We interrupt this family-friendly blog…
…for a Bachelorette Party. My friend June is getting married next month and her Bachelorette party was Saturday night. Since she had no clue where we were going or what we were doing, I had to keep quiet about it here.
I dropped the girls off with my Parents and headed up with my friend Dawn to meet the girls. From there, we hopped in a beautiful stretch limo and were chauffeured into New York City for a hilarious Off-Broadway production of…
And it really was Naked Boys Singing. It’s a musical review – so there are a bunch of different songs all performed by men, well, nude. I even have a DVD of the show to prove it. ;) Now going in, June had no idea as to what the show was. And we were literally front-row CENTER in a small theater. So the seats were right at the stage. The lights were off when the men came on stage, so her first clue was when the lights came on and they were standing right in front of her. We were all hysterical. The songs were funny, the singing and dancing was entertaining and the men could sing. I haven’t laughed that hard in a very long time.
After the show, we went out to dinner. There were a bunch of other bachelorette parties there and the place was very fun. We got to dance on our chairs and play with tambourines. Since we had time left with the limo, on our way back, we stopped at an Irish pub for some bad Karaoke – sorry I did not perform. I was unable to drink due to some medication I’m on (for an infection in my toe nail) and I would have needed quite a bit of alcohol to sing. ;)
I’ll say I could get used to the limo thing. Our driver was great too. He was personable and so nice. He escorted all of us to and from the limo with an umbrella to shield us from Hannah’s rain (it was pouring most of the night).
I didn’t get home until 1:30am, which is earlier than I thought I’d get home, but I’m still paying for it. I am not used to staying out that late.
Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure. Don’t worry – no cameras were allowed during the performance, so I don’t have any of the naked boys…
June all ready to go

Oh what fun! I want to see that show;)
Sue! This is so funny..you look great! Glad you had such a good time. Had to work at school today, will try and catch you tomorrow. D
Oh my gosh, I would love to see that show. Sounds hilarious.
Glad you all had such a fun time.
BTW~There is an award waiting for you over at my place.
And I kept shaking my head, reading the convo between the Tropicana CS and the concearned mother about what is and what isn't 100% pure juice.
LOL! I would have so died if someone took me to see that show!
That is hysterical. . .you all would have been laughing your pants off at me as well had that been me!
So glad you guys had fun, I'm jealous.
I can't imagine being front and center at that show LOL My sides would have hurt from laughing so hard! Sounds like it was a really fun girls' night out :)
Sue: Did J actually let you out of the house looking like that? You looked absolutely great. I meant to tell you that before you left for that bachelorette party, but I didn’t get around to it. (In case anyone is wondering, I baby-sat the girls that day…by myself…for several hours…just two days after hernia surgery!) I’m glad you had a great time.
Yippeeee! I can't wait either!!! Or can I?! Omg, I'm stressed, but excited...scared and just tired!!! I can't wait to just be married... You know me, a bit of a control freak.. so well, planning a wedding for the past year and 'hoping' that it all comes together in the end without me having to 'worry' about it -- is probably not going to happen, but I will try to 'chiiillll'.
