Why my neighbors won’t talk to us

November 2, 2007

in Random crap

Hey did you see when I dressed up for Halloween as Britney Spears, and Victor took some crotch shots of me getting out of the car?  You know who else saw it and didn’t think it was that funny?

 My neighbors. 

Here’s a whole photo series of the event:

1.  Me telling Victor how important it is that we don’t make a bad impression on our super posh neighbors:

are-you-sure.jpg

2.  Me (after a series of shots with Victor yelling me to “show more crotch”) noticing that the quiet Asian guy two houses down from us is standing on his lawn, totally stunned:

oh-hi.jpg

3.  I wave casually and start to move inside but Victor looks at the shots and says we don’t have a good one yet.  I realize that “Eh, whatever.  Quiet Asian Guy was gonna figure out we’re weird eventually anyway” and we continue:

whatever.jpg

4.  Quiet Asian Guy’s entire family comes outside and he attempts to distract them from my crotch by pointing the other direction.  At this exact moment Victors car alarm goes off.

oh-god.jpg

5.  I hide in the house the rest of the day until I suddenly realize that since I was wearing a blonde wig those neighbors won’t even know it’s me.  For all they know it was just some psycho blonde chick. 

Yep.  Just some random, crazy, half-naked stranger.  Getting her hooter photographed by my husband in our front yard.

Youse guys in Houston have a different word for everything, hooter is higher up, but alas… [note: I've got nothing for the alas portion of this thought]

The car alarm reminds me of when I borrowed a buddies car in college in Atlanta during Freaknik, we got gridlocked in the traffic and suddenly our carful of white boys started honking repeatedly. It was awesome and not.

That’s awesome. I would totally be coming over and yelling along with Victor (and laughing my ass off).

3 lildb November 2, 2007 at 9:33 pm

my favorite is the “Oh hi.” shot.

I can *feel* that inside my head where the blank terror-by-paranoia lives.

also, you’re so danged cute. crazy-husband-who-photos-half-nekkid-blonde-ladies or no.

4 Jess November 2, 2007 at 9:37 pm

Those pictures are awesome, and your costume is great. The neighbors will just have to deal. If they were cool, the photo shoot would have made them realize exactly how great you guys are.

5 thordora November 2, 2007 at 9:48 pm

BWAHAHAHAHAA!

Oh I needed that laugh!

6 Jeff November 2, 2007 at 10:06 pm

Oh, if I had a dime for every time I yelled “show more crotch!”

7 On a Limb with Claudia November 2, 2007 at 10:38 pm

This is hilarious. I’ve had the same trouble with my neighbors – they are really close to us. So when I take my dog out at night – yeah, it’s not pretty

Thanks for stopping by!

(I also love the PerezHilton writing on the photos!)

8 Nicole P. November 2, 2007 at 10:41 pm

Their loss! Although I am a bit surprised that you and Victor don’t have to get some sort of permission before moving into any new neighborhood. Or a disclaimer on your door warning the unsuspecting ‘hood of who is living next to them.

Love. That. Costume. You could have had Hailey be one of Brit Brit’s kids. Just get her dirty, give her a baby bottle filled with booze, and then make her cry whenever she sees you in costume.

9 Erin November 2, 2007 at 10:53 pm

Haa!! That’s hilarious, love it!

10 Houston November 2, 2007 at 10:54 pm

Jenny,

You and Victor are my heroes. Any man who can yell “Show me more crotch!” in his front yard with a camera and his wife GOES ALONG WITH IT!

I want to live in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!

11 Houston November 2, 2007 at 10:55 pm

BTW. That does throw a whole different perspective on the “Hooters” restaurant chain.

Not much, but a very distinct difference.

12 Kyla November 2, 2007 at 11:27 pm

I love you. No one else I know would have the balls to do this. Of course, I don’t mean literal balls…that would be a whole different picture series, I think. LOL.

13 Juliness November 2, 2007 at 11:36 pm

Awesome. If I didn’t already think I wanted to be your neighbor, this would have clinched it.

14 Momish November 2, 2007 at 11:49 pm

If I saw my neighbors taking crotch snapshots, I would bring coffee out to them, in hopes of making some new friends!

15 Andy November 2, 2007 at 11:53 pm

Hilarious – both the pictures and commentary!

16 Oh, The Joys November 2, 2007 at 11:59 pm

They think Victor is cheating on you with that crotchy chick!

17 melissa November 3, 2007 at 12:07 am

“Show more crotch!” should totally be printed on t-shirts. Imagine the money we could make.

18 Simply Jenn November 3, 2007 at 12:15 am

That is so dang funny! We got a letter after we moved into our nicer neighborhood that we had ruined the neighborhood after we moved in. Good times. I hope you don’t ruin your neighborhood!

19 Catizhere November 3, 2007 at 12:24 am

Posh-Schmosh…..

Every suburbia needs a shake-up now and again.
For thanksgiving, you could deep-fry a turkey in your driveway. That’s what my sister did & her “neighborhood committee” sent her a letter very politely asking her NOT to do it again.

We saw a Britney trick-or-treating too, she didn’t show any hooter. Joe was mildly disappointed.

20 Lotta November 3, 2007 at 1:17 am

I love the Jenny behind the scenes! You need to work this with the neighbors. Wear sunglasses one day and insist that you keep them on inside. Make up elaborate excuses for Victor when he goes out of town. Mess with their heads!

21 jenn November 3, 2007 at 1:37 am

oh, poor neighbour … heheh…

I don’t feel so bad for my neighbours any more, though, for putting up with my slightly off key singing and the Magpie wailing on the bongo drums…

22 anne nahm November 3, 2007 at 2:10 am

A) I have the biggest crush on you right now. 2) (and completely unrelated to the first point) Is that a bear in the third picture? And Third, if it is, I’l go halvsies with you on the price of a bikini wax just for the benefit of all humanity. A little rule I learned from your mutha – if your beaver turns into a bear, it is time to get a charity wax.

23 ali November 3, 2007 at 2:14 am

At least you look much better than Britney.

And who is your neighbor to judge? You are an Internets Celebrity – of course there are going to be paparazzi around your house. That’s what he gets for living down the street from you.

He shouldn’t be looking anyway. Perve.

24 mamatulip November 3, 2007 at 2:41 am

This is just one of the many reasons why I wish I was your neighbour.

25 Bunny November 3, 2007 at 2:46 am

I swear to you, Jenny, you have made my day. I actually laughed out loud, close to an actual on the floor ROFL when I saw that picture with the bear (cat? beaver?) covering your hoo-ha. The thought of you can Victor sitting in your driveway taking pictures of your crotch just did me in. Thank you and goodnight.

26 Julie Pippert November 3, 2007 at 2:52 am

ROFLOL oh Jenny oh Jenny LOL. I know part of you is horrified on some level, but please say it is a small part that is going away soon. Oh that Asian guy probably thought pornographers moved in and won’t he be pleased when you take him a bowl of candy and show yourself to be the great person you are (also, killing two birds with one stone). He won’t even care that pornographers moved in. LOL ;)

And we can always hope you get kicked out of your ‘hood and are forced to move to mine.

Crazy is not even commented upon here. :)

27 The Pear Lady November 3, 2007 at 3:03 am

Well, gotta admit you give that neighborhood character, or are the neighborhood character. Either way, it’s all good, no doubt. *LOL*

28 Brandy November 3, 2007 at 3:19 am

all’s i’m sayin is, when i come to houston, you’d better have britches on…lmao

29 Erica November 3, 2007 at 5:54 am

Jenny, this is why I love you.

Bhahaha.

I can only imagine what they think.

30 Ed T. November 3, 2007 at 6:00 am

I wonder if that critter in Photo #3 is related to the invisible bears that were squeezing Hailey.

BTW, Jenny: hot pants!

~EdT.

31 Robin (the pensieve one) November 3, 2007 at 6:46 am

You are my favorite guilty pleasure!! Rrrrowr!

32 flutter November 3, 2007 at 7:34 am

The bear with the “no” on him seriously had me in tears. oh my god…

33 min November 3, 2007 at 10:39 am

Did you paste my pussy onto your crotch? Looked like Tony Chachere for a minute.

34 Jenny the bloggess November 3, 2007 at 8:09 pm

Okay, first of all, yes that is a bear on my crotch. I got tired of the censored box and picnik had no appropriate beavers available.

Secondly, I never turn down a charity wax.

Third – They aren’t shorts or pants, it’s a catholic school girl miniskirt (ala Hit me baby, one more time) although I suspect on a girl with less junk in the trunk it wouldn’t be quite so “mini”.

Fourth, I love you guys. Y’all are the best enablers ever.

35 motherbumper November 3, 2007 at 9:00 pm

you are killing me… seriously, I’ve laughed so hard that it hurts.

36 Ed T. November 3, 2007 at 9:10 pm

“Catholic school girl miniskirt” sounds slightly oxymoronic.

It also makes one wonder how come all those priests were messing with little BOYS?!?

~EdT.

37 melissa November 3, 2007 at 10:49 pm

Thank god you didn’t go as a penguin. Do they even have crotches?

38 BOSSY November 3, 2007 at 11:53 pm

Totally hysterical. Hey – Bossy’s just been made a finalist for Weblog’s Best Humor blog – come over and flash your crotch. Er, she meant ‘vote’.

39 Susan C November 4, 2007 at 1:42 am

I stumbled on your Houston Chronicle Blog and subsequently your personal Blog. Just had to write to say “I love your stuff”.
Your writing is top-notch and you yourself are hilarious and “full of fun and hi-jinks” (Britney) in an otherwise humdrum routine mommy-world.
I find it hard to believe your neighbors won’t talk to you. What a lovely break in their day!

We live in Austin. You should move here. They would love you here…

40 Sarcastic Mom November 4, 2007 at 3:57 am

I need to go change my undies.

Laughed too hard.

41 Kristin November 5, 2007 at 4:08 am

MOVE here… I need a neighbor who let’s it all hang out! ;-)

42 LawyerMama November 5, 2007 at 10:32 am

Thank God for the wig. Now they just think Victor is a freak who cheats on his wife. No biggy.

Man, why don’t *I* have neighbors like you?????

43 alyndabear November 5, 2007 at 4:10 pm

*snorts* I still think these are the best Halloween pictures EVER.

44 wolfbaby November 5, 2007 at 11:22 pm

did you ever realize just exactly how many pervs read your blog? now i know.

that was so funny i bout pissed myself..

hmm i have never before heard it called a hooter but i have heard it called a bush…

45 Amber November 6, 2007 at 6:56 am

Slut.

Britney. Not you. :-)

46 Karmyn R November 6, 2007 at 10:27 am

But of course, Victor enjoyed every moment of it.

47 Carrie November 6, 2007 at 3:42 pm

Screw the neighbors, I didn’t realize how great your legs were last week! Hello!

48 Shades November 6, 2007 at 11:48 pm

I still think it was a great concept.

49 Kelly November 7, 2007 at 7:25 am

Most topical costume ever: Britney gone wild. A++!!

50 Ruth Dynamite November 7, 2007 at 7:56 am

This is perfect. A masterpiece. Brava, Jenny and Victor. Well done.

51 30andflirty November 8, 2007 at 9:31 pm

I just read all 50 comments and was shocked that no one hit on you. Seriously woman! You are hot! Can I have your legs? Please? I just borrow ‘em for like awhile and give ‘em right back. I promise. :)

52 AnotherMom November 9, 2007 at 9:22 am

Young lady, that is a “hoo hoo” not a hooter. You are in Texas, my dear.

53 rimarama November 10, 2007 at 11:17 am

This was hysterical. Thanks for the laugh!

54 Spamboy November 11, 2007 at 10:21 pm

If I weren’t a heterosexual dude, I’d be so tired of seeing everyone’s va-jay-jays!

55 mothergoosemouse November 12, 2007 at 11:22 pm

See, if I were your neighbor, shenanigans like that would make me want to be your BFF.

56 simplypink December 31, 2007 at 11:54 pm

Thanks for making me shoot Welch’s sparkling grape juice out of my nose this New Year’s Eve. Hilarious! :) Happy New Year!

57 Jessica May 29, 2008 at 10:15 am

Oh my. Thanks for reminding me about this gem!

Jessica’s last blog post..These guys are my heroes.

58 Trey Anderson November 11, 2008 at 8:55 am

Booty shorts, a blonde wig and a cigarette. Its as if all my red neck dreams have come true.

59 Stircrazy November 11, 2008 at 12:45 pm

I think “hooter” is trade marked by those other boobs…

Were you looking for “hoo-ha”?
