Toronto. According to eye witness reports, a middle-aged woman did a strip-tease in the middle of a trendy downtown restaurant last Friday evening.
An unnamed source tells us a party of four, a middle-aged man and woman and a handsome young couple, had just been seated at their table when the woman was overheard exclaiming, "Holy Moly! Is it hot in here or what?!" and began removing her clothing.
While smirking diners looked on, and parents at nearby tables covered the eyes of their giggling children, the woman, (with the seductive grace of a heavy hipped wildebeast) removed layer after layer of clothing until she was wearing just her camisole (white with an obvious black bra underneath). When she began to fan herself with the hem of her camisole, the young woman seated across from her put a stop to things by loudly exclaiming, "Mom! Stop!"
"What is the matter with you?!" the middle-aged gentleman asked.
"Are you feverish?!" the daughter asked.
"Are you ill?!" the young man asked.
"I don't know!" she wailed. "I'm just so FRIGGIN'' hot I'm soaked with perspiration!"
"I'll give you another minute," the waitress said before hurrying away.
As the woman, wearing just her camisole (with the black bra underneath) sat fanning her red face with a napkin and her family looked on with puzzled expressions, an elderly woman at the next table reportedly leaned over and kindly whispered, "Don't worry dear, I think you're just having a hot flash."
"Heavy hipped wildebeast"! I love it ... as long as it's not being used to describe me.
ReplyDeleteBet the other diner just loved the free dinner show. Living in the always hot South, I'm not looking forward to this. If I'm only wearing a tank top, there just aren't many options to strip.
ReplyDeleteTime for you to start layering? Good luck to you. Thanks for the giggle.
it wasn't me ;)
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. Well not exactly that; but I've wanted to.
ReplyDeleteHot flashes suck. We were at a luncheon with the mayor once. The hot flash was so bad we had to leave. Fanning had done no good; neither did ice water.
I sat in the car, right next to the vent of the AC with it running in high for 10 minutes.
Now that is an extreme response to a hot flash. I never get to be in restaurants where such fun things happen. Damn. Like your blog and thank you for visiting mine. Please do come back.
ReplyDeletelmao! You are awesome! Oh this makes me scared to get a hot flash. I will so be that woman someday :0)
ReplyDeleteOh the fun thing about perimenopause is you get hot flashes, PMS, AND periods and your calendar could care less what day it is. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about winter is there is always a cold parking lot (or back deck) just beyond the door. : )
I didn't know "Dennys" offered dinner and a show.
ReplyDeleteTalk about Moons Over My Hammy!
That's not too far in my future, V-Grrrl has described my life perfectly but for me living in the tropics means no escape from the heat!
ReplyDeleteHA! Oh, that poor woman. When I used to have hot flashes, my hubby called 'em my "personal summers." Lord, I don't miss them a bit.
ReplyDeleteLOL Yet so true and not so funny. Glad I'm done with that. Highly recommend black cohosh.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame there's no meno-pause button to push when those things happen. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha...oh my!
ReplyDelete"hot flash"...Ah! Took me a second there. Heh...
ReplyDelete*snort*
ReplyDeleteWork it! Shicka-BOOM!
;-) A.
o_o
ReplyDeletePart of me wishes this would happen more often in my city.
And the other part wants to run away.
I would love to have seen something like this around here. These people need to lighten up! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou've been tagged at my blog!
hah! Did this really happen?
ReplyDelete@ That gentleman's lady - it's a satirical account of a true story. In other words, I MAY have exaggerated just a bit ;)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. And unfortunately, probably gonna happen rather soon for me! LOL Hope you have a great rest of the week, Kara!
ReplyDeleteWere you spying on me in the restaurant last week?!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. When I saw the title of this post I knew I HAD to read it. Great post! :D
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend, Kara!
