DO BLONDES really have more fun? Ask Kirsten Amann. She's on a quest to find out as she does research for Undercover Blonde, a book she's working on. The publicist-slash-cocktail-aficionado also posts updates on her blog (undercover-blonde.blogspot.com). Between her day job at Dalyn Miller PR, her moonlighting gig as a server at Toro, and a role as the "PR broad" of LUPEC (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails), she's gotten countless pages of material. But since she can always use more, her nights out are spent searching for answers.
@ 6:15 p.m.: Lately I've been trying to do yoga, so I'll still be in class, maybe wrapping up my downward dog. That's what I do on nights when I know I'm going out - somehow I think it balances out what I'm about to do to my body for the rest of the night.
@ 7:30 p.m.: If I'm lucky, I'll be finishing a blog entry and posting. Then, one of my friends has a huge wine selection, so we might do a little tasting of cheese and wine at her place.
@ 9:45 p.m.: By now, I'm heading out to a bar, which is what we do in LUPEC. It's how we promote the endangered cocktail. I'll start by going to Green Street to drink Misty Kalkofen's cocktails. I may also stop by No. 9 Park for one of their classic cocktails.
@ midnight: My friend and I can talk forever, so we'll head over to the Franklin [Café] for one more.
@ 2 a.m.: If I haven't finished that blog entry, I'm doing it now - and hoping that it's coherent.
