On Wednesday March 14th Corrie, Mom and I went to see a male strip show for Mom's 60th birthday. What a way to turn 60!
I left from work to pick Mom up and take her to a local bar in Palm Bay to celebrate and hang out with other women and naked men. Hmmm. Sounds like I shouldnt be going.
I invited my friend Danelle from work and she invited another girlfriend. They decided to meet us there so I went to get Mom. I get to her house and of course she is in pink sequins. What else? I'm wearing a jean mini skirt, black lace tank top, black boots and a matching jean jacket that comes down 1/2 way.
We get to the bar and get ready to get in when Mom tells me she forgot the tickets. Ok ok. . I often wonder if these things have any thing to do with her age or hair color. Oh well, no worries we still have time and she practically lives right around the corner. So we head home, grab the tickets and head back.
We get in and there is Corrie in the front row right next to the dance floor - which I guess is gonna be the stage. She has put balloons on Moms chair (they werent in anyones way - at this point) and given her a pink boa. So we sit and order drinks.
You could tell this was some "hometown" bar. It had a really small dance floor, 6 big screen tv's, pool tables and a wrap around bar, nothing particularly exciting. We chat and I pull up 2 more chairs and wait for Danelle and her friend.
The show starts and this thin, handsome announcer comes out and gets the women pumped up. He says they will give away prizes (calendars and pictures) at the end of the show. He asked us to write our 1st and last names on a dollar bill and drop it in the tip jar and they will draw names. He gave the bucket to me and Mom, Corrie and I were the 1st to put our $ in. I wrote my first name really small on the corner since I didnt want my first and last name on the now defaced money.
Within minutes you heard the James Bond song and out (from a curtain in the back of the bar) comes this short, stocky guy with a blonde crew cut. He looked so totally nervous. He had this smile that wouldnt quit. Kind outta character since James didnt really smile, he smirked. Anyway, he was fun to watch.
There were only 5 guys and 2 of them did the "cowboy" thing. come on, they could have switched it up! One guys was really built and seemed much older and the other guy was a little mexcian looking thing.
I tell you, a guy in a thong is really not all its cracked up to be. The cutest guy looked best in his pants and no shirt.
I saw many similarities and differences in male and female dancers. First of all one of the differences is that the crowd at this show (all females) was really pumped. They danced (some even for each other) and shoved dollar after dollar in these guys freakin underwear! Money was flowing!!
You could tell that some of the guys were nervous at first. ( I can only imagine. . . .)
Anyway, at the end of the show the announcer comes over and hands me the bucket filled with bills and tells me to draw a name. I reached way down in the bottom, where my dollar was and pulled one out. He couldnt find a name so I looked and sure enough, it was my name! He totally didnt beleive me and thought I was pulling the wool over his eyes but I insisted I drew it. Which amazingly enough, I did. He held my dollar and continued to draw names for calendars. When they were wrapping things up and taking polaroids I went over and gave him hell.
Needless to say, Mom now owns an autographed pair of mens underpants!! Good times!

SEVERAL REASONS TO DRINK GREEN TEA
CUT YOUR CANCER RISK
Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Study after study has found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and/or prostate cancer.
SOOTHE YOUR SKIN
Got a cut, scrape, or bite, and a little leftover green tea? Soak a cotton pad in it. The tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids. And that's not all. In the lab, green tea helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, whether you drink it or apply it directly to the skin - which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers.
STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.
PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S
Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
STAY YOUNG
The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which ups the risk of heart disease and stroke, adds years to your biological age (or RealAge), and saps your energy too. How much green tea does this vital job take? About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol.
LOSE WEIGHT
Oh yeah, one more thing. Turns out that green tea speeds up your body's calorie-burning process. In the every-little-bit-counts department, this is good news!
"I actually boil 2 regular tea bags and 2 green tea bags and add it to water w/ sugar. I didnt really know all of this until I read it here. I hope with that in mind, you all will increase your intake of natures liquid gold. It's got to be up there with the pomegranit!

NEWS: ADORABLE/SPIRITUAL
ADORABLE:
Two Sumatran tiger cub sleep with two baby orangutans in a nursery room at the Taman Safari zoo in Indonesia. The tiger and orangutan babies, which would never be together in the wild, have become inseparable playmates after they were abandoned by their mothers.
SPIRITUAL:
6,000 year old skeletons were found last week in Rome during digging in an industrial zone near the northern city of Mantua and the find will be displayed at the city's archaeological museum.
While scientists are still puzzling over how the pair died and why they were buried in this way, Menotti said their embrace was "testimony to a great feeling of love that has transcended time.
"We will do everything possible to preserve the bodies in the exact position of their grave," she said Wednesday. "There's no question of breaking their embrace."
