Apparently Team Painfully Hip were cursed on the night of the iPod Battle. How is it we couldn’t win by jitterbugging savagely and in perfect sync to an obscure Nigerian tribal dance jam and then shit-talking at the judge all night long?? Not only that, but the full outfit photos of the Studio 54-esque vintage dresses we bought that day somehow got mysteriously erased from Eve’s camera and all that was left on it were some smug photos of the unofficial winners in their oversized wrestling belts (the cops in Sacramento think that Fun is illegal and shut the bar down at 12:30 for a slight over-capacity situation before a decision was reached - I guess there is such a thing as too much publicity).

However, it was really fun competing against the other most stylish duo in the city, Trisha and Olivia of Pretty Trashy and Bows & Arrows:

…and the winners! Rory (left) and Steve (right) of BROMANCE, rocking gay anthem after gay anthem and bagging hot (though obviously inebriated) ladies in the process.

UPDATE: Here’s a hilarious photo collage from SacTown magazine where they describe me as “doing her best Paris (Hilton) pose.” Ugh.
