Happy New Year to all at the UMD!

For many of us of course the absolute high point of 2018 was the totally awesome UMD20 meetup that MessMaster hosted in Las Vegas in May. An amazing experience and once-in-a-lifetime memories - I still show people the video I shot of the stunning light show in Omnia at Caesars Palace. And of course there had to be a little WAM - so here is a free video and photoset of Maria, dressed in denim shorts and a t-shirt, barefoot, taking a dip in Lake Mead and getting totally soaked!

Huge thanks to everyone who came out on the trip that day, that was amazing fun and thanks for allowing Friday and I to join you!

Haha!!!! I'm happy you got a pick of the healing mega bruise from the first night dance party slip splits dance moves! . Vegas was a def giant highlight of 2019!

See Maria, you should have left your Chucks on! Lol it's always nice to see you have fun and being crazy.

Yo, you almost got thrown out of that place like what, 3 times! We all went so hard that night LOL DM1 was absolutely right. It was THE highlight of the year meeting all of you. I'm glad you all finally got out to Lake Mead. I know you guys had so much fun on that adventure!

MM

Very nice pictures, indeed! Thanks a lot for them.

Was that it?!?! I just remember when we finally left thinking "oh they love me really l lol!!!

DM1, thank you (and Friday) for coming over. It was a true pleasure meeting both of you. I hope one of these days I can make it over to England.

Maria, thank you for being an awesome dance partner, housemate and friend. Here's hoping for
some random shenanigans in 2019. :devil:

Messmaster, thank you for setting everything up. Ranks #1 on my vacations by far and the highlight of 2018. (By the way I still have a Thank you gift for you) :notworthy:

Blue t-shirts are very sexy when they're wet. I like how to shine and excite me! I also have a blue t-shirt and I like to wet it.

Maria was sooo much jokes that night and Vegas was unbeliveable!!

Oh my God, that pregame night... We almost got thrown out I was amazed a Maria's ability to pirouette at those levels of alcohol. I also learned that Judyanne loves to get people drunk. Also also, that I cannot and should NEVER have 7 Jamison neats (probably more because I'm sure some were doubles) on the meds that I'm on.

Also, also also, that it's extremely dangerous when Maria decides to take her panties off and stick them on the cab driver's face like a hat. That dude was a pro driver!

That was a probably the best trip of my life. My housemates were wonderful, they treated me better than most of my family. I'd be there in a heartbeat if they ever needed me. I didn't meet a single person there that made me feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. Hell, one even bought me and some friends a very nice dinner. (You know who you are R)

LOL! It certainly was - definitely want to go back some time, now that I know the place, next time I'll look to perhaps stay somewhere cheaper and rent a car too.


Next time, in 2023, I'll bring an outfit and boots for Maria!


It was brilliant! I need to check what the rules are on shooting commercially with US models, would love to do some wetlook shoots there, that warm wind means as soon as we came out of the water we started to dry off - trust me, shooting outdoor wetlook in the Yorkshire Dales is *never* like that, even in heatwaves!


The security lass kept coming over and saying "we don't have a license for that kind of show", and we all had to keep promising to try and keep you tamed. The band were rather good too!


No problem - a gift to the community from Maria and I, and credit to the guy who hired the car we all drove out there in, and bought us all drinks too, I owe that gentleman a decent meal.

It was also wonderful to get the chance to go in the water, felt amazing!


It was a pleasure to be there and if you ever do make it over to this side of the pond you're more than welcome here.


Agree completely!


Wasn't it amazing! I still can't quite believe I've actually been to Caesar's Palace, and watched the Bellagio fountains up close. Every time I see a view of Vegas in a movie now it's like "wow, I've been there!" And I've only explored about half of the Strip, never even got into most of the properties south of Harah's.


Wow! That sounds like one wild ride home - and here Friday and I thought we had a fun time riding the Deuce.

That meal up in the tower above Binion's was something else too, and those fascinating historic dollar bills. And I need to go back and get photographed with a million dollars too.

I have over 1600 photos from the trip, including walking most of the Strip at night, lots of views of different parts of the city, the helicopter trip we took to the Grand Canyon, the trip to Lake Mead, Freemont Street, the club at Caesar's Palace, and a whole lot else. I've even got a full video of the Club Omnia lightshow, which thank's to MM we had a perfect view of and really was something else to watch. I know a few folk who were there don't want to be identifiable so none of the people shots unless I know everyone in them is OK with it, but at some point I need to build a Vegas Gallery here. Wonderful town and all of you who were there were the best company anyone could ask for.
