Hahaha. I love this photo. Look at the glee and excitement on everyone's face as Alysha and her friend get ready to square off (after a bunch of good-natured shit-talking). Yoni's totally cheering them on!
...but couldn't pin her! Look at the size of his bicep and Nicole is just totally relaxed and smiling. That's her ultimate weapon - to just stand there smiling and unfazed while guy's try their hardest pin her. Hahaha.
In the summer of 2008, word of Nicole's freakish strength had spread through Manhattan like wildfire and each night scores of gentlemen were lining up to see if they were man enough to pin her! Lefty (who was arm wrestling with his right hand?) went first! I think he came really close...
The timestamp on this photo says 4:06am. The bar is closed and the gates are down. With all that squared away, that meant it was time for AFTERHOURS ARM WRESTLING!
Check out the totally legit interlocking hand-grib on the bar. This ain't no joke, sheeee-it. Also, please note Nicole's expression as she summons the extra bit of power necessary to TAKE HIM OVER THE TOP! UNNNGGGGHHHH!
The worst part is when you'll be totally trying your hardest to pin her arm and it'll look like she's trying really hard to resist, and then all of a sudden she'll turn and start having a casual conversation with folks at the bar (or worse, start pouring drinks which I've also seen her do). So god-damn funny.
Hahaha. TRICK SHOT! I also love how this photo makes her look like she only has one leg. (I'm writing this two years later and she's married with a baby! Congrats, Nicole!)
We got to Hanger Bar around 3:30 and it was really nice and mellow. So I ended up playing pool with Nicole. Nicole is the arm-wrestling, shit-talking bartender at Hanger Bar. She totally acts like a big sister that's always trying to boss you around. After having failed to beat her at arm wrestling a few weeks prior (it was a tie!) she told me that she could beat me at pool and so it was on. TRICK SHOTS ONLY!
