What a freakin weekend.
So, as you know I had the photoshoot for the Floral magazine. Two old hags, One beaten down photographer, 1 perky designer and a shitload of flowers later and guess what? I made it!!!!! Finally.
They gave me over 1k wholesale cost of flowers and said create. I had to do flowers for a wedding, funeral and then something "themed" I used for my wedding a rose called "Black Magic Roses" which are so dark red they are almost black (one of the prettiest roses out there) So I did a whole gothic wedding using blacks and Hot pinks. It turned out absolutely gorgeous. I cant post pics yet until the magazine picks which ones they will be using then I get the leftovers so as soon as that happens I will post them. The funeral I did I used all tropical flowers like Ginger, Anthiriums, Birds of Paradise, Proteas, Dendrobium-Cymbidium and Paleanopsis orchids and lots of tropical greenery. It turned out really stunning as well. For the theme set I covered part of the room with spanish moss and cherry tree brances made sort of a southern Steele Magnolias feel very woodsy and very earthy. I used peonies and magnolias and made a hammock out of them using chicken wire and ribbon then made a tree using a post already in the room and curly willow and sheet moss. I also made a "floor" using beargrass, lily grass, sheet moss and leftover flowers that looked like it was growing wild from the ground. I named my theme " Daydream " It all turned out really gorgeous. Im so glad they finally picked my stuff to show. After only 3 attempts. Im curious to see how soon I get paid for this also. They gave me a sheet that I have to fill out about myself kinda like the profile questions here but alittle less sexy and more personal. I also Have to meet with them again and get my picture taken for the magazine so that should be interesting. But enough of that. Now for the fun stuff. After the shoot was done Ash and I decided to go out and do something to celebrate so we took in like the only local bar in walking distance to our motel. We walk in all happy and theres like 15 old men and when I say old I mean they look like they are 80. We are like hmmm no eye candy but we can at least celebrate so we sit at the bar order drinks and its like you can feel them staring at us. We decide to make the best of it and head to the jukebox where its like the music hasnt been updated in 20 years so we turn on some Elvis and proceed to drink our little hearts out. About 4 drinks and 15 songs later we are feeling good and notice theres a guy up on the stage setting up a table so we ask the bartender if theres a local band coming and the guy says No its Kareoke night. I'm looking around the bar and i'm thinking if any of these guys sing it would be a miracle much less if they make it up on stage without breaking a hip. So Ash and I are just tipsy enough to wanna do this so we wait for him to get set up and then we are gonna do it. He gets set up but noone is going up there. A few younger people have showed up,when I say younger they are like in thier late 40-60 group. Noone goes up. So finally I look at the poor guy hosting and he looks back at me with like these puppydog eyes so I grab Ash's hand and drag her to the stage the first song we pick is Love Shack by the B52's. That went over like a ton of bricks. We sucked and were off key but we laughed the entire time and danced our own little happy jig to the music. Making ass's out of ourselves for sure but who cares. We werent quite drunk enough to make it fun yet so we sit down and watch the 40-60 somethings sing different stuff just as bad and not caring either. So 2 drinks later I drag Ash up again and we pick out Dancing Queen by Abba. Oh my god. It was sooooooooooooo much fun. We danced and missed words and sang at the top of our little black lungs. Youuuuuuuuu can danceeeeeeeeeeee Having the time of our livessssssssss. Oh it was bad but we loved it. We danced like disco queens without a care. We ended up closing the bar sometime around 2 am. We made it back to the motel and crashed on the bed. About 9 am we are awoken by this horrible horrible japanese woman singing some old song of hers in the shower. Yes the walls were that thin. We are like you have got to be kidding me. She was so loud. My head was pounding, Ash was ready to throw up and we have some crazy lady in the room next to us singing Barbara Streisand in her native tongue. Ugh. I guess she was paying us back unknowingly for our little Abba escapade the night before. It sucked so bad nothing we could do would drown her out so finally after hearing her for at a good hour we decide to get showered and go home where we could get some sleep. No fucking hot water. Im serious no hot water at all. So we call the front desk and he tells us.. You gotta wait until the heater has time to refill cause everyones taken a shower at the same time. Im like wtf!!!! This is a motel cant more then 3 people take a shower in the morning at the same time? Hes like Maam just give it alittle time. ( I hate being called Maam for one and 2 ugh ugh ugh) So I'm like fuck it. I throw my hair into pig tails get dressed and go to the front office to pay. I told him I wasnt gonna pay full price cause theres no hot water and after arguing with me he took off $10.00 So I guess a shower costs 10 bucks these days. So we left and got home alittle over 2 hours later and I crashed on my bed and slept until 5pm. Then went and got the boy his Fathers Day dinner and we played the Pacman arcade game until 10 pm. I love that game and Im so good at it. Not saying much being that it is Pacman but I so rock that game it isnt funny. Anyways I hope all of you had a great weekend and for all those hot daddies out there happy late Fathers day!
No go out there and moon a old person.
