JEWEL IN THE DESERT
Las Vegas. A sea of lights twinkling in the surrounding gloom, enticing all and sundry to come and be caught up in the magic. A gentler description? Little lamps lit and set afloat on a dark river, a river of dreams.
Vegas on New Year’s Eve was all it promised to be. Brash, loud, noisy and in your face. The glitz and the glamour, all the ugliness hidden under the bright lights. So much like the ladies of the night, collecting all that is dark and ugly and holding it in, so the rest of world can breathe easy.
Caught in a mad crush of people, busy filming everything, and to have friends who made sure I was safe. People waving at my camera, and yelling Happy New Year. Being horrified when things went crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuunch under my feet and finding out I was walking on a sea of glass.
Sympathizing with guys whose girl friends were so drunk they could hardly stand up let alone walk. And marveling that the bunch I was with, not a single one was. Talk about weird things!!!
A lovely new year’s eve, one that will stay special!!!
