Hung out with this one. Adorbs.
pretty
Had a visit from the lovely Jane Anne...
pretty
New Years lovelies!
pretty
So proud!
pretty
Birthday friends who came out late on a Wednesday on short notice! ;)
pretty
Meredith, in her safari dress, sailing the blue Visayan Sea. (This is one of my favorite photos of Meredith.)
pretty
Beach beauties.
pretty
...and hopped in a cab over to the west 40s.
pretty
Hiding out upstairs!
pretty
pretty
Casual babeness.
pretty
A little after midnight, Amanda came over and Mer got dressed up for the party (holy moly!).
pretty
...Eastern European establishment.
pretty
Meredith's eyes really bring out the ocean.
pretty
All dressed up. <3
pretty
Mer went with red and feathery.
pretty
Big fan of Rollerwang. Whoa.
pretty
Angelhair!
pretty
And some delicious Mackerel in Brine. Mmmm, briny!
pretty
The cold Meredith had been fighting since we got home finally caught up with her. She had such terrible chills that she needed to wear my fur hat in bed. Look at that tan! I've never seen such a pretty sick lady!
pretty
See the peaked roof behind Meredith? That's the roof over our room's balcony!
pretty
There's a new Mrs. Battjer!
pretty
Babe-o-rama.
pretty
Meredith showed me that she had tucked tissues into her dress "Not because I'm stuffing my boobs, but because I'm definitely going to cry." Haha.
pretty
HOLY MOLY.
pretty
Holy crap, I'm marrying a babe.
pretty
Meredith and Leigh.
pretty
Meredith snacking on some watermelon.
pretty
Fatty was the first to get it to balance properly.
pretty
We were trying to line it up to that it was Leigh's (pretty green!) eyes and my mouth. Miss.
pretty
<3
pretty
...to meet up with Sarah who was there was Jenne!
pretty
Sarah was there playing music and looking this adorable.
pretty
Later that evening, a whole bunch of us got on the Metro North train to visit Ellen's new apartment just north of Manhattan. Meredith looking serene at the train station.
pretty
We invited a bunch of people to come over to our place to eat snacks, play video games and then watch the fireworks. Amanda arrived around 10, looking summer-tastic!
pretty
Pretty ladies looking pretty.
pretty
I'm going to punch you both right smack in the middle of your two perfectly-pursed puckers.
pretty
Ellen looking real witchy!
pretty
Holy moly, you're goooooor-geous! You have to be careful with Lisa - she can get a big head pretty quickly, so it's important to always balance out the super-pretty photos of her looking all windswept and dreamy with...
pretty
Sorry, Jenny Penny - you may have been a more realistic Amy Winehouse (with your falling-down-drunkeness and all), but Alexis' Amy Winehouse is the winner of my heart.
pretty
On Thursday afternoon, Meredith and I found out that we'd gotten the apartment in Stuytown that I loved. Meredith agreed to sign the lease with me without even seeing the place! She was like "You're WAY pickier than me. If you love it, I don't even need to see it to know that I'll love it." Here she is proudly showing off her Orwellian Stuytown ID card.
pretty
They're weren't too many people there on this particular night, but every single person that was there totally gave crazy, over the top performances.
pretty
Animal FunTime Party House got even better when Leigh came by and dropped off Edie off with us! Look how excited Meredith is to have two little lap-weasels!
pretty
On Friday I brought Meredith flowers! She is pretty. I am lucky.
pretty
Later that night, we got dressed up all nice (well, Meredith did at least)...
pretty
Couple. Drinks. (Swoon. Who's luckier than me?).
pretty
We got out of the rain and into a restaurant that was right on the beach. After we'd finished our lunch, it was still raining. So we hung out and drank coffee...
pretty
After lunch, we arrived back at our fantastic hostel a little before 3pm. Kraisak, the man who runs the place, had a bunch of people over and when we asked what the occasion was, he told us that it was Thai Mother's Day

Then he told us that a bunch of his friends and relatives were going to go tubing down the riving in the rain and asked us if we'd like to join them! Of COURSE we did! So we ran and got tubes...
pretty
Bernadette, Meredith and Faisal getting their chow on.
pretty
Cat and Meredith. Pretty!
pretty
On Tuesday night, I met up with this little peanut and Brandon at 151.
pretty
Wing-wong!
pretty
...and breaking open a box of the rum cakes that we'd purchased as gifts to give to other people! Hahaha.
pretty
In love with turtles.
pretty
After our nap, we decided to drive back over to the west side of the island and check out...
pretty
On Friday we both got up early! My plan was to head out for an early morning dive. Mer's plan (after she was finished wearing a light-fixture as a hat) was to read by the pool.
pretty
The room was so overwhelmed by artful majesty that Meredith had to shield Edie's eyes (lest she be blinded by TRUTH!)
pretty
...and slightly sun-kissed!
pretty
...and got all dressed up for Tara's wedding! Awwww, how pretty is my girl? By the way, I'd like to point out that Meredith is wearing a dress that she got for a middle school dance when she was in 8th grade...
pretty
On Wednesday night I hung out with Leigh and she showed off some neat new dress she'd modified by turning the neck-strap into some cool, Motley Crue-looking satanic star. While this is a decidely non-ugly photo, Leigh will make up for that later.
pretty
Here's Mer experiencing the summer lovin'.
pretty
Sarah and Gurj on the movie set!
pretty
Then after that I went and met up with Niki and David.
pretty
David and Kim met us there and we danced up a storm.
pretty
So Mer and I are walking down the street on the way to Luke and Leroy's and from like 1 block away I spot this girl walking down the street and I nudged Meredith and I was like "Omigod, check out that blonde coming down the street in a mini-skirt and rainbow socks!" We were totally checking her out and then she got closer and we realized that we'd been checking out Ellen Stagg! Hahaha. (But seriously, can you blame us?)
pretty
Later that night Meredith got all hussied up (again! who's luckier than me) and we decided to head to Misshapes!
pretty
Friday night my sexy-ass girlfriend got all sexied up and we headed over to Orchard Bar for Karen and Sarah's Friday night party there.
pretty
Oooh-la-la!
pretty
Hahahaha.
pretty
...swipe it from me just a few minutes later.
pretty
And Meredith's totally normal non-beach hair. (How the hell did you not get beach-hair you little sneak??)
pretty
Mer (who looks real pretty in this photo...awwww) and The Fatty.
pretty
And Leigh dressed up like Snow White!
pretty
When we finished brunch, it was pouring rain so we decided to walk a half-block over to...
pretty
Hahah.
pretty
I found this lil' woodland creature hiding downstairs in the coat room...
pretty
...like this really nice girl. And then I walked around and took pics of people...
pretty
I like this photo of Amanda. She looks real pretty in it!
pretty
When we got out of the movie it was snowing and raining at the same time!
pretty
...putting on make-up and a slutty booby shirt. Hot damn! And we headed right around the corner to Pianos...
pretty
Soon after I bid farewell to the little troublemaker and Amy and I headed cross-town to meetup with...
pretty
She pretty much summed it up best when she said "The ledge was covered in coins that people had slid through the window, in an apparent attempt to harm anonymous passers-by. That, at least, was one sentiment we (as New Yorkers) could relate to." Hahah.
pretty
She don't look sick to me.
pretty
Niki and Lizzy make me want to become a Mormon (just so I can make both of them MY BRIDES!).

And then after regrouping, we hopped on our scooters and drove up this crazy road that hugged the mountainous coastline of the Bali peninsula.
pretty
Xiomara, Priscilla and Marisol rolled on up in this piece.
pretty
Okay, this pic is from a few weeks earlier when Laura was in town for "The Rules of Attraction" premeire...but it's the greatest picture ever and I didn't include it earlier so here it is.
pretty
It's Winston's smooth flavor that makes it the choice cigarette of girls in pink sateen.
pretty
Day Six: One of the bartenders at our resort was originally from Boston. He and his girlfriend randomly decided one day to pack up everything and move to St. Thomas. They offered to take us and some other couples a little older than us out to one of the local beaches that day and we gladly accepted.
pretty
Day Seven was a travel day. We had to wake up early to catch our flight back to JFK and the cold weather.
pretty
Later that evening Kate traveled back in time to visit me at age 8. (This was some poor kid who was there at the resort with his parents. There were NO OTHER KIDS there for him to play with. We felt bad...so we got him drunk.
