Yester Year -- The 90's!


Let the heckling begin. This is a step back in time. The year was 1992. Ah, a good year-indeed.
I've done a lot of things and yes, sadly I've even been auctioned off like a slab of fresh meat! True. All for a good cause. Of course.
What's even more amusing I was one of the highest bids! He must have really wanted me. In my hay day
I was a pretty "hot"commodity. Stand in line and take a number. I can't believe it that I actually got a thrill (insert poking eye out now) and enjoyed the glitz and glamour of a formal black tie event and all the blah, blah, blah that went along with it! The endless primping to have every hair in place. I actually reveled in it. Not anything I would consider today. Come to think about it I'd rather have a root canal. Too Schmancy for my "juicy wearing bum". I had been asked to donate my body for a fund raiser --Bid for Chicklette's. I was recently divorced. The ink had had barely dried on the paper . This is me with my sky high aqua net hair extensions (yes, yes I spent hours at the beauty shop to get that look and obscene $$) with my date for the evening(no he was not an escort-yes we were just friend's!)---"hot" divorced neighbor and no I don't know if he's still single. I imagine he was removed from the party circuit rather quickly and taken straight to bed. Anyway that's me dancing (with a drink in my hand?) with the oh-so famous no names mentioned--still single last I heard never been married get your hooks into bachelor of the year who bought my treasure chest!

What did he buy besides moi? My envy of all consisted of:

Complimentary free air fare (compliments of CAL) to the Dominican Republic. Another playground favorite but preferably while there is no coup attacks.

Complimentary one week stay at friends home in Dominican Republic with housekeeper and cook to boot. Neighbor's to Oscar De la Renta. ooh-la-la.

Complimentary one week stay at friends home in St Thomas perks of working the gold class line for CAL. Customer's were always throwing themselves at me.

Case of Kendal Jackson. Loved my wine back then too-hooked up with wine distributor.

20-Complimentary restaurant gift certificates to the cities top dining facilities. Dined in all of them.

Complimentary hotel accommodations anywhere in the USA--compliments of ex-husbands employer. ha ha. I was shameless. I was not going to be outdone by local radio persoanlity-. I was highly competitive. Still am.

Complimentary Zoo passes friends with the infamous zoo director-T.V. personality for a year.

Complimentary gift certificates to the top hair salon in the city. Obviously I wasn't a customer with the "Marge Simpson wig I was sporting"!

Complimentary movie passes for a year.
