Holiday Golightly

Gimme a "J"!
J - as in "Jahaaa, it's summer!"
U - as in "Uh, it's totally summer."
L - as in "Lemme tell you, it certainly is summer!"
Y - as in "Y aren't you listening to me?  It's SUMMER!"
 
So, what we're trying to say, is that it’s summer.  Actual, honest-to-goodness summer, with the sun and the warm and the lemonade and the popsicles and all the rest of that good stuff.  We hope you’re enjoying yours!  Now take a little time to enjoy the view.  Oh, wait, that’s not our catchphrase.  But we can say “take a little time to enjoy the newsletter”, how about that?

How Patriotic Were You?

Did you attend a fun 4th of July party this past weekend?  And was the special party drink a Mint Julep?  And was there also a patriotic trifle at this  party?
 
 
And did you drink too many Mint Juleps, and eat too much trifle, then walk 4 miles home from the 4th of July party with your stomach gurgling and lurching?  No?  Just me then. 
 
Well, whatever you did, and wherever you were, I hope you kept cool and breezy.  We have some helpful "getting dressed" tips on how to survive the heat.

Bachelorette Survey SAYS!
If you’re planning your bachelorette party, or just planning to attend one this summer, you’ll want to see how your opinions stack up against the masses.
 
 
 
We conducted a survey about bachelorette parties, and the results will astonish you.  Okay, not really.  The results were pretty much in line with what we've been thinking all along:  no more penis paraphernalia, please. The survey also included an open-ended question, where respondents wrote in some of the most fun, creative bachelorette parties they had either planned or attended.  We picked our Top 10 favorites and shared with you.
New Pages, Starring YOU!

The little elves over in the Holiday Golightly workshop are busily scurrying around and working hard one a few new website features.  You know how we have that special Bachelorette-focused page? (if you don't know, you can just click the link and then know)  We will shortly have several other themed pages, for you, at your disposal, what have you.  If you've seen our home page, and thought "Oh I love those rotating photos of the girlfriends!  I wish I could send some of my girlfriend photos to be included in that.", your wish has been granted.  If you have any girlfriend photos that relate to the following themes, we'd love to feature them:  
Beach, Active, Spa, Food & Wine, Nightlife, Shopping, Culture
 
Just send the photo(s) as an attachment to holiday@holidaygolightly.com!

Escaping the Heat

URF, summer is hot!  We’re wilting, we’re melting – we’re WELTING (or milting?). 
 
A few words/phrases we'd rather not hear right now:  100% humidity, scorching, blistering, oppressive heat, melting blacktop pavement. 
 
We did a little research to find where the high temps are below 85 this week:
 
Seattle, WA:  High of 79 on Wednesday
 
San Francisco, CA:  High of 79 Thursday 
 
Butte, MT: High of 83 Wednesday & Thursday
 
Los Angeles, CA: High of 84 Thursday
 
Think:  Polar ice caps, arctic chill, frozen mudslide...
Now I'm just thirsty.
