WHO INVENTED JELLO SHOTS?

...and why do we think we can do them on a Tuesday night?

Miss Vero will answer that in a minute y'all, just give us one second here, while we put Bobby Guttridge's phone number in our speed dial.....


Aw right, as we were sayin'...Out and about on a Tuesday night and well, y'all never saw so many dang local celebrities in one place. We're talkin' about What-A-Tavern and good ole Charlie Wilson was having his regular Tuesday night Karaoke party. On Stage, Charlie and Rhett Palmer singing "I dunno where I'ma gonna go when the volcano blows!". It was scary. Must be something in the water over at WAXE 1370AM.

Charlie recently updated his blog to show that he is exercising his freedom of speech and printin' his opinion, rather than appear as some sort of journalist. We don't know if y'all have been listening to Rhett Palmer's show on Mondays, but the tension between Charlie and big ole Gary Wheeler is getting stick marsh thick. Commissioner Wheeler seems to be getting pretty agitated by Charlie, which means that Charlie must be onto something.

Rhett, on the other hand, is crazier than ever. Mid life crisis? Recent breakup? Hmmm...

Lisa and Leo Desmond have the new afternoon show from 5 to 6 pm and have asked Miss Vero to be a guest. We are still considering this invitation and perhaps if y'all listen in Thursday afternoon, we will have made up our mind by then. Why are we cautious? Well, Mr. Desmond, an attorney, spent the last several days sitting next to a certain Bob Evans fan during Mr. Joe Baird's trial. Y'all know by now that Miss Vero does not like to share the fabulocity with just anyone.

And speakin' of fabulocity - and this is where those Jello shots came in, we left those fools singin' their Karaoke to get on over to Cosmic Charlies just in time for the 11 o'clock Drag show! Miss Kelli Randell was performing and if y'all have never seen her, go 'head kick yourself. She is the hottest Drag Queen in the sunshine state!

We ran into one of our new best friends Mr. Curt from Culinary Capers, where we had dinner not too long ago. Now if y'all were payin' attention, we had mentioned that we were looking forward to another dinner there soon and guess what? Not only are we going to have a fabulous dinner but we will also be treated to a special show, with none other than Miss Kelli Randell!! We are just so excited. If y'all are interested, call Culinary Capers right away for all the details 772-562-9191. We believe it will be September 19th, a Saturday night.

Let's see what else, oh yes...if y'all are wondering why we don't have any pictures this week, it's because we dropped our camera in excitement (or drunkenness, we really don't recall) while we were backstage at the B-52's concert last week in Fort Pierce! There is however, a picture of Miss Vero talking to Miss Kate Pierson at the aftershow party and y'all can see it on our Facebook page. So become our fan and give it a look. There, shameless self promotion accomplished.

And while we are on the subject of shameless self promotion (it's not necessarily a bad thing), there's a video that we want y'all to see - what a hoot! One of our fans from the Vero Chickys sent us a clip that she made for the Conan O'Brian show. Want to see it? It's on our Facebook page. Go 'head over there y'all. There, at least we can offer something other than the mindless and endless comments concerning Mr. Joe Baird's legal quagmire.

Your welcome.

MWAH!

WHAT HAPPENS IN VERO WHEN WE STAY IN VERO

OK, now any of y'all that have been a fan of Miss Vero know that we usually high tail it outa here any chance we get, but this weekend we decided to staycation in our own little town. Lots o'stuff was a happenin kids (y'all would never know it from readin the PJ) but yes, there were places to go and people to annoy!

First things first, New Channel 5 and their staff are the absolute best! Miss Vero loves, loves, loves them! They were super sweet, competent, professional and did a top notch job on covering all things Vero. The Channel 5 News was broadcast live from the Driftwood Inn Friday evening with a small but enthusiastic crowd. We spotted the Vero Chickys doing their chicky thing and snaging a promo with Channel 5. They have the best pics and videos for y'all to see. Check out the Vero Chickys!:

Not to mention that when one of our correspondents asked for an autograph for Miss Vero, Chandra Bill gasped "Miss Vero??!! We love Miss Vero! we read her blog!" Of course it helped kids, that Miss Vero sent them a welcome to Vero note before they arrived, which is only good manners.

Speaking of good manners, where was the Press Journal???!!!
As polite as the staff and crew were, every question concerning the where abouts of the Press Journal was met with downcast eyes and "I dunnos". One member of the production crew told us "It's like having a relationship with a step-sibling, even though we're family, sometimes we don't talk to each other" and he made us promise not to print his picture or tell his name, so we won't. Very strange indeed, considering that the PJ and WPTV are both owned by Scripps and are partnered with TCPalm.

Miss Vero thought that this kind of media hoopla would bring out a few local politicians. Now, we did spot a few people that had already served in office or had run for office (Don't quibble, vote for Bibble - and if y'all get that reference, check yourself off for being here way too long). But the only current running man in sight was our favorite, handsome Bill McMullen, and hunnies he is still as sweet as ever. Points to Bill for showing up!

After all the hub bub and heat, Miss Vero's posse made our way cross the bridge to the Epicenter of Cool - Undertow! We had the pleasure of being served by the Cutest Boy in Vero and Miss Kitty took a moment to tell us about Undertow website updates and the local Barack Obama campaign group meeting there on Saturday.

So y'all know we showed up. Miss Kitty said she only expected about forty people, but children that place was packed. We're talking standin room only and a lot of folks in Indian River County are excited about Mr. Obama. It was truly a news worthy event, so again we have to ask - where was the Press Journal??!!

We had saved up enough energy to keep going on Sunday, when we attended the fabulous soiree at the Count and Countess du Roseland's beach front estate. We are so happy when the Royal couple is in town because of the spectacular parties they host. And yes, we returned the silver spoons.

We did have to skedaddle early however, because the lush-ious boys at the Long Branch put us on the guest list for the male review Sunday night and well, Miss Vero doesn't like to disappoint.


Oh, my. If we tell y'all that it was hot, that would be an extreme understatement. DJ Silvio and his crew put on an ultra fabulous show and if y'all missed it, well.. let's just say everyone was havin so much fun that we probably shouldn't post any of the pictures. If y'all are lookin for a party the Long Branch is the only game in town. They have one more party coming up on August 3rd and kids if y'all have any life left in ya, get yourself there! http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=34775770&friendid=381676972

Miss Vero is now officially exhausted!

But doing it all for y'all...

MWAH!

P.S. A big shout out to the most wonderful Lee Dee who should not blame his headache this morning on Miss Vero!
