About Last Night...
Okay, it was Saturday night, and apparently what happens in Reno does not stay in Reno.
And the award for bad taste goes to RWA... Celebrating 25 years... yes, I think a 25 years in review was a cute idea, even liked the eighties fashion show (the first limo). Would have been better if the Frankie Says Relax t-shirt wasn't worn by the 1990 presenter, but hey, I'm picky- it was my fave shirt in seventh grade (which would have been '84 ish if you're wondering). I thought the romantic Princess Di wedding stuff was about as icky as showing John Jr. waving from his plane (no, they didn't do that, I'm just making a point). Celebrating women- hmm, let's see- we had Monica Lewinsky, Lorena Bobbitt, Tonya Harding... but no Amy Fisher??!! And what about that lady who drowned her kids, where was she? Yes, it was that depressing- but if we just slap on a Bobby McFerrin song, no one will notice, right? If I didn't know better, I might have thought this was done on purpose- a really, bad attempt at an indy Michael Moore-esq comedy noir attempt. But this will never play at Sundance, and yes should not have played at Reno. But, even as icky as it all was, I was more irritated by my feet throbbing after the two mile hike in three inch heels through the casino we were forced to go on.
Am I naïve in giving these people the benefit of the doubt? I mean, really, after the last scandal- the two people in love question- or the one before that- the graphical standards thing, or before that… I don’t know, I just joined, but it seems like a lot of stupidity for such a short time.
For more entertaining Reno moments: Stoney the cop and the Sombrero... can be seen here. Shortly after/during a sweet little soccer Mom showed up with Sex on the Beach shots and things got crazy.
