I'm with Perna on this too. Test your wings! Learn to fly! LOL Get out there and check out the merchandise! There might be some great looking guys there who need a good looking girl to show them around.

When no one's looking, you could split that dumb ole reception ~ and have some FUN! LOL Grab a bar of soap and go soap some car windows. LOL
I wouldn't bother with the guy friend either - he'd just cramp your style.
Go and have some fun. Like Madisgram said, you'll never see these people again, so who cares what they think?

Have FUN. Hugs, Lee
