I closed out my Vegas trip with a stay at the Oasis Manor. Shez Perez Hilton, Top Secret and their family were, as usual, very congenial. We spent a lovely evening just outside the pool house reminiscing about Top Secret’s “Back in the USA” party. “I’m so glad I got to know you outside of your pole dancing,” Shez Perez Hilton told me. “Yes, me too. I am more than just a pole dancer.” Being that I was hosting a “Welcome Back, Kotter” party for Dr. BJ, my stay was short and sweet.
The Welcome Back, Kotter party was a great success. I was in charge of pictures, so I was tooling around the house gathering candid and not so candid shots while, at the same time, overhearing very random comments and conversations. Tree was heading to the making room room, however, was so intrigued by the topic being discussed by Sleepless and OregganO that he held off going in until he shared his wisdom, “Junk juice does have protein.”
A little later Dr. BJ was struggling with the electric wine opener and Passed The Sniff Test stepped in to help. “Wow, look at him,” said Sleepless. “He puts his finger in and gets it (cork) out.” “He’s a keeper,” said Dr. BJ. “He opens my wine.”
Maintaining proper party procedure we pulled out the porta-party karaoke. Dr. BJ was on the mic when Carmas With A ‘K’ shouted, “Come on, you can do better than that.” Dr. BJ replied, “Hey, I’m dancin’, I’m entertainin’, I’ve got jazz hands. What more can I do?”
I was snapping pictures the ‘safe’ way with the band around my wrist so as not to drop it) according to Maverik Midget King when it somehow ended up in my drink. I quickly pulled it out, wiped it dry and attempted to take more pictures – to no avail. “Put it in rice,” shouted OregganO. “I do it all the time with phones and iPods and they work great – dries them out.”
Once OregganO made it home she sent me a text so I knew she was safe. “I’m home, thanks lady are.” “Are? OK, glad you are safe. If you feel like you need to dry out, put yourself in rice.” Her reply, “That should have said see as in are you tomorrow, climbing in rice as we speak. LOL.”
