Tragic
I know most of you probably don't know her but if there is a slight chance you'd like to help I'm sure she and Drew would appreciate it. I met Chrystal and her not then but now husband Drew, when we were both 18, she was featuring at a club I bartended at. Since it was a small town bar we got to know each other really well. She is one of the sweetest women I've ever met and sooo down to earth. When I heard this I had to call Kloey (This happened some time ago) who was too upset to talk. She had the world in front of her and in many ways we are alike. Chrystal is a fun-loving crazy girlie who knew how to entertain with still being herself. She's one in a handful of in this industry that is completely real, down to earth, best friend or worst nightmare. One in a million. And a Saint. The last time I saw her, Leslie LaRoux, Lolly Topps, I, and Chrystal were all working at silk on a down-time when bookings weren't that great (Christmas/New Years). I don't know what else to say. Melissa Wolf sums it up best by her email below, but that was written some time ago. She was denied for the surgery because of her condition being so bad. But like many entertainers/artists/self-contracters she doesn't have any insurance. It's a lesson I learned and took a policy out for myself,,but who would think someone my age would need it. I didn't until this happened. This year has been very sad seeing so many tragedies and so many destructive people. All I know is I'll give Chrystal any help I can and will always be by my side, she does have a special spot in my heart. Imagine if this was your sister, you, your high school crush. She's the same age as me, 22. I hope she recovers, and soon because I don't want to see her down when she's like sunshine wherever she goes. I love her to death, please help if you can. Thanks!...

Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting Crystal Waters my heart almost stopped when I got the call this morning from Jack Pepper. Crystal was about to start a booking and decided to go for a boat ride, unaware to her, she dived into shallow waters of only 3 ft - head first. She snapped her neck crushing her 6th vertebra, she is only able to move her baby pinky and she was only able to utter "call my dad". She is schedule for surgery some time today (June 30) and is also scheduled for another to follow in the next couple of weeks. The prognosis doesn’t look good, in fact they think she will never walk again and that her story will be similar to Christopher Reeves.
Galardi South Enterprises will be holding a charity Fund raiser in her honor, at the Pink Pony the week of July 25-30th and us girls will be coming in from all over the country to come in and donate a show or two, where the club will put the money in as a donation rather than pay us. We would love it if you could come down to the Pink Pony and show your support on those days. For you fans out there that can’t make it we will be filming a DVD of the shows that you were unable to see and giving one away for every donation made of $75 or more, for all you dancers that already have booking on those dates, a donation of one show would be appreciated.
This is a tragic even that has happened to a very sweet young 22 year old girl, I hope I have your support and your prayers.
