Long, Crazy, Cup o' Soup! Labor Day Weekend

This.weekend.was.intense. The dear and fabulous Ms. Alex M came down from Noho to grace us with her presence/celebrate her big 2-3 birthday! I feel like we were running around all weekend. From missed flights via Southwest, to picnics on the Mall, to buying $1 cups and saucers from the OMansion, to shot-shot-shotshotshots at Dans, to ramblings with drunkidy drunk drunk old men on the AU bus, to random crying outbursts followed by quick rallying, to getting punched in the face by a crazy unknown, to gorging on JumboSlice, to fighting with irate cab drivers, to lounging "poolside," to creating The Magic View, to listening to Delaney's hi-larious new roommate babble on about Mawwllllnayyy things, to battling obnoxious waiters at Coastal Flats, to baking midnight Hokie cupcakes, to getting dressed really fast then waiting four hours to drive to FedEx, to beer-can crushing, to Relay games, to 2-mile walks to the metro, to finally buying a Smartrip card, and to celebrating the glorious and fantastic Virginia Tech--long may they choke. 
Beautiful building downtown

Dupont escalator to the heavens.

Welcome to the OMansion. Strangest place in literally all the world. But, it was filled to the BRIM with chandeliers, vintage Dior hats, teacups, creepy stuffed things, a log cabin room, and secret doors galore.

Round up the prostitutes, this place is the shit!

-
Fabulous, dahhling.

-
"Coffee is through the Secret door to the Lighthouse." Obviously.

Meow. Freakin obsessed with whatever this thing is.

One of the many sink in this piece. In all it's 80s glory.

Blurry beer stein for Cody!

Wild, hanging, man-butterfly instrument player. Above a lion-footed pool table. Seriously, I'm not doing this place justice.

Ok, so there was this bathtub that was set on a platform and to get into it you have to pull this hidden spiral staircase out of the wall, climb up the stairs, and jump on in. I was impressed.
-
-
Alex approved of the bidets. Awk.
-
-
THEN after allll that, we made orange and purple (i.e., maroon) cupcakes for the tailgate. Delicious!!
-
-
On the way to see the Hokies play!! Well, not really. On the way to chug beer, obvi.
-
-
Overall, twas a lovely and long weekend filled with great friends, good times, and drama.drama.drama. I feel it deserves another 3 days to recover.

Love these girls in all their sparkly Hokie glory!!
