SheWired contributor and interviewer extraordinaire Rachel Paulson kicks off her new series of interviews and event coverage Rachel's Pink Carpet (yeah, we went there), with coverage of The Dinah. As technology was not on our side that weekend and video didn't work out as well as planned, here it is blog style.
Wow. All I can say is wow. I have never been to such an event as Club Skirts The Dinah, which some people started calling "The Dinah Sore", and I can see why. I drove up with friends on Friday afternoon, taking Jell-O shots before the drive up, and when I say Jell-O shots, I simply mean vodka poured into a cherry Jell-O. Rough to say the least.
Maybe it was the shots, maybe it the car full of five lesbians, but we got lost. Imagine that, ending up about twenty miles out of our way in some weird town somewhere in California where there was one store called "BJ's Cutie's and Cocktails" - seriously.
Suddenly, we see it -- a motorcycle cop walks out into the middle of the freeway and tells us to pull over. That's right, he WALKS. We pull over; he takes one look at us and is clearly going to write us a ticket. May I say it again -- Jell-O Shots, but not for the driver -- which means there was an open bottle somewhere in that car. Well, the driver makes up this whole story about how she doesn't live in Los Angeles (due to her Chicago license) and how she commutes between the two cities and blah, blah, blah... Anyway she does such a good job that he let us go. So here it is... my first trip to Palm Springs as a Dinah Shore virgin, in photos, videos and words. Enjoy ladies.
THE CAR RIDE:
Clearly a great idea.
Then we arrive and the White Party just moments away. We waste no time putting on our white attire, and man did we think we looked good. I personally think we all looked like jack-asses, but that's just me. We throw our stuff down and leave for the White Party in a fury of over-zealous lesbian drama. We drive the four miles it is to the convention center, not even taking time to have a drink, I mean we had to get there, DUH! We see Kesha, we dance, and we love life.

THE WHITE PARTY:
Then, I lose my friends, head back to another friend's hotel room, and end up spending the rest of the weekend with them...

SAT POOL PARTY: HIJINX ENSUE.
Only at Dinah can you wear a beanie and a bathing suit. For some reason we wanted to show off our wristbands.Peep at her SheWired.com tat, and my face is pretty classic.

Thank god Emily has a flower? What is going on???
I'll leave this one a little bigger, so you can see that we're all sporting SheWired.com tats. Clearly the coolest of the cool.
SUNDAY: GOODBYE TO THE SORE, THE DINAH SORE
Ok, so the last day of pool parties, which is what I seemed to frequent and I was rocking the same outfit (we all were), and we got much crazier. So get ready, and no judging, I was with a lot of ladies who were "Dinah Virgins" so we got a little crazier than most.
Our first beer pouring contest...

She wanted to play too. Can you blame me for letting her?

We found more SheWired.com tattoos and we decided this was most likely the best way to put them on.

I'm pretty sure she's enjoying this, but P.S. how the heck is she dancing? And I'm also pretty sure the woman behind us has shorts on that say "Get Some."

We chanted "throw her in, throw her in" for 20 minutes before we decided to do this.
Remorse, so I'm helping her out. P.S. is that a guy's in the back I see????
GOODBYE DINAH...WE WILL TRULY MISS YOU.
Ok, so let's recap, my room mate was pushed in the pool, we had a beer pouring contest, and we put SheWired.com tattoos in inappropriate places, in inappropriate ways. I'm pretty sure I met my wife and the Bartender at Hunters for sure played as the priest in our wedding, and he gave us free shots to consummate the thing. Would I do it again? How could I say no...
Dinah 2011, I'm already getting ready.
Get more entertainment from Rachel here!
