"You're so money and you don't even know it." ~ Sue

Swingers-1996 Vince Vaughn (Trent) and Jon Favreau (Mike) are something else.  Along with their motley crew, they prowl the streets of LA going to some of the city's most iconic watering holes. I'm not sure as a woman I am supposed to like this movie let alone love it but I do!  Perhaps it the character (Mikey) a transplant to Los Angeles  to whom I can relate.  Moving from another city to LA can be serious culture shock :)

The way this film was written and shot, the characters always squished together in booths, dressed more like 1946 than 1996 really sets is apart from other films.  The guys have some really strange idea's about woman, yet somehow these guys are soooooooo cool.  I don't even think they know they are cool.  Instead of trying to match a dress this week, lets see if we can match the mood created by the movie :)

The Bongo Beer bar and Mobile Cocktail bar would be perfect for happy hour!  Leave it to the Belgians to find a way to serve ice-cold beer on tap in our own back yard!  Outdoor Living and Cooking With Style

can not only fulfill your needs for libations but even the Club Man grill (perfectly slim) can be viewed  on their website or have them send you a catalog,  Although I am of the opinion that these boys don't cook, they simply pick up the phone and call Pink Dot.
