Bachelorette Parties: Gen X?

Two weekends ago I threw a bachelorette party for my friend, we'll call her "the bride", since she will be getting married in June and I am her Maid of Honor (although, there is some evidence to the contrary). As usual, I digress. Another member of the wedding party helped me plan the celebration and "the bride" was absolutely delighted with the resulting festivities.

We started out having dinner, cooked by me, at "the brides" place with party favor bags that I had created being handed out. They included cute little gifts for people to wear to easily identify everyone throughout the night; fake tattoos, mardi gras beads, flashing LED lights, dolphin necklaces, and snap bracelets. Every atrocious nauseatingly cute little adornment people could possibley wear and still look "hot"...LOL, as if I care since I have a boyfriend. Oh, how I amuse myself at other people's expense.

Our second stop was at the Hollywood Men. For those of my sweet and innocent audience who does not know about these things, since there was a time that women did not participate in having their very own Bachelor Parties, this was the titillating part of the evening. Hollywood Men touts itself as the only Male Burlesque Revue (that strip show) for women. And I must say, it's pretty cheeky. I laughed so hard I think I peed my pants. I mean, the guys know that they are teasing and being objectified, it's hysterical to see some of the women actually acting like, well, for lack of a better word, they're acting like men. They're making catcalls and screaming for lap dances, throwing money at the guys. It was a MADHOUSE!!!!

It was the third venue that I had the best time at, Spundae, which is a club that takes over Circus on Santa Monica Blvd. DJ Hyper was spinning that night and he wasn't all that and a bag of chips at the beginning, sort of playing trancy stuff that was hard to dance to and boring with no beat or rhythm to it. He started to get better as it got a bit later. You cannot blame it on the alcohol for me since I just had 2 beers at Arena where Hollywood Men was around 8:30 since as a designated driver I didn't want any alcohol in my system by midnight since I was unsure of what time we would be leaving. We did end up staying until 2am, at least 5 of us survived until then. I think I could've hung out until 4 if I weren't wearing girly heels. Let any man try pulling an entire 3 hours of dancing off in skinny heels and a strapless bra, especially when you're a D-cup, I dare you! I mean, HELLO, that is definitly a womanly skill that no man in my circle of friend could accomplish without a double X chromosomes.

Let's give a shout out to those wonderful manufacturers of strapless bras, because mine was not only pretty comfortable all evening long, but I certainly was jumping quite a bit and it kept the girls in the proper places. Very nice engineering Maidenform!!!! While I am on this topic, can I just mention that those see-through straps women are wearing can be seen so you scandalous ladies wearing them with your strapless tops and tanks, PLEASE get a strapless and get some class!!!!
