Although Felipe was dressed to the nines and feeling like a million bucks, it didn’t change the fact that fuck off seemed to be written in bright red letters across his forehead. It was about 11:00 PM when he walked out of the club. There was still an hour left before meeting the rest of the clan for the ball drop but in the meantime, the loud music just wasn’t doing it for him. Everyone was happy and excited  to ring in the New Year and maybe to get a shot at doing things differently but as far as Felipe was concerned, nothing would change. This brand new year would most likely bring its fair share of daily grind, partying, one night stands and delusions. Just like the past one. As much as Felipe hated to admit it, it was becoming increasingly obvious that he needed more but didn’t seem to have much luck in that department. His latest attempts had both been nipped in the bud and frankly, it was far from encouraging. And don’t even get him started on finding out what his secret crush did for a living.

He slipped his hands in his pockets as he waited for the valet to come back with his car. He would come back after the ball drop. Having a certain amount of alcohol in his system would help him loosen up and if he was lucky, he would get some action between the sheets and forget about loneliness for a few hours.

I have to admit, it can even melt a heart as cold as mine when a little girl was in with her dad and asked me if I’d ever had to work on Santa’s sleigh before. Of course I played along and said “Of course, Santa gets all his tune-ups done here before the big night”… that earned me the biggest grin you’ve ever seen.

Or at least it was until I handed her dad the bill and he saw my grin.

Is it just me or does all the ‘Santa riding a jet ski’ imagery feel a little bit weird this year? Dressing up cacti like snowmen are one thing, but replacing Rudolph with a Kawasaki is just wrong.

Wait… okay there’s a chance I may have been dreaming about all that stuff last night. Elf on a Shelf is still a real thing though, right?

I know it’s that time of the year and all for it, but I’m a little distressed at just how much eggnog the bar has been going through lately. On its own, great. As a mixed drink, I get it, but I draw the line at eggnog and a White Claw.

And how disappointed are people when they order a Nog-A-Saki and find out it tastes horrible? As it turns out… VERY.

I don’t know about you all, but I’m definitely enjoying the cooler weather right now. It makes things feel much more Christmasy. Which is kind of a tough feat in Vegas– seeing as how it’s the city of lights all year round. Plus I definitely missed my cute scarves and earmuffs.

Anyone planning a holiday party or anything fun?

Deadlines are a nightmare. Normally i’m organised and incredibly excited to be fortunate enough to further my education. Then, like right now, I question every decision I made regarding pursuing a masters degree. In the future, if I talk about a PHD, you all have my permission to slap me.

I think I may be in love.

I went to the shelter today and there was a dog and cat bonded pair that are inseparable and need a forever home! I have always wanted one of each– I mean, since I can’t have every dog and cat in the world. I filled out the adoption papers, so now I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that they pick me. Apparently there were quite a few looking into them. As long as they get a good home, I’ll be happy… but obviously I want that home to be mine. What’s new with everyone?

Not to be extra, but since the hotel is already starting to be decked out with holiday decorations, I feel compelled to put up my Christmas tree. It’s just a small one that I set up in the suite’s window, but it always brightens the place up a bit. Please tell me I’m not the first.

Hi all! So, we’re having a scary movie night in the community hall at the hotel, and I honestly cannot decide which one to show! Opinions, please?? There’s just too many for me to narrow down. What are some of your faves?

M&Ms did it again, ya’ll. They have popcorn flavored candies now. And before you think it’s gross– it’s not like the Jelly Belly beans. Opening the bag did smell just like a bag of popcorn, but the candy itself is just chocolate with like a crispy center. It’s like chocolate-covered popcorn. And I’m already addicted.

I’ve been making a ton of Halloween treats these past few weeks and it’s only the second week of October. I’ve also seen so many people asking for Michael Meyers cupcakes, and I feel like my fingers are now, practically dyed red. So, if anyone’s interested, we’re selling Halloween themed treats.

Am I the only one who thinks that Disney channel’s movies are hit or miss these past few years? Like, yeah I know they’ve always been really cheesy, but it seems like, there have been a better ones these past few years and then there are some that are a total miss.

So please tell me I’m not the only one who’s supposed to be dressing up for Halloween by his workplace, and in search of a costume right? Or that I’m the only one who can’t figure it out with just a couple of weeks to go until the 31st?

Say what you want, but Las Vegas loves a good party. And the more exclusive a party was, the better. Felipe’s pool party might not have been the biggest in the city but Justin was pretty sure from what he was seeing today that it may very well have been the best though. Happy to sit back and watch as dozens of people strolled around in bathing suits and bikinis, happy to show off, he sat on his towel and sipped away at the cocktail in his hands courtesy of the open bar on hand. He figured he might go for a swim later on, but for now he was just happy to not be anywhere near a garage or a car that needed fixing, while the bright sun shone down on him. Glancing around, he smiled up at the nearest person as they tried to tiptoe over and around him; space was starting to get a little low now. “C’mon, pull up a patch of ground here.”

Mack wasn’t all that big on stuff like pool parties. Never had been, imagined they never would be. They were long since comfortable in their own skin, but that didn’t change the association that such events still held, the embarrassment and discomfort from their childhood hanging over their head. However, Mia had promised them Jello shots and the possibility of drunk making out. Which, knowing their roommate, would probably lead to things of a more fun nature if they got to that point. Even still, they didn’t want to be dependent on their roommate for a good time, so, they’d grabbed a drink and took a seat on the edge of the pool, feet in the water. They were wearing a simple tank top and swim trunks that were an obnoxious yellow with cacti on them. “So, besides accidentally burning oneself to a crisp and getting obnoxiously drunk, what is the appeal of these things for you?” Mack asked of the nearest party-goer.

The amount of attendees at the party had grown exponentially over time; needless to say, Felipe’s shindig was a hit. Although Bridget had put plenty of sunblock on throughout the daylight hours, her nose and cheeks still managed to get pink– and eventually, burnt enough to make her freckles really pop. It would probably hurt in the morning, and typically prepared with a comically big bag, the one thing she had forgotten was after sun care. “Any chance you have some aloe vera on you?” She asked with a pleading smile. “I promise I won’t use much of it.”

Sky had been putting in a lot of extra hours at work, thanks to the throngs of tourists that had been visiting the hotel for one last summer trip. Most of the time she didn’t mind; the better the paycheck, the happier she was. However, she was also in need of a break, desperately. Not that she was some crazy party animal, but Sky was brimming to have a little fun. Felipe’s party had been the perfect solution to her problem. Now, if only she could find a place to lay out and get some extra sun. Spotting an empty lounge chair in the corner, Sky grabbed her towel and tried to claim it before anyone else could. “Is anyone using this?” She asked her fellow party-goer on the chair next to it. “If so, I might just fight ‘em for it.”
