One more major shout out before we begin.....
Hi JP!
Zoë
A Thousand Tangerine-flavored Thank-You's!!!
Zo & Vi made a trek to our fave hotspot, Tangerine again last night. As ever, we had a blast and met loads of interesting, unique, fun Friends & Blogfodder!
So, as per our usual style, we'll begin with the Tangerine-Flavored Thank-You's to all who made our night memorable:
To Dominic, my darling brother: You probably learned a bit more about your big sis than you REALLY wanted to know...but don't worry, it's nothing a few years of therapy can't take care of. (HA!) Seriously, though, Bro, you rock, I love you and I'm so glad you were there to share it!!
To the Best F*cking Bar Staff in St. Lou: MixMaster Matt, Liz, Andy, Stephanie & "Jimmy Jam" the DJ - we love you!! You're incredible!! What would we do without you??? Oh sure, we'd drink a lot less, probably, but where's the fun in THAT? (ha!) ***NOTE: The Riverfront Times says, and I quote: "...Tangerine (is) Brokaw's loungelike bar and restaurant that pretty much gave birth to Washington Avenue nightlife." It is THE bar to be at in St. Louis. So if you're in town, stop in, have some dinner (fabulous - esp. recommend the Morel Mushroom and Rosemary Butter Risotto....mmmmmmm), have a cocktail and enjoy the eclectic, fabulous atmosphere that is Tangerine.
Blake's brother, Nick (sans fedora, last evening), who stopped in at the end of the night to offer his appreciation for our glowing review of his gentlemanly behavior. (He really is a good guy, ladies - snap him up!)
JP - Oh, JP, how we love you so! You're always there with a witty comment, a lovely compliment and a napkin drawing. We were soooo happy to see you!! Smooches, hugs & Cuba Libras to you. :)
To our cab drivers (we were good Divas and took cabs last night): Terri the Cabbie (it's a hat...it's a driver....it's two things in one!) and Mr. Unnamed Insane Cab Driver of the Year. I don't remember his name, the only words of English he knew were 'left' and 'right' (and we had to shout those multiple times for it to sink in) and he nearly killed us getting home, but we made it. (*whew*) So, for keeping us safe, we appreciate your Designation. :)
And NOW, for the new friends:
To Christine and Brandon, who gave us their barstools, thereby ensuring the continued success of Diva Nightlife. Thank you!!!
Brian & Kirk (aka "Maverick" & "Iceman") who made for interesting conversation.
Air Force Brian, who taught Zoë to salute and proferred some cocktails along with a display of his nipple piercing (oo-la-la!)
Mark and Tino. Wow. They are a blog all their own. More on them later.....
Tom and Jackie!!!! We LOVE you guys - you were awesome!! Smooches all around!
Philip the Gallery Guy - we'll definitely stop by (and if anyone knows Philip's last name, or the name of the Gallery, please let us know so we can give him a plug!)
And last, but certainly not least,
Brandon, our new Artist friend, whom we met through Phillip. Can't WAIT to see Brandon's work and have a cup of coffee with him soon!!! You're ever so adorable, and we look forward to hanging out with you again! xoxo
All in all, a rousingly successful Diva-evening, due in no small part to the amazing cast of characters!
Thank you, Thank you - a Thousand Tangerine-flavored Thank-you's!!
Quotes, stories and miscellaneous blogfodder to come in the next day or two. Stay Tuned!!
Divaliciously Yours,
Vi & Zoë
P.S. - There were a few LARGE bites of Blogfodder, which won't be covered in the thank-you's, because they fall under the category of "Johnny Blogfodder" and the illustrious "Dickweed-Blogfodder-of-the-Month." (You'll have to go to Johnny Blogfodder to read about them).

Almost Famous in STL
I felt like such the celebrity, albeit a local one, when I went to Tangerine over the weekend.
My lovely door boy has finally stopped asking me for my id. Then, even more graciously, invited me in without paying a cover.
Megan had a tall Cuba Libra sitting on the bar before I had my coat off
And
The cutie pie DJ JB shouts from his tree stand DJ booth
“Zoë’s in the house!”
Ah. Is it no wonder I love this place? “They like me. They really like me!” (Sally Field)
Zoë
But I was just trying to HELP!!!
News you can use....you know....for dinner conversation....
Victoria, BC---A woman was arrested for beating a man with a Christmas tree after he complained that the gifts he was carrying were heavier than the tree that she was carrying.
Poor tree. (i'm kiiiiidding......)
Washington, DC—The American Medical Association incurred the wrath of abortion foes when it voted against including a warning in birth control packages about the drug's ability to prevent a fertilized egg from establishing itself in the womb. Family Research Council Advisory Board Member John Diggs, M.D. says manufacturers and the AMA are doing "a great disservice to women."
Dear John: Well, DUH – why the hell do you think we bought them in the first place, dumbass???
Georgetown, CO—Some local residents are demanding that the mayor, a former stripper named Koleen Brooks, step down. She has been accused of baring her breasts at a local tavern. Brooks denies the charge, but says she has flashed her assets in a nearby town. She says, "I'm vivacious. I'm a nut. I'm just a social butterfly who wants to bring this town together."
Every woman reading this is thinking “Holy cow. I would NEVER do that. How the hell did a stripper get elected to public office anyway??”
Every man reading this is calculating the cost of gas between his house and Georgetown, Colorado.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands—The telecom services firm Tring has drawn fire by offering vibrators to customers who buy mobile handsets and take out subscriptions. KPN Telecom, whose mobile service is being offered, and Finland's Nokia, which makes the telephones, have already condemned the "An in-depth conversation" ad campaign.
PCS – SHMEE-C-S. I want my vibrator!!
Yours in Eternal Divahood,

INsanity!!
Do you know what the definition of insanity is?
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
*sigh*
From Zoe’s inbox.
I got this in my Inbox. I loved it! Especially considering two things.
1) it’s from a Diva I love!
2) she gets it! Mikey! She really gets it!
"The site looks good!
Love,
A fellow Christian diva.....who says that being a diva doesn't means making choices that are against what we believe..."
Thank you, Diva S!
Love,
Zoe

Reading.
I read. A lot. My tastes vary a bit, but almost always, it's some sort of fiction in my hands. For many years, it was science fiction/fantasy stuff. Then 'embellished fiction' - that is, so called biographies or autobiographies. Currently, it's women's literature, or "chick lit" as it's affectionately referred to.
In the book I'm reading now, the main character, named Katie, expresses several times that in order to be ambitious and successful, that one must have had a dysfunctional childhood. Anyone who had a "normal" childhood is lacking in the instinct and drive to be financially (and politically) successful in the workplace.
Do you think that's true? I look at the successful people in my life - those whose childhoods I know about - and I'd have to agree, oddly enough. It seems to stem from the idea that if nothing was handed to you, you feel a near desperation to make yourself successful in either appearance, pocketbook or both. However; if your surroundings were painted as an environment in which your parents stayed together and you were given everything you wanted or needed, you don't feel the same sense of urgency to acquire position or wealth. In fact, in this book, it's implied that those who did have a 'normal' background tend to slack off a bit, or not take things as seriously.
And looking at the two, which is preferable??? Yikes.
Messy thoughts, messy thoughts.

I'll be back soon.
If I were a drag queen I'd be Madonna and if I were a social taboo I'd be kiddie porn. Oh dear.
Take a quiz. I dare you.
Love from afar,
Zoe
