Photo Shoot Friday: Drinking the expensive shit for FREE

Happy Friday everyone! Remember this post where I got FREE happy hour drinks? Well, I won again! At Turtle Bay, everyone's a winner. I can now no longer gripe that I never win anything because it just is not true. 

Here I am with E-V-E. I was so happy—and a little surprised—she stopped by. She's one of the chillest (and the illest) people I know, but Turtle Bay isn't exactly her scene. Check out her blog to see what I mean. And I already gave you a sneak peek of my outfit last week. The skirt is by Free People—I got it from work! Oh wow, another thing I got for FREE. 

I looked over and saw Eve and her girls texting like maniacs. Too funny! (From left: Sarah, Jessica and Lauren.) They're so much fun. I'm kind of wondering what it's going to take for me to wiggle my way into their inner circle. Is there a handshake? Initiation? What? I can stop listening to Top 40 music girls, I swear. (Er, at least I won't openly admit that I like it!) Jessica suggested I ask for Grey Goose so I wouldn't be drinking "cheap shit" all night, and I wasn't sure if the bartenders would give it to me, but they did. Smart thinking, Jess!

The usual suspects: Jenn and Liza

I caught the DJ doing the sprinkler. Sweet. He played some old school beats like Salt 'n' Peppa's "Shoop" and NKOTB's "Step by Step." I belted out every single word.

You know that's Lindsay with her shiny ass hair. I turned her on to vodka-waters at the last happy hour and she hasn't looked back since!

Not sure who random dude is. There were a few that night, but none really worth mentioning. I felt bad because a cocktail waitress pretty much forced a man (I say man because I'm certain he was over 40) to buy me a shot even though I said I really didn't need it. So I took the shot, said thanks and left to join my friends. 

Looks like these gals were really enjoying the happy hour, too! When's the last time you danced on a table?

The FREE drinks ended at 9pm, so I rushed to the bar at 8:57 to get one more. I got DENIED by the first two bartenders I asked, but this nice guy served me right up.

Yes, I do occasionally feature soft porn on the blog. Who wishes they were that chicken finger right now? I kinda do ;)

Umm yeah, I definitely didn't need that last drink. Things got a little messy at the end there, but at least I was home in bed by 10:30!

When's the last time you got to drink for FREE? And are you a gulp-and-leave kind of girl when a guy buys you a drink, or do you stick around to chat? What's everyone up to this weekend? I'll mostly be working, and hopefully sleeping. I've been so tired this week!

Photo Shoot Sunday: Too much vodka, not enough boyz

Hey guys, so finally I have our Friday night recap! The other week I entered to win a FREE happy hour at Turtle Bay in Midtown, and I won! My friends got half off on drinks and appetizers—don't say I never hook you up, girls :) The bar is a bit of a combination of fratastic and guido (I heard Ronnie from Jersey Shore was there on Wednesday!), but I'm never selective when FREE drinks are involved. 

Me and Liza!

My drink of choice was vodka-waters with lemon and lime. It's an acquired taste, but the low calorie count is so worth it. And ok, I'm pretty sure my outfit is totally guy-repellent. My bf doesn't love boyfriend jeans, and paired with a plaid flannel, it's even less feminine. I liked it though, and I guess that's all that matters. What do you think guys—would you approach a girl in this getup? 

Here's the crew! I realized about two hours in that none of us had talked to even one boy. The problem is, we always have so much fun with each other, we don't really go scouting for men unless it just kinda happens. I know, I know, I always talk a big game about helping my friends meet guys and I never deliver. It's hard!

I forgot why Mary Allen gave me a thumbs down sign. Maybe she wanted me to get out of her face—everyone eventually got really annoyed with my constant picture taking!

Of course I came prepared with FnF stickers—everyone wore one on their sleeve. We even got the DJ to make an announcement about the blog! I don't think anyone was really listening, but it was still cool! 

I have no idea why, but I told the bartenders it was my birthday so they'd let me back there to take a pic with them! And actually, they were quite attentive—I'd go back!

We had so much fun dancing—it's been a while since I've really busted out my moves. Tiff had the best gangster face of the group!

We were finally approached by guys towards the end of the night. That part is a bit fuzzy, but at least I have this pic as proof. Well, it's only one guy, but I know there were more!

Jenn, work it mama!

Jenn's little sis, Stacy, rocked an FnF sticker on her face Nelly style. That's a good look for you, girrrl.

Question: How old is too old to thug it out in pics?

Everyone our group is in this pic, so I'm a bit confused (and worried) about who I let walk all the way upstairs to take it. Hrm...

So yeah, that was our night. Even though there weren't many boys on the scene, we had fun just dancing and acting silly. 

The weekend went by so fast—I'm sad it's over! My jobless situation is always in my thoughts, but it weighs even heavier on my mind when Sunday night rolls around. Just feel lucky if you are going to work tomorrow. Seriously. So, how was your weekend and has anyone found a "cure" for the Sunday night blues?! Blah!
