Imagine my surprise when I saw this post. Was the party in black and white? Was it not the consequence of my binge drinking? (You had hired some terrific cocktail mixers.) To be frank I don't remember anything anymore after those gorgeous guys took off their clothes on the improvised stage. Tell me.. did I behave?
