Dishing with Mark And Carrie – May 31st 2012

We had the honor of going to the open house of the newly remodeled Ritz Ybor. The crowd was very mixed, gay, straight, hip & not so hip. One group was standing out in tailored suits and silk ties. They were obviously slumming it. Tea Cup & Mathieu were there looking fabulous & gay. A nice short lady server was trying to make her way thru the very busy crowd with a big overly filled bowl of what looked like crab dip. She accidentally bumped into one of the guys in a suit. She looked at Tea Cup & Mathieu with a look like she was going to start crying. Mathieu said to her, “Don’t worry” Then grabbed some napkins and tapped the men on the shoulder & said “Excuse me.”

Mathieu said to her, “Don’t worry” Then grabbed some napkins and tapped the men on the shoulder & said “Excuse me.” There was no response so again Mathieu said “Excuse me” then “Excuse me” again. The man finally turned and with a stern look on his face said “Look!!! I do not know who you are and you obviously have no Idea who I am!!!” Mathieu canted, “I know exactly who you are. You’re a guy with sh*t running down his coat. Have a nice day.” Tea Cup & Mathieu are still laughing, especially when they see crab dip…… LOL!
