Welcome

For years, I've found myself in ridiculous situations...and, now, you'll hear all about them.

Proving Stereotypes

Last Friday, I met a friend at Tavolino's in Patriot's Place for some of the yummiest pizza I've ever had, delicious drinks, bread that was as soft as a cloud and interaction with a dreamy waiter. We haven't seen each other in quite a while so it was great to catch up with her.
After dinner, we went into a few shops - Victoria's Secret, Old Navy and Charming Charlie's. After the stores closed at 9pm, we decided to drop our leftover pizza and purchases in our cars and head over to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill for their live music.
One of the best ideas we've ever had!
I've never been in there before and the very second I was served a Bud Light in a large mason jar, I knew that this was my type of place! I wouldn't say that I'm a huge country music fan but I don't change the station if a country song comes on the radio. I enjoy Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift and others that would, most likely, be considered "pop" by die hard country music fans.
What I can't get enough of, apparently, is country western stereotypes. If you're not sure of what a country western stereotype is, go to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill...immediately.
Not since the Big E have I seen so many plaid shirts, cowboy boots and John Deere hats.
As we stood on the outskirts of the dance floor, I was amazed as all of the stereotypes walked past me. They might as well have had straw in their mouths. I had no idea that Foxborough, MA, the home of the New England Patriots, was home to so many...dare I say it?...rednecks.
Don't get me wrong. We had an amazing time. The music was great, the venue was huge, the beer was cold and the crowd was just as entertaining as the band.
I wouldn't consider myself judgemental of others but a night like the one we experienced makes it hard to discount those stereotypes. For example, see the photo above. Not only is this girl rocking her white cowboy boots, but she's wearing a white top to match, a short denim skirt and...wait for it...NYLONS! Oh, also, her white belt with rhinestone "PEACE" was worn upside down. For a moment, I thought it said "PEREZ"...but it didn't. I don't think it really matters though.
