You Can't Take Them Anywhere! Reno

This week, we kick off the travel portion of our new show with a trip to sunny Reno, Nevada (made possible by the nice people at the Reno-Sparks Convention & Visitors Authority).

While in Reno, we stayed at the posh Peppermill Hotel Casino, snowboarded ourselves into exhaustion at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe and Northstar at Tahoe Resort, were taught to snow mobile like champions by our friends at Lake Tahoe Snowmobile Tours, and were pampered with facials and manicures/pedicures by Jenny O and friends at Salon 7, and luxurious massages at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Stillwater Spa.

In between all of the pampering and outdoor activities, we managed to squeeze in some nonstop recreational eating at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa buffet, Daughters Cafe, the Lone Eagle Grille, Beaujolais Bistro, The Chocolate Bar, and Grand Sierra Resort's Dolce (where we spilled our wine and they served us dinner anyway).

As you watch our show, please remember that we're dedicated to doing the tough job of first class world travel just for you. Not everyone would be willing to fly to exotic locales, enjoy fine dining and the very best that cities around the world have to offer, but Bridget and I are totally committed to our mission to have fun on behalf of lesbians everywhere. We're happy to seek out ideal lesbian travel destinations on your behalf, it's really no trouble at all.

    Working Conditions...

    I really think you two need to have a talk with Sarah about the working conditions she puts you through. I mean, really, taking a trip to Reno to snowboard, film vlogs, and hang out with a bunch of lesbians?

    I thought I had it bad with my boss. ;)

    vicarious vacation

    Love the Lake Tahoe area.  Looks like you guys had a good time (minus the bruises).  Thunderbolt is definitely rockin' the 80's hair helmet.  Looking forward to future travel adventures (with cheerleading!).

    you're kidding!

    I read that you were headed to Tahoe, but we were literally in the same place at the same time! My partner and I skiied Northstar twice this past weekend, and enjoyed a delicious if overpriced (more than New York!) dinner at Lone Eagle. Wish we saw you there!

    And are you as sore as we are?

    I didn't know Karman played guitar! That's awesome.

    Man, I want your job when I grow up. :-P

    And with regards to made up words I think chillaxing is very wristcuffy.

    thunderbolt... she bolts, in the manner of thunder

    The show is fun, and Reno looks nice, but mostly, I'm just charmed by Bridget's stuffed-animal sidekick theme.

    So jealous

    So jealous! Seriously... I didn't get to go this year, because... well... I had no money.  And pretty much everyone I know went skiing, except me...:( BTW: I've never seen a piste that was that empty. All the times I went the piste was extremely crowded. Maybe France is just more popular than Reno or something... But gosh, look at the sunny weather... *sigh*

    What's up with Bridget and stuffed animals?:p

    OMG: Can I be your Dutch Baby?! Literaly, I'm Dutch and a baby! Lol

    Where Can I Sign Up?

    After watching you both I was left with the question... where can I sign up?

    You were both (as always) 100% fantastic and dedicated to taking on all of the most difficult tasks/challenges to bring us such a great vlog!

    I agree with everyone else who has been saying that chillaxin' is definitely a word and a perfect one at that... so just keep on using it!

    As always many thanks for the great vlog... you ladies ROCK!

    P.S. Great job with the sound on this one ladies (as you said it would be Karman). Also, lovin' your apartment (what we saw of it), especially the great posters in the background!

    Shall I abide in this dull world, which in her absence is no better then a sty?
    Alisha's picture

    Fun!

    This reminds me that I need a vacation! Though I'm a total klutz and would break something trying to snowboard...but I do love snowmobiling!

     BTW- everyone should get a massage! (This coming from a massage therapist/massage therapist instructor)

    Heyyy...

    I <3 Reno

    Ms. Davies's picture

    Cool

    OK, I need to visit Reno now! It looked so much fun. And I love all the snow and cold around me.

    Bridget was so cute all in white.. and Karman was frickin' hot playing the guitar.

    As usual Bridget makes me laugh the whole time. She's not just a comedian, she's a goofball! I love her!

    Please feel free to travel more and show us the whole world girls.. altough it is a tough job! ;)

    Good decor...

    This is totally ot, but Karman, I love that you have prints of lesbian pulp novels on your walls!

    I'm glad that y'all had fun - I am more of a klutz than K is and haven't seen snow but once in the last five years, but you made me want to try it.

    MY TWO FAVORITE LADIES

    I heart Karmen and Bridget and Bridget and Karmen.  Those two are so much fun and have great chemistry.  

    I have now added Reno to my list of places I must travel to.  Thanks ladies what's the next travel destination?

     

    THUNDERBOLT RULES THE SLOPES! 

     

     

    Laura's picture

    That was great!!

    Awesomee!!

    It looks like it was a huge sacrifice going to Reno, huh?

     

    You two are great togetherrr!!!

    That 'no mullet' sign and karman falling asleep cracked me up!

    Harpy's picture

    Great vacation vlog!

    That really was cute.  Definitely one of my favorite vlogs to date.  Karman sleeping was hilarious.  Oh, and I agree with Egret, I've skiied before and did a miserable job of it.  I always thought snowboarding might be easier but I'm not so sure anymore -- But I sort of want to try it after watching this.

    [grins]  Mary and Mitsy were great!  Thunderbolt too.  Awesome that they were willing to participate and help out with the camera work.  Too bad we didn't get any live-action snow mobilling though. 

    Man, I need to look up these AE fringe benefits.  All I do is piss people off by moderating their posts and telling them to be nice.  Hah! 

    I may totally have a crush on Karman too.  And not just because she has the same Tournée du Chat Noir print that I do. 

    _________

    Watch out for the pokey-ball! OMG!
    wickedgrrl's picture

    good times

    I've never felt the need to visit Tahoe/Reno but I may have to add it to my wish list.  Thanks for the scenery pics and the laughter.  I've always just done the ski thing when on the slopes, but I may have to try boarding the next trip.

    This was awesome, funny and

    This was awesome, funny and totally entertaining as always with you two. How on Earth do I find a job like yours???????

    Reno seemed beautiful, a great place to relax.

    Karman playing the guitar.... sooooo hot!!

    Bridget´s best quote: "Which should be funny since I snowboard and Karman falls" you are so funny.

    PS: both of you looked great in those outfits

    imthey's picture

    not that I needed another

    not that I needed another reason to want to go to Tahoe again but seeing all the fun you two had made me want to go right now! That entire area is so gorgeous, I bet it felt great to escape LA for a few days! 

    I love to think I can snowboard but I'm not anywhere close to being a competent boarder so I think it would have been mimosas and bloody mary's for me as well.

    Thunderbolt is great, but a My Little Pony would have been fantastic...and a lot more gay :)

    Reno!

    I can't get the video to work right now (Flash has been wonky on my computer as of late), but I wanted to mention that the Chocolate Bar is one of the best places in Reno. Their fondue and chocolate cocktails are to die for.

    Also, I can pimp myself out for additional info on the Reno/Carson/Tahoe area, if anyone's interested. I've lived in the area for most of my relatively brief life, so I know some things.

    ice cream's picture

    Yeah, yeah.

    It's a bad, awful, terrible, disgusting and bloody dangerous job. But someone has to do it, right?

    Karman, Bridget, I am sooooo infinitely grateful you are willing to sacrifice yourselves for us in the most heroic fashion.

    I am. Really. Believe me. 

    (*dies of snowboard and slope induced JEALOUSY*)

     

    P.S.: No mullets? Should be a no brainer. Strange. Very strange.

    Explorergal's picture

    T-Bolt, Chair lifts and Snow anything

    Bridget and Karman anywhere doing anything.....FABULOUS!

    Love you two....great travel-vlog.  Do you need a camera-person, luggage toter, personal nurse (for those random cuts or bruises) or Thunderbolt caretaker?  I have a resume!!

    Speaking of Thunderbolt, how is Baby Bridget taking it?  Is she insanely jealous?

    Can't wait to see where your next trip will take you.

    SinSanity's picture

    Karman!

    OMG WOW!

    you are fantastic and adorable.  i have such a crush on you!

    i wish i was older than 17 so i could date you!

    I Caught fire's picture

    Wow that was fun to watch as

    Wow that was fun to watch as always. You two have fun no matter what you do. -sigh- Like every other female on this site, I totally have a crush on Karman. <3
