Alright, pull up a chair - grab a cup of hot tea
(fine, cold tea for you southerners) coffee, or cocoa. Sit back, and relax.... here is the rest of the story.
When we had left off my friend and I had secured a VIP pass into Studio 54 for the evening, and had decided to return to Coyote Ugly first knowing that they would have the same drink specials. We figured drink cheap there
($2 draft beer) and then head over to the club. We were at the end of our trip and our money after all. With this plan in mind we went back to the hotel to change our clothes, and find a place to eat too.
(Seriously, why do people have to eat? It is such an inconvenience and I don't much enjoy it. If only there were a magic food pill).

Alright - dig the boots back out
(but hellll no on the black ones, the flat brown ones would have to do tonight, our fifth night of painful feet) find the other pair of thigh socks I brought with me, a skirt I actually wore on the flight there
(it is the end of the trip, last night, I am running out of clothes!) and the shirt I had on already. We were now set.
After eating - this I remember was at a Mexican restaurant in Planet Hollywood
(which was good but NOT great) we headed over to C.U. for drinks.
Now here is the fun thing about BFD... she is social - really really social. I don't care if you look half ape-ish or you are the best looking guy in the place, you can be a two ton tilly
(as my grandpa used to call girls) or the a Kate Moss waif-like model I will talk to you. Not only will I talk to you, but I will butter up and probably flirt a bit while I am at it. It is me. That is what I do.

Sooooo we are making our way around the place trying to make it to the bar where drinks could be found
(four c.u. girls, three bars, only one batender- priorities people! dancing....obviously more important ;) A whiskey/7 later and things were looking up
(sorry, I drink beer or whiskey. It is what I learned to drink from my c-boy boyfriend when I was 18) After my friend got her first
($10) margarita down all was well. The drink specials finally started and surprisingly we lost track of time. Everyone became a best friend. It was a party. We never left.... yep, that is right - we never made it to Studio 54. In fact I completely forgot about our plans. Why leave a good party to go into the unknow?
One drink leads to another, all of a sudden my glass is never empty although I am not buying anymore. At some point a whole beer spilled down my front..... well now
(wasn't going for the wet t contest) it was a party and we were in the middle of it. My name was lost and I was being called by my home state instead
(ooooohhhhkkkkayyyy??) and then - then a c.u. girl took a liking to me
(and my friend) I guess because she decided that we were the ones who needed to be on the bar -
all the time. Every time I got down she would pull me/us back up.
Now, in a room of 20 somethings this was incredibly flattering. It didn't hurt that I had drank enough that my worries of dancing like a mama had disappeared and I was having fun---> until.....

My skirt ripped.
Here is a pic of when it started ripping
the camera caught the evidence...
oh my oh my!
Shortly after this pic was taken
- luckilyafter I had gotten off the bar-
that little skirt ripped all the way
to the waist band!
Yep- right in half!!!
Thank goodness my friend had pinned the straps of her dress and I was able to steal those pins.
Not sober enough to have the sense to leave, the party continued ripped skirt and all. We made it back to the hotel around 2ish and zonked. I don't even know that pajamas were found that night, my face went unwashed and some time in the night/morn I got up and took my contacts out. I have a picture of myself in the morning and let me tell you - if you put me on the spin cycle I would probably look better than I did that morn'.
All in all my trip was fabulous. A whirlwind of a trip. Exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time. But, Vegas is like an adult Disney World - you could never see or do it all in one trip, and there is always a reason to return. But, next time, if there is one.... I think I am going to plan on parking my butt on a beach in Florida or California, or Mexico, or Cozumel.... yeah something not quite as exhausting :)
There will be more pics from the C.U. bar tonight for HNT -
me on the bar,
the end result of the skirt
things worth coming back for
(I hope).
