This past week I have been down with a really bad cold and ear infection. The kind of thing that makes you feel as if you are underwater all the time. I know I am doing the right things...drinking water, taking antibiotics, including the tried and true chicken soup..and things are improving. Resting is still one of those things I am not very good at so Saturday, when I had the chance to check out a new venue/club that we are considering for the October show as a VIP , no less( remember my "Let's put on a show" blog) I jumped at the chance. Now I know how to dress for clubbing...spiffy, shiny, tight, plunging, blingy but frankly, by 9:00 Saturday night I was only interested in looking average. After all, I was there on business...right? I should tell you that morning I found myself at work at 6:45 a.m. with two different shoes on my feet. Granted they were both black sandals but one was actually a beach shoe...oh my!!.. Since I was driving to the Hollywood location the girls met at my house. I thought I had cleaned up fairly well..a skirt, matching sweater, boots (matching) and jewelery (I had make up on too!!) Leela arrived first and set the tone for my evening when her comment about my wardrobe was "you look like lovely..kind of like June Cleaver if she were going clubbing!" OUCH....Now I realized I looked a tad matronly but I didn't think it was THAT bad...oh well, I was comfortable and warm. Of course the June Cleaver joke went on and on...the only thing I need to complete my outfit was a string of pearls and an organza apron. OK, OK I get it!!! Next time BLING !!
Upon arriving at the complex (yes this was at the Hollywood and Highland complex that houses the Kodak Theater....where the do the Academy Awards) we went to a fabulous Italian place for dinner...very yummy. Johnny Depp was seen lunching there on Tuesday. Then off to the Highlands..Our connection met us all outside and personally guided us in and around, took care of our needs and was a perfect host. The venue is a good pick by the way....but I have to tell you, after looking the the Saturday night crowd of young "hip" girls, dressed in saran wrap and Lycra..all too tight, too short and too cheesy, I felt more like June Cleaver than ever. One young ladies dress was so tight and so short she could not negotiate the stairs without a crane to lift her from stair to stair. There was much dancing and a lot of immature drinking. After watching all of this I was glad I was more like June Cleaver than the members of Animal House. I still was asked to dance by younger, handsome men...I was still offered a cocktail by the same...and at the end of the evening I was not being drug out of the ladies room by two burly body guards because I could not stand up on my own....All in all June and me may be down but we will never be OUT! And I was able to get to work by 6:30 a.m after getting to bed at 3:00 a.m...I bet those little honeys at the club cannot say that!

Yay!!! I have been waiting for a new blog:)
That was an awesome story...I don't think you are June Cleaver at all! But I hear you on that you would rather be her, than those girls...but really do you think that June did belly dancing and burlesque?
