WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS ...
Amy and Karen, Splendora's in-office brides have each had two bachelorette parties to date. These civilized affairs revolved around eating, bonding, and the occasional beauty treatment. Relieved, both brides thought they had escaped the typical bachelorette experience: barhopping with a drunken gaggle of screaming girls; the shame of having to wear the crass markers of bachelorette humility in a public arena; and the dreaded scavenger hunt for unreasonable items like ... [Edit: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas]. Well, as the Authorities on Fabulous, we couldn't let these bashful beauties escape this obligatory rite of passage. No, no, no. So we Officemates put our noggins together and came up with a top secret plan. One that would enlist the help of a client; our marketing connections; and a local embroidery store. We decided to throw a bachelorette party Splendora Style. It would be extravagant. It would be uproarious. It would be in Las Vegas.

EASY BAKE STARLET
Can you guess which disgruntled la-la-land Eskimo lurks behind the pie tin? This paparazzi-shy star must be smoldering beneath her totally weather inappropriate getup. Considering her past run-ins with the camera-wielding aggressors, we understand her reluctance to pose for the �razzi, but using a baking accessory to hide your face borders on being totally ridiculous. Unless she was planning to whip up a delicious, lattice-topped concoction upon arriving home, this attempt to go incognito was a total waste.
Guess Who?

HAIRCUT 100
We know that the road to being a mommy is a challenging 9-month journey. New body, new clothes, and the elimination of pleasurable treats (i.e. weekends in Vegas drinking Red Bull and vodka, noshing on sashimi, having the occasional smoke.) Instead, pickles get paired with ice cream, the size 29 jeans get shoved aside for sweats, and the hair highlighting ceases. But we expected Brit's more mature hair style to come post-baby, not while the Cheeto stains were so fresh on her marriage license. It was only a few weeks back we saw her sitting at the hair salon getting ratty extensions. But all of a sudden the glue came undone and she lopped off her locks leaving her with a feathered mom 'do circa 1985. It looks like she used a Flowbee on it. We wish that she was still cuttin' a rug instead of cutting her hair.
