Drawers…. as in… undies.

One of the best ideas Snapsisters L and A have had (my two MOHs) was to throw me a lingerie shower while I was in Texas. This was SO NICE of them, and an added benefit was that all but two of my sisters could attend. The lingerie shower turned into a bit of a bachelorette party, which meant that any Snapsisters who can’t make it up to Chicago (highly likely) for my bachelorette party could partake in bachelorette festivities. The Snapsisses went way over the top; two of our friends were able to come, too…. and I was definitely showered in sexay, tiny gifts. Very tiny. Get back to work, Mr. Dragon.

The entire shower took place at a popular Dallas destination called The Gaylord Resort. The agenda called for drinks at the Glass Cactus, ice sculpture-gazing at the onsite exhibit, gifts of a lingerie nature, and then a slumber party in the hotel room! The Snapsisters went way over the top, and we had a wonderful time. Let’s begin!

Unbeknownst to us, there was a show scheduled for the night of our party at The Glass Cactus. It was HI-larious. Please, scantily clad ladies dancing to “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.” Massive photo texting ensued!

We moved ice sculpture gazing to the next morning, as that exhibit is way more popular than we realized, and they ran out of tickets! So we ventured back to our room via elevator…

See all the lovely shower game prizes laid out…

Yummy food and boobilicious cups!

OK, Small Sidebar: In past months, I have been in the presence of several lovely ladies who have discussed how much they hate shower games. I freakin’ LOVE shower games! To me, boring shower games are, yes, not so entertaining, but the Snapsisters devised several games that resulted in increasing both our knowledge and our motor skills. Read on.

For our first game, the MOH Snapsisses divided the guests into two teams for a rousing round of Sexual Trivia. For instance, did you know the origins of the Mirkin? Me either, and that’s why I lost that question. Thanks for reminding me. Here are the MOH Snapsisses teasing our brains. Clipboards so kindly provided by the accommodating Gaylord staff!

Next, we played create your own lingerie set, suitable for judging. So that I can add to the WeddingBee gallery of amazingly embarrassing blog pictures….

Then it was Present-Time! Lots and lots of bras and undies!

Our last game of the night was a play on bowling. We had a bowling alley with pins set up, and using three oranges as bowling balls, along with an orange suspended in hosiery (and using no hands!,) we had five minutes to knock down as many pins as we could. Yes, five minutes is an inordinately long period of time, but that’s how bad we are at bowling. So there.

There WOULD be a picture here, but all of the bowling pictures are just too embarrassing for public viewing, slightly NSFW, and shouldn’t you be typing up a report right now anyway, you slacker?

This is how we finished the night, spying on poor, innocent people in the Gaylord Hot Tub.

After a relaxing night in our hotel room, we hit the Gaylord Ice! Sculpture exhibit before heading home the next morning.

Of course we loved this one!

We had such a fun time hanging out together. I am so lucky to have sisters and friends who are so creative, and the whole night was just perfect. Mr. Dragon thanks you, too.
