A Follow-Up on the Cocktail....

Hi Dear Readers (or Nate! haha)....

I hear many of you (or maybe just Nate! ) were waiting with bated breath about how the Brazilian cocktail went...and what I ended up wearing...Well, I decided to follow my dear friend Nathan's advice to go snappy casual (I believe those were the words that he used??)...and I ended up wearing a cute cream sweater with blueish colored pants. I dressed it up with a bit of bling-bling....and straightened my hair and wore it down.... "Hey everybody! Look how good I look!!!" hahaha....

Well, we ended up going to this place for the cocktail and we entered and he didn't know ANYONE! Of course, I didn't know anyone...but also, I was the only white person in the entire room! A bit awkward, considering he didn't know anyone....so everyone looked at me like, "Who is this white girl with the Brasiliero??" We ended up leaving that "cocktail" and headed out to Ashland to meet another one of his friends from the class who skipped that party to go to another party. We followed her and her husband, as well as a few other friends, to Peabody. This was the first time I've ever been to Peabody. We passed a place called "Bunghole Liquors" and I just about lost it! I was laughing so hard and the Brasiliero had NO IDEA why I thought that was so funny!! Why would you ever name your store "Bunghole" anything?? Who was the smarty who came up with that name???

Well, we ended up crashing someone's wedding reception b/c we went to the wrong place. We drove around for a few minutes until we finally arrived at the right place. It looked like a big hall...there was a bar on one side (in a different room) and the room that we were in had a big stage with a dance floor in the front. This time there were like 200-300 Brazilians...and again, I was the only caucasian! hahaha....I'm pretty white, so I stick out like a sore thumb WHEREVER I go! haha....I definitely felt underdressed there...I probably should have gone with my original outfit of the wine colored tank with the black flowy knee length skirt...but whatever! It was fine...Next time I'll know better! Although...if we hadn't left the original "cocktail", I would have been overdressed, for sure! UGH....SO confusing!!!! hahaha....

All of the Brazilians are CRAZY dancers!! They dance something called the "fawhaw". I'm sure I spelled it incorrectly....but that is how it is pronounced! hahahah......They are all up on each other and they shake what their momma gave them! YIKES!!! I definitely didn't attempt it...b/c I already felt enough out of place to not make a fool out of myself trying!! hahaha.....Well, that's enough for now! Nate, I hope this sufficed!! hehehe....

Have a wonderful day!!
