A local woman’s cheeky pun that draws parallels between horse-racing and her current relationship has made her Melbourne Cup Day all worth it.
After a whole day in 30 degree weather, Lisa (30) has managed to keep herself together, unlike a lot of other young people binge-drinking in Flemington yesterday.
With the heels of Lisa’s feet not far off becoming open wounds, and cheap champagne bubbles bursting at the top of her brain and no sign of food in sight, time was running out to get the couple shot.
With the minutes ticking down before both went home to pass out, Lisa and her partner have decided to make the most of their matching outfits.
With her boyfriend, Mark, still looking respectable – Lisa dragged her most drunk and most single friend Shelley to a clearing of grass in the drug and alcohol-fuelled cesspool that is general admission.
“Get a photo of us!” she shrieks.
As Shelley fumbles with her iPhone, Mark and Lisa stare drunkenly into each other’s eyes, as though they are not as drunk as they feel.
Within five minutes on the sixteen photos that Shelley took of the couple she posted to social media under the caption “picked a winner”.
