SIPPED

Back in April, my mom, sister and I each purchased a Sips N Strokes groupon. It has pretty specific terms: must be used Thursday through Sunday, at the 280 location, by October 26. We have been on their web site constantly, trying to pick a weekend with a nice painting that coincides with when I am home (or could come home) to participate in this fun activity together!

Today I got an e-mail from the company announcing that the September paintings were finally online! Hooray! Since I'll be home at least three weekends in September, I was hopeful there would be a bevy of awesome paintings for us to choose from. I immediately went online to check them out.

Apparently September 23rd is teen night, or juvenile delinquent night, or both. I wouldn't care if this young lady was wearing Cam's jersey, in Jordan-Hare, with the eagle perched on her shoulder. THIS. IS. NOT. APPROPRIATE.

This painting, appropriately titled Bamalicious, is so incredibly awful and ridiculous, that we are tempted to sign up and go JUST to see what other type of people would come paint this atrocity. I'm sure the only people that would pay money to paint this girl are the same type of people that are paid money to pose like this, so really, we're just going in circles. Also, where would you hang that? I can't imagine finding just the perfect spot in the house for that painting to go. Nursery? Not so much. Kitchen? Hardly. And furthermore, if you've ever been to a Sips N Strokes class, you've seen the... artistic interpretation... to which these paintings are subjected. I would DIE to see what her butt would look like interpreted, drunkenly, on 25 different canvases.

Really, Sips N Strokes. Really? This is the best you can come up with just one month away from your Groupon expiration? If I weren't laughing so hard, I would call to complain.
