I’m always up for a creative challenge and I thought I would take this particular one public.

On a recent date, I enjoyed a night filled with chatting, laughing, people watching and, yes, if you read my blog last night, a couple of fireworks thrown in for good measure.

You see Thursday nights at Ivy welcomes the uni crowd and we had a ringside seat to all the action!

There were the jocks, the blonde bombshells in skimpy dresses, the homey g wannabes, the hipsters and there was the one token “geek-type” who let himself into his dad’s wardrobe, slapped on some chinos and boat shoes and tried out the preppie look. Bless…

The after-work crowd made way for the frat crowd and we were essentially the oldest people there…or at least it felt like it!

Did it dampen our spirits? Not at all, it made the night even more interesting as we people watched and created imaginary lives for those surrounding us…in between having drinks spilled on us of course.

What was interesting was watching the mating call of these young, nubile beings who were out for a good time trying to impress the opposite sex. It was akin to watching a David Attenborough documentary.

“The lioness roars at the lion who approaches her with some abandon, yet with a look in his eyes that says he wants to eat her for breakfast.” OK slightly gross analogy but you get the gist!

With all the makings of a Hollywood teen rom com, my date has challenged me to write a script based on the chino wearing male as the lead.The funny thing is that he has already accepted the challenge himself and presented it to me last night.

It was impressive to say the least and contained all of the makings of a hit teen chick flick…but while his might go straight to DVD I’m aiming for a box office smash with mine…and so the challenge begins.

I wonder if Vince Vaughn is available? As the cool teacher who helps transform chino wearing boy to a man whom all the girls love…
