It Certainly Is...

DECADENT! Miss G arrived yesterday and headed straight to the casina to get her game on! She played Wizard of Oz slots until she was blearly eyed, and then headed over to the Pub to start the cocktail hour... at around 3pm!

After several beers served every so graciously by cutie bartender Jon, she headed over to the 700 Club, where she met Northwest Dan for the first time! He's a sweetie and we had a fun time drinking and carousing with the boys and the bears until Miss G hit the wall and had to stop! Honestly, she has no idea what time that was, but she suspects it was embarassingly early!

She knows she wasn't up too late, because this morning she was up and about around 9-ish, for more casino, and the free food and drink provided therein. (Not the food and bev bargain it would seem like, when one considers the total cost!)

After that, a snappy nap, and then out on Bourbon to meet up with friends from the Krewe. We headed upstair to Good Friends, and discovered naked papis dancing on the bar. At 3pm in broad daylight. Completely naked. They had to wear an armband so you had a place to put the dollar! DD, you shoulda been there, that's all I'm sayin!

Oh, BTW... I have to thank (or blame) Dan for introducing me to my newest vice... Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea. It's a vodka that tastes just like sweetened iced tea, and it is SO GOOD mixed with soda! Smooth and powerful!

So tonight there's a party over on Elysian Fields near the Phoenix. Guess Miss G will catch that and then see where the wind takes her!

A JazzFest Star Sighting???

Remember the picture Miss Ginger posted yesterday of the girl she and bubba had drinks with?

The whole time we chatted, it seemed so much like we had met before.

"Have you ever been to the 700 Club on Burgundy?", asked Miss G.

"Oh yes, I've been there!", says the girl.

"Back in November? I met a girl when I was here on a business trip."

"Oh, no, I wasn't here then. Didn't come down here until March."

Oh.

Do you know....? No. ???? No. ???? No.

Arrrgh! It was driving Miss G crazy!!! Not only did she look familiar, but there was something about the soft carriage of her voice, the smooth intonation, the precise yet unnaffected accuracy of her pronunciation. And her smooth, beautiful skin and her warm brown eyes. Even as we talked, we laughed because Miss Ginger kept getting deja vu, like we had met before. We ended the evening with the mystery unsolved.

Then, on the way to work this morning, it hit Miss G like a ton of bricks!

It was Emily VanCamp, who plays Rebecca Harper on ABC's "Brothers and Sisters". I don't know for sure, but I think the resemblance is uncanny if it's not her!

So, GingerSnaps, whaddya think? Obviously, she didn't have on makeup, and her hair was pulled back, and probably back to her natural brown for the off season. Look at the brows. And the eyes. And the smile. I swear I think it was her!
