cyn woke me up around noon so we could make our guinea pig brunch at de la coast. sherry's trying to roll out a brunch service and 50 of her closest friends served as subjects for the experiment. the weather was really nice so keeping in mind that the dlc team has never run a full restaurant service for this many people... keep on drinking the 'bloody sherrys' and wait for your food. it was a nice time. pics below.
lovely shot of the two girls. too bad my framing sucks.
a morning scowl and alix's back
after about 2 hours of brunching, cyn and i headed over to the idancing studio for our first pole-dancing class. i was expecting total cheese, but it was actually really fun. we started off with a good 20 minutes of jazz dance warm-ups and some simple choreography, then we moved on to the poles. there were only 4 poles in the room, so we were about 4 girls to a pole. cyn and i arrived barefoot, but everyone else wears ballroom shoes or their street heels. i've got some decent bruises from pole burn. (note to self... wear leggings or at least some nylons when spiraling down metal poles.) some of the girls we were a bit concerned about because they would just launch full-steam into the pole and kind of smack against it. the instructor is this russian woman named julia, and is absolutely perfect for the job. she kept shouting, 'poosh! poosh your beautiful ass up like this, yeah?' hirarious. we might go again, but i'm not sure i want to sign up for a membership.
after pole dancing we headed to hugo brasserie for the crocs launch party of their wedge heel shoe. hugo turned out to be a rather nice spot. mental note for a future dinner - their canapes were excellent and there was free flow champagne. can't argue with that. cyn and kate scored some free shoes and i scored a nice buzz from the bubbly. willie called midway through so we decided to meet up for dinner.
a very nice day. i'm still exhausted from friday.
got a message from cheryl wanting to add me to her facebook account. jody was also harassing me about this the other day. another fuggin networking site? i can barely keep up with myspace, and that's for like, 12-year olds. not to mention some old account on friendster which apparently people can view when they google me, and xing for business networking. jaysus. you need a personal assistant to keep up with all of the accounts. and what kind of photo do you put up on facebook. is there an etiquette when it comes to using different photos for the various online 'communities?' i'm over it. you have to fill in the same fields - interests, music, movies, whatever. one might find this redundant and rather tiresome...
