I'm intrigued. What's special about the Hampton Beds? (Planning my next little stay-cation...)

Dreamsacks appear to be made of silk and even come in an "open" version for Jul!a.

Lol, ever heard of the duo call Kris Kross? They were two young rappers that wore all their clothing backwards.

The Waterfront Tower in Harrah's in Atlantic City. The view of the pool from over its glass roof is very cool and the rooms are just so gorgeous...they don't feel like hotel rooms, they feel like the bedrooms in interior design magazines. Not overly plush, but not all straight lines and one color walls either. Definitely romantic, at least in my book. Plus, when i go there I go to certain restaurants and visit certain places that are all very luxurious and decadent so I'm already in that 'spoil me' and go a little crazy mood.

I think it was the straightforward bluntness with that little edge of snark that made the character so real. Sexy? Yes... could you imagine her as a dom?

They're just insanely plush, it feels like you're sleeping on a 10" pillowtop, it feels like you're sinking in but when yu look around you it's actually pretty firm and the sheets and the undersides of the duvets aren't scratchy, they actually feel like the higher thread count sheets I have at home and they give lots and lots of pillows They just feel GOOD.

My favorite hotel to date is the Marina Del Rey Marriott. The room was huge, the bathroom was huge, the view was beautiful, the service was excellent and the food delicious...and best of all, they let us camp out in the hotel pool, after we snuck in after hours and ignored the large number of contraband wine bottles we had.

Yup, I consider it my local (it's about 3 hours away) grown-up playground. If you ever go, feel free to message me and I'll point you toward some good restaurants, shopping, and must-see touristy stuff. And more importantly in AC, what to avoid! The great thing about Harrah's is it's one of 4 hotels in Atlantic City owned by the Harrah's corp (the other 3 are showboat, Bally's and Caesars) and I stay at harrah's properties because that's whose card I have. But the other 3 are on the boardwalk - which I enjoy taking a taxi to during the day to shop, gamble a little, etc. - but Harrah's is on the other side of the city and you can't walk to other hotels and casinos and I guess that takes away from appeal for some? This means even though it's overall newer and has been renovated much more recently than the others, it's also cheaper!!! Last I checked, there's also a swingers club in AC but I haven't been there.

I know I forgot how funny it was. Did you see the ending them walking away? When they first came out the most pop question they were asked was What about when you have to go pee? I forgot what the answer was but I do remember lots of people dressing up as them for Halloween. Awe memories of my youth.

I don't mind feeling a little isolated if my goal is to spend a lot of time in the hotel room.
