Pepsi Party

Last night the Bubs and I were lucky enough to score jobs working the Pepsi Jazz party. They were releasing a new line of fancy dancy Diet Pepsi's, Black Cherry Vanilla and Strawberries and Creme. Check 'em out, not my favorite thing, but good in cocktails. I scampered on over after work and changed into my favoritest (but never get a chance to wear) black strapless cocktail dress with red tule extending from the knee length skirt and a red ribbon tied high around the waist. Love it, totally on sale at Macy's too.
We met up with the two event planners, in from NY. We helped finish off the gift bags before taking our position as the greeters. Not on the list? Not in my party. Well, not really, T and I are just too kind! We were spoiled rotten by friends bringing us drinks and waiters bringing us yummy treats. Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers kept us entertained as over 200 "demographically appropriate" people and magazine reps milled about. We started handing out gift bags as people began to leave, until people caught sight of us doing so and mobbed the scene. Poor Trent had to dash up stairs and down carrying boxes of bags while I tried to placate the DVF wearing ladies that there were more coming. Awesome gift bags, Bliss Gift Certificates, SF MOMA coasters, lots of Pepsi Jazz, a t-shirt, and W hotel coupons. Luckily there was perfectly enough for everyone.
We had to "encourage" people to leave the French themed rooftop party and then helped clean and pack up the party. The girls were doing these events in several states, off to Austin, TX, next! We got some more goodies, our $100 each for working, and even a huge beautiful bouquet that was just going to go to waste. Poor Trent had to carry the mammoth bunch of fragrant lillies, white roses, magnolia and fig branches. The Giants game was just getting out, but luckily we found a taxi pretty easily and made it home with all our riches easily. Such a fun, glamourous, evening. Everyone was ooohing and awwwing over my dress (I didn't say it was on sale from Macy's...) and it was nice to be out among 'em, especially while making some money! Hope we can find some gigs like that on the East coast!
