Last night six of us piled into a mini van to go to see Def Leppard, Poison and Cheap Trick...
As we drove into the venue we noticed we were six aging adults drinking coffee to stay awake past 9:00 pm on a weekend in a MINI VAN! I find it so comical..
We saw people our age, older and a lot younger rocking out to Def Leppard...
some women bringing out their denim jackets with concert pins, huge hair and a lota makeup... I dressed like that in the 80's!! I thought it was cute till I saw it again and all I can say is "what hell was I thinking" hahaha
We had lawn seating, which means no chairs, blanket only on the ground. After a 15 minute walk from the mini van to the lawn in high heel boots, the lawn was a beautiful sight. I sat down took off my boots and caught my breath. I was sore from working out that day and by that time I was done.. I was not gonna move again... but then came the beer guy... 5 beers later... no pain!
Watching these men perform was odd... They don't look like they used to, I forget that rock stars age also... They all sounded pretty good, I had to use binoculars to see them because I'm blind even with glasses... I gave up staring through the eye piece and decided to dance with the crowd... Did you know that when you move after drinking it starts kicking in more and more??
Good time....Then came the time to leave... to take a 15 minute hike up a gravel walk space in boots, blister on my heel, not drunk but tipsy that my balance was not perfect. I tripped on a larger rock and ripped my jeans and my knee... I realized at that moment... I am too old to go to a concert and vowed to never try this again....
By the time I got home my knee was a bloody mess. Bending over to take off my jeans so I could tend to my concert wound I noticed red dots on the floor, looked in the mirror and saw blood coming from my nose... haha...
Picture and older woman, sore and tired from a concert, wounded and sleepy... I had a tissue hanging from my nose and one on my knee.. my husband got a kick outa the site..
Nap time....
I don't understand women. I don't understand women and their penchant for shoes, handbags and other fashion accessories. I mean what would impel a woman to wear high-heeled boots to an outdoor concert? Or to an indoor concert for that matter. I know I'm a fashion neanderthal but I think they do it because of other women - not to impress men. I mean men did invent the high-heeled shoe to raise the rear ends of ladies so they could ogle them. I get that but that was decades ago before feminism and equal rights for women. Now it's more competitive from a fashion sense to try to outdo other women or to "keep up" with the Jones' or because of advice from Cosmo or Elle or other female mags. But still ladies would be more at ease and a heckuva lot less grumpy if they only wore comfortable shoes. Plus they would havr a tendency to fall less often if they weren't teetering precariously on something a little less sturdy than a golf tee. I'm only saying.....
ReplyDeleteVick: take care of your bloody knee and your painful blister and remember that high-heeled footwear should only be worn by the true professionals - strippers, hookers and porn stars. They wear their 6 inch stiletto clear heels for work purposes only - and their butts are already naked almost all the time! I find them using high heels a little silly though - I mean they are already showing everything a man could want to see, right? I glad you enjoyed the concert - and I think you will go again when you realize you just want to be comfortable and have a good time. Love, Mike
P.S. I should start an advice column for ladies, right?
You might be onto something, Mike...
