Thursday morning I leave for a four-day weekend in Vegas for a Blogger Birthday Bash, celebrating the birthdays of a ton of bloggers, including Erin, Queen of Spain, her husband Aaron, VDog, Megan, and, on their own separate yet completely coinciding birthday trip, Whall and Ren!
So, of course, yesterday, I had to primp and preen to look pretty for all of the people I’ll be seeing:
Getting ready for Vegas from Adam Avitable on Vimeo.
If you’re planning on being in Vegas or live near the area during this weekend, come join us. The more, the merrier. And remember – what happens in Vegas will probably get tweeted, sent to facebook, and uploaded to Flickr within seconds of its occurrence.
Enjoy this post? Try these:Join me in Vegas on Saturday
Attention Atlanta bloggers

There’s always cheap flights to Vegas! It’s finding the time to go that’s the problem.

I was really hoping you would scream “AHHHHH…Kelly Clarkson”.
You let me down.

@CP, I should have. It wasn’t THAT painful, though!

Not sure if I should confess that I actually live in Vegas or not…but where’s the party going to be??

@Kellie, did you click the link? Planet Hollywood.

Sweet Jesus on a cracker, you grow hair on your nose?! Seriously get it lasered off. I did my bikini area and I haven’t had to wax in 5+ years! Actually get your entire face lasered. I can only guess what your back and ass look like.

@ChickenLiver, don’t say that, he will show us!!!

@avatgardener, Oh god you’re right. Delet, Delet!

@ChickenLiver, you’ve seen my back and ass. If not, Google avitable “Letter to my body”.

I CANNOT WAIT to see compromising photos of you posted on other blogs. Preferably photos you’ve begged to be taken down, over which you have threatened (but know you’ve no hope for) litigation.
Oh please please. Let there be photos.
Wish I could be there.
Also, I’m with Chicken Liver. What the fuck is up with the nose hair thing?!
Reply
@Jurgen Nation, and why can’t you be there? Hm? There’s no good excuse.

I’m so bummed that I’m not going – it’s my damn birthday, too. Somebody’d better flash me on the Internet. Somebody meaning not you and flash meaning boobs, not your balls.
Reply
@Zoeyjane, I stopped reading after the word “Internet”. I will make a note of your request.

Ow! I didn’t see you flinch!
Reply
@MariaV, I winced. A lot.

Painful? Painless (perhaps) pulling pesky plugs provides party prepping pictures. Please prevent publication of possible pubic prettiness photos.
Reply
@avatgardener, definitely not painless! And I will not prevent publication. I’m not into censorship.

Snorty snort…have a good time!

@Hilly, I will. Wish you could come too!

At first I thought you wrote Booger Birthday Bash. Looks like I got excited for nothing.

Unless someone’s iPhone is dead because they can’t find their charger or something.
Reply
@Miss Britt, I found it!! I had to go to their website, look up the photo of it, and found the photo of the charger and finally saw it on my file cabinet.

@Finn, and now I’m beyoootiful!

You even waxed the insides of your ears. Now that’s a real man.
I think I need to have that done since using small scissors isn’t as nearly effective.
Reply
@martymankins, yes. Do the wax. Dooo ittt!

Waxing is for B bloggers, all the cool people get threaded, now, didn’t you know? Let me know when you’re ready to take it to the next level.
Also, as you prep for Vegas, I’d like you to know that some people call it a “lap dance”, but, really, it’s a donation to the Las Vegas School of Medicine. And I’m pretty sure it’s tax deductible, so get a receipt. Just FYI.
Reply
@Faiqa, I heard that your threader does a different thing than the one I used. I’ll have to try your sometime. And thanks for that tip! I’ll give it a shot.

Can’t wait to see you. I think you owe me a drink. Or, at least that’s the story I’m sticking with.
Reply
Wow, you’re even hairier than my husband. I didn’t think that was possible.
I’d love to come but hubs and I have a full weekend planned. Just be sure to pack warm clothing – it’s supposed to be cold and rainy this weekend – very un-Vegas like weather. Not sure what’s up with that.
Reply
What I would not give to be going to Vegas right now… *sigh*
Have fun!
Reply
Wow, you have really great lips. You’re a better man than my husband. He let me wax the small of his back ONCE and screamed like a girl. That scene from 40 year old virgin was based on him. Have a great and safe trip!
Reply
I’ve never before witnessed a man getting waxed, but I’ve heard the rumors. Thanks for the insight.
