My sister called the other day to share
her latest assessment of life, as we do with each other from time to, when she
stumbled upon a subject so glorious I just could not let it go. And because it would be
poor form to not give credit to the genius who conceived this gem, I have to give a
shout out to my sister’s highly revered
hairdresser – Tammy.
There was this costume party coming up
and a group of women were discussing what to wear when Tammy suggested they
all dress as GIRL SCOUTS! Not just any girl scout mind you, but as COUGAR GIRL
SCOUTS! They would all wear their
uniforms with enough cleavage and bra
showing to have no mistaking the intent. They would wear a sash that contained
different levels of achievement badges (the “Walk of Shame” badge, the “Triple Play”
badge and, of course, “Proper Condom
Application” badge) and carry canteens
filled with. . .wait for it. . . Cosmopolitans! Their troop number? 69!
When I heard this, I howled. But, I
could not just enjoy the laugh for the moment because the scope of this is priceless.
Let’s drop the “girl” part, because face it, none of us look 10 anymore. Let’s call
ourselves Cougar Scouts. And let’s forgo the traditional scout uniform and get a
little creative. I, myself, have always coveted the
white patent leather go-go boots from
the early ‘70’s so I think they should be the official footwear. I also like a cute
tennis skirt with built in panties, after all, we may be cougar’s but we are not easy so it
will take some fancy talking to get to the goodies. Any color is acceptable but it
must be paired with a black tank top. I mean
we are hot – temperature hot that is,
and we are NOT going to be burdened by unnecessary layering. Besides, black is slimming. To accessorize the ensemble, we need a belt – animal print of course, a
matching wristlet to carry lipstick, compact and cab fare. Good scouts do carry
canteens and they should be filled at all times
with the beverage of choice (mine is
red wine) and instead of binoculars, I suggest blinged-out cheater glasses. If you
really want to carry something more binocularly, how about a View Master with a picture
wheel of gorgeous men? Brownies wore
beanies, Girl Scouts wore berets,
Cougar Scouts will wear a scarf as a headband (with or without a Hollywood Bump It
and fake hair) and, of course, a tiara for formal meetings. Meetings will be
established by each troop with an annual meeting in either Florida or California on
alternate years with an optional spa visit mid year.
We could sing altered camp song's:
Do your boobs hang low, do they wobble too and fro
Can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie
'em in a bow Can you throw 'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier Do
your boobs hang low-
Ok - now in rounds. . .
Forget Halloween, I see this as a
national club with troops not only in every state, but every town across the U.S. This
could be huge! But what about troop dues, you ask? There aren't any. Hell, we already paid ‘em!
