Gerald and Las Vegas

Today's adventure: Gerald goes shopping!

First things first...I must have a bag with a shoulder strap. Wussy old lady has tendonitis in her wrists and can't carry the adorable plaid bag

Shall we get the one with the lips? I would love to see GutterMonkey carting this around!



Gerald refuses to get into the lip bag, so instead I get him a really really expensive souvenir of his trip to Vegas.



Now at the Fremont Street Experience...Gerald loves the sparkly things (they were moving and very cool).



Gerald meets his new love



Gerald loves the sparkly hat.



I'm thinking something uncomplimentary about Gerald...



Gerald really wanted a tattoo. He couldn't decide between the skull dagger and the dragon dagger. He was very sad when the tattoo lady told him she couldn't tattoo iron.



It's off to see what Fremont Street has to offer...

Gerald always looks both ways before crossing the street. Serious schmear caused by guy behind me trying to shove me into the path of a car. Okay, maybe he was trying to get me out of the path of the car. It was hard to tell.



Gerald grooves to the sax of Carl "Safe Sax" Ferris, a Fremont Street regular performer. Safe Sax puts down his sax and poses for a picture with Gerald. (If you don't believe me about his name, check out the sign behind them)



A little farther down, Gerald stops to dance to another band.



Gerald loved the pretty Fitz's sign.



Gerald really wanted to go in here. I was less than interested. (For those who don't know, The Girls of Glitter Gulch was formerly known as the Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch, and it's a "Gentlemen's Club.")



And just a final word for the evening, here's Gerald's personal sign...

Gerald and the Store

All righty! Gerald and I stopped at the store on the way home...

Gerald was soaking up the rays in the cart, so I drove realllly slowly.



First stop: Business Cards! Gerald needs something to hand out when all those people stop to ask what's going on. He liked these...



Last stop: Batteries! Get your mind out of the gutter! Need lots of batteries for my piece of crud camera. Gerald votes for Energizers. He likes the bunny.



We get home and Gerald meets the dogs for the first time. Bear loves him.



Bear really really loves him.



Notice that there is no Toby in the pictures. Gerald scares New Jersey right out of Toby.

More to come...

Gerald and the Showgirls

Okay, I was going to go to bed, but I realised that none of my pictures actually showed that Gerald was really in Vegas...so here are a few to tide you over until I get a chance to enter the rest. (Think I should post all 80+ I took tonight?)

Gerald and the girls...and the girls' girls. The girls gave him some bling. he wouldn't take it off all night!



Gerald and the showgirl



Gerald found this mini garden and insisted on jumping in. I had a heck of a time getting him out, because I couldn't reach him and he wouldn't come out. I think he was just enjoying not being in a box!



Okay, Gerald is crashed on the sofa, and I am off to bed. Night, all! More later!
