The Foreigners

Apparently if you're the head of advertising for L'Auberge Casino, your birthday party is much more than just some candles and a balloon. I did the dessert this evening for a plated dinner for Kirk Williams and his 700 closest friends... 

Who has 700 people they would consider "close friends"?! I guarantee half the people in attendance tonight have no idea whose birthday they were celebrating. 

It was a huge birthday bash, complete with tuxedoed waiters, a huge plastic birthday cake, hundreds of balloons, 4 different fully stocked bars, and a concert by Foreigner.

They also had an extensive collection of Ladies of L'Auberge.

The Ladies of L'Auberge work at the casino, either on the casino floor or at the pool.  They wear short, low-cut dresses, have monthly weigh-ins, and are hired (in theory) to bring drinks. In reality, they are around to remind people that they like looking at pretty girls.  They're glorified Hooters Girls, and are definitely not hired for their cognitive abilities. 

That being said, I love the LOL Girls. Making fun of them is one of my favorite pass-times.   I desperately wish I was one of them, solely so I could laugh from inside their ranks.  I love when they talk. It's always a thrilling experience, and tonight was no different. 

I had just finished serving dessert and was starting to clean up backstage when Foreigner started playing. I was stacking empty sheet pans and wiping up melted chocolate when an LOL sauntered up to where I was working. It was very strange to get one on it's own, usually they travel in packs.  She seemed flustered, and I asked if she was okay.

"I'm just like upset at how like rude L'Auberge is being!" 

I asked what she meant, and was astounded by the answer...

"I just like can't believe this whole Foreigner concert! They should like call it like the Asian concert or something! I mean like it's just so like rude for them to keep like calling them FOREIGNERS!!"

"I see..." It took me a minute to realize she was serious... I then advised her to tell her concerns to as many people as possible.  I mean, I wouldn't want the Asians to continue to be harassed because she didn't speak her mind... :)
