Vegas, Baby!

This weekend was amazing! I got a visit from my boy Dillinger all the way from the 801 (Salt Lake City for those of you unaware) and we decided to hit up VEGAS with our boys Cole and Jake...

Hanging out with Dillinger while he got ready for the night...he was going to a rave later this weekend and I had to make my own special rave outfit to make him laugh!

Me and Dillinger both got our smiles done on the same day @ Dr. Olsen's! Showing off out cute new smiles :D to quote Dillinger, we "look like Rockstars..."

I'm not gonna lie...this guy was a total jerk. We asked him for a pic and he acted like he was totally annoyed. Mad Hatter = Mad Asshole. I'm dunzo with that guy...i'll throw something alice in wonderland related at him if i see his ass on the strip again lol

This is probably my favorite picture! We had the time of lives walking the strip and catching up...nothing like a sin city party with your fav babes! I wish I had more to write about, but the pictures really say it all.

Love Always,

The New CHOPS

An interesting story for all of you readers out there...


So last month, I went out to a fun little lunch with some of my old friends from high school, Laura and Jessica. We were having a good time when all of a sudden...


I bit into my sandwich and it tasted like METAL! I was instantly sick and ran into the bathroom. I remember thinking there must be bread stuck in my teeth or something because I felt something rough in my mouth. I couldn't get it out to save my life, so I looked in the mirror and noticed my veneer was missing.


I was devastated! After high school I saved up to get my smile fixed and now it was all down the drain...$500 gone baby, gone.


I told the on duty manager at the restaraunt what happened and he said that he would pay for my lunch but there was nothing else he could do. You guys probably know I never take No for an answer...so I called the corporate office.

Five Weeks Later, Here I am, (Free) New Smile and All.


We never determined what was in the sandwich...but at least my tooth is fixed now.
Love Always,
Manda

That Bitch Who Lives in Oz...

Once upon a time there were 3 best friends who loved to gamble...

One of them posed by fried chicken posters and lost $40. He was the saddest of the best friends, and also the most intoxicated. He did have 2 AMF's...adios mother fu...well, you know the rest.

The other best two best friends were just innocently playing the slot machines and got treated to the laugh of a life time when their um, cute fried chicken loving friend proceeded to get into an intense conversation with some sweet little old ladies innocently playing the Wizard of Oz machines.

CHRIS: Ugh, I am not winning a damn thing from these machines.
What is your secret?

OLD LADY #1: We aren't winning either! We just put more in to start with.

CHRIS: Damn, I'm getting pissed...that Glinda the Good Witch is a real bitch.

OLD LADY 2: Yeah, she is a BITCH!

CHRIS: (slurred words) YEAH, SHE IS! A RED HEADED BITCH! FUCK HER!

I don't think anyone almost peed their pants at the slot machines before, (well, atleast my age anyway) but it nearly happened today. I have to say it was a day I will never forget...

Me and the Glinda Hater...


Love Always,

Summer Love...

No, ladies and gentlemen, I am not talking about the quick paced relationships that we hold so near and dear to hearts for the time being. I am talking about my own PERSONAL summer love, which is....

FREE TIME!

My days are filled with laying out by pools, endless TV show marathons (The OC, anyone?) and lots and lots of adventures with friends.

Summer, you can be mine forever and always...i'd marry you if you bought me a diamond.

The only thing I hate is getting your little lovely sunburns. I'm quite crispy from laying out my the pool today! GRRR.

One of the best things to do is lay out by the pool and gossip with all your besties <3 Me Jake Chris and Cole had so much fun...these are memories you can't trade for anything!
Until Next Time,
Manda

Salt Lake City Pride 2011

This weekend was so much fun! I am so happy it all worked out and that we were able to go up to Salt Lake City to visit Casey and Dillinger for Gay Pride. At first it was a mess because Jake didn't think he could get work off, but after begging nearly every CNA at Kolob he finally got his shifts covered.

I love road trips! The whole way up north we were blast Lady Gaga's new CD and talking up a storm. Cole is crazy...he was mooning cars on the way! I almost crashed the car from laughing so damn hard. We did start to get tired of being in the car and after we finally got there we couldn't have been happier. Casey and Dillinger's apartments are so cute! They are in the heart of SLC right by the Gateway mall...you could literally walk there. I love the location, it is perfect...after this trip it made me want to move to SLC!

After we arrived, we did what we do best: Get ready! Casey's roommate Justin had a little get together at his apartment, and we got to meet some of the SLC gays (him and his friends call themselves The Wolf Pack! They were all so nice and fun.) Later that night there were having a huge celebration at Club Pure, which is a gay club that is 18+. I was so excited to go and dance with my boys! They have the best DJ and the club was PACKED! I read that over 2,600 people attended that night! It was crazy. After we went to the club we went over to our new friends Aaron and Lukas's house to visit with them, they are both really fun and were filling us in about everything salt lake style.

The next day we mostly spent time together. We went shopping and drove around, and Casey's friend Kyla came over to spend time with us. She is adorable! She was making me laugh the whole night. We had to rest up for Sunday since that was the big day with all the most fun events. My darling friend Dillinger had a bit too much to drink and fell over in the elevator (so did Cole, weirdly enough! At the exact same moment. It was hilarious) and smashed my foot! Everyone always says i'm a diva and a drama queen, so no one believed me when I burst into tears and said my shoe was filling up with blood. Yet it was the truth...the stains all down the hallway in Casey's apartment complex are there to prove it! hahaha. Dillinger was so sweet though, he bandaged my foot up for me and just wanted to make sure I was okay...I really love him :)

Sunday was my favorite day for sure, since we got to go to the Gay Pride Parade! It was so fun. There were tons of trannies...roller derby girls...hot gogo dancers in cages...and free condoms for all! HAHA!

After the parade we decided to hit up the festival at Liberty Park. They were fun booths everywhere, and they even had live music, such as one of the 80s most famous bands, Expose. Chris was so sad he couldn't come for Pride, he loves them so much! I felt horrible too. It was cool to be able to see them perform live though I wish he could have been there.

Casey decided to become a kleptomaniac at the festival...everytime i checked my purse there was another "treasure" from one of the booths that Casey thought I would like. He stole feathers and a hair clip! I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard. My sincerest apologies to all the hard working vendors who lost money on their merchandise this weekend HAHAHA 

After we went to the festival we went to Pure again :) this time it was for a free BBQ and later for dancing. My favorite thing had to be just laughing with all my friends though...we miss Casey and Dillinger all the time and we got to see them 3 days straight and have the most fun adventure any "fruit fly" could ask for! I never got so much love, by the way! Not only from my own friends but also from the new ones I made up in SLC. What can I say...the gays love me! And I love all of you too...thats why I love pride so much! It's my new yearly tradition. I can't wait to go to the one in VEGAS!!
Love always,
Manda

Game Night @ Auntie Trevors

First of all, you might be wondering who has an "auntie" named Trevor...and the answer is none of us. But I can't resist calling him that since I found out his adorable new roommate Ruby and her kids call him that! Tonight was lots of fun though...I haven't seen Trevor for ages, so when he invited us over for game night I had to run right over.

The truth is, we didn't actually end up playing any games, which doesn't surprise me. It always ends up all of us are so excited to be visiting with each other that none of the games actually take place. But i'm not complaining!

Actually, we did play one game called Flippy Cup haha. I never have tried this festivity before...but it turns out my team kicks ass at it! We won both times...and afterwards there was Kahlua everywhere! HAHA.

Probably my favorite part of the night had to be after most of the people left and Trevor broke out his hidden gem of a karaoke machine...I loved singing all my favorite teen pop songs from the 2000s. Trevor is the next Mariah Carey, just so you know folks...his rendition of "Hero" is a must see!
