The Fine Art of Blah Blah Blah (blog)

Post By:Sir F

Well what do we have here? A blog for those who have been put on public display and have had the floodgates of strange and unusual e-mails thrust upon us! Ok, maybe not thrust since we willingly (just barely for some) took part in the Time Out New York feature. Wait... I just typed thrust and avoided an easy sexual innuendo. Wait...scratch that. There I go again. Why, hello ladies!

Lame.

OK, moving on...

I'm happy to be contributing to this blog. I met these lovely ladies at the TONY mixer and clicked instantly with them (at least I thought so). These women are awesome and deserve some bitchin' dudes to date them (yes, I talk like this).

So far I've received about 20 e-mails, which blows my mind considering I didn't hide my love for Ghostbusters, Gremlins and mid-90's Winona Ryder. I would say about 80% of the e-mails were pretty wacky. It doesn't surprise me since I put my "geekiness" out there on the table. There might be a fine line between geeky and "geeky", but that line is there. I don't think there's a train that goes to Middle-earth, ya dig? High Five! I'm an ass.

I'm new to this whole online dating thing, but shouldn't it be common knowledge to send a picture with an e-mail? And on top of that, wouldn't you want to find the most flattering or semi-flattering picture of yourself? A friend of mine told me that sending a picture with an e-mail is much like if you were at a bar and someone approached you. As much as you'd like to think you're not shallow, you do size up and know if this person is appealing to you or not and if you want to spend time getting to know that person. It's awkward for all involved if you end up sending a picture later only to not have that person respond back after initial correspondence. It just saves time and hassle. That's really all I have to say on that.

I have my first "date" tomorrow night. More of a meet up. Just a friendly chat. I will post about it on Friday.

Glad to be here. Hope I didn't come off as a giant jerk. I'm only slightly awful (ask my kids I abandoned).

Happy Dating, Friends! Please don't die!

The Time Out New York Singles Party was this past Monday. 

My mom vetoed my dress, and actually went out and bought me a new one while i was in paperlandia

 (one which not only showed a 'healthy about of decollete but also my back tattoo :)

 paired it with beige fishnets and red round toe pumps i put on my red rouge and headed out.

when i got to the location and saw i had to wait in line,my nerves went b-a-n-a-n-a-s: not a good sign.

walking down into the location was like walking into my worst nightmare. a meat market. did i mention my 'girls were on display? ok it may have not been that bad, but i am getting old and prefer dive bars or coffee shops, or home.

i waited for Lady N to make it in, and made my way over to coat check.  it was a sea of people.instantly i started to hate myself for doing this. i met some kick ass singles who decided to wall flower it with me.

i spent most of my time nursing 'holy waters'- vodka-soda-limes. Chatted with two boys at the end of the bar, chatted with Judah Friedlander, mad cool persona-he was wall flowering it over by the bathrooms. and then i chatted with Sir F. he is another single, and i recognized him as one that Lady M noted seemed cool. 

well in real life Sir F is cool. he had ladies swarming around him. when i got to steal a moment with him, i confessed that i would rather be at home in bed reading my book. he agreed. 

i forced him to stay with me while i drank my last drink(there) and we chatted more, muisca-texas-vida. mad cool-cat.

we left and joined Lady N and Lady B(another single) for more drinks and wings.

trained it home, and like the beautiful disaster that i am i managed to mess my room up in record timing. 

it was not the best experience mainly because it was soo packed and so meat market like.

but meeting Sir F was fabulous.

So with that said: Sir F will be joining us here, and giving us a males perspective. i also hope to pick his brain on what i should and should not be saying to males. i think i tend to say inappropriate things, he may be able to help me with this.

back to painting my toenails. 

"whose that girl?? ohhh and who is that boy??????"

Post By:Lady A, Lady N, Lady M & Sir F

Who are we you ask?

Lady A:

My style in 10 words or less:
Rockabilly-Housewife meets sophisticated goth. Sucker for garters/stockings and heels!

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Making adventures out of every day events.

About me:
I am a lil ball of happy energy. An insomniac that loves sleep. Way too sarcastic for my own good. I strive to be a mix of Martha Stewart/Frida Kahlo/Bettie Page. I check out books from the library & watch PBS. I like holding hands and laughing so hard I snort. I want someone who doesn't play games, unless the game is scrabble. Not into showy flashy guys, BUT I do enjoy good manners and non-picky eaters

Lady N:

My style in 10 words or less:

Contradicting. Edgy and girly

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:

Glass is half empty. Bartender, can I have another?

About me:
I’m pretty goofy, read a lot of books, swim every day, and have a weak spot for online shopping and dirty martinis. I have a tendency to say inappropriate things at the dinner table. I’m really great at doing imitations of people. I never know the words to any songs. Looking for someone who has a sarcastic sense of humor and isn’t afraid to bust my balls and call me out on my bullshit.

Lady M:
My style in 10 words or less:
A punk rock femme inteligista who enjoys whisky, vinyl, and leather jackets.

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Live fast, and leave your inhibitions at the door.

About me:
I’m not your run of the average NYC girl clone. I like spending my nights rummaging through record collections and watching old movies. I’m that chick you call up when you want to take a last minute road trip to Graceland at 3am. I like books and I’m not talking about Oprah’s book club picks either. B- horror movies and funny guys melt my heart and if they dance even better.

AND

Sir F:

My style in 10 words or less:
laid-back but not borderline homeless chic

My outlook on life in 10 words or less:
Everything happens for a reason. Life’s what you make it.

About me:
I’m pretty laid-back and easygoing. I study and perform improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and around town. A great sense of humor is important. Ghost Busters and Gremlins are the two greatest films ever made. Believe it. What am I ideally looking for? Winona Ryder. Circa ’94–’95. Let’s see if this works. They make time machines, right?

*heart, 

Your ladies AND gentleman

Lady A, Lady N, Lady M and Sir F 

Welcome!

Hi! welcome to a blog about dating in the Big Apple!

This site is under construction, so forgive the plain appearance. 

Myself and the Co-Author to this blog have decided to take a lil time out and share with you the adventures we are about to begin in NYC dating.

It is not just your run of the mill dates, and getting picked up. But the process in which it will be occurring. 

We both decided to partake in a certain NYC publications ode to the singles issue. I will reveal all details in a later post. 

I hope to expand this to more singles to share their lovely & horror stories. 

so many thanks for reading, we promise to make you laugh and cry, and laugh some more. 

thanks for reading!
