Happy Valentines Day, everyone! I received a special visit from my sister today who you may know as L.A. Girlfriend. With a recently announced upcoming performance at Check Yo Ponytail, my lovely sister has been extremely busy getting her show together for her second appearance on the CYP2 stage. She still had a minute to sit down with me for an exclusive Valentine’s Day Interview where we discuss Valentine’s day tips for singles and couples alike, alcoholic desserts, and the Olympics.
O S A K A: What are you doing for Valentines Day?
L.A. Girlfriend: Realistically? I’m going to go home and play around with my DD-3 pedals. I might eat some thai food. It’s really not that interesting what i’m doing later. I think figure skating is on, I don’t know…I really need to think about what i’m going to wear for Check Yo Ponytail.
What’s the best advice you have for guys on Valentine’s Day? Let’s Start with gentlemen in a relationship.
The small things count, so you don’t have to do any grandiose gestures. Hopefully, you’ve been listening to what she’s been saying while in the relationship. Maybe she’s like, “I like cats,” so go and get her a cute cat sweater.
Alright, cat sweaters. It’s that easy.
Well, maybe not cat sweaters, I don’t know. That’s tough. I’m not in a relationship, but If I had a boyfriend I would want…like…a single flower would be cute with a bow tie and a note that says “You’re the bestest in the Westest.” That would be nice. Or a Dodge Meme. Flowers are always nice in general.
OK, how about for single people?
I think Valentine’s is the one day for you to go all out. I see it as the one day to put just all your feelings out there, but that depends on the person as well. If they clearly have stated that you just want to be friends by no means do that. MAybe be buy them a nice dinner or something.
…But if it hasn’t been stated, and she’s open to a relationship, then i’d say “You know what? You’re awesome, let’s jive.”
O S A K A: Best Valentine’s day Dessert. Go.
L.A. Girlfriend: A Whiskey Red Velvet Cake with a Cream Cheese Vanilla Bean frosting.
Now, you make a lot of alcoholic specialty desserts. Have you made this one you just said to me?
No, no.
Why didn’t you?
Because I just thought of it. This morning before work though, I woke up and told myself I was going to make “whoopie pies.” Mind you I only had and hour…
…wait what? Like “Sex pies?”
“Whoopie Pies.” No. They’re like, the tops of cupcakes but chopped off with frosting like a sandwich.
Oh ok. Like an ice cream sandwich with frosting instead of ice cream.
Yeah.
Not like a “Sex Pie,” because “Whoopie” used to mean fucking.
No, you are dating yourself now.
Anyways, you still owe me whiskey cupcakes for my birthday.
I didn’t know I was coming over today!
I do feel Whiskey Red Velvet would be would be interesting though. Red Velvet is a form of chocolate. Whiskey and Chocolate pair well together. Red velvet has a unique flavor, plus its a standard Valentines Day flavor. It’s also red…
L.A. Girlfriend: You know what I don’t like about Valentines Day? All the angry single girls. Or angry girls in general.
O S A K A: Ok. Go On.
They’re all like “I hate Valentines day. I’m single. I’m gonna eat chocolate in front of the tv and get drunk.” Don’t shame the day. It just sounds like you are shaming yourself. Like you’re not good enough for Valentine’s day, so down with Cupid.
Some people say it’s a Hallmark Holiday. Who the fuck cares? It’s a day of love. Accept it. Spread love. Say, “Hey friend. Happy Valentines day.” Hopefully they say, “You too.” If not, you say, “Fuck You.” …No, you shouldn’t say that. You give them a hug.
