Vegas! Poker! My Birthday!

This weekend it’s my birthday (go Pisces!), so I’m heading to Vegas for a long weekend. One of my best friends, FloJo, also has a birthday this weekend, and it’s tradition for us to celebrate together; we missed last year because I was in China, but this year, it is ON. She lives in Vegas, so this is an easy and fun trip for me. Our big plans are to shop and eat (sorry T., no poker, you forgot to give me money!) and perhaps see a movie. Did you know Sephora gives you a free gift on your birthday? They do! So we’ll be hanging out there as well. (Sephora ties with Target as my happy place—I’m a make up and skincare junkie.) I love the shops along the Strip. I can’t afford anything, but it’s fun to look. And speaking of looking…

…thanks to The Hangover, I can’t think of Vegas without thinking of Bradley  Cooper. He’s not even really my type (I'm usually not attracted to fair, blue-eyed guys, although there was a big exception), but there is something about him that is really attractive. I don’t know that I’d want him to be my boyfriend, but I do think he’d make the best personal concierge ever. “Bradley, please draw me a bath.” Yup, I can feel it. And have you seen the A-Team trailer where he blows up a plane from a falling tank? I so hope this movie is released in China so we can go see it!

Stephane Lambiel I love the Olympics, so I’ll be watching the men’s figure skating long program Thursday night. Johnny Weir is my pretend best friend, love him. If you haven’t seen this video of him skating to my favorite song of 2009, “Poker Face,” it’s worth watching. And have you noticed there are a lot of good looking male figure skaters? This is Stephane Lambiel, not too shabby. And boy, can he spin! But he’s no Johnny.

Hope you all have a great weekend! If anything fabulous happens in Vegas, I’ll post it.

    Also, I had no idea that Sephora gave you a free gift on your birthday. I will have to remember and put this to use in May.

    Thanks guys!

    BBS, I changed that to 'fair', that's a little more accurate. And I do like fair dark eyed, dark dark eyed, or dark light eyed, but fair light eyed just isn't my thing. Maybe because I am dark?

    Happy Birthday!! Pisces do rule. Have a great time in Vegas. I love to "play" in Vegas, because they have good prices, good buffets and great people watching.

    I loved Vegas. Watched the Hangover for the first time with friends there. It was hilarious. I dont like Cooper but he was good in that movie. I want to go back to Vegas soon. Good times. Happy Birthday.

    I've never been to Vegas, but I'd love to go to eat and shop and catch some shows! I'm not a gambler, but I'd probably want to try my luck at blackjack.

    Btw, that video was hot! Loved that Poker Face performance!! Winter sports are the best!

    "Bradley, please draw me a bath." I love that line. :)

    PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHICA!! Enjoy sin city...without being too much of a bad girl! ;)

    Happy Birthday! I actually like Bradley Cooper a lot and I'm more for the dark haired, dark eyed guys too. Go figure.

    I love Vegas....hope you had too much fun!
