pink elephants

carrot creationJen and Marie arrived at the La Belle Vie lounge promptly at 6pm. They were there for a good cause: Pink Elephants, an animal charity event. The night slowly unfolded after 1, 2, make it 3 drinks. Some exceptional vegetarian dishes (creation of Tim McKee himself) were consumed, new friends were made and exquisite conversations were had. Here are a few memorable moments from what is believed to be the founding night of La Booze Vie.

There’s no shame in going back to the bar for a third drink.

- Marie, said with sultry undertones. Note: she really meant “transparent” not “clairvoyant”

Would you shut the fuck up.
- Peter (old man with cane) to Marie, trying to get Jen’s number … and he got it!
