MGF Vegas Vacation: Five Funny Things from Orchid and Lily

Viva Las Vegas! Orchid and I made it back in one piece from Sin City and we even let Lenny survive lunch and shopping with the two of us (and at a mall that was sans ANYTHING guy related outside of clothes). And we will admit it…we had a BLAST!

But because we had a blast…we’re still a bit tired. We won’t lie! We did prepare for a week’s worth of blog on Orchid’s first impression of Vegas and my first real nightclub experience. And we will still do it. But allow us to tease you all with some one liners that were heard over the weekend. Sure it’s a cop out. But let us get a night’s sleep okay?

FROM THE MOUTH OF LILY:

1. “Wow. I wasn’t as drunk as I thought.” – Told to Orchid as she discovered our rental car veered to the left. Was said with a little disappointment.

2. “Well…we do have more cajones than most women we know.” – In response to Orchid’s #1. Backs-up Lily’s claim that all MGF’s carry their cajones in their purses so they can pull them out when necessary.

3. “Just because they MAKE it in your size doesn’t mean you should wear it!” – In line waiting to get into Tao Nightclub at The Venetian. Proved just how catty women can be about clothing.

4. “Did we REALLY stay out until 2:30am last night?” - Said collapsing into IHOP booth later on in the morning (c. 10:30am). Dawning realization that she had broken her “Mild Child” mold – at least for the night.

5. “Oh my gawd…I just realized it was MORE than four guys.” – Stopping mid-sip on morning coffee at the IHOP. Lily was mentally recounting her night at Tao and realized how much attention she and Orchid actually garnered walking in without dates. NOT REFERRING TO ANYTHING DIRTY…you pervs.

FROM THE MOUTH OF ELUSIVE ORCHID:

1. “You realize we’re the only unaccompanied women in this restaurant?” – After dining at the cavernous Delmonico Steakhouse for lunch, we followed it up with dinner at Michael Mina. Both of which had very masculine décor. Orchid uttered this gem as she looked around the room and realized that the two skirts in the room were surrounded by all suits. Refer to Lily’s #2 for response.

2. “You’re an asshole.” – Matter of fact statement made by Orchid as the jeans-clad, pinstripe jacketed, phone toting jerk that cut Lily off to get on the escalator. Comment was quickly followed up with an under-the-breath “…and you look gay,” remark by Lily.

3. “I’ve never seen so many drunk people in one place.” – Orchid decided to walk back to the Luxor Hotel from the Bellagio because she wanted to see the Strip at night. It was a trip to say the least! Never had she seen such a huge mass of drunk people (Of course, she admits to never having seen New Orleans in its heyday).

4. “Damn I love blackout curtains!” – Alright, so Orchid stayed out wayyyy late. How late? FJ ventured to ask in IM:

Orchid (5/8/2006 2:38:04 PM): Umm about 3 or 3:30 on Thursday
FJ (5/8/2006 2:38:19 PM): grrrrrr... let's move on then.

*laughing* Needless to say that was one of her earlier nights. With that in mind…must she have to say blackout curtains are lifesavers?!

5. “Lils! I’ve only been here for 45-minutes…” – Said on cell phone to Lily after checking into her hotel. Apparently, the world is very small. It took Orchid 45-minutes to run into someone from her hometown of Chicago. And an additional 10-minutes for him to ask for her phone number.
