Things To Do in Las Vegas: Wine and Canvas

I am really late to the party. I just saw the movie Fifty Shades of Grey on television last week. I have never read the books so I am not going to have some enraged, long overdue reaction and complain about how the movie was nowhere near how hot the books were or say the movie was completely boring. I actually was entertained by it and thought the actor, Jamie Dornan, who played Christian Grey, was good looking. The timing couldn’t have been better because I received an invitation to a Fifty Shades Night at Wine and Canvas last Friday for a friend’s birthday party. I looked at the Wine and Canvas website and the description read: 50 Shades Night! FREE Bottomless Champagne PLUS Sexy Male Server! It had a photo of the painting we were going to paint and the photo of the server. Oh hell yeah. I was so in. If you are looking for things to do in Las Vegas for a girl’s night out or even… Read More

Ricky Martin: ALL IN

Let me just start out by saying that Ricky Martin is HOT. There, I said it and got it out of the way. There is just no denying that fact. I have never been a Ricky Martin fan nor have I ever disliked him. Whenever I use to see him perform on television, I thought he was good looking and very talented but he wasn’t someone on my playlist in the car. When I heard he was performing at the Park Theater, I didn’t run out to buy tickets. The only reason I arranged to watch him was because my sister was scheduled to visit me and she is a big fan. Her trip was moved to the end of the month so she was not able to watch, but I decided to bring a friend and go anyway. Before Ricky actually takes the stage for his All In concert, a video plays on a huge screen. Ricky is seen, in the last frame, exiting the shower in a towel.… Read More
