Pantless Mannequins

so the last couple days have been a bit slower, which is nice, although the go go go is nice too.

Monday everyone else was working except me... I'll keep my feelings to myself. I stayed at the Villa all afternoon. I went for a trek from the top of the Villa towards the Croisette. I was almost there. but nothing was open, which is strange because the siesta is from 12-2pm, but it was after 2. So I was bored from not being able to find a cafe. I ended up getting blisters on my big toes from wearing my sandals that I've been wearing for the last 4 years. Odd.

By the time everyone made it back to the Villa, I had slept out of boredom, and since I was alone I sulked like a child, which made me grumpy. I did some shopping. It was great. We ate, it wasn't so great. We headed back to the Villa.

I went out to Cozy Box with T. I bought the most expensive highballs of my life. If guys are cheap in Saskatoon, they have yet to come to Europe. And those f***ers who don't tip. If they knew what people were paying out here, they would be a little less cheap. So no, I'm not missing a**holes from Saskatoon who think they're the s*** who treat you like s*** and don't tip. The best part was the "addition" on the bill, which was a thin slice of lemon was 3 eros. I'm sorry but that whole lemon may have cost a whole 3 euros. I'm not complaining, it's just the logic of the whole thing. It doesn't make sense. I had a lot of fun at Cozy Box. T and I made fun of this guy dancing. Oh em gee. I should have video taped him. It was hilarious. Even his friends were leaning away from him. It makes me think of Nicole S. from high school and when she used to say "would you be my friend if..." she did this or looked like that. I always told her I would not be her friend if she has no upper lip, if she had a physical disability and so on. I can't remember if I meant it or not. I bet I meant it. I learned to distinguish between a tosser, a c*** which is for men and a plonker. The DJ according to T was a c*** for his bad taste in music. His hair was also a topic of conversation. The DJ played Robbie Williams which made us leave the place.

We sauntered over to Rudie where E and R were eating pizza. They left for some giant yacht party for someone who works for Microsoft. We hung out with Rudie then went back to the Villa. I got a personal tour of Old Cannes. It was quite the view. I saw an old Church which was huge. I got to see the port and all the varying size boats. I learned a thing or two about Saudi princesses and the boat load of people that come with them. I got tired, so I came back to the Villa to sleep.

In the afternoon we took a look at the venue for the Blue Valentine party. The weather has been awesome, unlike last week when we went to the Hotel du Palais to Nikki Beach Sky Lounge on the fifth floor. While we grabbed a bite to eat, Ryan Gosling came up to do something or other. After Palais, we went shopping. In a sunglasses shop we saw Jennifer Hudson looking mega thin and tall with only one other guy who tried to distract people by carrying a big camera around his neck to divert being noticed. her disguise worked for her. I'd like to buy a whole bunch of souvenirs but limited to space and weight and I'm so not paying a 100 euro for my bag being over. I know the Canadian airlines would tell me to take stuff out and I'm definitely not leaving anything behind. We picked up some birthday cakes from Jean Pele with these delicious macarons and other expensive desserts and chocolates. Headed back to the Sky Lounge to drop off the cakes. Headed to some place for supper where I ate pizza for the umpteenth time. All I think about is all that starch and cheese. Which surprisingly has not given me a stomach ache. I think it's Saskatoon. Just like how nice my skin is now, unlike Saskatoon where my skin is awful. I think Saskatoon is generally bad for my health. I can't explain it. Is it because it's dry? Honestly. I wish I knew.

We came back to the Villa to take a bit of break before going back to the Blue Valentine party. We got there, the place was 3/4 done up. To bring the title in, J and I had to dress manequins in Belstaff clothing. It was bit of a task since we had to assemble them and then dress them. I'm so glad I don't work clothing retail. Its a real pain in the ass. We completed the task, but we couldn't find any pants for the two plastic gentleman, so we left than sans les pantalons. We made it downstairs to check people into the party which was a gong show. The Weinstein people were sort of nice, but have listening skills of 13 year olds. trying to explain the simplest method for making it work to the security and Y and J was honestly a pain. We finally had it all settled. Working the only door which was basically a hallway that leads to the only elevators that go to the 5th floor which is the roof top where the Sky Lounge is. Once we got a handle on the whole thing, it was easy. We watched the talent come in. Michelle Williams came in first. She was a whole lot taller than I expected her to be. She's super thin, elegant and something else. Her dress was beautiful. And then Ryan Gosling came after her. About 4o minutes into the party Rachel Bilson came in and I got to put a wristband on her. She's super cute, and tiny and really nice. At that point my night was made.

I stayed at the door for majority of the night. We had food brought down to us which people gladly helped themselves. This one git ate finished the whole plate- shamelessly. Loser. When I got upstairs all the talent had left. I mingled some. Then we took down the mannequins. Which had some pants on. Is what the hot spot for being hit on. Some guy younger than me told us we were killing men and that we should kill real men and take off real men's clothes. And then after that it was a handful of other guys hitting on us enjoying the spectacle of declothing the mannequins.

We left, got some pizza, which I did not eat. I don't know if I want to eat another pizza. And then I slept in until 1 pm because I was too lazy to get up and shower. Tonight though, I'm pretty excited to go to Le Baoli and see David Guetta spin.

After tonight, its going to get a whole lot slower and I'm hoping I can catch at least one film, but its looking doubtful.
