OMGGGG I can’t believe I haven’t gone out since Friday. I don’t know what to do with all this pent up dance fever. I almost tricked myself into going out with Matthew last night to the Bar, but I need some control.

This weekend I decided that I needed to stay in a bit more, save for taxes (seriously, I owe more to the IRS than I do to the BMW dealership). I also decided that I would stop eating junk food. Primarily cookies. Today I caved. One chocolate chip cook and two Oreos. Okay and two Girl Scout Cookies. Who can really resist those adorable little things? Not me!

I suspect by the weekend I will be going out again per usual and waking up to eat cookies for breakfast. Now if only I could magically make that IRS bill disappear, all my problems would be solved!

Teddy’s was a bore last night so we set sail to Yacht Club.  The Rosencrantz brothers rarely disappoint…. we danced forever and had our fill of champagne, what else could a girl ask for on a Friday night?

Alissa and I have decided not to go out tonight.  What will we do instead?!  I would be happy sitting here staring at my record collection (without a record player mind you) – there is no way I’m going to Bardot or H’wood.  The last few times I’ve been to either place have been traumatizing.  Why have a rope/door guy/blablabla if once inside it’s a bunch of gross people?  Pull it together and put out the trash.  

Perhaps we could go to the Burgundy room.. it was strangely fun there a few weeks ago.  Wait!  We’re not going out!!!

Okay, going to yoga/detox/acai smoothie heaven.  Then we will probably go out.

No pants, thank you

My image of what California girls were with their big blonde hair, gleaming smiles and volleyball playing bodies clad in low-rise bikinis made from fabrics like crocheted yarn and faux fur with lots of padding everywhere, has been replaced with American Apparel-esque, fashion-less Lycra mini everything with cheapy slouchy boots and knock off stiletto strappy sandals without and an ounce of glamour.  Shame on LA girls.  

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a girl without her pants.  There is just a proper way to pull off looking like a tramp without looking like a tramp.  Unfortunately the masters at this are too far and few between so we end up with a bunch of photocopies of photocopies of collages of pieces that someone saw on someone that they thought looked good, but then upon their attempt to translate it at home it just came out all wrong.  It’s like how a real nurse is kind of sexy.  But sexy nurse on Halloween just hurts.

Good morning!

Going out in LA is sooo boring.

Posted in Los Angeles, Party by kristencoates on March 5, 2009

When did going out get so weird?  I went to Teddy’s on Friday and danced my face off with Alissa… there really wasn’t much else to do.  Saturday my boyfriend came in from NY and we went to Bardot and Hwood and were bored to death… Not that we were boring (we have fun talking about luggage and peanut butter), but the most non-fun people ever were out… not doing anything.  again.  We either had more fun at the Bar on Monday – which by the way it is incredible that that place is what stands out during my stint of “partying” (only because after 4 years you would think it would be dull) or at Yamashiro last night drinking champagne alone.  What gives LA?  Someone have a pool party already.
