[Slightly NSFW .gifs after the cut.] Good evening, good evening, and welcome to your Magic Mike Tuesday.
I’ll be your host and MC for this Internet evening, as we glide into the darkness above, hastened by grinding crotches, bumping behinds, and abs that make a lady say “Halleloo.” Dare I say more? Nay, m’ladies. I say, just feast your eyes below. Let us make this journey together.
Yes bb, yes.
Mercy.
I believe this is what they mean when they say ” I hath seen the light”
I have that same thong !
Yes, yes, y’all is welcome. Well, that’s how I like to spend my Tuesday evenings. What about you kittens?
Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel via Twitter.

I didn’t think I was a Charming Potato fan, but the dude is built like a Greek statue.
Hot. Damn. I need to see this!!!
The film is a snore, but the dance scenes are entertaining/amusing.
It’s true. The movie is terrible. But good hot damn the asses… Aaaaallll the asses.
Sally, I may have to watch this now with hubby, as a joke!
…
Bless this post.
Matt Bomer is the best and Joe Mangojello just makes me laugh with his ridiculousness.
Boomer just looks like he’s always having the best time.
So as a joke, my brother gave my husband this movie for his birthday. I think I may have to watch it now. You know, as a joke.
Or for science.
The best kind of science…
First of all, I might have to run to Red Box now. I have been missing out.
Second of all, I’m having people over on Friday, and I’m looking for food and game suggestions! I’m super stressing about it at this moment because, hi there, social anxiety, thanks for showing up. I think I will feel better if I can at least decide what to make.
As for games, I have been dying to play Settler of Catan, but the friends I have who play usually do so without me. And apparently this weekend things got a little too heated. So I think I’m the only person left who wants to play. So I need alternatives! Apples to Apples is always good, but I’m a little tired of it, and I’m not sure any of us have it. Also, we have Candyland. And Bananagrams. Is that sufficient? Too much? I do not know. Cards Against Humanity is the inappropriate option but maybe not for this group.
I’m also stressing slightly about gender balance. I wanted to host something because it’s my turn and because it’s a good thing for me to learn to do without stressing a ton, but most of the guys who are coming are boyfriends of friends who don’t like to come to these things unless they know there will be other dudes there. This is fair because the ladies are all in grad school together. I would consider one of the guys a legitimate friend, but he said he might not come because he told another friend he might go to a thing. Which, okay, flakemeister, except that I asked him if that date would work for him and he said he was definitely coming, and that was before this other thing.* One of my friends is also planning on bringing one of the guys she’s dating, so it’s extra important that there is sort of a mixed crowd.
Basically, hosting things is hard. No wonder Martha Stewart has a reputation for being stressed as all get out.
* There is a situation there, and I thought it was resolved, and this makes me feel like it might not be resolved and that also sucks.
First off, try not to stress too much. I rarely host things or go to things…or leave my apartment…but I find the less expectation you have, the better. Certainly have a couple of activities planned but also go with the flow, as the kids say. You must make them play Candyland, though. That one is non negotiable.
Now for recipe suggestions:
Baked brie: http://rita-may-recipes.blogspot.com/2012/11/baked-brie-en-croute.html
Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos: http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/02/bacon-wrapped-stuffed-jalapenos-2.html
Warm bean dip: http://www.life-as-a-lofthouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/warm-bean-dip.html
Beer and pretzel cupcakes: http://www.bakersroyale.com/cupcakes/beer-pretzel-cupcakes/
Milk chocolate cream cheese swirl brownies: http://doughmesstic.com/2012/07/10/hersheys-cream-cheese-swirl-browniesand-a-trip-to-hershey/
I volunteer as taste tester.
I am basically 100% guaranteed to make all of these at some point. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos probably will change my life. I’ve done an even lazier version of baked brie, too–it involves cutting the brie in half and just kind of sitting it on top of the croissant. And it is always fancy.
Also, it is actually helpful to be told not to stress, even though it’s super obvious.
I am also having a get-together Friday night! STEALING THIS WHOLE THREAD.
Word. Our get-togethers are going to be awesome.
BEER AND PRETZEL CUPCAKES? Okay, I’m on board. Invite me.
Get thee to the Southeat United States! I am definitely gonna have to outsource those to my prolific cupcake-making friend.
I want to eat the things at your party!
I’d recommend looking up Bohnanza, it’s fairly easy to pick up if you read the instructions thoroughly before guests arrive and it encourages simultaneous cooperation and screwing one another over, depending on the mood of the group. So far as food, pick up chips and salsa and an awesome veggie tray. Our gatherings also usually include a rotisserie chicken, because if booze is involved, it’s nice to have something salty and not totally decadent but still tasty. Hope that’s somewhat helpful!
Oooh, I love Bohnanza! It’s super exciting that you know what this is! My roommates and I used to play it all the time, and I almost totally forgot about it.
Also, that is helpful, because… it’s game night, not a dinner party, and there is a reason I’m not having a dinner party, for real.
Yay, so glad I could be helpful :) Bohnanza has become our go-to game of late when we’re not doing the drinking/partygame mentality in which case Cards Against Humanity or Quelf are key.
A friend of mine introduced me to a really fun (and fairly simple) party game a few months back. It combines catchphrase and charades. Basically you take a bowl and some scraps of paper. Have everyone right down random things (book titles, people, anything that could be in a word game). Then you break into two teams and get ready for three rounds of fun. In Round 1 you can use words and gestures to get your team to say the word (i.e. the catchprase portion). In Round 2 you can use only one word to describe it and any gesture. Then in round three it’s only gestures allowed (charade rules). Each team gets one minute per round to get as many clues right (you can either have one person go through them all and have the team guess, or have each person read for one clue). The round ends after all the clues are gone, and if a team has time left, then they get to start the next round with that amount of time so they don’t lose out. It’s super fun and can be tailored to your group’s interest. We had loads of fun, and it sparked lots of laughs and conversation. I hope I explained that well enough and that it helps.
That sounds fun, I like it! Thank you!
There is a card game I have that a friend of mine introduced me to a few years ago: called Flux. The cards contain all the directions, so they’re different every time. I love it. Good times.
Oh myyyyy.
