Ta-Ta (for now) Memphis!

On our last night together...
The Rev took me outside...
looked up towards the heavens...
and said a little prayer....
"Dear God....
Olga's leaving tomorrow...so please
let it snow in Memphis one more time before she goes!?
Amen."

Double-D THANK YOU Rev (and The Colonel) for an absolutely
FANTASTIC adventure!
I shall carry my Memphis memories with me forever and ever! Fo' Sho'!
PLEASE VISIT THE REV'S BLOG (click here!) FOR A GREAT VIDEO RECAP OF OUR ADVENTURES!

Olga Gets The Blues In Memphis, Tennessee

A trip to Memphis - the Home of The Blues and Birthplace of Rock 'n Roll - would not be complete without a trip to Beale Street!Olga, the Traveling Bra hits the streets of Memphis!So I hit The Street
and got down and dirty...  Olga, the Traveling Bra gets the Blues! with the "Father of the Blues," W.C. Handy,
Olga, the Traveling Bra rock 'n rolls with Elvis!
and then shook things up with The King of Rock 'n Roll
(and my Memphis Chaperon, The Rev, of course!)
Inside Peabody Place, this big ol' southern bear was happy to pose with a bodacious yankee bra such as myself!


And The Colonel and I had a BALL (several, actually) at FedExForum!
Then we peeked in at The Historic Daisy Theatre...
...and got peeked right back at!Finally, The Rev and I checked out the Mississippi River, The Mississippi River Bridge and The Memphis Pyramid (in the background.)
Hmmmm
.....I'm thinking that river looks waaaay too cold for a baptism Rev!.....but I wonder......if we got a couple of donuts, would ya help me launch 'em up river at Speedy in Hollydale, Minnesota?

Call 911! Olga's DOWN!

After my grueling 24 hour work week...with cups spent and straps achin'....
I staggered through The Rev's front door and just fell down FLAT!

(Let's face it....I am way too delicate old spoiled...just not cut out to be a working bra.)

Thank God, Our Neighborhood Reverend is also studying to be an
Emergency Medical Technician!
OMG!  I'm FLAT!

He quickly dropped to his knees, whipped out his newly issued stethoscope, checked for a pulse...and determined that I was indeed "non-responsive!"

CPR was administered...and it was touch 'n go for a while...

...but The Rev's magic touch
yanked me back into the land of the living!
Woo-hooo!!!

Hey! Did someone say he's got a bottle of
wine with my NAME on it?
Now THAT'S more like it!

I've Been A Busy Bra!

Please forgive my lack of posting...
I'm stuck in an office 8:00am-5:00pm this week...
and it's really putting a dent in my blogging time!
(Darn it!)
But one thing I've learned is...
Looking like you're working when you're really
Twittering is tricky business...
and if you're not careful...
...can lead a girl to drink!

Mellow Yellow/Music Monday

The Rev took this picture of me with Mae West's
star outside The Orpheum Theatre in downtown Memphis...
Mae was the queen of double entendres...and a gal after my own heart!

"I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure."

"When choosing between two evils,
I always like to try the one I've never tried before."

"I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it."

"It ain't no sin if you crack a few laws now and then,
just so long as you don't break any."

"Good women are no fun. The only good woman I can recall in history was
Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag."

"The best way to behave is to misbehave."

"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."

Cuttin' The Rug With The Rev...

So, the other night
The Rev invited a few friends over for a little dinner party...
As you can see, they were such NICE guys,
I quickly became very attached to them!

Ah yes...'twas a lovely evening...
The salad was yummy and wine divine...
and the main course was something Italian...
but I don't really remember what it was called 'cuz...
I was too distracted by the...
Tiramisu!!!
(Yes...I stuffed my cups!)
But the best part came after dinner when The Rev swooped me up in his arms and swung, swirled, twirled and dipped me 'round the living room 'till I was so dizzy I almost threw up my Tiramisu felt just like Cinderella dancing at the Ball with Prince Charming! Thanks for the dance lessons Rev!...they'll come in very handy at my next destination. (shhhh....that's a secret!)

Seein' The Light With The Reverend

Having spent just a few days longer than I woulda liked
crammed into yet another dark FedEx envelope wasn't exactly hell on earth,
but then again,
I was starting to wonder if maybe my wicked ways
stoopid behavior interesting past was finally catching up with me!

Thank God The Rev showed up when he did and set me FREE!
Then, being The Good Reverend that he is,
offered me his own special brand of communion ~ Whiskey 'n Water!
Soon I found myself confessing all my sins chattin' it up with
Then I said my prayers (I'm prayin' fo' some BBQ!)
before passing out on the lampshade falling asleep!

Stay tuned fo' mo'!
Fo' sho'!
