Ha Ha Haute Bob Saget

Comedy event at Memorial Auditorium
 Bob Saget AKA Danny Tanner
For Mature Audiences Only


So last night I was preparing for an evening of laughter, and of course, I wanted to wear something fun.
I decided on a nice pair of jeans and a colorful button-down/sweater combo, 
but we'll get to that later.

Also on my mind was the idea that going to a stand-up comedy show would be a perfect date. 
Laughing the whole night away to inappropriate jokes is an easy-going casual way to get to know someone. You can also get to know their personality better. If they can't laugh at certain jokes, it could be a conversation starter. Maybe later you can ask why they don't like those jokes? Or if they hardly laugh at all, maybe they don't have a good sense of humor? And what fun is that?

Needless to say, fellas, if you're reading this, take my advice and go for the entertaining comedy night 
. . . and make sure to laugh. 

And I'm not going to lie, this event and outfit choice were both good excuses to take a picture like this one below.

Pink, blue, pastels, Oh my!
And my nail polish even matches...

Being a blonde with blue eyes certainly makes it easier to wear pastels . . . 
so it's obvi* that half of my closet is pastel.
Also some people tend to think that pastels can wash you out, 
but when you're as white as a ghost (like myself), 
there's nothing that can't wash you out.

Let's face it, any color in the rainbow could "wash me out", 
but I can't let that stop me from wearing what I want to wear. 

And that's okay!
I'm pale and proud!

Don't you love my pink curtain?
I call this preppy nerd chic. 
Argyle patterns and button-downs are classic pieces that everyone should have in their closets.
Throw them together and you'll have "class for days."*

Those little bird earrings are some of the cutest and quirkiest in my collection.
Betsey Johnson for the win!

Aaron Kleiber was absolutely splendid. I thoroughly enjoyed his act, and I loved that he incorporated some of his family members into the hilarity. He's unquestionably a talented comedian and I would enjoy seeing him again sometime, maybe with him as the headliner??
He was also quite excited when I told him that I was going to post about him on my blog. He deliberately went to a group of people in the lobby at Memorial Auditorium and said, "I'm makin' the blog, I'm makin' the blog!" He put a smile on my face, so SHOUT OUT to Aaron Kleiber for being awesome! http://www.aaronkleiber.com
 And here he is!

Bob Saget's performance was exactly what I expected. Nothing more, nothing less.
He was as vulgar as I prepared for and as funny as I hoped for. 
His vulgarity did not take away from his performance, and he made the show quite personal, picking on audience members, deliberately improv-ing, 
and saying what a great audience we were. 
He definitely had the audience riled up at every moment,
but the beer that was being served probably helped with that. 

He also happened to mention that he was quite comfortable on our stage, 
and he gave several nods to Ohio University 
(mostly about it being a party school, but still).

He has certainly paved his way as a comedian, but he will never be anything other than
clean-cut, prim, and proper Danny Tanner that I've always loved. 

I'll add in for any of you that might want to know that Bob Saget was wearing
 a charcoal grey suit and black converse. 
Saget undoubtedly got the preppy nerd chic memo and he was rocking it.

After waiting out in the freezing temperatures for at least half an hour, 
the fabulous Danny Tanner . . . oops I mean Bob Saget, finally appeared outside. 
He was kind and clearly cold, but he was quite a good sport when it came to pictures.

The camera I was using happened to have two flashes, and he kept moving,
so I ended up with 3 pictures of him instead of one!

This was the best of the three...

Also if you can't tell from the picture, he is an extremely tall man . . . kind of a giant actually.

*Obvi = short form of the word obviously and/or obvious
*class for days = way of being. The art of being extremely classy for an extended period of time. In a sentence: Audrey Hepburn had class for days.
Get the look: 
Blue argyle sweater - Forever 21
Pink striped button shirt - Old Navy
Blue bird earrings - Betsey Johnson
Forever Make Up Lipstick (Color: Rouge Artist Natural) - Sephora

I also wore American Eagle Jeans and riding boots from JCPenney.

And my coat in the last picture is from Forever 21.
