Bachelorette party
*sigh* I'm not the least bit excited about the bachelorette party this weekend. First of all, I think that we are a bit too old for this one. It's for our future SIL and she is only 23. Which means that all of her friends are around 23. And they are the squealy sorority types. I have a feeling that after their first shot they are going to be on the floor.
We'll make the best of it. There are about 20 of us and we are going to Asia SF which is a trendy bar/restaraunt/drag place. They also have male strippers. Well, I mean real male strippers. Most of the staff at Asia SF are drag queens. At least Michelle and I won't be the only two gay people at the club. One thing about bachelorette parties is that they always go to trendy little clubs, usually meat markets, always straight. So the appeal to us, two middle aged married lesbians, is not huge. So this time we have to pay $75 each. This includes dinner, one shot and entry into the club and access to the show. (whatever the show is *shrug*) I keep complaining about the cost but Michelle said that it isn't really as out of line as I think it is. Then, the maid of honor, two days ago, has told us what to wear. A cute black top and nice jeans. Now what pisses me off about this is that I don't like to be told what to wear. So since she has dictated what we should wear, it makes me want to wear a green shirt and crappy jeans. Unfortunately, I had already decided last week what I wanted to wear. And it was a cute black top and nice jeans. So now I am going to look like a conformist. And that really pisses me off. But I think the outfit that I chose to wear is perfect because it is super comfy and I think I look pretty decent in it. Not at all dykey. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
So what do you have planned this weekend?

I'm with you. I would want to wear something else just because I don't dictated to, either.
I do have a couple of other shirts that I could wear. But I really wanted to wear this particular shirt because Michelle likes it on me and because I don't have to wear a bra with it and because it shows off my tan and because and because and because. *pout* I just hate that it is exactly the type of outfit that she wanted us to wear. I don't like the thought that this chick is going to think that I wore the outfit simply because she said so. My inner rebel is struggling with this.
Ugh. I too would find it irritating that she dictated what you should wear AND that it ends up being what you were going to wear anyway. Grrrr! I would seriously have to fight with myself not to say to her "Ya know, I didn't wear this because you told me to. I was going to wear it anyway." But that would only look contrary. *sigh* Have as much fun as you can!
My outlaws are coming. Nuff said.
Yuck. You might have more fun if you fly out here, put on your nicest black shirt and jeans and go to the party with me. :)
Don't tempt me!! I would probably wear pink just to BE contrary.
Did she specify "blue" jeans? 'cause you could wear white or tan jeans!
Well them come on girl, get your ass out here with your pink shirt. :)
She didn't specifiy the color of the jeans. I just read the request again and she wants black shirts because they will allow the colors of the boas to stand out. *rolls eyes* I am NOT wearing some fucking boa. I will totally draw the line at that.
I think that Me, Michelle, my other two SILs and our cousin in law will spend most of our time at the bar with each other. We all have the same attitude about this.
I say wear the damn shirt. And look like a bunch of twinkies at a drag bar. *snort*
My weekend - Rotten2's birthday is today. Rotten1 has baseball practice tonight and a game tomorrow morning. Then we're taking Rotten2 and a couple of friends to see Shrek the Third. At some point, I need to work in my new flower bed, clean the house and bathe the animals.
What is Michelle wearing?
Happy Birthday to the Rotten.
Michelle hasn't indicated what she is wearing yet. I know what jeans she will be wearing though. *swoon* She finally FINALLY bought a pair of women's jeans. They fit her perfectly and they are all hip and stuff. I told her that she needs to buy a lot of those jeans because they look wonderful on her. It's about time that she got out of the habit of buying men's jeans. She was always self concious about wearing form fitting jeans and now that she has lost so much weight, she is getting more daring with how tight her jeans are.
As for a shirt? I have no clue what shirt she is going to wear. I haven't quite gotten her into women's sexy shirts yet.
Will you please email me a picture of the jeans? With her in them, of course.
Maybe you'll have more fun that you're expecting. And a black top and jeans is pretty standard club wear. At least she didn't ask you to wear prairie skirts and magenta halter tops or something. :)
*glares at Glowie*
Jen, I think at this point I would happily wear a prairie skirt. Just to rebel. *grin*
Yay for Michelle!!!
Oooooo, I hope you get a lime green boa!!!
I'm so glad I'm too old for that stuff. I'm sure, after a few glasses of *cough*milk*cough* you'll have a grand ole time.
*cheers*
I plan on drinking massive amounts of "milk". *grin*
I'm going to wear a cute black top and nice jeans this weekend, too. However, I would NOT want to conform to the dress code.
There are dress codes for bachelorette parties? I am so clueless.
Half the people in the bar, party-goers and others, will be wearing black shirts with jeans so I don't think that is such a biggy.
And after a few drinks you may wind up wearing multiple boas all over your body. Boas are fun things. They make wacky headbands/headbows.
Forgot the weekend thing. We are going to see a show called Electropolis. It's like music and aerialists in body socks contorting on a massive, two-story trapeze for 6. Should be interesting.
I think it's strange that anyone would dictate what you should wear. I'd want to rebel, too.
You should wear a weird hat. She didn't say anything about hats, right?
My "bachelorette party" was at a racetrack on a lovely fall afternoon. I got a little sunburnt. Strange men kept buying me $2 race betting slips. None of them won, but I went home up $8 on the day from my own betting choices.
My family is out-of-town at a baton meet. I was thinking about crashing some bachelorette parties. ;-)
I might have a pool party at my house tomorrow - blog peeps only. Do you and Michelle wanna come???
You should wear tan capris and a earth-toned spaghetti strap top. Or a bikini. Your choice. No cut-offs, no neons or other bright colors please.
Anyone else wanna come? The hot tub is ready!
Oh! I've been meaning to ask you- how excited is Michelle for National Bingo Night?? *giggle*
I have a bachelorette party too. woohoo <--- did that sound exciting?
*snort* You don't have to tell anybody else you wanted to wear a cute black top and black jeans anyway.
I completely agree about not wanting to do this stuff. I have to really, really, really be in the right frame of mind going into it. I usually end up having an ok time for a few hours, but by midnight I've had my fill.
The cost is a bit much to expect of people. I'm still very boggled at the whole coordinating outfits thing.
You could just blow the whole thing off and go to church.
Yes, Kim, and I hear Bravie's church serves milk. Bonus!
All the good churches do. :-)
So I guess this is some odd offshoot of being a bride. You get to dictate the clothes your bridesmaids wear and then it just carries over into everything else.
I might wear the clothes if asked. I'd be annoyed to be told.
and yes, $75 is a lot of money
You know, it's bad enough that you are being forced to go to this thing, but you're being told what to wear? Um, is the bride in junior high school?
