Oh to have been there! Fabulous job darling! :)

2 Mary August 11, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Please tell me you were drunk in this video. That makes it so much more impressive.

3 LiLu August 11, 2010 at 2:17 pm

@Mary,

That is the most ridiculous question I’ve ever heard in my life. Of COURSE I was drunk. <3

4 nashe August 11, 2010 at 2:16 pm

How totally sad IS IT that I’ve never had the chance to rock this thing before?? HRMMPPH.

5 Sara August 11, 2010 at 2:20 pm

Next time, you should totally try a real bull.

You might want to be just a little bit drunker for that one, though.

and yet again, im living vicariously through you. when i did my bachelorette party in NYC we were *supposed* to go a bull riding place, maybe even this one, but i had to be put to bed at 10pm. because i had ALREADY had too much fun. thats the way i look at it anyway.

7 k8 August 11, 2010 at 2:28 pm

Amen, girlie!

8 Rachel @ MWF Seeking BFF August 11, 2010 at 2:31 pm

For sure, awesome. And maybe a little bit sore.

9 Heidi Renée August 11, 2010 at 2:32 pm

You HANDLED that thing!

10 Marie August 11, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Haha! Awesome! Cape should be worn in all your videos from now on. With a pink boa and tiara.

11 stararm August 11, 2010 at 2:34 pm

I love it! That’s living it lady!

12 katelin August 11, 2010 at 2:35 pm

i still love the glow from the cape, so awesome.

13 Nikki August 11, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Love the subtle glow of the cape. You look like a hot Nacho Libre. Bravo!

14 cézanne August 11, 2010 at 2:47 pm

This is inspirational.

15 Liebchen August 11, 2010 at 2:47 pm

I love that you did it in the cape. Seriously.

16 Vegetable Assassin August 11, 2010 at 2:48 pm

You’ve done one of the things on MY bucket list then! :) Although aren’t you supposed to hang on only with ONE arm, pussy? It’s easy calling you a pussy when I am sitting here with my coffee not being bucked around isn’t it?

17 Marian August 11, 2010 at 2:57 pm

My favorite part of this video is right at the beginning when you whip your cape back…as if you are ready to conquer the world…which you surely did;)

18 Corinne August 11, 2010 at 3:08 pm

stunning. I think you did fabulously.

19 carissa August 11, 2010 at 3:09 pm

oh my gosh this is amazing. I so want to write a bull. Maybe a real one one day too. You, as always, were an inspiration today!

20 Kelly August 11, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Awesome. Just awesome. :-)

21 Tee aka The Diva's Thoughts August 11, 2010 at 3:23 pm

How cool!!! I wanna try now.

22 jen August 11, 2010 at 3:26 pm

that’s something i’d like to experience first hand (I’d even catch you at the end!!)

23 Nikki August 11, 2010 at 3:54 pm

LMAO what did I miss?! Without a doubt, going to the next NYC meetup! I definitely have to go to Johnny Utah’s one time soon.

24 ClevelandPoet August 11, 2010 at 3:55 pm

epic
no UBER-EPIC-AWESOMENESS!
and the cape was a nice touch. The bestie and wife are always talking about doing this. I shall show them this to shame em into doing it.

25 Marissa August 11, 2010 at 4:08 pm

That cape is really f*cking shiny. In a really good way. You had the glow of Jesus. (Of course, I often imagine heaven to be a place where Jesus hangs out riding mechanical bulls for eternity. Unfortunately, it seems they cut that book from the Bible.)

26 Rahul August 11, 2010 at 4:46 pm

Wearing jeans on the bull? Psshhh, in LA they wear skirts.

I bring the camera.

Then I run.

27 KT August 11, 2010 at 5:31 pm

Love the cape. It completes the look. :-)

28 LA Cochran August 11, 2010 at 5:42 pm

Love the cape flourish at the end!

29 Ben August 11, 2010 at 5:50 pm

The cape part of this made the whole thing deliciously unsafe.

APPROVED.

30 Wonderful August 11, 2010 at 6:39 pm

Awesome indeed!

31 Lucy August 11, 2010 at 6:41 pm

Oh, LiLu, You have done one of my dreams, I have always wanted to ride the mechanical bull. See, this where I totally embarrass myself, I loved the movie ‘Urban Cowboy’ It was a movie with John Travolta and Debra Winger and it was all about riding the mechanical bull and I sooo wanted to ride one, just like Sissy, (Debra Winger). Anyways, you are living my dream girl (LOL)

32 Herding Cats August 11, 2010 at 6:58 pm

I lasted oh, about 15 seconds on a mechanical bull. You made it to 45! Not bad girl. I think your magic cape helped!

33 Skylers Dad August 11, 2010 at 7:16 pm

I just want to know if they awarded you an ear and a tail from the bull?

Well done my lady, well done.

34 Jessica August 11, 2010 at 11:01 pm

Way to make that bull your b*tch. For real girl. And the heavenly glow off that cape it tantalizing.

35 Liz @ Dogs & Wine August 11, 2010 at 11:48 pm

WAHHH WAHHH LIZ WHY DIDNT YOU WATCH MY VIDEO

WAHHHHHH

36 Lori August 12, 2010 at 12:02 am

What fun! This is why I think you are so awesome…your not afraid to live and have fun. :)

37 Krista August 12, 2010 at 12:41 am

Oh my, I could not help but notice all the flashy camera lights going off during that ride! It was like the emmys or the olympics or something. Fantastic!

38 MsDarkstar August 12, 2010 at 2:12 am

Once again, you amaze me!

NYC + Mechanical Bull + Cape + LiLu = Awesome! (Too bad I can’t figure out how to insert the lil “infinity” symbol thingy…)

39 Hannah August 12, 2010 at 7:47 am

Aaaaaaaaaaamazing! You’re my hero.

40 Barbara August 12, 2010 at 8:06 am

I think you should wear a cape all the time.

41 Allison August 12, 2010 at 9:02 am

You know. I think that cape made this video THAT much better.

42 Nickie August 12, 2010 at 11:35 am

hahha that was epicly amazing! the cape was an excellent touch.

43 linlah August 12, 2010 at 1:40 pm

Too awesome for words

44 Kris August 12, 2010 at 2:21 pm

I live vicariously through you!

45 Hermia August 12, 2010 at 3:32 pm

You. Legend.

46 Ellen@FirednFabulous August 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm

No lasso action? Ohh well, you get bonus points for the sweet cape!

47 Susan August 13, 2010 at 6:20 am

Not being there is my biggest regret.

48 connie August 13, 2010 at 7:00 am

The cape flourish at the end says it all. You got style lady!

49 mrsblogalot August 13, 2010 at 8:51 pm

You did better than I would have done drunk or sober!! Awesome!

50 City Girl August 14, 2010 at 9:08 pm

You rocked it with the cape! xoxo

51 Ys August 16, 2010 at 7:11 am

52 meleah rebeccah August 16, 2010 at 8:49 pm
