Belloq - Storyville Red

We are doing the robot at my sister's wedding.

My nephews are incredible young people. For about 7 years, they were the only nephews in the family and we got to marvel at their youth, enthusiasm and quirkiness. I could dedicate an entire portion of this blog with my experiences with their bathroom trips!  My nephew Will and I share a lot of things in Razorback fans, Davidson graduates, and Rockbrook girls - all of which share the color red. Will, however, has always been known to go over the moon about the crimson features of any article near his person.

The counter appears to be plastic that is coated in the paint with matching walls, doors, ceilings, and fancy chandeliers. I felt a bit entrapped and wondered why Lou would decide to paint his nails this color! I thought that maybe I could find some escape when I snuck into the stall only to find that the entire bathroom was hosed down with electric red! I think that even Will would agree that it is a bit too much. But if you are missing the color red and want to be enveloped in it, Bellocq is your establishment!
