lorelei
Bye, guys! Thanks for having us! Hope to see you again soon!
lorelei
...take a group picture with the auto timer! Perfect!
lorelei
...for brunch with Em & Lo and Rob & Joe. (Ha!) Here's Lorelei, Joey & Elliette! The last time I'd seen them was back in January 2008 back when Elliette was a tiny baby and...
lorelei
That's right! It's Joey and Lorelei with their recently-arrived munchkin, Elliette. Hahaha. This pics makes me smile every time I see it.
lorelei
On Tuesday night I went to Greenwich Village to see Em & Lo knocked up at the same time! Check out the dual-preggo action! These two do everything together. So awesome! With proud fathers-to-be Rob and Joey, respectively. Congrats, you guys!
lorelei
There's a baby in there! Babies grow in ladies!
lorelei
On Tuesday night I went over to the Hotel on Rivington to celebrate the release of one of Em & Lo's new books. And Lo licked my face.
lorelei
I was sort of peeved at the time, but now that I look back at these photos and see you straight-up chugging bottles of Bud Light I remember "Oh yeah, it was THAT kind of night!" and all is forgiven. Hahaha.
lorelei
Here's Joey doing the ol' "I can't believe Lorelei ripped open your shirt" routine.
lorelei
Hi, can you tell that we're all a teeeeeny bit drunk?
lorelei
Hahahah. Here's Lorelei and Becky's reaction to me telling them that the band was willing to let me sing with them! Hahaha.
lorelei
Joey, Jack and Lorelei!
lorelei
Bridesmaids! Lorelei (the "Lo" half of the "Em & Lo"), Hannah, Becky (the third Taylor sister!) and Emma.
lorelei
Lorelei the Sexpert likely trying to ply some sex tips from Brandon the International Playboy (who you may remember as our host through parts of Eastern Europe !)
lorelei
Then later that night I met up with Rob, Emma, Nina, Lorelei and a ton of other people to head over to the Sunburnt Cow to celebrate...
lorelei
Lorelei and I doing another duet. (Girl, where you been? We're so overdue for a karaoke date).
lorelei
Lo enjoys my schweaty face.
lorelei
Hahahah. Something tells me this might have been "Paradise By the Dashboard Lights."
lorelei
Lorelei and I kicked off the festivities with a duet. (By the way, I'm writing these caption in May of 2005, almost a year later so I pretty much have no idea what song anyone was singing in these pics).
lorelei
Em & Lo
lorelei
Carol, Rachel, Lorelei, Emma and Nina.
lorelei
Lorelei and Nina.
lorelei
Lorelei, Bibs and me.
lorelei
Grant and Lo.
lorelei
On Wednesday we all met up at the Sunburnt Cow to celebrate Emma Taylor's birthday! Here's Lo (showing off some of the birthday girl's goodies) and Em.
lorelei
After the big show, we all headed over to Winnie's in Chinatown (Hey, remember when Lo had her bday party here?) and sang some seriously ghetto-ass karaoke.
lorelei
On Friday night I met up with Nina, Joey, Lo, Emma and Allison (Lo's lil' sister) in the Lower East Side...
lorelei
And hey, no book party would be complete without a fifteen-person grand finale version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
lorelei
Lo making the best face ever.
lorelei
The authors on the mic!
lorelei
You have to be careful getting this close to Lo when she's been drinking - most of the time you'll just get your face licked, but if she's feeling vindictive, she give you a hickey that'll make it look like you survived a hanging (thanks Meredith!) before you even realize what she's up to.
lorelei
Lo on the other hand...she ain't got nothing but love for the titty.
lorelei
...standing on my couch so he could jump up and hang from my apartment's fire sprinkler pipes. Holy worst idea ever, Batman! I managed to snap a pic for posterity before screaming at him to "get the fuck down from there, you lunatic!" (Mke D. has no recollection of this).
lorelei
Jamie, Lo, Jenny, Frank, Colin, Fatty's hair and Emma.
lorelei
Lo and me doing a duet.
lorelei
Lorelei, Em and Sarah.
lorelei
Later that night, I hung out with Em & Lo.

This skit is fucking hilarious. Em & Lo dressed up as flight attendends welcoming the audience to Anal Airways.

Lo demonstrates the optimal 90 degree angle for objects that penetrate deeper than 4" inches into the bum.
lorelei
We got to the bar almost on time only to discover that the entire front of the bar is one big plate-glass window - which sorta ruined the surprise factor. So as soon as Grant passed the window, the jig was up. Here's Zara, Grant, Lo and Jordana (who came was in town from LA visiting her in-laws in the deerrrrrrty Jerz).
lorelei
Awwwwwww, best pic ever. Emily, Emma, Lorelei and Grant.
lorelei
Emily, Emma, Lo and Grant. (Down in the karaoke basement of Nolita Tavern).
lorelei
Grant and Lo (what were you guys singing, either of you remember?)
lorelei
Em & Lo! (Emma's really good at hiding behind the microphone).
lorelei
Emma, Grant, Lorelei and myself started the night out getting our free drink on at a party celebrating the opening of Toys in Babeland's new Soho store.
lorelei
Em and Lo on backup.
lorelei
After a few aspirin and several liters of water *whew*, we hopped in the car and drove out to Ross & Jordana's house in the valley where we also met up with Emma Taylor and Lorelei Sharkey who were in LA for two days as part of their book tour.
lorelei
Goodbye lovelies! See you in September!
lorelei
On Friday night I went over the Blu on Avenue C to wish farewell to Em & Lo who were leaving the next morning for their eight week, cross-country tour to promote their book that had just come out.
lorelei
Mmmmmmmm! Hair Ash! Happy Birthday, Emma! Can't wait to see what happens next year!
lorelei
Emma leaned down laughing and put her hair right into a candle that was lit on the table. I was torn between putting it out (which I did) or firing up the cam and getting a pic of her aflame.
lorelei
Jack Wright finds himself on the business end of two-girl head-scratch.
lorelei
Me and Lorelei (I love this photo).
lorelei
Lo, Grant, Emma (pulling her patented "I'm pretty drunk" face) and me.
lorelei
Once Emma got back out of her birthday suit, it was time for birthday doughnuts!
lorelei
Even our new Chinese friend wasn't fooled by their clever subterfuge.
lorelei
Props from the birthday girl.
lorelei
Em & Lo doing another duet.
lorelei
Em & Lo teamed up to sing a duet.
lorelei
Mike, Emma, Tookie (showing her favorite number - Yay five!), a guy I don't know and Lo.
lorelei
Mike looks like he's doing "the hustle" in the photo.
lorelei
lorelei
Lo and I warmed things up with a not-so-great rendition of the '91 Spin Doctor's jam "Two Princes." (Yo, you might think this song is easy - but don't forget, there's like 2 minutes of hippyesque scatting at the end. Ugh).
lorelei
Here's Lorelei with some naughty birthday panties!
lorelei
The party at Manray started winding down at around 2am. Everyone else crapped out and went home but Lo and I headed over to...
lorelei
Brenda, Emma, Cy, and Lo.

Look! Operation Iraqi Freedom chalks up another big victory by intercepting what was almost a French Kiss. You're next Saddam! *shakes fist*

lorelei
Lo's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" sparked candles of adornment.
lorelei
Joey and Lorelei. (aka - JoLo)
lorelei
Damn. We're still glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife, you know what I'm saying?
lorelei
Later on in the evening, Lo and I reprised our version of Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Lights" which was last heard at her birthday party last April.
lorelei
We arrived early (around 10ish) to ensure that we'd be able to secure the table right up front next to the karaoke machine. That way later on in the evening when you're real drunk and you want to "correct" people who aren't performing a song up to par by singing over them as loudly as you can, you'll know that they can hear you. Because hey, people love to know when they're doing something wrong. Especially at karaoke. (From L to R: Lorelei, Sean, Joey, Emma and Mary.)

Jen Dolloff, Emma, Lorelei and me.
lorelei
Grant licks Lorelei's hair while I try to make the "I can't believe Alex made out with half of our interns" expression go away.
lorelei
From L to R: Lorelie, Tookie, Alisa, Grant and me
lorelei
And here's Em & Lo hysterically laughing after Grant opened his gift and started getting all "extra sensitive" on them
lorelei
Messy-haired Lo.
lorelei
Rrrroooooooox-anne. You don't have to put on the red light.
lorelei
(Sleepy) Em & Lo.
lorelei
For the sake of posterity, we set up the cam on the dash again to capture the crew at the end of our journey.
lorelei
lorelei
lorelei
Squinty Lo!
lorelei
This here is "the rock," which was pretty much the locus of most of our outdoor activity.
lorelei
And, chances are, if we weren't doing any of the aforementioned activities, were taking funny picures of each other.
lorelei
Grant, we missed you!
lorelei
Watching people perform synchronized swimming routines from.
lorelei
Exhausted from a long night of failed homoerotic scheming, Lo fell asleep on the couch.
lorelei
The first night Joey and I made the mistake of playing teams boys vs. girls. We got our asses handed to us and were hardly halfway around the board when the ladies won. (Look how intense my expression is. When I play Cranium, I play to win.)
lorelei
The four of us on the way up.
lorelei
Too bad living in NYC makes everywhere else seem weird. Around 7:30ish we pulled off the road in northeastern CT to get some dinner. Every place we stopped at was completely mobbed with people. We finally settled on Friendly's (which beyond being filled with a "not-so-Friendly" waitstaff, also had a 25 minute wait for a table). We elected to do the "smart" thing and eat outside. So instead of only waiting 25 minutes inside, we sat outside, freezing our asses off for 50 minutes waiting for our food...all the while listening to somebody's frigging car alarm go off in the parking lot. In the words of Isabella, "Oh, for Frank's sake! Turn that gosh darn thing off!"
lorelei
Backseat biddies, yo. (PS - Isabella totally looks like a Dr. Seuss character in this photo!)
lorelei
Our bellies full of (completely God-awful) food, we hit the road in high spirits.
lorelei
From L to R: Joey, Lo, Tookie (aka - Isabella), Em and Me. (we took this pic by setting the timer and placing the camera on the dash).
lorelei
"You're schmoopie!"
"No! You're schmoopie! Yes you are! Yes you are!"
lorelei
The night ended prematurely when in the midst of "Copa Cabana" Lorelei shot Emma with a bolt of lightning.
