Our Trip to Vegas
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 11:58 pm
As reported here earlier, Stormy and I went to Vegas last week. We had a blast (as usual!). I got dressed and we went out on Friday -- first we went and got each of us new wigs at Serges -- Highly recommend them--they were wonderful. The salesperson took very good care of us -- and didn't realize I wasn't gg until we were fitting and trying on the wigs. And she stayed marvelous through the entire transacction. BTW--got a much shorter flippy spikey wig for summer---very trendy, very chic,,,and wore it the rest of the day. Stormy thinks it looks so good -- very natural. Stormy got a long frosted wig--also very nice.
So then we went shopping in Vegas malls--they had their spring stuff out!! Still not out here in the frozen midwest. Saw and tried on some very cool dresses, skirts and bouses. Bought some shorts for summer and some very nice blouses and tops. Even ran into some of those packs of evil teenage girls -- with no incidents or recoginition as anything other than two women shopping. Also bought some very nice hats and jewelry.
We went back to the hotel and changed. For the evening, I wore an aqua seqinned skirt, a black blouse and black slinky type jacket. No hose and low heel black satin sandals (with black bow).
Then we headed down to Fremont Street. Had dinner and then walked around some and played blackjack. That was interesting...sitting on one of those stools in a short skirt, keeping track of your purse, etc takes more talent than I realized before. Sat and talked to people at the tables for several hours including a husband and wife, the delaers, etc-- my enfemme voice worked very well. They asked me about my husband, my kids, our travels, and about my cousing (stormy) and just general chit chat. It was so nice just fitting in and being accepted as another lady out for some fun. And we both had a great time playing blackjack. Sometime after midnight, we ended up back at the hotel, had coffee and dessert.
The nice thing about Vegas--i have never not had fun there!
