Today’s topic was derived from a local Vancouver Newspaper that we read regularly. Sarah Rowland has a column called “The Dating Chronicles” and this article caught our eye. We thought it would be a great show idea, and after emailing and asking her, she agreed. So here goes.
Whether it is a skanky one night stand or your first unexpected overnight with someone special, there is no getting around “The Walk Of Shame”, the morning after! Men have it way easier to go unnoticed when it comes to making that dreaded trek home at 8am. They aren’t wearing stilettos, red lipstick, plunging necklines or fishnet stockings! (unless they are transvestites on Davie Street in Vancouver)
Women however, have the added burden of whisker burned chins, thrashed nylons, and head board hair! Pray that you were smart enough to pick a guy that doesn’t live a sky train ride away to the burbs, and that a short cab ride will get you home quickly from the prying eyes of the public. There is nothing worse than your neighbors seeing you coming home at the early hours wearing your sexy attire from the previous night. There is just no explaining that one, it as obvious as it gets! How do we prepare for this in case it happens more than once?
Bring the following items in a medium size purse when you feel a big night coming on:
• Tinted Eyewear: This hides bloodshot eyes and direct eye contact with people you come in contact with. Of course if it is rainy or cloudy, you will stand out a little.
• Eye Makeup Remover or Wipes: (If you liked this guy you do not want him to remember you as an Alice Cooper Look alike. It is a big clue to anyone on the street that you had a good romp the night before too!)
• Fold up Flats or Ballet Slippers: Nothing says “I skanked last night” quite like a 6 inch pair of stilettos!
• Travel Toothbrush: You may want to kiss your guy goodbye if you haven’t already freaked out with the first ray of sunshine and run out of his apartment. No one wants to kiss a woman who has kitty litter breath!
• Hair Scrunchie or Elastic: This is the best way to get rid of the JGFL ( Just got #@#%& look) in you have longer hair. For all your short haired girls, carry a small travel size tube of hair gel in your purse and run it through your hair to get rid of that “Got laid last night” look!
• Spare Underwear: I swear mens beds have a built in tool that snatches women’s underwear right from underneath them never for her to find again. Small panties or a thong fit easily into your purse!
• Chapstick or light colored gloss: Cherry Red Lipstick just screams “Last night”!
• Extra Nylons or Leggings: Depending on the time of year and temperature of course. It is better to go bare legged than to do the walk of shame in torn nylons. Shimmery Tights and fishnets seldom get through a evening unscathed.
• Tylenol and Tampons: most men do not have more than 3 items in their medicine cabinet. Don’t be caught off guard on his 500 thread count white satin sheets!
• Condoms: Never assume anyone has protection, always come prepared yourself. Doing the walk of shame is one thing, but walking pregnant for nine months, is another show!
