CONTEST: Finalist for Vegas Nights travel stories – Mistaken Identity

BY JO ANN SWAFFORD OF Sautee Nacoochee

My identical twin and I went to Vegas with our other sister and her daughter in January 2007.

We checked into New York New York, and even though it was around 1a.m., we were pumped ’cause, hey, it’s Vegas, baby!

My twin and I went to the lobby/casino ahead of the other two. As we stood there, surveying where to go first, a well-heeled man approached us and asked if we were twins. We get that all the time—even now as grown women—so no big deal and we answer our typical, “Yes, since we were born!”

He comes back with, “Well do I get both of you?” We look at each other, and then back at him, with a mixture of “What did he just say?” and “Did he just say that?”

He doesn’t miss a beat, and says, “Well, y’all do turn tricks don’t you? Isn’t that why your standing here?” We both say, “NO!” simultaneously. He vanishes in about a nanosecond.

I should add here that we both were wearing jeans and sweaters. Is that what the “styling” working girls wear in Vegas? I doubt it.
