Victoria and Earl's Wedding Blog - "My Bachelorette Night!"

My Bachelorette Night

Although I had two bachelorette parties, one with the Bears - my fave group of guys of which I'm one *teehee* - and one with my true blue girls, I'll blog about the bachelorette night with my girls.

One Friday after work, my matron of honor, Maxine, one of my wedding coordinators, Isis, and one of my bridesmaids, Robin, bum rushed me at my job and picked me up to begin the festivities on a rainy night in New York City. Before leaving, they bestowed upon me a silver tiara, a black feather boa and a custom made pink tee shirt that proclaimed "Queen Victoria" across the front. After they presented me with my Good Girl / Bad Girl wand, we were off!

Knowing that I've never responded well to strippers or anything of that kind (not that I'm a prude - it just seems a little pointless to me) they planned the perfect night of mental debauchery. They took me to a location called Second on Second where we imbibed the finest liquors, ate the most fattening fried foods and partook in the fun of Karaoke together with some close friends that joined us, despite the fact that sugar melts in the rain. We sang everything from Madonna's Material Girl to the B-52's Love Shack! We let it all hang out and laughed out loud and screamed at the top of our lungs. The going away party that was being held behind us decided to join us in our fun and we sang songs together and acted a fool!

Just when I thought that we couldn't possibly have any more fun I was whisked away into one of the cars and taken to the downstairs lounge of Tribeca Cinemas where the Freedom Party NYC was in full swing. No... not a political rally - but the BEST party in NYC for the 30 something crowd who fancies the music of their youth. They barely play ANY current music - they feature music produced pre 1999 :) We met more of our friends in the VIP area where they had been warming it up in anticipation of my arrival and we roger rabbit-ed, running-manned and wopped the night away with several new friends we met at the Cinema. Hours went by and I danced and laughed until I thought I needed to lay down and catch my breath.

At that point, I was lovingly delivered home with great memories the way I'd always hoped for - one last hurrah with my all my closest friends filled with song, laughter, and dancing in which we could all participate!
