New Years 2014 in NOLA!

For New Years Eve I started the evening with Semmesey and Katie and all their lovely friends at home.


Stellababy looked totes adorbs.


And Semmsey had cooked up a delicious New Years pot roast.


And opened a very special giant bottle of wine.


Among those present were the adorable Chris Carrot and his soon to be bride Tara. I am shooting their wedding in Italy next summer and am SOYYYY EXCITED.


Last year we rang in the New Years 2013 with endless bottles of Dom Perignon. 

This year I decided we needed to step it up with Cristal. LOVE that packaging.


The pot roast was SOOOO good. (We ended up using the sauce for a couple extra days to make breakfast eggs and dinner pastas and oh my god i feel like an obeast.)



Dom, while expensive, tastes like poop. So I was a little skeptical of whether or not Cristal would be all that delicious.


But it was. It was the most delicious champagne I have ever tasted.

It literally tastes like a million dollars.

And this picture is so obnoxious.


Mmmm yay. Loves my Smershy and Simmons! I am so thankful to have so many wonderful friends that I know will be in my life forever and ever.


So...a couple of weeks ago, while in LA, I "bumped" into my acquaintance-friend Rusty and his friend David Alan. I say "bumped" because that's basically what happens these days when you're traveling and you see on the FB that someone else happens to be in your city and so you tell them to swing by while you're holding court at SoHo House and they do and you realize you are both Delta Diamonds and have the best jobs ever with the most flexible schedules ever so you just inevitable that you are to become BFFs...

Well Rusty lives in New Orleans and has probably the most fabulous job in New Orleans (he is also a fellow giant). And David Alan is equally fabulous (he's an agent at one the big talent agencies in LA) and they were in town for the New Year and had rezzies at a club on the waterfront.

So they picked me up and we giggled and sang and sipped champagnes all the way to the French Quarter. (LOVES that New Orleans has no open container rules.)







We got to the club and were greeted at our table by hors d'ouevre people carrying the most incredible spread of treats. Alligator sausage sliders, pulled pork sliders, meat pies, mini fried oyster po boys, and this: LOBSTER/CRAB ROLLS.


We had an entire reserved balcony table overlooking the entire club.

It was soyyyy fabulous...


Every once in a while we'd look out and wave to the Poors.


I forsee many more crazy adventures in the future with these two troublemakers...


Rusty's business partner Jeff is also a fellow Asian giant, and he and his wife live near Katie and Semmesey with a 3-year-old so I plan to hook them all up so they can all rule this town together.


Did I mention that these boys were trouble?




It was such a fun evening.


We also had a window and could look out on the street where people were lined up and gathered around Jackson Square in the pouring rain waiting for fireworks. Sorry about it.


I don't know why we needed this much alcohol... most of it remained unopened and we peaced out immediately after the countdown. What a waste.



For the countdown we went out back to the boardwalk along the waterfront where fireworks were being set off from a barge on the water.


It was mayhem out there.


We got a little separated...but thankfully being fellow giants, it's easy to find each other again.


People were pushing and shoving and near-stampeding because halfway through the fireworks show it started really pouring.


Them fireworks were purty though...


After the show we peaced out and headed to the pub to meet up with other fun gays. Loves my fabulous giants!


Adam was there too. Hiiiii adammmmm!


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

2013 Year-In-Review will be coming soon.

New Years 2013!

New Years Eve 2012/13...what a great night.
Princess Teebags flew in from Thailand just for the night. She landed around 3pm. Came straight to my house. We went to the mall for a dumpling snack...


And then within an hour, we were dressed and ready for the FF Ball.



Timmo had invited us to the FF Ball without telling us much about it. We didn't even know what "FF" stood for. Before arriving I think we came to the conclusion that it stood for "Fancy and Fabulous".

Boy, were we wrong...


We arrived at the entrance to the ball to find that it was, of course, ultra-fabulous...Black Tie...AND...

...Space-themed.


SO weird. Only in Asia will you go to a party to find a billionaire dressed in teletubby "space" costume.


Beware the man in the skin-tight bodysuit that leaves nothing to the imagination...


LOVES feeling super fabulous and sipping on fancy cocktails...


...while avoiding impromptu light-saber duels....


Auntie Natalie (Tim's mom) looked fierce and was rocking some crazy bling.


(Cue Rihanna) "Shine bright like diamond!"



After cocktails...we walked through a grand space corridor into the main ballroom...


And found our table...


The light design was very dramatic.



After we were seated...some men in LED suits came in and performed...



This thing was so random...


And then it was food time...

Starting with this weird powder substance..."Drugs?"...


No.... dry ice/beet soup...



Looked cool...tasted absolutely horrendous...


Luckily there was plenty of wine.


And a Darth Vader Ice Luge!




The appetizer and dinner courses were fantastic.


After which there were more totally rando performances...


And a really well-done Gangnam style spoof.




Look of horror? Or look of delight?

You decide.

(Probably a little of both.)


Did I mention that this ball was SO random?


Then there was a dance party.



Tim clearly learned to party from his daddy.





We counted down to New Years...



Hung out and danced more...






Got accosted by hookers, obviously...


(Just the two above...not Sara Jane here. She went to Harvard!)


And then... we hopped over to a club in LKF.

And at first it looked as if it was going to be impossible to get in with the throngs of people waiting in line...



But of course, when you're with TimLoh, anything is possible!



Like breezing into a wall-to-wall packed Dom-only party!





Tim Loh...are you wearing...lipstick?



Ohhhhhhhhhhh......



It's going to be a wonderful New Year!!!!!

Happy 2013!!!!
