Bachelors for sale- come on, it's for charity..

I’m exhausted from the social tornado that blew throughHong Kongwas last week. It all started on an unsuspecting Tuesday when a girlfriend put together a table of ‘Sex and the City’ types for a charity bachelor auction. Funnily, the charity benefited women with emotional issues. Most women I know have emotional issues, including myself, so I thought- “Are they going to give us back the money we paid for dinner?” LOL! In any case, any occasion that gives you and excuse to get glammed-up is always a good one. I decided to bust out my backless Cavalli gown for the evening. This is Roberto. He's a tennis coach that was being auctioned. He was too expensive for me though![if !supportLineBreakNewLine]

I pitied the poor bachelors who were on auction. Our table was suddenly intoxicated over multiple bottles of wine and we became a noisy peanut gallery. We were acting more like we were at Chippendales as opposed to some decorous banquet where people were wearing dressy cocktail attire. In any case, it was a good thing we had our wine goggles strapped on tightly as the bachelors looked way better. In addition, their foolish onstage antics in an attempt to impress the ladies was not quite as embarrassing.

There was a salsa dancer, a tango dancer, a guitar player, a crooner and a comedian. One guy who went to the prestigious Julliard music school played the flute- of all things- to a completely hushed audience. The acts got racier toward the end when 4 tennis instructors came out in leotards and ruffled shirts did some jolly Scottish dancing. Following that, there was one guy dressed as a butler with nothing on but and apron and a fake butt. Then, a guy dressed as a construction worker came on and proceeded to build a cardboard house to the tune of “Everybody’s Working for the Weekend”. He threw his shirt saucily into the audience at the end of his skit exposing his muscle-bound chest. I could just see him doing extra bench presses and push-ups for weeks prior to the auction! Hehe..  The closing act was a bunch of guys dressed up as the Village People.- Hang on a sec- was this a gay bachelor auction?? Oh well, we had fun dancing to YMCA in any case.

Our table bought 5 of the bachelors. The guys fetched between 4000 HKD and went as high as 20,000! Funnily, both of the guys that had the highest bids were tennis instructors. (So the poolboy/ tennis instructor fantasy is true! ) At the end of the day, the girls really didn't want to go out with the bachelors they 'bought' but it was a good laugh and it was for a good cause!- and no, we did not get our money back for dinner.
