Can you go to any further extremes than we did this weekend? Let me explain. On Friday night we were guests at the Black Tie Event at the Detroit Auto Show. Wined and dined on the 70Th floor of the Marriott, piano player and all. Then, cocktails in hand, we were escorted to a heated shuttle and delivered to Cobo for the big event. Another reception awaited us that included all the goodies AND complimentary foot massages for us dip shits who insist on crazy heels. Then the show itself with, yes, more champagne and lovely 'auto show models' looking gorgeous and bored. (made me think of our darling, Michelle, (Michelle's Spell) when back in the day she, too was the eye candy!) Anyways, the vehicles only moderately interest me with the fashion being waayyyy more exciting. And it did not disappoint. Detroit peeps can turn the shit out when it comes to seein' and bein' seen. And the madness continued back on the 70th. floor for desserts, the piano man, and, yup, more booze..
After recovering with coffee on Saturday morning and NOT seein' my face in the fashion 'don'ts' pages of the morning papers, I had to get it together for a 4:00 departure time back downtown for the 40Th birthday party of Detroit's own, Kid Rock. Thankfully most of the hard stuff, (massage, eyebrows threaded, haircolored, pedicure, etc.) survived from yesterdays prep. I told my Mom, when she called mid facial, that it now takes me twice as long to look half as good. She did not disagree..
Kid Rock did not dissappoint as he trotted out many of his besties to add to the entertainment. Lucky enough to have scored a suite--our view was great. Even if you don't appreciate his music, the spectacle was unmatched. Again the people watchin' was supreme. I love the energy and was treated to a steady contact high in addition to the vodka drinks! Whoo hoo, that's alot for this old chick...
As you can guess, today I'm movin' kinda slow at the junction. Newspapers, naps, crummy t.v. and Chinese takeout being on the agenda today. Oh yea, and maybe some internet shoppin'. Anyone know where I can find a lighted fur coat and hat?

You know, that sounds like a lot of fun.
You know that sounds like a pain in the ass. Especially the twice as hard to look half as good thing.
Waddya mean by that? You and Shorty are both still eye candy to me. Especially when you're all laid back in jeans and just regular old shirts. Do either of you even own a pair of shoes with no heels?
Geeze the thing a girl has to go through to get some free booze.
I agree with WM about you & Michelle :) You look great Anyway!
Ps. Yes that little girl on my blog is my new niece ( brother's daughter)

Sounds like double trouble jamming ~ and a twin blast of people watching and other joys ~ Lucky!
What? No leaky Cobo roof? It just doesn't seem right. As for vehicles, I need a used truck to pull my new boat. Seems I've upgraded.
Sounds like you had a blast. And anyone who grew up in Romeo is cool, waaay cooool.
