Happy Fourth of July to Uber – From, My $200 Ride

I was def in #MERICA mode at Paris’ party.

What you do for the Fourth of July normally depends on your connection status. If you are in a single, you’re likely watching fireworks at the seaside with your bae (new word I learned from teenagers at Vidcon that usually means “before everyone else”). If you aren’t, you’re most likely drinking your face off in celebration of #MERICA, f*k yeah!

I was supposed to fall into the 1st group, but of program the day that I had a really wonderful, calm Fourth of July BBQ planned with my bae…we get into a massive battle, leaving me no alternative but to go partake in the Malibu Fourth of July events with the rest of the LA scenesters. I’m not going to lie, I knew damn nicely that it was almost certainly a terrible strategy, but I had that ‘I’ll show him’/’I dislike everything’ mentality that ordinarily leads individuals to do really stupid things that they’ll later regret. For me, it was spontaneously going to Malibu, and taking an Uber back to West Hollywood when costs have been 5x the ordinary amount, costing me a beautiful $200.

Bootsy Bellow’s pop up at Mastro’s Ocean Club in Malibu

The good news is that anything was Genuinely entertaining up until finally that level. The good news is I had happened to be sitting with a few women who presently had Fourth of July party strategies when my beautiful bae determined to fight with me, which worked out wonderfully aside from my tendency to go dwelling at 10pm.  We began out at the Bootsy Bellows pop up at the new Mastro’s Ocean Club in Malibu, which had floor to cieling windows and an outside patio that provided gorgous views of the ocean and the deceptively warm-on the lookout beach under it. It was already packed with folks, lots of recognizable from the standard events and parties in LA, and quite a few looking like they have been trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I may perhaps have secretly wished Bieber was there as a substitute of Selena Gomez, but at least she also was acquiring anti-bae pleasurable.

Apparently it was supposed to be a surprise that Calvin Harris was going to be doing there later that evening, and while I definitely really like raging to property DJs (sarcasm), we had additional stops to make, and headed off to the following Fourth of July celebration. Given that my Fourth of July strategies have been produced literally, last minute, I had no plan what was actually going to happen apart from me drinking a whole lot of vodka. So when we acquired to the 1OAK pop up at Nobu and it was even extra packed at the door than Mastro’s, I was a minor intrigued/terrified.

I certainly felt like the standard cliché LA get together woman getting a component of a chain of women pushing by means of to the front, but thanked the door-man-lords that the women had already RSVPed to attend. Yes, I am mindful of how pretentious this all sounds, but I was upset so I’m permitted to. Turns out the explanation why this door was so rigid was since it was the Fourth of July celebration that all the celebrities have been arranging on going to, which created me feel even a lot more like an LA party woman in addition to incredibly irrelevant.

Regrettably due to my bad night vision and lack of f*cks offered, the only celeb I noticed was Rob Pattinson who was carrying out a terrible occupation at disguising himself with a hat…or possibly he also had a lack of f*cks to give which is why he was wearing a hat. I basically Googled to make sure that it was even him ahead of creating false data, and found that he was in fact there, and so was Chace Crawford, Courtney Love, Ryan Phillippe, Elle Fanning, Paris Hilton, Ellen Pompeo, Brody Jenner, James Marsden,Mel B, and also Chris Brown and Jamie Foxx who apparently gave a shock overall performance.

Had thought this was occurring.

No concept wherever I was for all of that, but it sounds entertaining. OH WAIT. I don't forget wherever I was – stuck in visitors in a $200 Uber dwelling at 10pm since I was drunk, exhausted, hangry, and pissed about viewing fireworks alone. Well alone minus the 1,000 men and women. Eh, I guess it was a very fantastic night. Minus the Uber. And the bae. Great story, right?
