Paintin' the Town Black and Gold

I , Nola Chick, am proud to report that despite several bottles glasses of red wine, I survived Sean Payton’s Black and Gold Gala without any restraining order violations, invasion of personal space warnings, or wardrobe malfunctions on the 50 yard line of the Superdome. Or at least…not that I can remember.
The evening lived up to my high expectations. There were fired up Saints fans in the mood to party, celebrity guests, and Saints players, bold enough to walk around body guard free among common folks like me. Ain’t that right Zach Strief?

(If you’re thinking it looks like he could step on me, you’re right…)
While it was nice hob nobbing with Sean Payton (who as you can see from the first picture refused to touch me) and his gorgeous wife Beth, I think we all know which Saint I really had in my sites. That’s right…da Bush. But Reggie’s no fool. He knew better than to get within 500 feet of me sans Kim K. We both knew things could get ugly. So alas, I never got my picture. But don’t you worry Reggie, our time will come…
One man who had no problems cozying up to Nola was ESPN sportscaster and You-Tube’s most famous celebrity f-bomber, Chris Berman. Berman served as the smooth talker and Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

(After the photo, he berated a waiter for 15 minutes for walking behind the camera as our picture was being taken. “Is that when everybody has to move when I’m trying to concentrate? Jesus!”)
Since Nola Chick can’t hob nob without a hot date, I made sure to find the sassiest Saint fan around with whom I could share my evening. And Momma Chick didn’t disappoint.

Isn’t she just 12 kinds of adorable?
While it was a great night for drinking, dancing, and staring lovingly at Drew Brees from afar, I wouldn’t be Nola Chick without making a little sacrifice for my Saints. So what did I sacrifice you ask? Myself. I surrendered to the 50 yard line Fleur-De-Lis in an attempt to turn this season around. If we go 13-3, it’ll be because of this.

Or course, if our season tanks I’ll know that I’m about as useful to the Saints as Steve Bartman was to the Cubs.
