A clean shaved pussy

Today we took the adorable Oskar in for a shave. We go to Reigning Cats & Dogs located in Salt Lake City. Big thanks and shout out to Mindee & Debs for giving us the recommendation.

The hubs was the one to drop him off and pick him up. However, I'm so embarrassed because he didn't leave a tip. YIKES! We better double up next time.

Look how freaking cute he looks!!

TADA!

The S'more Plz

When we were in Vegas, Itty picked up some Marshmallow vodka and then I was like we need cream and chocolate liquor STAT!

Back at our room I mixed the liquors and cream together and then I topped it off with whip cream. Delish!

Then someone suggested it tasted like a s'more and we should garnish with a graham cracker, we just didn't have any.

It's really good and really strong.

Ingredients:

- 1oz chocolate liquor
- 1oz marshmallow vodka
- 1oz whipping cream
- 1 t chocolate syrup

Put all ingredients in a shaker full of ice and shake a few times. Pour into a crushed graham cracker rimmed martini glass.

Makes 1. Double up if you want to make 2.

Pipi the piñata peep

The AMAZING Asian has done it again. he made the cutest pinata for my Easter party. It's so cute, I may not want to break it open.

The Pellom boys are what make me laugh. They have me in stitches all the time.

Theme: Fave drink and that would be WINE!

I love all kinds of wine. Red, white, pink, dry, sweet, crisp or anything in between.

This is the current wine I'm drinking. My friend MoMo got it for me as a Hanukkah gift. It's actually from a local winery. I really like the summer mead and my husband finished a whole bottle of strawberry wine himself.

If you live in Utah, the wine store downtown does carry a couple of selections of this brand, otherwise make the 40 minute trip and do some wine tasting, buy and support your local Utahns. They have some YUMMY flavors like blueberry, peach, blackberry, pineapple AND LOTS MORE!! Link below will take you to their site.

Last time I went the tasting was free and you can sample 5 wines/meads.

(Note to self: I need to make another trip out there!)

I forgot to post these.

Loki jumped on the suit case when we got home and there he stayed, until he made sure we weren't leaving again.

The art of burlesque

After seeing Crazy Horse in Vegas, it totally reminded me how much I loved the art of the burlesque dance AND why wouldn't I? I mean it has glitter, sparkles, feathers, fringe and lace. In fact I remember my mom telling me when I was a little kid I danced liked a burlesque dancer, having no clue what that meant. Although, I'm still pretty amazing at dancing with the Christmas tinsel garland.

I found out that Dita Von Teese is performing one night in Vegas in May and I WANT TO GO! Fingers crossed that I can make it.

I was shopping on eBay today and found tons of burlesque related stuff and I kind of want these feathers.

One of the acts they dance to in Crazy Horse was called "I'm a good girl". I love that song and remembered it from the movie Burlesque. Check it out: video

I need to buy this book

Viva Las Vegas

We did a 3 day trip to Vegas with The Asian and Itty. It was TONS of fun and they are my favorite people to vacation with, followed by The Hippies and Wicked M's.

The road trip down is always a trip in it's self. We ate lots of food, walked a ton of miles, shopped till we dropped and drank like it was nobodies business.

We went to Crazy Horse in MGM on Friday night and shall Absinthe Saturday night. Erik and I have seen A LOT of shows and Absinthe, hands down is the funniest show I've ever seen. It's very crude, funny and has lots of mesmerizing acts.

I don't want to give all our secrets away, so besides a shaving incident, white stuff shooting out on someones face, turns out every ones poop stinks, drunk by 11am, disobedient servant, passive aggressiveness and AE moments that's all I can vaguely mention. (PS- Some of the above statements don't even have to do with us)

Thanks for the fun and memories boys! I love you all!!
