I had my Bachelorette Party or Hen's Night (as they refer to it in Australia) on November 18, 2011. Eventhough it was kinda early, my friends decided to throw me a Bachelorette Party while we were all still living in Australia. The party was hosted by my best friend who I met in vet school, Jess, and was a Jersey Shore theme (my favorite guilty pleasure show). The group was mostly vet school friends, but was also attended by my younger sister, Bre (who travelled all the way from the US to attend), and one of my future sisters-in-law, Chrissie. It was very much a traditional bachelorette party--drinks, limo ride, male dancers, and dancing--and it was fantastic. So without further ado, here are some embarrassing photos (I've tried to select photos with the minimal amount of phallus imagery)
To get in the "jersey" spirit, Jess, Bre and I started the day by getting our first spray tans. For someone that has the typical redhead complexion and can never tan (I'm excellent at burning or freckling though), it was quite a novel experience. We got a brand of spray tans that develop in only 3 hours, so it let us get tan quickly and lasted roughly a week. Bre took a photo of me to see how the tan would show up in photos while I was cuddling my bunny, Archie
The girls then arrived at my apartment for drinks and appetizers:
A hummer limo then came to pick us up to drive us around the city. More drinks were had and some very bad karaoke sung.
The limo dropped us off at Collars and Cuffs. I found the show to be absolutely hilarious--I don't think it's meant to be, but there's just something about a guy doing pelvic thrusts in a construction costume that makes me giggle. One of the dancers actually came over to our table to talk before the show, and of course, everyone had to get a drink at that point so I was left alone to make conversation. Let me just say... very awkward

I think I ended up asking about the characters he plays during the show, and what motivated him to get into that particular profession... I know, smooth...haha.
Jess and I also showed off a few of our pole dancing moves that we had learned when we took a pole fitness class together. Unfortunately, Jess fell on top of me right after we took that photo
We finished off the night at one of our favorite bars. We had a blast dancing as a group and taking funny photos with the random guys that came up to us, e.g.
Overall, it was a fabulous night out with the ladies... The next day, however, nightmare hangover!!!!
