veeeevuuuuh...las vegas.

so, ted and i went to las vegas.
it was both our first time there...how cute. we were las vegas virgins.
anyway, we are mormon...so naturally, we didn't booze ourselves to oblivion.
we didn't hit up da clubbbbs...because we didn't want to be surrounded by the boozers.
and finally, we didn't do any gambling.
well, we weren't left with much for entertainment...so we went to the wax museum connected to our hotel. oh...hai. did i mention we stayed at the venetian and our room was bigger than our apartment? it was good times.




observe...






oh haaaai. it's just my BFF cameron. we were just talking about how she no longer is the highest paid actress and how pretty much no one gives a crap about her anymore. no really, it was funny. you just had to be there.





i like how awkward the tedward and i look in this photo. it's like we are posing with our best friend's uncle who really isn't their uncle..but just a family friend that earned the name of uncle. so, what i'm saying is...we look really awkward.




speaking of awkward...hi prince. can i find out what eye liner you use? it's fierce.




speaking of fierce...the governator pretty much is the shiz....and really not as tall as i thought.




um. should i be worried that the tedward is bumpin' and grindin' with a half nekkid beyonce?




...or should he be worried that i found my boyfriend donned in dolce and gabbana? but srsly. Daniel Craig is the BEST Bond. i will fight you if you disagree.




this still is the best picture i have ever seen. the tedward sprouted faaaangs!




i only posted this photo so we could laugh at ted. look at his hand. HAHA. i am literally laughing right now out loud. OUT LOUD people. why is he awkward? love it.




oh, it's just my boyfriend Abraham Lincoln. he is so hot. you know...with that sicknast beard. and his deadness. wanna know what he told us? he told us "to be excellent to each other". wise.






remember that time The Rock was huge and ginormous even in wax form?
yeah...those were good times.





which is your favorite wax dude?


PS...everyone PLEASE go vote for my friend Connie in a photo competition! I will love you forever if you vote. I want her to win! And I know with all your help we can do it! Vote here for Connie!

Elvis. Ted is funny. nuff said.


P.s. you look extremely adorable in these pictures!

Katie said...

Off topic, but can I have your hair? It is gorgeous. I say no fair.

Also, these are epically awkward and hilarious and awesome. Also, makes me look forward more to my impending Vegas trip with the sis in a few weeks. (Vegas...so not a place I'd ever pick to go but she's kidnapping me.)

One last thing: Do you watch the O.C.? I love that show. Not the point. The point is when I think of Vegas I think of Sandy Cohen calling it "The Vegas" over and over. Gotta love the Vegas.

Jayci said...

"be excellent to each other" ... AHHH You are a girl after my own heart, Lauren. ha ha!!

Miss Marie said...

BOND! 'Nuff said!

Sasha Liz said...

I can't stop laughing at your comment below the Elvis one. Haha!

You look so glam in the Cameron Diaz one!

KatOfDiamonds said...

...um... that awkward thing was supposed to be Beyonce...? maybe it was the angle.

but I gotta go with my girl SMG as Buffy! <3 The show that got me hocked on Joss and Vampires!

Nancy Face said...

I think Daniel Craig is ugly. Wanna fight? >:D

Alexandria said...

Daniel Craig! That is the best one!

You and The Tedward are hilar!

And...I voted for Connie! GOOOO....Connie!

{megs in wonderland} said...

um i am laughing out loud at the hand in the elvis photo too, and i dont even know you guys! LOVE IT hahahhahahahhaa

Miss Priss Morgan said...

I love the wax museum! Looks like they've upgraded things a bit since I was last there. Next time you're in town hit me up, we'll go have some non-boozing, non-gambling, non-stripping mormon fun!

Elizabeth said...

Those are so funny! We totally had free tickets to go to that wax museum when we were in Vegas but we ran out of time and never went. Darn! Abe Lincoln and his deadness made me laugh out loud!

Stacy Dean said...

i like the beyonce one. not because it looks like beyonce (when did she ever have blunt blonde bangs?!) but because she is bustin it crazy sideways and it looks weird. did they have an orlando bloom? I would have snuck him out if so.

Melissa said...

Oh I love the rock. Like a lot. But his eyebrows look weird in wax. At least I'm hoping they dont look so overly groomed in real life... I mean I support groomed eye brows.. but this looks a little too metro. just saying.

erin said...

um i thought beyonce is black.
i must be mistaken cuz she is quite fake tan in wax form! haha
but im totally loving all these pics. i remember the wax museum was one of my favorite things when i went to las vegas...but i was like 14...and i was lame.
i wont lie. i still want to go.

Meghan O said...

Those are great! Who needs boozin and gambling to have fun in Vegas. It looks like you and Tedward had plenty of your own fun!!

PS these pics are all too great and I can't choose my fav, but Ted's eyebrow in the Rock picture are pretty dang great.

Paulina said...

hahhahahahahahaha this is too funny!!! reason number 402 why i love love love your blog! Your sense of humor is uh-mazing!!!!!

Yvonne said...

I didn't think I'd like Daniel Craig as Bond but I think he's great--not sure if he's the best. (but I really don't want to fight about it ; )

I think the one of The Rock is great.

alyssabender1 said...

I love the Cameron pic, but I must say Tedward and his vamp fangs wins.

Caitlin said...

Definitely Daniel Craig. He looks so real! And so good in a tux.

Shannon said...

Dude, Daniel Craig IS the best Bond ever!

And that totally did not look like Beyonce. Sad, because she is really pretty!

Love you because you are hilarious! :)

Lula! said...

that picture of you and Prince...

...yeah, it's not my screensaver. Amen.

Jenny said...

These pictures are great! I love them all! But why does Beyonce look like a white girl?

Michelle said...

those are awesome pictures, glad you had fine. you really look like your chatting with Cameron Diaz. Ted really looks like he has fangs, and wow he can do the eyebrow raise!

Jenny said...

Oh and I voted for Connie

tracyvanhorne said...

Be excellent to each other...

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh I laughed till I cried... true story....

Looks like a fun trip to Vegas :)

Sara said...

I don't like wax figures. They freak me out. That being said, I like the Elvis picture.

And Beyonce has, like, 80% more booty than that. Did they run out of wax? Girl has got it going on in the behind zone.

Heather said...

What precious memories. I love you, you know that, but I can't believe you went to Vegas and didn't at least play the penny slots. I love me some penny slots. The wax museum made for waaaaaay better pictures, though. My personal fav? Ted with Buffy. NO, wait...Ted with Beyonce. Or maybe you with Prince. Yeah, his eyeliner IS fierce.

Amber W. said...

Bah ha ha ha ha! *literally laughing out loud* These are hilarious! And you're right, Ted is hilariously awkward in some of these.

Molly said...

I am a mormon girl...i wear my hair in curls ( Or would if it was long enough )..I wear them modest skirts down to my knees ( WHOO! ) I wear my daddy's shirts, I am the biggest flirt, oh how i love Lauren's Blo-o-og!!

Elvis. Nuff said.

GO CONNIE!

Ann Marie said...

What fun it is at wax museums..
I love all of the photos.. but I think Buffy and Ted will be the favorite..:)

Liam's Mom said...

I want to go to there! What a blast! All the photos were awesome! You guys are so fun!

The Rock's eyebrow is classic!

Elyse said...

I love them all, but the Rock one is my favorite. Seriously, if I could do an eyebrow of speculation like Ted, I'd be the happiest person ever. Haha, as lame as it sounds, I worked years on getting my eyebrow to even half way speculate.

Bekah said...

love this!!!!

omar said...

Totally agree with Sara. That wax thing is NOT too bootylicious for me, like Beyonce is.

Summer @ B is for Brown said...

ok. ted is a cutie. i could be his mom. i think you two are a beautiful couple.

thanks for being honest with your comment on my blog. big hug to us girls growing into pretty wicked butterflies!

The Gomes Family said...

This made me laugh out loud too! Very hilarious and fun! I love the Rock one, Ted is really great with his eyebrows!

Marci Darling said...

I'm loving the super- AWK picture of you and tedward with "uncle"...classic. Also the picture of Ted with Beyonce...she has one of the best videos of all time, just sayinnnn

KatieJ said...

mmmmm Daniel Craig... I am so sad now that I missed that wax museum when we went to Vegas this year.

Kelli-Sue said...

haha!! I can't believe you stayed at the venetian! OMG thats where My boyfriend and I want to stay when/if we ever go to vegas! Maybe one day after we get married b/c then I will be outta grad school and then we will have the money for it. He has this dream of going there. Haha. I love the pics. I cracked up at the Ted/Beyonce one. To funny!! I also liked The Rock one, yall are soo cute.

-KS

Alexa Mae said...

Connie said...

Thanks Lauren and everyone for the support and votes! ♥

Lauren, you crack me up. I love you and Cameron Diaz... baha!

Karen said...

I voted for Connie!

This post is so funny! Love all of the pics. My fav is the last one with The Rock...hello hottie! I like the Tedward's eyebrow impersonation.

Stacey said...

I love them all,but the Beyonce one is my fave. :)

Marianne said...

No wicked fun for the good in Vegas! We always hit the M&M store and stare at the Belaggio fountains! Oh, and there is FOOD!

Forget the booty bounce with Beyonce...look at her abs!!!

Nick &amp; Kristin said...

How funny that Ted looks just like The Rock in that last one. I love how realistic they all look. especially Daniel Craig

The Nye Family said...

Love all the pics, you are so funny! Vegas is still tons of fun even though we don't drink or gamble. So much to do!

Alice said...

I was creackin' up lookin' at these last night. The Cameron Diaz one is hilar!

p.s. Are you wearing your bump it?

Lauren said...

Haha. No, no bump it has ever been used. Pure Lauren volume.

Holly Larson said...

definitely ted as a vampire. all the way. haha

Curtis and Dani Welton said...

Daniel Craig is the best bond EVER.

Lauren Elizabeth Crazypants said...

haha i like ted's face in the rock picture!
but all of them are pretty hysterical!
and CUTE outfit, by the way! as always.

lynninlove said...

hahaha.. i likey the rock! and elvis! you are so funny!

seriously though, beyonce and SMG do not look good in those wax dolls...

Niki {A*Lovely*Lifestyle} said...

loved this post!! so funny.

we tried to go to the wax museum when we were in vegas but it was closed. so we only got a few pics with the peeps on the outside...like whoopi and simon and michael jordan...

i love the rock! he is so hot! but he doesn't look as real as some of the others, so he's not my fav. i thought you going in for the kill with bond was very deceiving...looked very real! and i really did lol when i saw you guys with the king, even before i read that you also found it very amusing.

Liz said...

I love how you have the Rock on one side and then well the "other" Rock on the the other side... soooo lucky! :)

tharker said...

I wouldn't be too worried about Ted gettin' all up close and personal with Beyonce, unless he dons a black leotard and heels...THEN I would be worried.

Lauren said...

Nice! Love the wax museum!
I still think you should've come visit me.. but I still love you.
BTW- totally voted for Connie, she's booty-licious! (little 3/4 naked Beyonce for ya)

Crystal said...

I love wax museums. :)

Adam and Nicole said...

That was Beyonce?? She looks white.
I like the one with you and Cameron Diaz, mostly I liked your comment about it though.
Abe Lincoln looks so real!
It is a bit creepy.

Broody7233 said...

Yay for upholding standards!.
Also a yay for Abe Lincoln.
Double yay for the governor being short. :)

Lil' Woman said...

That's Beyonce?!?
It looks like J.LO

Britney Jean said...

vegas really is such a different experience for us mormons.

but that doesn't mean that it ain't fun!

i like the harrison ford one. just because i laughed out loud when you stated the awkwardness of the picture. cuz i went back up and looked at it again. and it's so true. and i love it.

the end.

Elizabeth said...

I think the back of your hair is adorable here :)

Cherie said...

Was this Madame Tussauds?
My hubs and I went to the MT's in London a few years back and I almost got kicked out because I posed with Henry the 8th and all of his wives - come on I thought it would be funny to be another wife being they think only Mormons do that and everything - Anywhoo for this particular wax display I had to cross a "barrier" and I got in big trouble - So worth it - I'm just sayin'!!

I think all the wax figures looks so real -Kinda freaky - I though the govenator was taller tooo!

Did you LOVE the Venetian?? So fun!

Bethany said...

Hey I want to Vegas a couple weeks ago! Did you read it?! Yeah I didn't do any of that stuff you didn't do either except gamble...I like it what can I say. I wanted to go to the wax museum but that cost money and i'm poor so naturally I avoided it!

S said...

I went to Las Vegas this summer and I have that picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger too with me posing the same. It's freaky in there, because you think the room is full of people but then you remember..they're wax.

Mauri said...

Love the pictures! I've wanted to go there...maybe one day. Last time I went to Vegas was forever & a year ago...or two or three. Looks like you guys had some fun!

~kiMbeRLy~ said...

I love this post! Will and I want to go to Vegas soooo bad. Look like y'all had a blast!

Julie said...

Hey Lauren! I haven't chatted with you in ages -- I hope you have been well! You two look like you had so much fun in Vegas - you're both way too adorable! And I have to tell you that I laughed out loud not once, but TWICE at how funny Ted is -- the Elvis hand and the Rock eyebrow did it. Thank you for sharing your fun! :)

RatalieNose said...

The Rock is beastly.
But honest Abe is my Fave!

Nancy said...

The best is the Daniel Craig wax dude. But I have to say the pic of Ted grindin' with Beyonce...haha...priceless!

Hannahkin said...

i gots to say... the best by far is the Buffy photo. Tedward is a vampire?! wahaha. love it :)

Hannahkin said...

but i forgot! the Cameron photo is CLASSIC! aaah, i can't choose between the two :)
