Red Dress Run

Definitely on the list of top ten things that I have done in Louisiana! I did this "run" the second weekend in August with two co-workers (one for La and one from Ca that is also seconded to La, like me), Ca co-worker's girlfriend, and another friend from La. For those of you that aren't aware, Red Dress is a four to five mile beer run/walk that loops around downtown New Orleans. ALL participants, even men, are required to wear a red dress.

Several days after the event, I sent a few photos(with his blessing) of the run containing my fellow Ca co-worker and I in our red dresses back to our home office in SoCal for the company newsletter. In October, I visited my home office in SoCal where my former boss reminded me that upon my return from Virginia the other year he told me how disappointed he was to hear that I had gotten my three male co-workers that I lived with while on the East Coast to bake X-mas cookies with me, drink cosmos, and argue over whether to watch Ugly Betty or Desperate Housewives. He mentioned that at the time he did not think it necessary to tell me not to put them in red dresses. (The male co-worker that did this event with me was one of my roommates in Virginia.) :)
