With the possible exception of Halloween, New Year’s Eve is the best holiday to drink and smoke a bit too much, party for too long, and do something that could be considered a true Hot Mess. All the ingredients for a Hot Mess are there: booze, huge parties both public and private, more booze, people looking to forget the year by pairing up with a stranger, music, dancing, even more booze, and a giant ball dropping from the sky at the stroke of midnight.
So do you have a particularly juicy story about a New Year’s Day walk of shame and the events that preceded it? Did you once spend NYE watching your 80-year-old grandmother dance with mostly nude party boys outside of a gay bar blaring “It’s Raining Men”? Did you once black out while partying and wake up in a different city, state, or country? Perhaps you woke up with a dull pain on your back only to discover that you’d gotten a tattoo to celebrate the new year?
Whatever it is, we’d love to hear about it and publish your story! So shoot us an email at taylor@thefreshtoast.com. We will, of course, keep your tale of woe or triumph anonymous (unless you want the world to know who you are!).
And Happy New Year!
