Baltimore Buzz: Ottobar's Pretty in Pink 2010

By Tex -
Far be it from a Baltimorean to turn down a party. There's just something about the opportunity to dance, drink, and startle our eardrums that gets a Marylander's blood running, and Texas is no exception. That's why she and Coda are pioneering a new feature for your blog viewing pleasure:

Baltimore Buzz
(a.k.a. So What'd You Do Last Night?)

First up on So What'd You Do Last Night: the immensely enjoyable Ottobar 2010 Pretty in Pink Prom: a night of 80's-themed festivities, including an on-point DJ, a dressed-to-impress crowd, and a rack of hilarious decorations. In true modern girl fashion, Tex went with a fellow Baltimore blogger, one of the writers of Two Dilettantes. Although I couldn't dream of outdressing that fashionable fox, I did my best (pics below).

We also drank delish drinks (although we passed on the spiked punch - hits too close to hipster for my tastes), saw an amazing Michael Jackson impersonator, and just generally had a good time with the adorable and fun crowd! Definitely a recommendation for next year - plus corsage and plus 80's prom date.


Oh, and upcoming Baltimore Buzz:

[Sunday, May 30 @ 6pm] Crabs-on-the-Lawn lunch at the Mandarin Oriental (thanks, UrbanDaddy!). Not quite Baltimore, but since it's Memorial Day Weekend, we'll make an exception for our D.C. bretheren. It's still not too late to get reservations, and if you go, Tex'll see you there.

Black Lives Matter: A Call to Allies

2020 has been a hell of a year so far. Against the backdrop of a pandemic has come an actual nationwide uprising for real equity. So in honor of the work that's been done, and the work that's left to do, we're giving you a  Juneteenth  gift: a three part series of resources to help yourself and others be better activists and advocates for racial justice. Part 1 is a post dedicated to organizations doing great work and resources to help you contribute. Part 2 focuses on BIPOC artisans and businesses. This is Part 3 : resources for allies, to help them confront white supremacy both internally and externally. After all, you can't dismantle something you're afraid to face head-on. First Step of Being an Ally: Do the Work For those who are allies (whether you're new to the fight or you've marched around the block before), the focus should be on educating yourself, examining your biases, and using your privilege to protect and amplify BIPOC voices and bo...

By Tex -

Kids, if you're anything like me, you like to kick your weekends off right - either by shooting three fingers of gin, stealing a dog, or punching a public employee straight in the stomach. Well, good news! Thanks to Tex's long-promised and now-delivered latest drink concoction, you can do all three. Welcome to the  Ramshackle Caddy . Now, I know you're excited - we all are. Just try to calm down for a minute so I can explain this. To mix it up, you'll need: A blender A half-bag of old marshmallows Vanilla ice-cream Ice leftover from a beer cooler A 3/4-full bottle of three week old open merlot Some old-fashioned mix from the sale bin at Wegman's Step 1: Put everything in the blender. Well, not everything. Maybe like half the marshmallows. OK, that's too many marshmallows. You got crazy with the marshmallows. Try like 6 marshmallows. Step 2: Equal parts old fashioned mix and merlot. If you already put too much of one in (which I'm sur...
