The fine folks at LEO have finally put down their drinks long enough to create a new and improved website -- so now all of our blogs will link directly off the site. This means that I'll be taking this BlogSpot blog down in a week. So just change your Bookmark link to the new link, and we'll resume the party.
Here's the new site: barbelle.leoweekly.com
And remember, we're still working out the kinks ... so don't bitch right away. I've got one use for wine ... and that's for drinking.

Today's Reason To Drink
Found out the other night that chewing Tums does not mask the smell of alcohol on your breath. Go figure.

I hear there's going to be an interesting scene tonight at Fuzion (1335 Story Ave.). They're starting a new DJ night for the ladies. Maybe see you there?

Today's Reason To Drink
Forgot to pack underwear in my gym bag this morning. Doh! I'm only slightly mildly disturbed.

Today's Reason To Drink
Let's make up a drinking game to go along with tonight's debate. What shall it be? Every time Palin says something absolutely ridiculous, take a shot of tequila? If that's the case, you'll be drunk by 8:22.

Today's Reason To Drink
It was just a tad bit too cold this morning to wear sandals ... which is one of the first signs that fall has arrived.
Things to love about fall:
Bloody Marys
Huber Winery's Spiced Apple wine
The smell and crunch of leaves
Football on lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons
New episodes of TV shows
My birthday
Halloween
Bonfires and smores
Flannel sheets and thicker blankets
Long sleeves
Sweatshirts
Hot chocolate with marshmallows
Chili Cookoffs

Today's Reason To Drink
For the record, no one bailed me out when my tab went over $100 at O'Shea's one time. Where was the Federal Bail-Out then?

Ten Commandments of Drinking
BY SARA HAVENS
While last Saturday’s Gettin’ Drunky in Kentucky was a success (read: we think most of the 50 or so walkers made it to Bearno’s in one piece), I violated some major rules when it comes to drinking, causing a week of shame, regret and a sense of overall douchebaginess. So I thought I’d create the Ten Commandments of Drinking so that others will not suffer the same fate. So that others will not awaken to a sent-message folder a mile long. So that others won’t have to look friends in the face and try to explain why they left “Eat a dick!” on their voicemail at 3 a.m. I think these should be posted in every watering hole across the nation. Read and obey, my drinking disciples.
1) Thou shalt have no other texts after midnight.
2) Thou shalt not act a fool in public — which includes but is not limited to foolish dancing (i.e. “The Running Man” or kicking in any fashion), face-chugging those thou hast no relations with and balancing beer bottles on thy head.
3) Thou shalt not take the name of the City Scoot in vain, for City Scoot will get you home without having to waketh up next to a stranger.
4) Remember: beer before liquor never sicker, to keep it holy.
5) Honor thy bartender and thy bouncer.
6) Thou shalt not kill a drink in less than 10 minutes.
7) Thou shalt not commit drunk dialing, even if it’s to friends on the West Coast. Oh, and I guess don’t commit adultery either.
8) Thou shalt not steal someone else’s drink or seat at the bar.
9) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor by speaking on off-limit topics like politics, religion and “Gossip Girl” when in the confines of a bar.
10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s beer, date or general sense of happiness and contentment. But if they’re being loud, thou can slap them.

Tired of dancing by yourself? I tried to get into the groove once but lost my footing.

Today's Reason To Drink
I've never been so happy to see a flashing time on my microwave. Power and stability were restored last night at mi casa ... after seven long days without.

Today's Reason To Drink
I was wondering why I hadn't heard from my friends all week ... then news slowly started to trickle in that last Saturday night while I was highly intoxicated I allegedly went through just about every number in my phone and left weird, sometimes mean, totally random texts and/or voice mails and, in true idiot fashion, ended each one with "Eat a dick." Classy, eh? Oh, and it didn't stop at the phone. Turns out when I got home, I drunk MySpaced and Facebooked.
I have only myself to blame ... and that double shot at Wick's.
Here's to laying low. And begging forgiveness.

Listen up, betch — Kelly dishes out fashion advice
BY SARA HAVENS
shavens@leoweekly.com
I got a few minutes with Kelly, so we had to talk shoes, of course. Here’s a list of 12 — some that suck and some that rule.
Reebok Cross-Trainers: Suck!
Tretorns: Rule!
Old-school Adidas, black and white striped: Rule!
Ironic hipster Nikes that look like they’re from 1984 but were actually made last week in China: Suck! Obvious suck!
Manolo Blahniks: Rule!
Boots with the furrrr: I’ll go with rule!
Jimmy Choos: Rule!
Birkenstocks: Suck! Unless you’re Aunt Susan, then they rule!
High-top pink Converse: Rule!
Jellies: Rule!
Crocs: Suck!
The standard flip-flop: I’m gonna go with rule, only because sometimes that’s all you feel like putting on. Especially at the beach. And the beach rules!
What music do you like?
I like Peaches because she’s rad.
Can I borrow that top?
Absolutely, but I’m not wearing one now.
•••

As your life is spiraling out of control, is it bad that you're watching it from the sidelines while sipping on a glass of Merlot?
