WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
Even though your feet hurt, you love those Kate Spade turquoise strappy sandals and daggone-it you are wearing them. It is only a 2 block walk from the hotel - suck it up. Skinny jeans, and diaphanous v-neck ivory sweater, with white tank underneath. Leave something to the imagination for once.
*If you were a boy you would have worn a faux-hawk hairdo. You just couldn't even focus on anything else - EVERY guy had their hair like that - it was bananas! Although there was one guy who looked like he was flown in directly from Finland, and was hyper blonde and wearing awful white loafers. They must not have that Memorial Day/Labor Day white shoe rule in Finland... He and his equally blonde girlfriend were also sitting on one side of their booth and mauling each other, leaving an empty spot across from them. That is just weird. Finland.
GrettaRating*: LIKE-Liked it!
REASONS FOR THE LIKE-Like:
You cannot, in good conscience, LOVE or Want to Marry a place like this, but for what it was, it was great. It was like that really gorgeous-but-dim young boy you meet when you're out dancing, and since the music is so loud, it doesn't matter that you can't carry on a conversation with him. Shut up, he is a REALLY good dancer, and so pretty to look at...
So you LIKE-liked the Drinks - they had two slurpee machines with drinks in them. One was a frappucino-type drink, which you did not want. The other one was a Bellini, which you wanted. Four times. But you could only drink three. Remember how much you LOVED those cherry or lime 7-Eleven slurpees, and you'd get the giant big gulp cup, that you could later use as a hat, and you'd slurp away and give yourself brain freeze every 45 seconds? You did that with those Bellinis. And you're not 9 anymore. Although you think 9 is the official drinking age in Canada now, judging from the bar crowd.
You have nothing else to comment on, since you and Card just sat at the bar, drinking Bellinis, until you decided it was time to limp to 7-Eleven - no, not for slurpees, are you crazy? - and get Advil for the next morning. You also got StarScroll horoscopes. April is a VERY big month for you.
WHAT WOULD HAVE MADE ME WANT TO MARRY IT?
So many things - fully-dressed waitresses, a bartender over the age of 15, no more televisions above the bar - you cannot watch another hockey game. But really, for what it was, it was fun.
