaffections]

★ word on the street with ELI LANCASTER ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? hi, my name is eli and i’m a server. i’m coming up on one year – do we throw a party for that, or is that redundant, since we’re already throwing parties every night? 

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? oh, i suck, i’m usually just a white claw girlie. so basic. i like a margarita sometimes, if we’re doing cocktails, but that’s a lot of ingredients to wrangle when a seltzer gets the job done, you know?

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? coming of age by maisie peters. i’m pushing that one hard right now, for sure. i like shawn mendes a lot too. i made my sisters go see him with me a few years ago.

what’s your most iconic night out memory? we used to throw bonfires all the time, cause i grew up at the beach, and there was one year a bunch of tourists had complained about us, so they had some kind of neighborhood watch that was really cracking down on us. the closest i ever got to getting caught, i had to literally go underwater in a cave to hide. just kind of hanging out down there in my jean shorts, holding my breath, praying there aren’t any guests in there with me. isn’t that so stupid? all that trouble, over a little dry humping. crazy. and i probably still went and did it again!

what’s your craziest rideshare story? one time i was out at some bar i definitely shouldn’t have been in with my boyfriend, and we called an uber, because he was at least responsible about aiding and abetting underage drinking. and i would get nervous and shove in behind the driver so i wouldn’t have to talk to him and blow our cover. i’m keeping it lowkey, i’m not making eye contact, we drive in silence for a few minutes, and then the driver out of nowhere is like “hey, eli lancaster, how are you doing back there?” which is the most terrifying fucking thing a stranger can say to you when you’re already paranoid in the backseat of his car. until i realized it wasn’t a stranger, it was my cousin. i mean, statistically, i have a big enough family in a small enough corner of north carolina that it shouldn’t have been that surprising, but he scared the shit out of me – and my boyfriend, who i honestly think deserved it a little for not recognizing his profile picture.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? i just want mozzarella sticks. i get drunk and my body craves fried cheese. i’ve almost burned the house down more than once trying to bake them while under the influence, so i’ve had those privileges taken away, but i that’s why i have so many beautiful roommates. to help me make mozzarella sticks. 

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? do i even have a choice?

truth or dare? i’ll do a truth.

what does the last text that you sent say? my last text… was to phoebe, and it’s me asking her what color uniform we were supposed to wear tonight. and since we live together, and work together, and have all the same friends, if you scroll through our text log, it’s literally just me asking her over and over what color uniform we’re supposed to have on. i messed it up once our first month here, and i learned my lesson. never as an adult have i felt more like i was pulled into the principal’s office…

[trueaffections]

★ word on the street with HAYDEN SCHIPPER ★

first up, roll call: your position at eden and how long have you done it? hi, my name is hayden schipper and i’m a bottle girl at club eden. i’ve worked here for, like, three years, but i took a little sabbatical in the middle. i moved to palm beach with this guy, it was a whole thing.

what’s your drink of choice to make for yourself or others? i like to order tequila slammers, because it’s super fun to say and it tastes like sprite. i really like sangria too, i think that's my favorite to make. you just pour it all in a pitcher. it’s annoying to cut up all the fruit, but sometimes i cheat and just use the frozen stuff. 

we’re passing you the aux. what’s your number one club classic? me against the music. cuntyyy. i mean, love britney, obviously. free britney. but the first time i saw the music video, i thought it was really power that britney would do that one specifically with her mother. i know who madonna is now, obviously, but i still think it’s really sweet. 

what’s your most iconic night out memory? i woke up on a boat once. i love boats, typically have no problem with boats, i just hadn’t realized i got on one the night before. they were apparently staying in bimini. i had to call bruna and tell her i was going to be late cuz i had to wait for us to dock, and then for the next ferry to come and get me. those guys took some really sick pictures of me before i had to leave though, it kind of all worked out.

what’s your craziest rideshare story? i once had an uber driver tell me she could sense something very powerful had attached itself to my aura. i mean it. and i had no idea what she was talking about. at the time? i was shaking. i couldn't believe it. i think that was, like, my spiritual awakening. and the really crazy part is she was literally right.

what’s your typical fast food order after the clubs close? arby’s, bitch. they have the meats. i actually just get curly fries though. big one. and a jamocha shake. and then i lie to my trainer about it. he usually figures me out, but it’s kinda hot when he scolds me about it, so i don’t mind.

you ready to kick this interview up a notch? duh.

truth or dare? let’s do truth. shed some light.

do you kiss and tell, and if so, care to tell us about a recent kiss? i think kissing and telling is so important. it can be really helpful, i think. it’s like reading reviews before you buy a new lipstick. i kissed dallas once on someone’s recommendation, and you know what? it was worth it. it was a nice kiss.
