“Dining in the Dark” at Opaque gained popularity in Southern California, and opened its first Northern California location last week in San Francisco.
In a dining room that’s pitch black - we’re talking can’t-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face pitch black - the idea is to engage the other senses throughout the meal. Servers dole out plates by touch. Eavesdropping has never been easier, and if the weather is hot, nobody will notice if you shed some clothes.
If you can get beyond the anxiety-inducing total darkness - we both tweaked upon entry - it’s a novelty that some might find interesting.
Dinner for two with a bottle of sparkling water, two glasses of wine and tip came to $289. At that point, the price almost didn’t matter. We were just thankful that we could see.
Opaque - Dining in the Dark, 689 McAllister St. San Francisco; (800) 710-1270.
Clutsy people will make a mess at the table, uncoordinated folks could easily cut someone with a knife while talking with their hands, and I could think of naughty, fun things to do with your date at this dark restaurant.
But who wants to eat in the dark?! As soon as I get some grub, if the room is dark, I hit the light switch. Thinking about bugs possibly mating in my food as I’m shoving some stuff down my throat is unappealing to me. If I can’t see, I’m not eating.
I just looked up Opaque’s other spots. I can’t believe I’ve never heard of dining in the dark:
- At the W Hotel, 421 West B Street
San Diego, CA 92101
- 8401 Sunset Blvd
West Hollywood, CA 90069

Donald Trump on Anne Hathaway dumping her ex-boyfriend and con artist, Ravioli:
“She hasn’t remained very loyal to him, has she? So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but then after that, not as good, right?”
I hate to say I kind of agree with Trump, even though in his case it’s the a-hole calling the butt hole b-hole. Yeah. You’re not supposed to get that “joke” either, cause I don’t get it and I typed it!
Who knows what was going on with Anne’s relationship, but Ravioli spent money on her ass, trying to impress her. I hope she’s had some contact with him at least once after his arrest. It would be just so harsh to never talk to him again when he’s currently locked up with a $21 million bail. He wasted so much time and energy being a fraud when his ho was rich! He should have just gone the Daddy Dude route and spent Anne’s money.

As you know, Christie Brinkley’s husband, Peter Cook, cheated on her with some 18-year-old skank. But it didn’t end there. He also had an alleged affair with a 31-year-old fitness trainer!
Cook moved on from his teenage mistress to Carri Lyn Ciamarra — only to break up with her when she left her hubby. Brinkley and Cook continue their divorce battle in court. They have one daughter, Sailor, 10.
Ok, I HAD to blog this, and not because Peter had affairs. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens; I had to blog this because men like Peter make me indescribably upset.
Peter starts banging a 31-year-old, right? She leaves her husband for him, then he dumps her. There is a special place in hell for men and women who ruin marriages and lives then leave you out alone on your ass, full of hurt and disappointment.
If you’re gonna break up a marriage, if you’re scandalous like that, shouldn’t you proceed with your home wrecking relationship only if you’ll try your best to turn your affair into a long-term or permanent union? Or is it more important for you to get off for the moment then move on to the next? Heartless.

I’ve boycotted Eddie’s movies long, long ago. It’s about time, has been. Eddie says he’s over it.
“I have close to fifty movies and it’s like, why am I in the movies? I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do standup.”
Murphy, 47, said that while a “Beverly Hills Cop 4″ flick was in the works, he didn’t want to do it, because “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.”
Eddie is funny, but, with the exception of Dreamgirls and Shrek, he hasn’t done anything good in forever. Good riddance, bitch.

That’s not my headline, but it’s perfect. I couldn’t not post this adorable picture cause that would make me a cold-hearted bitch, and I prefer to only be a cold-hearted heffa on the weekends.
How cute is this picture?! Don’t you wanna just move in next to Gwen’s family so you could go over just to hang out sometimes and observe all their love and cutenes?. Can’t wait for her to pop out second one. 
Expectant mom Gwen Stefani stops to rest – and gets a hand from an adorable helper, 2-year-old son Kingston – while out Monday in a park in London, where the singer has been enjoying plenty of family time.
