Hottie Crew Member of the Week – Bust Out the Beads
Not that we need a specific reason to party around this vessel, but this week we have an extra reason. Actually, we have several reasons. For one, this Tuesday is Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday. I won’t go too far into the history (or pretend I’m an expert), but Fat Tuesday is the day of eating and celebrating before we (that is, Catholics) have to start depriving ourselves and being all serious and upstanding. There’s definitely nothing upstanding about Mardi Gras celebrations. We seem to be experts of a sort on debauchery, and I’m sure it won’t surprise anyone to know the Captain is the queen of the beads. She always gets the most. It’s those brilliant tatas of hers. And her penchant for showing them off. But then, if this is the audience, I don’t think any of us would mind showing them off.
The real task is to avoid the ones who look like this. The shoes make the outfit, don’t they?
The second reason to celebrate this week is guest pirate Miranda Neville. Ms. Neville’s debut novel NEVER RESIST TEMPTATION hits shelves this Tuesday and she’ll be here on Wednesday to dish on how she turned an Historical heroine into a chef and has her cook something up with Hottie Lord Storrington. Seriously, an Historical with a chef. Have I got to talk to this woman! (For those who just tuned in, the hero of my contemp is a chef.)
So start stuffing your face now, you have less than 72 hours to go. Then don’t forget to get the smudge on Wednesday, if that’s your thing. J

What’s interesting…9 years of Catholic school and they all talked about Lent…but no one ever talked about Fat Tuesday or what Mardi Gras is all about… Couldn’t risk our wanting to party, I guess!
Nuns, they be tricksy!
I vote the top hotties. The red shoes are pretty cool, but do we really need the petticoats on board?

Woot! I love reasons to celebrate. Not that I need a reason to drink rum and dance on the dry bar.
Wait. Pretend I didn’t say that.
As a DW to a Catholic, I can honestly say that Catholics sure do know how to drink. Not that I don’t fit in or anything.
Oh the stories, the stories. *shaking head* Good times. Good times.

Mardi Gras. Tons of fun!
Yeah, the focus at my Catholic school wasn’t ever beads and debauchery either. Seriously, they always left all the good details out, I guess.
But those hotties on the top shouldn’t be left out. For sure.

Chance – 12 yrs Catholic school here and I don’t think I knew what Mardi Gras was until French class Freshman year. LOL!
Sin – We drink DURING mass. LOL! Well, they do. I’d have to actually go to mass to be included in the *we*. Don’t do that anymore.
Marn – There were so many things that were left out. And I second (or third behind Chance) those top boys helping us party.

Wow. If those hotties were offering beads, I’d have my shirt of so fast…..It’s a pirate ship – i can say that, right?
I’m married to a Catholic too, but he refuses to admit it. I spent too many years in Baptist school, where we didn’t get the beads or Lent

LOL! You’re not saying anything the rest of us weren’t thinking. LOL!

Alas, I am a CCD baby. Yup, we’re the ones that sat in your desks and messed with your stuff on Tuesday nights. We got a different, slightly secular spin on things. It was a tasty return to fish on Fridays for us.
So nice of those sailors to go commando for us. What? Like no one else noticed! I’ll vote nay for the red petticoats. I’ll have to get back to you about the sneakers. Striking, they be.

Hal, it’s just the time to admit to the urge to take off the shirt for those hotties!lol.
Um…didn’t like everybody flash someone at some point?(Or is that just me?lol.) In my defense it was midnight New Year’s Eve and, well, there were complications with bra hooks and the added complication of steering the wheel(you know, no matter how much the passenger tries to help it’s just…nevermind.lol.)

Kelly – LMAO!!! Damn steering wheels…they’re always in the way

Taking note never to name Kelly the designated driver.
