In the year 2050, men will wear hot pink pants and tops covered in sequins and jewels.

So Adrienne, Jeff, and I had a lovely dinner at this restaurant called Café les 2 Moulins. It was lovely in our eyes but I’m pretty sure our waiter probably hated us. We were rushing to make our show so I asked for the bill right when we got our food and we scarfed our food down so fast. This is so against everything the French believe in as far as eating and dining out goes. But anyways we had a show to make and we are crazy Americans so we eat fast!

In the summer, I had looked into going to Moulin Rouge but opted to pass because of the price. I decided this time I had to breakdown and do it. I do think it is overpriced though. But it is always selling out so why would they lower the price? I am glad I went though. I was entertained; sometimes because it was ooberly silly but entertained none the less.

The costumes were crazy! Some were really cool and others were quite 80’s looking. But maybe that was to match the classy synthesized tunes they tended to use. Some of the outfits were topless so we got to see quite a bit of boobs! Hahaha There was this other number that the girls had these huge red things that looked like taco shell on there back. At one point they bent over, pulled these strings and the taco shells swung open so they were a flat circle. I don’t know why but I thought it was hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing! In another number on the sides of the stage the year 2050 was written. The lead guy appeared on stage wearing fluorescent pink pants and a nude top covered in mirrors and jewels. I turned to Adrienne and was like in the year 2050 that’s what guys are going to wear. Hahahaa

My favorite number was the juggler. He juggled with his mouth which blew me away because he would have 3 balls in his mouth and shoot one up into the air with the others in his mouth? Craziness! And he could shoot them so high. He had drums too so he would shoot the balls out of his mouth and hit the drums. He was so comical as well!

On top of lots of dancing, they also had some acrobats (who were awesome,) a ventriloquist (I could totally see his lips moving!), and a girl who swam in a pool with snake (it was so lame and such a waste of this sweet pool they installed that I’m sure cost a butt load!)

I liked the second half a lot more. They did a stereotypical Can-Can number that was my favorite dancing number. They had red, white and blue traditional Can-Can dresses on. I also really liked this number they did to a medley of hits having to do with Paris. “Under the Paris Skies” was in the medley which I got pumped about because I used to skate to that song!

After the show, we stopped at a crepe stand which was a must. I got my normal gafre sucre and Adrienne gave it a whirl as well. Jeff had not yet experience the crepe so he opted to do that. We were all in heaven naturally.
