Party and Bullshit
Photos of recent shenanigans. Ages ago, I hosted a “Sinner’s Dinner” at my place. Last weekend, we rotated the party to Abiola’s apartment. The lovely gathering of friends resembled the North American Free Trade Agreement: 1 Mexican, 1 Canadian and an overrepresentation of American interests (5 of us) ;) Of the brown girls in the first row, we’re Guyanese, Jewish, Texan, Midwestern and from the East Coast. I’m soooo looking forward to welcoming “Sinner’s Dinner” back to my place again soon. Photo by the ever-sexy German Marin. Shout out to TGIF cocktails for providing fuel for the event. Cocktail review here: http://12seconds.tv/v/RWVGC. Thank you, TGIF.
On another night, Abiola and me hanging out at the African American Literary Awards Show honoring Dr. Cornell West, Terrie Williams, Hill Harper and Sonia Sanchez. (Photo by Nichelle Stephens.)
My friend John is an actor in New York, and I love film. So, last night, we went to the “IFP & Shooting People Holiday Happy Hour.” Although my hair looks a bit messy, I actually really really LIKE this photo of us. Plus, I love how full my chest looks. On Flickr, I actually titled the picture “My Boobs Look Huge In This Dress.” :)
Funky Brown Chick readers are witty, clever, fun and interesting! Feel free to use your creativity to caption the photo above. If you’re new around here, my only comment policy is “Be Kind” (to me, the your fellow comment leavers, etc., etc.) So, if you want to post something shitty about me — or my charming & amazing friend John — please don’t waste your time.
(I’ve got a few pictures uploaded to Flickr. More coming soon.)
Shout out and extra special thanks to everyone at Cafe 50 West for being so kind to our crazy group.
Ah, there’s nothing quite like watching a drunken dude in lederhosen sing Elvis tunes in German. After the 52nd Annual German-American Steuben Parade, I spent Saturday morning w/ Sherri and Kathrin in Central Park for Oktoberfest. Once finished, NYCITYMAMA joined us for dinner and dancing. If you live in New York and you like German culture, food, men or whatever, be sure to check out http://www.germanyinnyc.org/. Shout out and THANK YOU to Kathrin for photos from the day’s events.
Sorry for the post-free days. It’s been a shitty week. I went to Joe’s farewell party (leaving his job, not the city) last night to cheer myself up and wish the old man well. Glad I attended because being around the group totally lifted my spirits and I had a blast!! (Lynne, you better be there next time!!) It was absolutely wonderful to catch up with @missmith11, @feezy9, @jenniferrichman, @MikeHoffman, @the_interocitor, @tschweitzer, @DouglasPaul, @RodKurtz, @NorfLondonNY, Angumeister and a bunch of other people. Hmmm … Apparently, if you don’t drink for a long time and then drink a shitload of Amstel Lights and several shots of chilled Patron within a few hours, you pass out on the subway at 2:21 a.m., miss your stop, run south 29 blocks to get home, stumble into the shower with your clothes on, leave your wet sneakers in the bath and wake up the next morning with a dead vibrator on your kitchen counter.
[Whistles innocently while looking up at the ceiling.]
I think I’ll take it easy tonight.
