Ha,, that is what all my family and friends now think I am up to... I have been talking to hubby about how I would like to take a trip back to Paris next September,, I mentioned the lovely "street festivale" some of our OP ladies attended,, I even went to the thread and showed hubby a few shots of all our elegant ladies sitting smiling around the table in the streets of Paris. I then walked away from computer. Left it open. Friends arrived for coffee. We are all in our living room chatting.. when.. My 12 yr old , who is sitting on the computer only a few feet away from us in our open living dining room area calls out "" MOM, what IS this???"" nervous tone in her voice sends our alarm bells going,. We all go to screen to see what she sees,, is it pop up porn( we had a problem with this before) ,, what could it be.??.. NO, she just scrolled on past the lovely ladies picking grapes and ended up at the male strippers that our lovely OP ladies went to see. I quickly scroll past it laughing and say , oh it nothing honey, just some of the ladies went to see some fancy male dancers in Paris.. Daughter rolls eyes and says " so you really want to go to Paris to see STRIPPERS,, not for this wine festivale you keep talking about" At this post friends are hysterical,, hubby has eyebrow raised( although he is amused) and daughter is looking at me like I am a big fat liar... I assured them all that I love Paris for the cultural activities, I brag about the 200 museums I have not yet seen, the hundreds of places I have not eaten, the miles of streets I love to wander up and down on,, but ,, no, now they all think I just want to go back for the STRIPPERS!! Hmmmp! This is a very naughty board.. ! ;D

Aïe ! My kids know nothing about the OPF naughty evening . I told my husband, but still thought it wise NOT to show him the pictures + Gitte's comments . Now maybe he looked by himself ... Joan, I understand how embarrassing it is that your kids believe that .

I showed my husband ALL the photos. I even explained Gitte's aligot caption ;D to him, and he thought that was a riot. I wonder how he would feel if I ever planned to attend an OPF weekend in Paris.

Well, THAT'S the big difference between us Chouchou : I attended, you didn't, and Joan plans to . Strategies towards families rely entirely on these differences ;D .

LOL !! No , now really Roniece I am interesting in the festival, the wine , the food, the fun on the streets,,and of course meeting all of you,, but, I will not look at naked bums anymore.. they remind me too much of my sons running from the bathroom to the shower with just their hands held over their privates.
Ok, someone shoot me now, I am getting senile,,, how can food be more attractive to me then naked young men,, ( ok, I am conflicted here, even typing " naked young men" made me feel funny, and not the good kind of funny!) .. thats it, this site has offically made me crazy... LOL

To any mom who has ever changed diapers on a baby boy, there are really no surprises to be had by going to a chippendales-type show. And I must add a story about our lovely Roniece which somewhat contradicts her claim for "bring on the naked men" ! In the club there were 2-3 male waiters (dressed !) one of whom was a young, cute black guy in a full hiphop-gear: rastafari-hairdo and LAAARGE sagging jeans. Roniece and I, both being moms of boys that age, soon agreed that "THAT is NO WAY to wear your jeans, young man !!" So what does momma Roniece do ?? Walzes determinedly in her stilettos up to the poor, unsuspecting kid and in so many words tell him just that....... ;D AND in case he didn't understand the queen's good Australian, momma Roniece then unhesitatingly pulls up his jeans and shows him how to fasten his belt, so that they wouldn't drop down again. ;D Need I say that the boy was scared stiff and each time he passed our table, he was very careful to observe a safety distance to Roniece.......

Gitte - I don't know what YOUR baby boy had in his diaper, but I assume that most baby boys look a bit different during their diaper years than they do as male adults.

The principle is the same, choo choo. And those steroid-pumped strippers probably had willies like a 3-year old's...... We will not go there again, it's one of those things you do once, like eating froglegs........ So Joan: you can tell your appalled friends and family that next September's entertainment will be "Strictly Intellectual and Highly Cultural". (Note that the order of the adjectives change each year....... )

Good for you, Roniece ! Some "kids" constantly need to be told what to do.

Well! I was planning on being there for all the fun and festivities next September - but now I will have to rethink that idea if you aren't going to see the "boys" again!!! LOL
Just kidding, but I am not kidding about making the trip next September - I have been trying to make a reservation using my miles but I have to wait until Oct. 20th before I can book - you can bet I'll be up at 12:01 that day to make the reservation - really looking forward to being there!

I'm laughing so hard just picturing Roneice pulling UP that guys pants! We could use her as a hall monitor at some of of public high schools!
Now the question is, did he keep them hitched up and wait for you all to leave before dropping them again?

LOL!!! hey, I would be a GREAT hall monitor I'm sure of it! Where do I apply? but you know he wasn't too happy when I 'tried' to pull them up, the look he gave me was of of sheer horror!! LOL and if I remember rightly... I think he came back with a comment like... 'now, madame, as you have now seen my underwear, I must insist on seeing yours'!! LOL ... yes, as if!!! LOL it really was a fun and entertaining evening oh I mean HIGHLY CULTURAL!! thanks for the exalt Joan... I was in need some more! and KH ... I think your son might be a tad scared of me!! LOL and Sandra... I'll set the alarm clock for you so you don't oversleep ...see how good a hall monitor I can be!

You guys ROCK!!! What a fun group you all are, you have me in stitches reading about your wild GTGs. Maybe one day our trip dates will coincide and I will get to meet some of you. This little French Canadian girl (grandma) has a little wild streak herself!
I love this board!!
