Another adventure in La La Land
Yesterday my friend had her birthday brunch at the Standard. I pulled up and saw what looked like a casting call for Jersey Shore extras. There were about 300 of them in line. I tried to valet, the cute little valet guy said there was no more valet but the public parking behind me would be discounted if I got a stamp inside. Okie Dokie. Then he says You looked really beautiful, is that vintage? I say yes, it is. He then asks if I am sure I am at the right Standard. Yes…. I explain about my friend and he says OOHHH, just go up to the front of the line there and tell the blonde. Ok. Done. Got a red plastic bracelet slapped on my wrist and an escort in by a very large, sweet man. I got loads of stares, as you all know my usual daily attire…
We eat brunch and go upstairs. We get a VIP corner. Wow, it was like nothing I have ever attended before. And one of the guys from Jersey Shore was there, indeed. It was loud, rowdy and I saw loads of people living a different dream than I am. It was an experience I am glad I had… but, as Elizabeth Bennett said, “Of some delights, I believe a little goes a long way.”
Happy Monday 
I think I finally understand what the #allthefeelings meme is about ….
