A Valentine's Day Surprise

 So last night PB surprised me by taking me out to dinner to The Odeon. We tend to stay in Brooklyn when going out so it was really fun and romantic being in the city. After our ice cream sunday we decided that it would be a good idea to take a walk. As we headed down Duane Street, we came across Duane Park. When we looked in to the ornately decorated restaurant, an old fashion like singer was belting out Let's Stay Together and people were slow dancing so we decided to go in and grab a seat a the bar. We ordered our drinks  and then the singer introduced the next portion of the show...a burlesque dancer! She came out in a beautiful glittery red dress and by the end of her performance (which was in the middle of the restaurant) was just in tassels and a thong! It was incredible. We later learned that we had missed a few other performances and if they were anything like the one we say, I bet they were incredible. I definitely what to go another time for the entire show! I wanted to take pictures but didn't think it would be right but was so glad that I was able to find these from the Duane Park website!  Thanks Paulie for a great night!

Look how close they get to the diners!

What a brave woman!

Lady Gaga has even performed there

Valentine's Day...A day for gifts?

With Valentine's Day a week away, the bloggers out there are blowing up with all sorta of cute ideas and fun DIY projects that are tooth achingly sweet for the big day. Here is my question for you guys, what do you think of gifts for Valentine's Day? Sure flowers, chocolate and maybe a sweet note are great gestures, but are you looking for more? Does it have to be something in the shape of a heart or do you want a straight up gift? I am perfectly happy with flowers sent to my office (so my coworkers won't have to ask) and a cozy night at home.

PS. This is my 200th post. What up!
