So where are the many reports on the Las Vegas long weekend? The fun started five days ago. There was no live-blogging. There are few details so far. We are waiting.
Spotted and Buffy have written short reports. And now Cartouche has teased us with a preview, but where are the details? Where are the small secrets that can be spilled? I suspect these OS LV revelers are hiding something!
No schadenfraude here. I'm not jealousing a bit. I mean, so far reading the teases of squeeeing...!!! and laughing and talking and flirting, and seeing photos of bright, funny, lovely Osers cavorting in various states of undress and comraderie makes my heart soar. And I've enjoyed the reports so far as much as if I were there myself.
OK, that's not true. Like thousands on this site, I'll presume, I would have loved to have braved the heat and joined the hawt and dirty dozen this past weekend. So I need to know more. And I admit that I did think about going.
But then, I thought again. For starters, I needed a pedicure. (And there seemed to be lots of foot play and feet photos in the Las Vegas photos we did see.)
And I needed a waxing.
And I could have made do, but I think I needed a new bathing suit.
And the costs, well ...
But I had fun this weekend, too. At home. A staycation. I listened to music, and it may not have been the latest, but it's my music. The stuff I grew up with.
And I felt the rush of high-stakes gambling, too.
And who needs Vegas fine dining or endless buffets? I eat and drink pretty well, if I do say so myself.
And I spent the weekend at home with familiar faces, even if they're not as good-looking, smart and nice as OSers.
She's from New Jersey. She's scary. And so are these two:
I even spent some time again Tivoing Joan and her dear friend and un-husband ...
Dick? Dick?
I'll think of his last name. Has to do with the military. Sounds like "smarmy."
Yes, these above folks were only on TV, and yes, meeting people was the point of the OS reunion, so it was much, much better than my weekend. Never mind, I guess. Right now I'll just await some more first-hand reports from Vegas and book a waxing for the next reunion.
But hey there lucky reunion-goers, we are waiting! No more teases!

i've been jealousing like crazy. not only was i too fat to go -- will post photos tonight of my current Fatitude -- but i have no money and i have this tiny problem with Leaving the House. so this post made me very very happy. the least they could do is report in, imho. anyway, love lvoe love and gratitude for you but not for them, she says bitterly, because the AC unit hasn't arrived yet.
Funny stuff Lea
I did enjoy your pictorial of your weekend. I may have a few nightmares after seeing the pre-waxing & Ann Coulter, but with Universal Health Care on the way (maybe before we hear about OS Vegas) I will survive.
- rated for your creative humor
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Vow of silence, maybe.
Those are some scary pics you got there. Well, except for our dear Joan.
I'd love to rent a big house or a couple of houses in a nice area and do a four or five day "retreat" full of great food and wine, fun activities and some writing stuff. Somewhere in a nice climate (no triple digit temps), the ocean, and well, that's more my cup of tea. October is a nice time of year, no kids/families, weather is usually pretty damn good (as long as it's not in tornado country) and often rates for properties like this are not too crazy.
And Lea, this post was, in it's way, a masterpiece. I'll not soon forget that hirsute candidate for a nair bath! That was a scary photo, surely that woman (?) is in need of agent orange! The rest of the pictures were great too, and I confess to quaffing 2 buck chuck too (desperate times require desperate wines), we all have to do our part in this economy!
That Jersey "woman" is one scary bitch. If I came out of the ladies and found her in the corridor blocking my way I think I'd become incontinent. She scares me.
Now, where are the rest of the posts about Vegas?

But we're still waiting...

You were the missing piece - the catalyst for all the fun!
The linchpin for debauchery - the kind you have to say four rosaries for.
How did you not go?

your music,Bingo,and eating,must have given your
Platinum Mastercard a blast.:)
You didn't go because you...
Oh, you should have said something. I do that on the side.
And yes, I noted the foot thing.
BTW, are you related to Con Chapman?
I didn't even know about this gathering. I guess my "staycation" kept me out of the loop.
If I went, I'd definitely cause some trouble. Rebel, they call me. Rebel.
But I too want to see more of the details. I mean, these people are WRITERS for cryin' out loud!!! Where's the WRITING????? Where are the PHOTOS?????
@dynomyte: Ablonde was kidding, I checked with her this morning.
I'm surprised at myself for even following this. In a few moments I am leaving; going up to Hoover Dam with some of my meatspace friends. Today is my birthday and I think I'll smoke a cigar. What the hell. A nice Dominican. And I'll take some more pictures with my little $99 Sony Cybershot and see what I can preserve for later. I wish I'd taken some shots of the famous conventioneers, but there were enough pics taken of them. I won't have time to post for at least a week or so. Enjoy the day. ttyl
I am back in Boulder now after a long drive yesterday, arriving late last night. Going up to Rocky Grass bluegrass fest, leaving early this afternoon so no time to post ... http://www.bluegrass.com/rockygrass/... and staying on here at least until MaryK's party.
cheers, love, b
mary, which photo was the hardest to take --hairy women or Ann Coulter? Have a great party. Wish I could come!
Lauren, thanks for coming by. I assume you will be at Mary's party too. I would love to meet you western folks some time soon!
Chanelspotted mind did some and so did buffy but the rest are just asshats in my humble opinion. i love your photo essay.
