Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you even have a website? What's the point? Who am I? Nobody. So why all of this? Why a dot com? Someday I might become one of those driven people, someone on a mission with information to enlighten the masses. You never know, I might do something noteworthy and actually need this place. This site started out as a place to store photos online and evolved into a joke. I get a kick out of mocking larger websites, websites that have tons of stuff to promote. I have NOTHING to promote, yet... here I am, taking up space. I'm just a nurse with mediocre web skills who wanted a place of her own, so I built one.
What's the story behind TinaLu's Bitches? There were a couple things that went down about the same time that led up to the bitches. Without boring you or going into a lot of detail... A couple of years ago, an online friend asked a big favor of me stating that if I could come through for him that he would forever be my bitch. Then a couple weeks later at a concert, a bunch of my friends were standing around backstage. Security noticed that they weren't wearing any passes and asked who they were to which one friend replied, "TinaLu's bitches." Since then, the joke has snowballed among friends and taken on a life of it's own.
Where did the name "TinaLu" come from? It's just a screen name. My entire life, people have always felt the urge to alter my name in some way, or give me a new nickname all together. Is TINA too short? Too plain? WHAT? I've been Tina Marie, Tina Louise, Lou, and Barbie (Barbie is another story entirely - Hi Sandy!) There's a man named Lou from my locale who used to sing, and had his own T.V. show in the wee hours of the morning, who's last name happened to be the same as my last name, hence the "Lou." I had a fellow cheerleader in college (Hi, Becca!) who at first called me "Tina Louise" which soon became "Tina Lou." People who don't even know me very well have called me "Tina Louise." Again... not my name. That name seems to be embedded into everyone's subconscience. (Ever watch the re-runs of Gilligan's Island? Check out the credits, Ginger's name was Tina Louise.) Anyway, upon trying to come up with an email addy during college, every possible version of Tina and/or Tina Lou was taken except for TinaLu. It stuck. Years later, I'm still Lu.
Do you have any nudies? No. I don't have any nudies. Don't email me asking for them. Don't show up at the message board looking for them. There isn't a hidden, members only section of this site. There are no nudies, NOR will there ever be. Move along people... nothing to see here.
Are you a groupie? I have to say that THIS question pisses me off more than any other. No. No. And, no. Look at it like this... Most guys are into sports. Of those that are... If they could go to every pro football/basketball game they could get to and get their photo taken with their favorite athletes... they'd be elated, right? Probably even grab a beer afterwards to celebrate? Music is my sport. I go to shows, listen to the music I love, and get photos taken with band members. I may have met more than the average person, but when you go to as many shows as I do you're GONNA end up making friends with security, managers, club owners, and band folk. It happens. I'm now friends with some of the people pictured on this site. Some of them I talked to the one time, got my photo, and haven't spoken to them since. How is it that every chick wearing a pass or that ends up backstage or on the bus is automatically a groupie? People can't have friends?
