Under The Milky Way Tonight


1991. Sydney, Australia. Drinking a VB with my best friend just before a night out on the town. It doesn't get any better than that.
Time. Of. My. Life.

**Editor's Note: That's me on the right for those of you who don't know. Is it any surprise that I'm the one with the beer in my hand? I mean come on. And yeah, you can say it. My best friend is way hotter than I am. That's a fact.

I give that picture a solid nine on Todd's Wack-O-Meter. I'd consider a ten if you guys were topless.

Miss Syl said...

At first I read it as "drinking a V8" and I was going to call you a dork.

But even so, you'd have saved yourself with the Church reference. :)

Beautiful Brooke!! Nothing like holding on to the best memories :).

Did you like VB? I find it bitter but I'm not a beer drinker.

Brooke:
Isn't it funny to look back on photos like this and go, "man, I was hot. What happened?" Maybe you don't do that. Hopefully, you DON'T do that. A kid later, I do.

I love it. Keep em coming.

I love that there's a Casablanca poster back there.

Beer, babes and Bogie. Good gracious!

Ingrid Bergman too!

Nance said...

Sigh. You've been to Australia. Okay. I can live with that. But if you tell me you held and cuddled a koala while you were there, then we are gonna have to have a smackdown.

Dan said...

which one is you?

Scarlet Hip said...

Todd - I can live with that.

Miss Syl - I am a dork, but not when it comes to overseas drinking. And I saw The Church on several occasions down under, hence the appropriate name. Glad you approve!

Chicky - thank you! I did like VB, though I did grow to appreciate Toohey's Extra Dry while I was there. Oh I miss it there!

Leezer - oh I do! And at the time I thought I was fat! Now I look at that picture and think, "Shit, look at me. I was hot. But dammit, my friend was hotter."

Bill - that picture was taken in the bedroom of my surfer beach house. Budget decor calls for Bogie.

Nance - I've lived in Australia. Almost two years. And not only did I hold a koala, but I danced with a kangaroo. It's true. I'll post that picture someday. Don't hurt me.

Dan - I'm on the right holding the beer. I edited my post to add that. Sorry if you were hoping I was my hot friend. Ha!

I sort of hate you right now for having the boobs to wear your shirt tied up like that. I can't pull that off. Don't worry, I don't hold a grudge for long.

Scarlet Hip said...

Mist - don't hate me because I'm booby-full.

Naynayfazz said...

No no, you are pretty too!

Dan said...

I wouldn't have necessarily thought that... and I was actually hoping that you were the one on the right... holding the beer.

Cincysundevil said...

Hey baby ... so when are we going to get married? I'll start saving for that rock.

Miss Syl said...

I love that song, but "Unguarded Moment" is my favorite of theirs.

Scarlet Hip said...

NayNay - oh that was long ago.

Dan - again, that was long ago.

Cincy - make sure you read the post under Best Of entitled To My Future Husband before you make that statement.

Miss Syl - which album is that on? I'd say my favorite is Reptile. I could listen to that a thousand times in a row.

I was 11 when you took that picture. I think you're hotter than your friend.

egan said...

You're hotter than she is, mass hotter.

Someday I will get to Australia, someday I will also be a teacher.

Bone said...

I was going to ask, but I was guessing that was you on the right.

Cute top ;)

What a great picture! I bet this is from the days of having sex with hot men and leaving before they wake up. You know, the days I'd like to return to...if only I could find someone who doesn't find cruelty to animals hilarious.
