Maile and Me

I am so happy that I was able to spend last Monday with my DG sister Maile! And boy was it a great day for us! Maile met me at my room- and I took her on my special uptown tour of "see as much as possible and walk as much as possible." The starting rate is 'keep me company' and goes all the way to 'lets have a great time.' I don't ask much for payment of my tours- usually because I get company and that's just fine with me.

But before you read any further- I MUST tell you the craziest moment Maile and I experienced in Times Square. There are tons of characters walking around times square- Buzz and Woody, Batman, Statue of Liberty (well 2 of them...) you get the picture- the ones from Disneyland.. Well we were passing Minnie Mouse and all of a sudden Minnie lifts her head piece, throws up, and just walks away. About 15 people must have all seen it- and we all stood there in shock, thinking "did that really just happen." Com'on Minnie- there are kids everywhere. I will never have the same idea of Minnie Mouse anymore- she hit an all time low that morning, Sunday night must have been too much fun for her..


The one thing Maile wanted to really do was see M&M world... When she first told me that I was like "out of all of New York City you want to see M&M world." Now I fully understand why she wanted to see it. It was like being a kid in a candy store- well it was LITERALLY that. We were children in a giant chocolate candy store. The walls were lined with chocolate, there were giant M&M statues everywhere, and even some interactive games. And yes we waited behind 4 year olds to do some of the activities. Maile and I got to also figure out what color mood we are- she got pink, I got MEGA MIX. I was very proud of that. It states that I "believe too much of a good thing is a better thing" and I believe that is a true statement.














The next stop on the grand NYC tour was to wander around Times Square- we did run into someone special. Someone I didn't see the first time while I was in the square... Ahhhhhh the infamous Naked Cowboy. Well he wasn't naked.. and he was a tad creepy- but what to do you expect when for a living he plays a guitar in tidy-whities, boots and a hat. Yep saw him, got a photo, and then walked away as fast as we could.






Oh we also stopped at another important landmark in NYC.... David and Busters also known as D&B which I just shorten to DB. Shout out to Slo and Sean for giving me a nickname!  















Maile and I then made our way to Central Park, and causally strolled around- people watched and probably got got watched by other people. People always talk about how they love to people watch- being in New York I wonder if people talk about me when I'm out and about... Like oh goodness there goes a wannabe New Yorker...
Well we made our through The Mall, and to the back side of the boat house. These two nice Australian ladies took our photo- we made small talk about where we were from- One of the Aussies said that they were on Holiday- so of course I ask "oh what Holiday are you celebrating" WOW. everyone looked at me like that dumb american. So if you hear an Australian talking about their holiday- they just mean summer break...


Hitting an embarrassing low with the Australians, we ventured back to the Chelsea area, but not before stopping at Abercrombie&Fitch. I know they have been all over the media with not making plus size clothing and such- and I am not on-board with their company beliefs- but one thing I do agree with is when they have a male model standing in front of his blown up photo waiting to take Polaroids with him. I mean when in New York..














so this is our male model friend we made. and yes we made him salute.
