Bistro 5 (one of the places I´m working) threw a babyshower for one of the waitresses I work with.  Mariza is about 5 months pregnant.

So I´ve never been to a babyshower.  I have no idea if they are all like this or not.  There were a bunch of ridiculous games followed by a lunch and then present opening.

The Bistro team.  Look closely in the back and see David flipping me off... this is how they roll here.

Here are a few of the games that were played:

Dress the baby blindfolded.  I didn´t get involved in this one.  All of these guys have experience with this already.

Marlon.  Marlon was all gameface in this one.  His son was "helping" him out... he´s dressing the wrong baby though.

Popping balloons

This one lasted about 30 seconds.  Marlon´s son Alejandro ended up getting totally confused/overwhelmed with what was happening and started crying...

that abraham combie shirt, so suave.

So ya, its getting bad. When Rachid was here, we were walking down the street and I was showing him the abraham combie shirt. I then realized that every artical of clothing that I was wearing at the time (minus my shoes but including sunglasses) was from the mercado…

Mercado wear… I`m pretty into it actually. You need to be smart about it though. Have to aprovechar a la paca* and get the rest from puro mercado.

* paca by the way is a huge, secret, second-hand clothes store at the back of the mercado. I got 3 shirts (pierre cardin, h&m, and something else) for Q40.

yes, definitely have to aprovechar la paca, i send my articles of clothing in pacas, you might actually be wearing my hand-me-downs. here i get paid per $1/lbs of clothing.

you always guess mom’s belly, that’s a standard game… the balloon popping, a little scary. i too may have cried if i saw adults hugging a giant inflatable “belly” and it bursting under pressure. adults eating baby food, for sure… add a blindfold, why not? passing limes, risque… but why not get the ball rolling on that next shower.
