If an awesome night is defined as free wine, beer and champagne, delicious free food, and a burlesque dancer in a bathtub than last night was awesome

No this is not a Fall Out Boy song title, it is the summary of my night last night. One of the excellent perks of having all your friends be in PR is the endless stream of event invites we all circulate amongst each other - some of which are truly amazing, like last night’s event at Counter Culture to celebrate the intro of the new chocolate mints from Altoids.

The main attraction of the evening? Dita Von Teese performing her burlesque act!!! You may know Dita several different ways – currently divorcing Marilyn Manson, face of MAC Cosmetics or new muse of Perez Hilton.

All of us were really excited to see Dita perform – pop culture whores that we all are. The whole crew was there, from P. and A. to Adj, Megs, MK and the new additions of GC and the Boz (separate entities though that might make a kick-ass band name). Seeing Dita’s act cut both ways. Though we all had a feeling something was off – be it the fact that the venue was actually quite small, she could see her complete audience or that she may have been tired – she didn’t really live up to complete expectations, it was no matter. To see it in person was totally cool. Basically, she starts off in a formal ball gown, strips down to pasties and a thong and then poured champagne all over herself and rinsed it off in a bubble bath tub. She looks like she stepped right out of 1940. She has the tiniest waist ever and her body is absolutely sick.

GC and I staked out our upfront seats when A. told us we should jump on that. So we were right in front for the act in all its glory. Then after, everyone just mingled and chatted until it was time to call it a night.

Tonight, thanks again, to kick-ass new job, I get to go to an after-party for Fashion Week at tenjune – scheduled guests to attend include Carmen Electra, Jamie Lynn Siegler and Danny Masterson – followed by game night up at Lola’s place ... Friday night could get kind of crazy...
