Slog - Comments on Cupcakes and Cowgirls, Oh My! http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/cupcakes_and_cowgirl Last January, we threw a surreal and hilarious birthday party for a vivacious young lady, Alithea, who was the lucky recipient of Strangercrombie's Cupcakes and Cowgirls party package. She's going to tell you about it below. Then you should bid!—you only have until Friday at 5 pm to vie for this and dozens of other wildly fabulous gifts. The Strangercrombie Cowgirls and Cupcakes auction is, as far as I can tell, the unity of the four most holy elements on earth: Booze, Cupcakes, The Stranger, and Scantily Clad Women Serving Booze.

I'm putting in my bid of one hundred billion million dollars.

I was so happy I might get to win something this year, hoping to snap it up around $100 at the closing bell, but you've ruined my plan. I know it's going to a good cause, but now I'm not getting anything for X-mas.

You can auction that off.

I hear you. I've given up my rainy hometown in the Pacific Northwest for rainy Santa Cruz.

When she reads this she's gonna kill me.
