You may remember that we took our kids to watch the pirate battle in front of Treasure Island Casino in Vegas last March. Little did we know, the show had been entirely re-vamped to be very suggestive...oops! Unfortunately, between the cannon balls and gunfire, Amber caught on to the plot of the show (pirates searching for literal booty...nice) and really took a liking to the star, Cinnamon, with "Sin" for a nickname. From that moment, she has been obsessed with Sin, the pirate girl, and had a pirate birthday party, found a pirate costume, showed off all her scandalous dance moves, etc. When she heard we were going back to Las Vegas, she immediately packed her pirate dress, had me put in her pirate earrings, and sprinkled every conversation with references to Sin and how excited she was to be going back. Amber asked me if I had Sin's phone number so she could call her to tell her she'd be there watching, and she even thought for a minute that Sin might let Amber climb up on her ship and slide down the rope. Aaaagh! This is my four-year-old speaking!
The minute she awoke on Saturday, Amber jumped into her pirate dress and couldn't be convinced to wear anything else. The events of the day were such that we couldn't stick around in Vegas long enough to see the show (oh, darn...I was crushed) and poor Amber was heartbroken. She sobbed with the most sad cry for almost 20 minutes as we left the city, and was comforted only by being told that we'd definitely come back for her to see the show some other time. I guess when a person has a stripper for a role model, they're bound to be let down in some way or another...he he!
i still remember her dancing on the couch. still makes derrick and i laugh! poor amber, maybe sin and her can hook up another time :)
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! She and Colin would get along great - pirate buddies!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Amber is one funny girl with a sure career in Vegas if she wants it enough. I'm so proud that she is at least branching away from the ultra frou-frou side of girl parties. Perhaps an introduction to Capt. Jack Sparrow is in order or Miss Elizabeth Swan. She's not that kind of booty piratess. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI used to tease Garth all the time because when he turned 18 his friends took him to DeJaVu for a "show" and he got a match box with the "dancer's" name (cinnamon) on it. Who knew she would one day be the role model for a 4 year old?!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a funny post. One that you can recall many years later when she is all grown up and will be easily embarrassed. Believe me I know! But she does look awful cute in her costume.
