Girlie Getaway

07.11.05

We packed six girls (Ami, Mary, Alissa, Julie, Alice, and me) and one dog (Lexus) into a rented Buick and headed upstate to my dad's house in Pine Plains, NY- land of cows, hunters, and beautiful rolling hills. The only rule was "no cool music allowed" so on the way over it was Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen" and Wham's "Everything She Wants" and during our stay my dad's "Dreamy Angels" (Enya, Vangelis) and "Bar Jazz Samba 1" CD mixes were programmed to repeat. By 11 pm on Saturday night, Mary pulled out her "Power Ballads" mix and all hell broke loose. Pair six sun-stroked drunk-ettes with Heart's "Alone," Merrilee Rush's "Angel Of The Morning," and Toto's "Africa," and you've got spilled wine, tears, and one girlish mess. It was H-E-A-V-E-N. And we've got 12 empty wine bottles to prove it!

Made a complete ass out of myself in the local supermarket while we were all hovered over a copy of celeb-trash mag Star. In my loudest, most obnoxious "I'm obviously from NYC" voice, I screamed, "Eeew, who the f*** would ever marry Ben Affleck. The guy's such a prep. And he STILL wears Docksiders!" only to turn around and find myself staring down at two sweet looking preppy boys, both wearing Docksiders. Ugh....

BASTILLE DAY is coming up my friends, so come celebrate with us at the third Le One Night Stand- now New York's official international pop party! Your DJs are Melody Nelson, Josh Styles & Peppermint Twist, Pablo & Miss Bondage (from Spain), and me.
