Because I Got It From My Mama

by rachaelgking on June 5, 2010 · 56 comments

No, literally. She sent me this. Like in an email.

Gotta say, while freaking hilarious, it doesn’t quite hold a candle to the hot mess that was Liza Minnelli’s rendition in SATC2 (aka the only five minutes I didn’t want to put my eyes through a sieve during that movie).

Happy weekend! And thanks to everyone who came out last night for the Happy Hour- so great to see you!

SATC2 was horrifying. Seriously.

This excellent article mirrors my feelings about the movie and ends with the best line of all time “If this is what modern womanhood means, then just fucking veil me and sew up all my holes. Good night.”

21 Aly June 5, 2010 at 3:17 pm

And also, I haven’t seen SATC2 yet but now I’m curious!

22 L A Cochran June 5, 2010 at 10:29 pm

Really? One botched surprise trust fall and we’re off the list? Yeesh.

Thanks for a fantastic evening, as always!

23 Grace June 6, 2010 at 9:03 am

It was wonderful to see you. It always is. Thank you for organizing!

24 LB June 6, 2010 at 9:13 am

Yea, freakin’ hilarious to a young girl who still has elasticity and perky breasts! One day, little lady, you will appreciate this work of art as it should be appreciated. With disdain. She needs to have plastic surgery dreams like the rest of us. I’m thinking of cashing in the 401K!

25 Dmbosstone June 6, 2010 at 9:34 am

Wow sounds like a great time- I wish I wasn’t back home so I could of been there!

26 Eternally Distracted June 6, 2010 at 9:50 am

Arghhh I hate living so far away, seems like I am missing out on some great meets :0(

27 Susan June 6, 2010 at 9:52 am

Oh my God that video is awesome.

28 sheila June 6, 2010 at 9:54 am

Okay….so I know see where you get your wonderful sense of humor! LOL

29 Melissa Blake June 6, 2010 at 10:07 am

OMGGGG, that video is classic!! :)

30 Kyla Roma June 6, 2010 at 10:08 am

I love that you have all these amazing people so close to you that you can get together with! I’m living vicariously through you… and I might be prepping immigration papers for all of you without your consent.

It’s only because I care. =)

31 Captain Dumbass June 6, 2010 at 11:14 am

Her back up singers look murderous.

32 Krysten June 6, 2010 at 4:08 pm

Sounds like so much fun!

33 andrea June 6, 2010 at 5:36 pm

I’m with you on Liza. I think I hid for most of that movie. So not worth bringing my movie socks. ;-)
xo

34 Ashley June 6, 2010 at 6:52 pm

haha.
I watched SATC2 at a theater that serves food and booze while you watch the movie. When Liza was on the waitress was delivering my 2nd or 3rd drink, and said “Ohhh, that lady REALLy does look like the real Liza Minneli!” I looked at her with a confused face, and said “huh?” and the waitress (who was probably in her 40′s) was all “Ohh, you may not know who Liza Minneli is- you may be too young, but that lady on the screen really looks like the real one!”
Um, yes, because it is! And, um you checked my ID earlier- I am 27, therefore I know who she is!

35 phil gishiy June 6, 2010 at 10:09 pm

What i wonderful experience my ladies had, if any of you lovely would like to do this again pleas let me know.

36 Pam June 6, 2010 at 10:15 pm

That is a great video!!!

37 April June 7, 2010 at 9:03 am

I’m so bummed I didn’t make it down in time for happy hour. I really wanted to make it, but unfortunately, the traffic in NJ had other plans for me. Maybe some other time…

38 RachelSmiles June 7, 2010 at 9:50 am

I roll deep, what can I say? ;)

39 cari June 7, 2010 at 12:19 pm

what. in. the. WORLD?!?!?!

40 Jules June 7, 2010 at 12:20 pm

I STILL wish I lived in DC….. Sad. :(

41 BeckEye June 7, 2010 at 1:40 pm

SATC2 wasn’t THAT bad. Someone just forgot to write a script, that’s all.

42 Heather Rose June 7, 2010 at 2:54 pm

Hilarity. Your Mom is uh-mazing, obviously.

43 meleah rebeccah June 7, 2010 at 5:56 pm

That video was hilarious, but SATC2 was a HUGE let down.

44 Andrea June 7, 2010 at 6:26 pm

That is hilarious. I am turning 40 next week, good thing I don’t feel that wrinkled! ha!

45 Aimee June 7, 2010 at 9:03 pm

ROFL!

46 Kayla June 7, 2010 at 11:18 pm

Okay, that was incredible!!
Although, someone should tell some of those ladies they can’t dance worth a crap. LOL

47 Kristin June 7, 2010 at 11:29 pm

Awwwwww, I bet Meg would have loved to have gone. She’s jonesin’ to take you out for a cocktail!

48 Alyssa June 8, 2010 at 12:19 am

I’m so sad about SATC2….where have my idols gone? But Abu Dhabi was interesting…

And thanks for your comment!

49 Kelly June 8, 2010 at 3:59 am

haha that video is funny! My husband thought that the words to that song were “I wanna cigarette, I wanna cigarette” he asked me if Beyonce was a big smoker…. ughhh he’s slightly embarrassing sometimes.

50 spleeness June 8, 2010 at 1:32 pm

Next happy hour I’m in as long as I wasn’t drafted to NJ like this past weekend. Looks like it was a blast!

And I LOVED this vid. I just Facebooked it. Thank you for that Tuesday laugh, I needed it. (Thanks to your mom, especially. :)

51 anonymous June 8, 2010 at 2:36 pm

so why exactly were comments disabled for this vid on youtube?

52 LiLu June 8, 2010 at 2:41 pm

No idea! Weird.

53 carissa June 9, 2010 at 1:08 am

hahaha your mom is awesome for sending you that! HILARIOUS!

Also, sometimes i really wish i lived in DC. Bet yall have a blast!

54 Rachel June 11, 2010 at 5:13 pm

Even though I shut my blog down right after the Happy Hour, can you still add me to the list? (This is how far behind I am on my Google Reader.)

55 City Girl June 13, 2010 at 10:43 pm

For your blog’s 2.0 edition, I think you need to call it:

~take it, leave it, love it, spank it~

Love that your Mom has such a great sense of humor. It must be in the genes, huh? Sorry I missed the HH, but the Sex Conference only comes around once a year. (I seriously just wrote that, huh?) Hope to see you soon; it’s been too long! xoxo
