The Singles Dance
This is the second of several installments as we follow in her quest to find that elusive perfect date. "I'm looking for a woman with big breasts and a good attitude." Meet one of my suitors at the singles dance. I am in good company with my trusty singleton sidekicks, Connie and Jacqui, to meet and greet, with an aim to be fairly indiscreet. As we enter the lavish hall, we are given a laminated tag to wear, identifying us as a female celebrity. It's an ice-breaker gimmick. Adorned with my alter ego of Pebbles, I am assigned to seek out Bam Bam, and mingle while on the quest. There are hundreds of well-dressed people buzzing aimlessly. And seemingly, lots of men. We pass a group of guys who are tightly huddled inside the door. Tense and puzzled, one turns to his friends while holding his celebrity identity tag and asks, "Well, who the hell is married to Franklin Roosevelt?" Sensing a challenging night ahead, we set out to chat to as many men as we can, with an agreed 10-man-chat minimum. I meet Fred Flinstone right off the top. I later meet Barney Rubble. Using the family connection as an opener was too easy. In fact, the celebrity tag system was proving to be a rather brilliant excuse. It was entitling us to use cheesy lines and initiate with any man. (By the end of the night, we had started most all of our chat-ups and collectively, we totaled close to 40 men chatted.) Back in search mode for Bam Bam, I continue to scan for friendly smiles worthy of good banter. Finding a gaggle of three young collegiate types hanging over a banister checking out the action from afar, I attack from behind. One of them is Kevin Bacon but he doesn't understand who he is looking for. I have to spell Kyra Sedgewick out for him. I decide not to tell him that he is only a few degrees away from everyone in attendance.
