Flirt Fest 2006: Need We Say More?

Anything billed as a “Flirt Fest” must be commented on here at Bostonist. It’s not every day that alliteration can make one giggle but the event held tonight at trendy Saint on Exeter Street sounds like an interesting event to say the least. Bostonist has noticed a definite increase in the amount of singles’ events and scorned lovers’ themed dinners and drinks this year. Despite all the articles in recent weeks about specialty dating sites, it must be trendy to be tread alone in 2006. So when we heard about the sixth annual Flirt Fest, we just had to look into it a bit more. There of course is the best and worst pickup lines contest (please see last year’s top 10 below which reminds Bostonist why finding a date can be so tricky), voting of the biggest flirts (male and female), a lingerie fashion show (um, of course!), and free cocktails from Pearl Vodka from 7:30-9p.m. Flirt Fest is touted to sell out so if you are up for some drinking and possibly ackward eye contact, you can buy tickets online now for $14 ($20 at the door); the event starts at 6p.m. While the ‘Fest is scheduled to end at 11p.m., perhaps you’ll be going home with the love of your life tonight.

Flirt Fest 2005 Top Ten Worst Pickup Lines:

1. Was your Daddy a beaver?...cuz' damn!
2. Are you ready to go home yet?
3. That dress looks great, but it would look better on my floor.
4. You know, you might be asked to leave soon. You're making the other women look really bad.
5. Do you have a license for those weapons? Your eyes are deadly?
6. Excuse me, do you have a cigarette? 'Cuz you're really smokin'!
7. Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I need to walk by again?
8. Do you have a license for those weapons? Your eyes are deadly!
9. I may not be Fred Flinstone but I can make your bed ROCK!?
10. Hey, do you like science? I would love to experiment with YOU!

(After reading over these again, staying in to watch that Dr. Phil special tonight with some chocolate ice cream doesn’t seem so bad after all.)
