MCA Denver Winter Opening (outside)
As I walked around the MCA I felt quite nice. It did not hurt that the UBER driver announced he wished he could walk us right up to the door because we looked gorgeous .
My vintage dress was staying put, not ripping or falling off and my heels were comfy( nothing makes for a worse night than uncomfortable shoes, no matter how great they look), and my huge 1940s wool and fur white cloak was show stopping (even missing a button).
We walked in and the first thing I noticed, was that a few men ,stepped to the side and did the arm wave and guided us into the building, smiling and with a little look.
I thought, "odd". but it was nice. A beautiful 20 something girl stepped out of the elevator and came right up to me and said, "You look beautiful...your hair is amazing and that dress., saw you from up there !..that dress is perfect" ....
Hmmm feeling quite good...but I really just want to have a glass of beer , because you know...that's what fancy people do, and see the art.
We found our way from the photo booth to the bar then onward to the main gallery.
All I could think was
1. I love this art and all of this
2. This is where every cool person should be with their Valentine.
3. YEAH this is pretty fun
We looped around and the amount of well dressed pretty people was impressive, but honestly, I was not paying a whole lot of attention. I was concentrating on not spilling my beer and getting a little closer to the paintings I wanted to really see.
As I was shimmying between people to get up front to the one special piece, I felt a touch on my back.
I didn't jump, or turn around to punch, because I was holding my beer and as stated I was trying not to spill, plus it was actually more of a slide across my back, very gently.
gave me a bit of a chill
I glanced around and a very good looking man was back a little bit and he smiled and nodded.
I tried not to look confused and do the point and "me?" thing so I just smiled and nodded back and turned around. I felt a little confused but then realized what someone had said to me recently.
Let people acknowledge you.
I wandered from piece to piece then found A, so that we could go get another cocktail ( and she wanted some pictures of herself by a few of the pieces of artwork because she was looking like a piece of art also)
Found the drink line and stood behind some adorable young ladies who were on date and so cute. Gently touching each other and smiling, with a few giggles....so I leaned forward and said, "y'all look perfect tonight." and they smiled, giggled ....and we laughed about the drinks and the drink line. They really did look perfect and summed up what I would imagine was the perfect date night.
As I was waiting for A, I saw across the way the tall man, actually I kind of felt him before I saw him.
He was just watching me.
I couldn't figure out who he was with because he was with a group of beautiful women and men who were quite loud and moving from place to place without really looking at anything.
I turned to get my drink and pay, and when I turned back around he was behind me a few back in the line. He never spoke to me, he winked and gave a little smile again, raised his empty drink cup and gave a little shrug.
Interesting, I don't think he was blind, or drunk, so he actually was checking me out.
I did not stay to see what would happen because I wanted to get to the other sections and I knew A wanted to get up to the dance party.
It felt nice, and if I had been there by myself I probably would have pursued that a bit more, except I still wasn't sure if he was there with anyone, because it was Valentine's Day. But I'll tell you what, that little hand slide across the back was a ballsy, and pretty hot.
A and I had a great night , there were many compliments from young women to A and me on our looks. And to think A was worried she was overdressed....I said there is no such thing.
We danced and laughed, got A's pictures she wanted for Match (haha) and made it to the second Uber, where once again , the driver was quite charming.
( I would like to point out, A got one of their phone numbers and is going out Sunday)
Would I have like to have been there with a lover or someone who enjoyed my company?( besides A, I love going out with her...but you know what I mean)
Of course...it would have been awesome...But art gallery openings aren't for everyone, and getting dressed up is not for everyone, but I think , yes it would have been quite sexy and amazing.
My night and interactions with people were perfect.
I was there to drink the beer and see the art...and be dressed up,
check check and check
I did look nice.
Is this what they would consider Pheromones working?
It might be .
Or is it just not caring? Letting go and being open.
It's interesting how my attitude is a bit different the past few weeks. You know, since my attitude adjustment. I'm present but semi calm and open.
Things have felt a bit different and it is a bit weird.
Besides the Gala,
I went out with my neighbor to the local pub ;we had the same thing happen.
My friend is actually more of a chatter than I am and we were drinking Vodka Tonics at the bar, yapping about life and vacations, and I kept announcing to her " I have to be up at 4am...no more, plus you have to work too"
We weren't paying attention to much around us because we go there all the time and were much too busy gossiping and laughing. I looked like shit, but because it was my local I didn't care....It's Longmont, I had actually just thrown clothes on over my PJs. and put a hat on.
after D, had ordered about her 75th V/T I said "That's it Young Lady I'm Paying and driving your drunk ass home!" As she was professing her love for me I glanced around and the 2 men sitting next to us were laughing.
The man directly to my right, called the bartender over... and held up his card and said, " I'm buying theirs and get them one more round, except she might want water ( he whispered ) pointing to me"
I laughed and said "No way mister, you can't pay for this, she just drank the Caspian Sea in Titos Vodka and ate dinner...too much, we got it...we are good, but thank you"
He looked at the bartender shook his head and handed over his fancy metal credit card and waved his hand for that extra round.
"Really, thank you"
He laughed and kept watching the game on the TV.
I announced to D, he paid for our bill and she said, " really? That's great !woop woop", then started to try to have a conversation with him
It was comical.
We talked about vacations and travel, and D was telling him about her trip she was heading out on to Mexico.
He was a bit older, maybe early to mid 50s and funny.
He said he traveled a lot, had a private plane and a handler.
"A HANDLER? WTF?" I was laughing so hard.
He nonchalantly said he had to travel for work all the time and because of his ADD he just can't get to where he needs to be correctly. He has often ended up in the airport bathroom panicking.
I could tell he was listening to D talk, but he was looking at me with everything he said.
I asked him what he does when he gets to where he is going.?
He said the handler is there and arranges the limos, food etc so he just shows up to where he needs to be and tries not to panic.
wow.
He asked about my travel.
We talked and as D was talking over us...
he leaned over and said ," can I give you my phone number, or card? "
I smiled and said I am currently with someone, and I am so flattered...
Jokingly I said, "Besides, I like to travel and you are not a good traveler"
He said "well you might not always be with someone and I would like you to take my number...or if you want to take a ride on a private plane, I live around the corner....also, I am a good traveler, if I have a handler"
he handed me his card
I looked at it for a second, smiled and put it in my pocket....I patted him on the knee and said thank you again for the dinner and drinks..."I have to get her home....she is demanding Hot Tub."
I looked at the card the next day and smiled.
President of some international shipping company and consultant....
(with severe ADD which was not on the card but should have been)
I'm just going about my days, doing what I need to do to be a better me without someone stifling me and in return maybe I might be throwing off some pheromones.
maybe...
now is not the time
hahaha
I have too much on my plate.
but I'm open to whatever comes my way as I work out this situation
write ya later,
watch out for Pheromones
xo,
