I was out and about one night with a group of my friends. It consisted of, my boyfriend, and 2 of my best friends. We were "paroozing" about because one of my best friends, E*, had never been to Vegas. So after walking through the Bellagio, enjoying the garden and all of the happy things that the Bellagio offers, we started heading out of the hotel and back onto the Strip. The walk from the valet area to the sidewalk is probably a good 5 minute walk for a total of 2 reasons. One, being that it's actually quite far, given that the entire front of the hotel is a small pond that erupts with a water show every 15 minutes, and two, being that people like to stand around and wait for the next water show to start. But I digress.
Back to the story: we were walking. Everyone in this pathway is walking against each other. Suddenly, out of nowhere, while I was holding my boyfriend's hand, I felt someone grab my butt. It was not a light graze. It was not a passing accident. It was a full on...Fist. Full. Grab.
Let me give you a visual of what I was wearing before I even continue with my violation. A sundress, with a cardigan, and flip-flops. Let me repeat: A cardigan. A sundress. Flip-Flops. Was I dressed scandalous? Not even close. Was I showing a lot of skin? No. Moving on.
I turned to Mister (my boyfriend) and stated, very flatly, "I think someone just grabbed my ass." The reason I stated it so "matter of factly" because I didn't know how to handle that situation. He immediately stops and looks around, scouring for the man who blatantly grabbed his girlfriend's ass. Nothing.
I felt it. I didn't see who.
What is the point of this story, you ask? The point is, my friends, is that people feel like since Las Vegas is known as Sin City, they can do whatever they want. "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," right? Wrong. This wasn't right, and I'm sure this person (who I can only assume was male) was a normal man who had never done that to a lady before, but because he was in Las Vegas, he felt he could.
It upset me, and it upset my boyfriend.
Dear Faceless Man who grabbed my ass,
You suck.
Sincerely,
Barbie
