Staff Spotlight- Host Manager Traci Lectar

This week Legion of Rock is proud to give the staff spotlight on Host Manager Traci Lectar. I sat down with Traci this week and talked to her about what it's like to be a host manager and what makes her SL relationship stay so strong.

Traci began in SL a little over a year ago, but Legion of Rock is her first hosting job. She is partnered to Mac who you can also find at The Legion of Rock Club. She says they are very supportive of eachother and often bounce ideas off of one another. Mac has been working in clubs doing every job there is. She says that he is an amazing partner,and the best part is that they are best friends and are always honest with eachother. Traci says that's what keeps them strong.

When it comes to being a host she says she loves it because being a host is like a party with benefits. She sees and feels the family atmosphere in the staff at Legion of Rock Club and even sees the VIPs as part of the family.

When it comes to being a manager, Traci says she tries not to think about the 'boss' part of it because that's not how she sees herself. The friendships and staff relations going on at Legion of Rock are far from the cookie cutter 'business' atmosphere. Cleo and Outlaw have truly picked a staff that is bringing in more of  a family atmosphere. Hosting at the club allows Traci to "be around great people who I have come to care about."

When it comes to unruly VIPs though, Traci is ready for them. She tries to treat them with as much kindness as possible and with respect, but she says she has never really had a true problem with a VIP before.

The funniest thing Traci has ever encountered while hosting and working at Legion of Rock involved a dildo wacker! Traci has a dildo wacker to smack people with, one day while she had hers pulled out- a VIP found what she thought was one in her inventory. When it rezzed the VIP ended up using an actual SL dildo in the middle of the dance floor. Traci says the VIP couldn't teleport out fast enough. After the initial embarrassment, Traci talked with her about what happened reassuring her that things like that happen, and it's not a big deal. The VIP still comes to the club, and they look back on that moment and laugh often about it.

Traci has a true talent with VIPs that Cleo spotted and has enabled Traci to shine in her role as Host Manager. Traci loves her job and sees it the way many people in SL don't see it- as fun and not just a job. She shows us that the key to having a great job and never getting bored with it is to make sure you enjoy the job you do! She also reminds us that working in a club doesn't have to be a straight 'business' type thing. You can make the staff and atmosphere a close family atmosphere, and it will not only keep the staff loving their jobs, but also makes it a great place for VIPs. Traci says she is honored to be a part of the Legion of Rock and the family that they have ALL become!
