Life With Boys

A while back I was introduced to The Sweet Potato Queen’s Book of Love — and loved it so much I bought it for just about everyone I know. We still have some room if you want to come along and join the festivities — just let me know.

Now, the time has come for a Girl’s Weekend/Spring Break like I’ve never had before. Here’s a run down from HRH (Her Royal Highness) And if you take a peek at the very end you can catch a glimpse of my stunning sequin number for the parade!

EVENT SCHEDULE:

1. Thirsty Thursday—pretty much all day and into the night in the bar at the Hilton—drink specials—especially Michelob Ultra and other Fine Anheuser-Busch Products and overall Queenly Treatment!

• SPQ™ Big Hat Luncheon at Bravo!—on Friday—11’ish til 2’ish—FABULOUS FOOD, LOTS OF SUCKING UP BY THE VERY CUTE WAITSTAFF and THONG-MODELING BY VERY HUNKY/HANDSOME OWNERS JEFF GOOD AND DAN BLUMENTHAL!
• Margarita-Wine-and-Cheese Party at The Everyday Gourmet—FREE Fat Mama’s Knock You Naked Margarita’s and FREE Barefoot Wines Champagne—on Friday—2’ish til 6’ish.
• SPQ™ Ball—Friday night at Hal & Mal’s—7’ish to 11’ish.
• AfterGlow—Friday night at the Hilton—after the Ball for who knows how long!
• PARADE ROLLS AT NOON!—On Saturday grab your complimentary coffee and bag-breakfast from the Hilton and ride the buses from the Hilton to the lineup area beginning at 8 a.m. Get on the buses at the Hilton EARLY if you don’t want to miss EVERYTHING! Traffic sucks close to Parade Time.
• AT THE END OF THE PARADE ROUTE—board the buses back to the Hilton for the FREE BIG ASS BARBECUE & BOSS QUEEN SALUTE and the COSTUME CONGA LINE and daince to the Earth Angels—2’ish til 5’ish.
• Pearls and PJ’s™—and Something-To-Do-With-Jell-O—at the Hilton—Saturday night—7’ish til 12’ish.
• Bathrobe Brunch—at the Hilton—Sunday morning—9 til 11—FREE CHAMPAGNE FROM BAREFOOT WINES! And of course, Pig Candy, Sweet Potato Biscuits and Brenda’s Shrimp and Grits!

ATTIRE: YOU’LL HAVE MORE FUN IF YOU DRESS UP—so get all the sequins, feathers and rhinestones you can put your hands on—then add 20% and you’ll be fine.

• Big Hats for the Big Hat Luncheon, of course.
• At the Ball, you will see everything from full costumes to jeans—suit yourself!
• At the Parade—be as outrageous as possible—but not naked or even nearly so! Think Sparkles—not Skin!
• Stay in Costume for the Big Ass Barbecue—we’ll do the Beautiful Conga Line so I can SEE ALL YOUR COSTUMES!
• Pearls & PJ’s—yes, we really do all wear jammies and fancy joory.
• Bathrobe Brunch—we really do all wear our bathrobes and you will be happy about that when the time comes!

PARADE VIRGINS—Everybody is here for the Same Queenly Reason so you can pretty much ask anybody anything and they will be more than happy to help you.

TWO THINGS YOU MUST DO WHILE IN JACKSON and I will be questioning you on Sunday morning about this: (1) YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD TIME, and (2) YOU MUST MAKE AT LEAST ONE NEW FRIEND!

OK—MAKE THAT THREE THINGS—you absolutely, positively, MUST HAVE COMFY SHOES for all the events! Trust me on this. I KNOW you look fetching in 4 inch heels—who doesn’t?—but there are no wheelbarrows coming by to tote you around when your feet give out; so, suck it up and shoe yourself for the long-haul!

That’s all for now—be sure you READ all this BEFORE you e-mail or call me with questions that are answered in here—oooooh, that makes me sooooo crabby!
