for the love of detoxing.

I know it is a bit late in the game to celebrate New Years, but I figure...well, New Years isn't over for another 352 days [don't even get me started on the Chinese Calendar..]! So friends, let me tell you about how this panda celebrates New Years. 

For 2010, I wanted to do something pretty exciting, considering 2009 ended with me stuffed in a box and in the plains in the middle of nowhere. As much as I love my Hudson and Macy...those giants just don't play nice! Anyway, my owner stuffs me in her purse once we were safely in Portland and we go to this party...full of Russians. Now, I'm not sure how anyone here feels about Russians, but they really know how to get down! This was one of the best parties I've been to, and there were only about 12 of us there! We had a sit down meal with a bunch of panda-friendly foods, and then we had a dance dance party to some Russian music. My favorite part, though, was when we got to blow the streamers at midnight and drink Champagne! Let me tell you - I'm pretty sure I had a liver before that night..now I just feel like I'm stuffed full of polyester! I'm definitely detoxing for the next 2 months. Only bamboo for me, please! Enjoy the pictures of me getting down with my panda self and my new Russian friends!

I love streamers. And anything shiny. Apparently my owner likes to wiggle the camera while capturing my profile.

Dance Dance! I should really be on that TV show Dancing with the Stars...this panda would win every time!

 

Here's me, ringing in the New Year. Do I need that champagne? That's like asking if I have enough crap on my head. 

 

The end of the night. This Panda partied hard, and I hope you all did too! 

Happy New Year, everyone! Even if it is 12 days late! 

Love, Panda.
