Yes, you read that right. I’m a Vegas virgin.
And yes, I know you’re ultra confused how a gal who loves any and all things gaudy, sequined, shiny, fuchsia, leopard, sparkly (you get the picture) could have lived a life thus far without visiting my potential mothership of a city. Well, wonder no more because I’ll be gracing Vegas with my prescence later this afternoon!
The hardest part about preparing to travel to Las Vegas was deciding which pieces of my always flamboyant wardrobe would be accompanying me.
How much gaudy is too much?
Good thing I have my trusty sidekick, Ted, who helped me narrow down my sequins.
He leaned toward the pink. Surprised?
But Tedstar was beyond disgusted to see that I was packing my Aunt Nancy’s 1960s white mini dress – you know, just in case I meet Mr. Right Now and decide to get hitched after knowing someone all of one day in Vegas (I mean, it can happen, right?).
Mr. Bear was so disgusted, he refused to move off of the white garment.
Then the little love of my life laid down on my wedding mini, staking his claim by rubbing his scent and dark fur all over the place.
She’s MINE.
Of course after all of 14 minutes of helping me choose attire and throwing a tantrum over non-existent wedding bells, Teddy was exhausted.
Surrendered to sleep.
Keep your fingers crossed that all of my bling makes it through airport security and that I don’t bring a Mr. CBXB back to Nashville with me.
Look out Vegas, here I come!

Haha, we seriously expect to see one of those ‘creepy Ted waiting by the door, as you try to sneak back into your house’ pic … or are you saving that for Halloween? LMAO! So glad you got a chance to visit one of our favorite cities! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
XOXO Nensi & Natasha
Oh speedy is not on my side! And Ted was like a ninja when I tried to sneak past him at 2am on Monday night (work on Tuesday was a blast). Thanks for all of your helpful Vegas advice ladies! XO
Not nearly enough sequins fyi!
Although I have a sneaking suspicion (holy parental flashback phrase) that you dressed the part just fine!!!
DYING for stories….
The stories are on there way – I’m trying to round up brain cells that still remain after my four day binge of bling, cocktails and shenanigans!
I suppose your back home by now? Hope you had fun down on the Strip. We don’t go there but once a month for an eve drive. Hey, my admin panel somehow got a radio box ticked that stopped updates being delivered to me from my blog buddies. Sucks! Was wondering what the heck happened. Don’t do anything naughty down there… 😉
How could one NOT be naughty in Vegas?! I’m back and in deep recovery with Mr. Bear. I had all of the kinds of fun you’re supposed to while I was there!
Aaawww! Ted is so adorable; he doesn’t want mommy to go.
He didn’t want me to go and typically is such a baby when I return – you know, ignoring me in cat fashion, making me ‘pay’ for being gone. But he was a stage 1 clinger when I got home last night (which made this mama one happy lady!).
Based on IG photo updates I know you are having fun! Cant wait to read more about your trip!
Oh Girl…..! Vegas is trouble for me and I do have many updates to share, as I’m sure you could tell from IG. 🙂
I know you’ll have a fab time so looking forward to seeing the pics; Tedstar has nothing to worry he’ll ALWAYS be your best boy
You’re right about Tedstar always being my best boy. Although there was this British guy…..!
Teddy is so adorable and have a great time there:) !
Thank you – I think Teddy is pretty adorable myself (and so does he)! Vegas was fabulous but I am so tired and in recovery from all of the fun!
Have a great time! I’m sure you’ll love Vegas!
Oh MM! It was AH. MAZ. ING! I can’t believe I’d never been there but it will certainly be one of my fave places to visit from here on out!
Love Love Love VEGAS! It’s my favorite place to party at. Been there many times. Make sure you take a bunch of porn cards, or as I call them “Slapper Cards”. You’ll see. They are great to throw around at parties and embarrass your friends!
Dress wild, have fun, party hard! Remember, what happens in Vegas….
Oh boy…Vegas is now my favorite place to party, too! My hands are shaking as I type this comment (I’d like to say from lack of sleep but I think I’m in major alcohol DT)…I didn’t collect too many Slapper Cards this time around, so I’ll start my collection during my next trip. And there will be a next trip!! 🙂
OMG! Hard to believe you’ve never been to Vegas. Hubby’s family has a tradition that everyone goes when someone turns 21…that included me. I had a blast…fell in love with craps. My bio-father actually lives out there, but I don’t really go to visit him. Trips to the Vegas are all for me.
Oh Girl. Sounds like your hubby’s fam is my kind of people! Vegas for 21st birthdays? That’s a tradition I’d love to start with my clan! And, Vegas lived up to every expectation I had and then some! Although, I can barely keep my eyes open here at work today…
LOL! Yeah. Vegas is not a place to catch up on your zzzz’s.
Oh hells no. I think I got a whopping four hours of sleep in the four days I was there. Although WELL worth the lack of zzzz’s!
