So a bit of a fail on my part on the Liberty Sparkle Hearts front. I tell you what though this girl has been kicking it busy style. I feel like so much has changed in this past month that it would be hard to try and rehash. Somethings that stand out might be that we are now in a new year 2011. Yeah baby, what does everyone think about that? I mean I know that 2010 was crazy because I started it off in Xi'an, China style and ended it all up in South Carolina getting my party on! Both were equally fantastic but for extremely different reasons.
Well let's see in China I started the night off with my parents and roommate Lindsay at BEST Cooking, our favorite restaurant in the city. Then we headed to Oscar's Bar and just relaxed and drank a bit of mulled wine supplied by THE DCFW! The night quickly crept towards midnight and we realized that a change of venue was imperative! So we tried to catch a cab, which was all in vain since they were not stopping for our group of foreign bodies. Finally we Lindsay and I climbed in a Boom Boom (omgah boom boom's total China flash back with this one) which is basically a motorized scooter that has a box attached to the back for passengers to ride. The traffic was heavy as usual inside the city wall and L and I were concerned that our driver's extra slow pass would cause us to spend "the ball drop" on the rainy Xian street. With luck and the Boom Boomer's mad navigational skills we made it to Club Salsa (not a salsa club, go figure). Our friends met us at the metal detectors (they do NOT play) and escorted us to our table. The dance floor was packed and there were Chinese girls everywhere dressed in pink chiffon handing out lollipops, it was a brilliant site. Unfortunately D and his girlfriend Terry did not take the Boom Boom with us so they made it to the club after we did and spent the countdown standing at the door. But they made it over and hugs and kisses were administered all around! The rest of the night was spent dancing around our bottle service table enjoying the loud music and good company. And by company I mean the one guy that really caught a crush from me. Not ever sure what his actual name was but we called him Glasses. Ooo he was tall and smooth and fun to dance with and be around! After that we probably street fooded it up and headed home, where I am positive that I ended up on my soapbox for about an hour! Sorry about that Linz! :)
This year was similar in that it was fantastic, but it was inevitably completely different. A bit of drama and fighting friends surrounded the week leading up to the day but as things are with friends everything was smoothed out in time for a great night! Donning a pair of hot pink spandex leggings from American Apparel I began the day planning my outfit (clearly) around said leggings. (I apologize to Columbia for unleashing those leggings upon you with reckless abandon). Met up with my friend Lydia and hit the gym where we worked out then steamed/polled/hot tubbed it up! Delightful. Most of the afternoon was spent concocting Snooki Drops (my aptly named Jell-o shots) we made a variety of colors and flavors. They may have been perfect (and by may I mean were!) I went home napped/showered/dressed NSD, and then headed to Sara and Tony's house where my friends were congregating to watch the Gamecocks take on The Seminoles (that is the only time I will mention that game) and join together for good food and merriment. After a proper amount of time was spent house-partying it I headed downtown DD in the front attitude in the back. I think the pants brought out the sassy in me that night! We headed to The Whig briefly, one of my favorite local spots! Then off with Margey and Aaron to the glorious home of MP, design editor for the new mag I will be writing for Undefined! We rang in 2011 surrounded by beautiful and fabulous people. In honor of the new year I was ready to turn the party up to 11 and headed off to the Art Bar. (want to make sure to say that each trip was handled by a designated driver RESPONSIBLE is the name of the 2011 game!) Not quite sure of all the events that took place past this point, but I do remember leaving the club and a thick fog had rolled over the city. the closest thing to the China NYE grey cloudy starless sky! It is OK though I had so much sparkle that night I must have stolen their spot light!! ;)
Overall I could never say which night was better but I can say that they were both brave and bold, the way life should be.
2011, what can I say..
Make Revolutions Not Resolutions
Embrace the Sparkle!
