Xmas in Fort Lauderdale

So I was totally set on having an orphan Xmas in the city with some fellow orphan friends.

But I went to an epic dinner at my new favorite spot Beauty & Essex last Tuesday night with Felixfriend, MAO, Bralex, and Kate and Felixfriend mentioned that I should just come to Ft. Lauderdale with him.

At first I looked at tix and they were almost $800. But the next morning when I looked again, they had dropped to around 5-hundo, which seemed relatively reasonable....so I jumped on it.

First thing Saturday morning I was on a flight from LGA to JFK.

The sunrise was incredible with the lights of the city still all lit.



Within four hours I was poolside with the Bhandari clan.



Over the course of our quickie two-day vacation, we hung by the pool, ate, drank, and played poker.



We celebrated Cousin Priyanka (Pinku)'s engagement to Sanket (Sunk-it).



And got the Aunties drunk on tequila shots.






XMas morning all the kiddies were really excited to open gifts.






I gave Felix Never Say Never, since he has recently become the biggest unexpected Belieber of them all since our Vegas group viewing of the movie.



I also got Felix the Bieber Xmas album, which, as it turns out, he also got for me!






My Xmas gift to the fam I guess was to take a bunch of family photos. Easy like pie.




On our last night, we had a family viewing of Never Say Never and converted a whole bunch of new Bieber worshippers.

I love me some Felixfamily!

And I have just been informed that I'm going to be one of Felix's groomsmen, which makes me sooooo happy.

Wedding diet and exercise regiment commences Jan 1!

United States of Pop 2011

DJ Earworm's yearly End-of-Year Pop Mashup is up, and as usual, it's AMAZING!

Bieber Dream

I had a dream that my job was to hold a giant 6 liter bottle of Purell and stand next to Justin Bieber and make sure everyone was sanitized before they touched him/shook his hand. We would travel from place to place and eat pizza together and it was really awesome except Sheryl Crow REFUSED to use sanitizer and I had to beat her away with one of those foam pool floaty-worm thingys.

Another Xmas Engagement!

Annie and Eric weren't the only ones to get engaged this last week.

DannyHong & Tevia did as well!



In Mexico!



I met up with Danny last Thursday night and he told me what he was about to do when he went to see her and her family in Mexico this past weekend.

He also wanted to book me for their wedding on November 3.

Yep. Danny booked his venue AND his photographer BEFORE he even proposed.

And lucky he did...because literally at 9am the next morning someone else tried to book me for November 3!



Danny knew he wanted an iconic NYC venue (I won't reveal it in case she doesn't know yet) that his kids could walk by and could say, "that's where mommy and daddy got married!" Isn't that SO cute? I think so.

So yes, if you go back and look at November 3rd on my insane wedding schedule blog post, you'll see that "Top Secret Wedding" is now "Danny & Tevia's Wedding".

WOOOO!!!

P.S. Sorry to all the single but boyfriended ladies and gays who are anxiously wondering what the "Top Secret Engagement Mission" is on January 7th. Think of it as the lottery. Maybe you'll win...but you probably won't!

Xmas Engagement!!!

Congrats to Annie and Eric who got engaged over the holiday!







So happy for you guys!!!

And yes, Annie looked fierce in the Vegas Partywig...but Jesse brought it to a whole other level.



Vegas post coming soon!

Xmas time at the PHB

It's Christmastime at the PHB!



We had a little party to celebrate.

I put lots of cute-ass bows on the walls to decorate and it looks really cool IMO.




KHunt brought along her new giant friend.



Mellis came by...



I just LOVE a giant.



But not as much as I love a Blake Lively clone!



Hi Kayvon!



Hi P.F. Chang and Dommerick!



Merry Xmas Noopur and friend!



Deerfield love.



I love that my EggFury painting lurks into the back of all these photos...




Granto!



Our Xmas celebration even saw the appearance of Dr. Chris, JD PhD MBA WTF



We loves Dr. Chris!




Here's where things start to get a little rough. I blame the Rape Punch. (Roommate Jon makes a mean party-punch that you should definitely drink...if you want to get raped.)






This is about 2 minutes before I made a beeline for the bathroom and locked myself in there to throw up and take a nap in the tub.



Wheeee!!! Christmas!!!



And yes, that above is Kayvon's BFF Irene AKA Real World Irene who got slapped-in-the-face.

Merry Christmas all! I'm off to Ft Lauderdale tomorrow!
