WASPS Sting Too…

images.jpegMr. Gill may have ended his night face down in birthday cake, but Hearsay kept going last Saturday. It had another party to hit, this one at Duplex Dinerpreppie-look.jpg. No bees allowed, the invite said. Actually, it didn’t, but the “Pearls, Pastels and Polos” party was all about mock-celebrating WASPs. Host No. 1 Billy “I May Listen to Virgin Radio, But I’m No Virgin” Black wore a white dress shirt, with his collar popped and top buttons undone, a striped green tie draped very loosely around his neck, plus a multi-patterned plaid beret and clashing plaid shorts. It almost made Hearsay vomit. Host No. 2 Bob “Tinker” Bell wore a pastel green Polo shirt, with popped collar and slicked-up hair. Again, with the almost vomit. Hearsay didn’t stick around to find out who won the best-dressed prep contest, though surely Kris “Finally Free” Nelson got something for his troubles. He wore practically all white except for his striped belt and purplish-grey sweater draped around his white Polo just so. And there’s the actual vomit. Sorry, Eric, but that’s why you pay people to mop the floors….
