Work it, Work it, Own It, Own it
That's one of my favorite lines from Pretty Woman.. I think of it when it's time to go honky tonkin' down on lower Broadway in Nashvegas. Yes I'm talking about the World Famous Tootsies, Roberts and the Stage... I get all dressed up, by dressed up I mean, wearing the most fabulous fitting faded Ralph Lauren Jeans and the ever famous lowcut (but tasteful) black tank (from Ann Taylor no less), along with either black boots or black stilletos (depends on the season). I usually curl my hair so that it's a little wild.. you know, the kind of hair that if you're dancing and swinging your head around your hair just looks that much sexier?? The eye make-up is a little more dramatic and the lipstick is glossy, very kissable....
So then I get in the car and crank up some party music, usually the CD my friend made me for my 30th b-day.. It's the best mix!! When I walk into the bar to meet the girls, it's like I own the place and I'm giving off the vibe of "Come and get it boys" .....
But to me, it's all just a very fun game b/c there ain't no way any one of them is coming home with me or getting within 10 feet of these lips... Even if he does buy my drinks all night. He might, MIGHT get my number, but it's doubtful...
But then it's back to work on Monday, the pristine Junior Leaguer is back but that wild honky tonkin, beer drinkin', dancin fool is still dying to get out... and when she comes out and I take that last look at myself as I going out the door, I can hear "Work it, Work it, Own it, Own it" ....
Thanks Meg for the inspiration....

Oh honey, baby, chile! LOVIN it!! Maybe you need to come to Memphis and work it with me and Birdie this weekend . . . hmmm . .
I hate this, but I have NO idea what to wear on my feet?!?!?! I desperately want to wear this new pair of knee high cranberry suede slouch boots with a pointy three inch heel, but my doctor would have a heart attack and you guys would be carrying me back to the car. I hate having a bum hip!!!!
Well, how long could you actually wear them?? If you can get at least two hours out of them, it might be worth it. Better yet, what size do you wear?? I might need to borrow them...
I feel the need to WORK IT this weekend!!
Ummmmmm, knee high boots. LOL.
Ahhh there he is, how are ya precious?? See Meg, I knew when we started the "shoe talk" it would draw him out...
If we go to Memphis, we'll send pictures of the shoes we wear(b/c they will be fab)... they won;t be as good as stephs but they'll be sumthin!!
I think I'm going to be relegated to the lower heeled black leather riding boots. Oh oh oh and a cutie cute pair of satiny cuffed crop pants with the black lace chami and the Arkansas Razorback red cashmere shrug, gotta represent my team when I'm in Volunteer land.
If you can fit into my shoes, girlie, they are so yours to borrow! However, the possibility of this weekend is growing dimmer. Birdie can't switch the schedule so we may end up in downtown LR instead of Memphis, but are planning a Memphis (and then on to Tunica, MS to gamble!) trip ASAP.
As for Chairborne, he's such a shoe pimp. :) But we forgive him because we're definitely shoe whores. JUST shoes though!
No,no,no... come meet me in Memphis. It's like the only weekend I can get away for like a month... Come on, Beale Street is calling... We can drink it up and talk trash about boys, present company excluded of course...
Now you two are getting to ME! Right now, what I wouldn't give to see something other than desert camouflaged...
While CB might go for shoes, I've got to go with hair and eyes. Loved the description of doing your hair all up nice and purdy
See, these women rock, Eunuch, and they will always make us feel better.
Ohhhhh.. You boys are so sweet!!! Hair and eyes... let me see what I can do...
I think it's YOU guys that make US feel better.. I don't think I've smiled this much in a long time...
LOL - you make me guys regret that I'm at work with kids (not really regret, love my kids) while you guys get to sit in front of computers.
Speaking of . . Beach, what color ARE your eyes girl? And what color shadow and liner are you using?
My eyes are brown and I use earth tones, browns, tans, etc... Unless I'm going out... at that point I use this FAB green and brown, with heavy black liner, then I smudge it and it looks all smokey,I know it sounds gross but trust me, it's VERY SEXY... at least I think it is..
Sounds very camo! :)
Sounds perfect for a date in a Baghdad hotel.
On a bunk bed.
Um hmm . . .
Gurrrrrl... You have no idea... My momma would die if she read this....
I HAVE GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK...
LOL-I have a tiny ass little bunk bed made for Iraqi men, though.
Chair, angel, all the more reason for the girl visiting to be on top.
Of the bunk bed.
Yeah, of the bunk bed.
Was that convincing??
Thanks for posting CB- At this point your bed seems kind of full at this point... hahaha.... What with the love triange between you, meg and steph... This is better than reality TV!!
Meg-where have you been??
Meg put her fax machine on automatic, her email on hold and went driving. She needed to clear her head.
NOTHING to do with the French Connection, totally to do with thinking about something more thoroughly. Reviewing whether or not someone from my past is what's making me unable to form a future.
