a sea of happy faces at HOOTERS by the bay...
The members of QUIAPO DVD,
the yahoogroup dedicated to all things DiBiDi,
were fortunate enough to get the best table in the House of Wings,
and we arrived early enough to meet the last lady left
from the U.S. Launch Team, the dazzling DIANA!!!
No wonder Aidan looked positively delighted.
I now know how the little dude felt at Hooters!
Speaking of which, I was talking to his awesome daddy,
and we were both bewildered by the sheer number of too-cruel
and vitriolic comments addressed to the Hooters Girls whose pictures
were posted in Anton's review in Our Awesome Planet.
There have been quite a number of uncalled for insults
from some "haters", and frankly, I don't see the need,
nor the relevance of these severely anti-Filipino comments.
True, not all of the Hooters Pinays might live up to that
"mestiza" ideal of beauty; but hey, to each his, or her own.
I saw most of the ladies up close, and met a few of them,
and they are, to a woman, all wonderful and very pleasant.
Our Hooters Girl MADEL was so nice,
and we took so many pictures with her,
we now want to put up her website!
(see post immediately below)
They have honest jobs, earn decent incomes,
and have lots of fun, and spread lots of smiles while at it.
And just because they don't all look like Marian Rivera,
they get insulted in ways that would make Simon Cowell cringe?
And insulted by their fellow Pinoys at that.
Malu Fernandez, what have you wrought?!?!?!
Seriously,
all you "Shallow Hals"?
SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!
My buddy Roque Jr. gave the most intelligent and fair-minded
assessment of the Hooters Girls:
"I thought the girls were great-looking and
ethnically representative of the Filipina;
whoever was hiring took efforts not to discriminate
against height, color and other physical features."
Excellent point, sir. I agree completely.
And after that spicy appetizer,
on to the main course:
THE ALMOST WORLD FAMOUS CHICKEN WINGS!!!
Forget the "Mild", ignore the "Medium";
go ahead and order the 20-piece "HOT" Wing platter.
I promise, you won't regret it:
just the right amount of heat,
extremely tasty & crispy skin,
and moist, tender meat.
Addicting, and perfect with my beloved Pale Pilsen.
And I love the fact that all tables
come equipped with these hefty napkins
for you to use after you lick your fingers!
Don't ignore the burgers either;
the burjer experts in our group were very pleasantly surprised
by the humongous all-beef patties;
juicy, and with just the right bite.
All San Miguel Beers at only P45.00,
bottomless iced tea and sodas for only P85.00,
The Best Chicken Wings in Manila, bar none,
and awesome Hooters Burgers...
a naughty but nice atmosphere
punctuated by hourly Y.M.C.A. dance dance revolutions,
a dozen plasma TVs showing the NBA play-offs,
a classic Rock and Roll soundtrack
(including "Those Magic Changes and other songs from GREASE!),
HOOTERS
really is our Happiest Place on Earth!!!
