Sangria...With Champagne

Peanut Butter and Jelly. Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. These are just a few of things that belong together...much like Sangria and Champagne. What a fantastic combination of sweet, fruity, bubbly, and Delicious. The best one I've had so far is at the SLS hotel in Beverly Hills. And the fun part about it is you can order it just about anywhere. You can get it at the bar. You can get it while you eat. You can get it in your room. On the rooftop or by the pool. Basically it's like green eggs and ham but without the weird cat dude and in a much more comfortable setting. Although, I'm sure if you want to drink it in a tree, the SLS hotel can arrange it.

Portugal...With Champagne

Now I can't say that I have been to Portugal.
But With Champagne's very own global correspondent is currently traveling overseas bringing us the latest and greatest from around the globe. That's right, I said With Champagne has a global correspondent. What? You thought we were some kinda rinky dink operation running out of a 2 bedroom apt in a dingy part of Korea Town? I don't think so. Now back to what I was saying...
Doesn't that champagne look good? Isn't Portugal beautiful?
Hmm...I knew I should have asked her to send me more than a picture.

Pool...With Champagne

You have your hot new swim suit on. You're all lathered up in an SPF ranging between 4 and 40, depending on your skin type. You just filled your Ipod up with your favorite "That's right, I'm layin' by the pool" songs. You are ready. You are ready for that ice cold glass of champagne.
You watch the bartender pour the drink, a drink fit for Celebrities and Royalty, into a...Plastic Cup! What? How dare you disgrace this fine beverage or shall I say, la boisson, whose grapes have been harvest half way across the globe, in the rich and fertile soils of Champagne, France.
"No glass by the pool" she says "It's either plastic or nothing at all."
Everything stood still as I imagined sunning myself sans champagne.
I felt like I was drowning yet I hadn't even set foot in the pool.
I made my way back to the lounge chair, pulled my shades down and put my feet up . Champagne in a plastic cup never looked so good.

Power Tie...With Champagne

I could go on for days about how many things the power tie and champagne have in common. Here's a look at the top ten uncanny similarities:
1. Timeless. They never go out of style
2. Both mean business
3. Acceptable in both the Morning and Evening
4. ...and the morning after
5. Great for business functions, holidays or any celebratory occasion
6. Both are used to successfully close deals
7. You will always be the center of attention and Damn, you'll look good in that center
8. Both say to the room...I'm running this shit.
9. Although color and brand vary, intent always stays the same.
10. I've certainly worn both of them...
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're going out tonight with a power tie on, bellying up to the bar and ordering yourself a bottle of champagne. But be forewarned little grasshopper...that amount of power can be dangerous. One wrong turn and you'll wake up naked, in the middle of the desert, covered in molasses...at best.
Trust me.

Pearl Jam...With Champagne

Dear Pearl Jam,
Thank you. Thank you for 4 amazing nights in Los Angeles. Thank you for rocking out harder than any other band ever. Eddie, Thank you for chugging wine on stage. You make me want to be a better person. Although I'm not going to lie, champagne would have been a little cooler. Thank you for playing the Gibson Auditorium, one of the only theaters in LA that serves champagne. Thank you for saying "Fuck the set list." I am going to apply that motto to everything I do. I'm going to create a movement; a movement inspired by Pearl Jam and backed by a whole lot of champagne. On second thought, maybe that's a bad idea.
Damn. It sounded so good last night!

Fake Tattoo...With Champagne

I know what you are thinking. Is that a purple chicken on her arm? And the answer is Yes. It's purple. It's definitely a chicken. And it's a tattoo. Gasp! Now, who...?
Well I'll tell you who...the new age champagne drinker is who.
Because it's fake!
You see, drinking champagne and getting a fake tattoo is the new getting wasted on vodka and getting a real tattoo.
You can paint on an tough exterior yet keep your untainted innocence. This new wave of fake tattoos also allows you to be as creative as you want. Go get that tattoo of Meatwad on your wrist. Dabble in rainbows for a day. Don't shy away from a purple chicken, if a purple chicken is what you crave. Just make sure to have a glass of bubbly near by.
This way you look classy, even though your tattoo may not.

Shadow...With Champagne

Who is she? How did she get here? Who does she know? Where is she going? These are all valid questions for a shadow with champagne. Such shadows evoke so many thoughts and emotions. It's like you know her...you've known her for so long, but you just can't quite put a finger on where you met her or why you parted. All you know is that you just can't stop thinking about her. Again, nothing to be ashamed of here. But just don't waste too much time with these questions because before you know it, within a blink of an eye, she'll be gone...and so will all the champagne.
