So Ira, Sunita and I planned to have a Halloween/costume party.
After much delay, here it is.You are cordially invited to the First Annual Traffic Light Party (not to be confused with the Red Light Party - which happens later when the Human Brillo Pads lead those of us still standing to OT.)
So what are the rules?
1. If you are attached and not interested in browsing wear RED
2. If you are attached but open to new opportunities wear YELLOW
3. If you are totally available wear GREEN
Word of warning, WE will be strictly policing the party. YELLOWs masquerading as REDs and REDs masquerading as GREENs will be forced to consume outrageous amounts of alcohol.
In addition:
4. If you are asexual please wear BLACK
5. If you have a perfectly sculpted abdomen wear NOTHING silly
We feel such colour-coding simplifies matters immensely (especially given the large amounts of alcohol we are hoping will be consumed by all.)
WHAT: 1st Annual Traffic Light Incident
WHERE: #03-08, Liang Seah Place, 1 Liang Seah Street (Near Bugis Junction)
WHEN: After 9pm, Saturday 18th November
Thank you for your cooperation
Sunita Ira Ashwin
P.S. I hate cleaning, so food will not be provided. There will be plenty of booze but bring more if you would like
P.P.S. Quick reminder - vomiting, blender-breaking, cat fights and sobriety will not be permitted (though, sobriety will be allowed should you feel in the vomiting or breaking a blender or starting a cat fight mood)
P.P.P.S. Credit for the theme goes to Ira and Sunita. They vetoed my idea for a Star Wars themed party. Perhaps next year we can merge the two ideas; everyone wears brown robes and brings a RED, YELLOW or GREEN light sabre
No one brought a camera - so there were no pictorial documentation of our little social experiment.
Nevertheless under the tight, laboratory-like conditions of Ashwin's Loft-Apartment, we have confirmed the following hypotheses -
1. Guys will flock where other guys are - ergo despite the battalion of green-clad girls, all the guys hovered around the red , i.e. Archana, Ira, Arpita and Quik-to-Pas-Out-Girl.
2. Some Guys flocked around Quik-to-Pas-Out-Girl AFTER she had passed out - thus proving the hypothesis further.
3. All the good guys are either red or a very gay-green
4. Nobody looks good in yellow.
5. People will listen to you and do stupid things if you package it properly.
And the Honourable mentions of the Evening go to....
1. Patrick
Yellow T-Shirt, Green Shirt on Top and Red Hat i.e.
Although I am available, I am really confused inside but don't you dare mess with my head!!
2. Karthik
Green T-Shirt Inside, White Pants and Unbuttoned Creamish Yellow Shirt
I am available but I am not Easy! Also if Black is asexual then white must be....
3. Sol
Who very kindly yelled at the Greens who were attempting to dance with or get with Reds - OI YES YOU! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE IS RED? ARE YOU LIKE *&%^$!!*&^ BLIND?!!
