On Wednesday night a whole bunch of us went over to Ellen Stagg's apartment for her annual Secret Santa party! Here's Katie and Ellen getting ready to kick off the gift giving!
Our friend Ellen Stagg got hired to shoot the holiday billboards for Viacom's headquarters in Time Square and she asked if Meredith and I wanted to model for it! She explained that we'd just have to show up and kiss a bunch of times and that if we were chosen, our smoochin' photo would end up on a huge billboard in Times Square (and we'd get paid!) So of COURSE we went. Here's Katie doing Meredith's makeup for the shoot!
On Sunday night, the gang came over to our apartment to play some Cranium. Siege got a "Sense-o-sketch" question (that's where you have to draw with your eyes closed) and made the mistake of blindfolding himself with his own hat! An action that left him vulnerable to...
Next stop on the "It's Siege's Birthday!" party train? Pumps! (For those of you not in the know, Pumps is a shady-ass biker-gang n00dy bar out in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The people at the bar aren't typically too welcoming to "outsiders," but they tolerated us because we showed up with a whole bunch of girls who were all willing to get up on stage and dance! Hahah. Here's Ellen and Katie up on THA POLE!
Here's a group shot of a whole bunch of us waiting for a car service to show up to take us to the "next location!" By the way, what's that Nina's doing to KT over there in the corner?
...The "Happy Birthday Katie Sparkler Celebration!" Which is where all the girls at the party waved their sparklers around, danced, wished Katie a happy birthday and made lots of "WOOOOOOOO!" sounds.
Katie came out to greet us in all her white-trash glory and while Siege was busy being surprised by all his guests, Grant and I snuck off to the bathroom so that we could don our own...
After leaving Jenny and Jamie's party, we hit the street to meet up with Siege, Katie and Amanda and head to John and Terri's apartment right on the water to watch the fireworks from the rooftop. But not before we had a quick in-between cars...
Later that evening, I met up with Siege and Katie in Greenwich Village for a lil' dinner celebrating Siege's birthday (this one for the people that weren't able to attend the his Stripper Birthday party at good ol' Pumps in Brooklyn).
Rowr! Sexy! About 12 seconds after this photo was taken, we watch three huge bouncer drag a shirt-less, shoeless, bleeding-from-the-mouth man, out of the bar by his legs and throw him into the street. He limped to payphone on the corner and called 911 while the bar quietly ushered out some scary bikers that had apparently beat the shit out of him from inappropriately groping one of the girls (Good thing he didn't have a digicam on him!)
Several hours (and a hefty stack of Mr. Washingtons) later, we headed outside and called a taxi company to come get us. Here's Katie, Cynthia and Dahlia smoking (in the luxurious bare-cinderblock entryway).
After the screening, I headed back into Brooklyn to celebrate Siege's birthday! (Grant cried about being tired from moving all day and went home leaving me to go alone). Here's Katie and the birthday boy unwrapping presents at the Greenpoint Tavern.
When Siege leaves his little "SiegeLair," you know something special's going on. Here's the legend in the flesh with Cynthia and Katie. You don't even want to know where that finger's been...but more on that later.
