Brigid leaves the gridiron and heads toward the beach

Imagine the scene: 14 models living in beach houses on Texas' South Padre Island for four weeks, working one of the biggest and longest spring break parties of the year. Imagine no more -- me, and 13 of my closest friends are actually getting paid to party every day (and do promotions from 10-4 on the beach) . Since most of you cannot go on spring break anymore, I will try to bring at least a piece of it to you.

If it's been awhile since you've been in college, don't worry, I'm sure not much has changed. There are still thousands of people rolling out of bed at noon to party on the beach, clubbing every night, outrageous sunburns, wet T-shirt contests, lots of free stuff, sexy people in their swimwear and a handful of people that really should not be wearing skimpy things on the beach (oh stop, you know you've thought the exact same thing).

Have you ever rolled with an entourage of girls whose favorite quote of the trip so far is, "Hey, we're not paid to be smart"?!? It's crazy! The perks are that we never have to wait in lines or buy our own drinks. The downfalls include constantly being asked to pose for pictures and hearing every pick-up line in the book. Examples include:

"Do you clean your pants with Windex? Because I can see myself in them."

"Is your dad a thief? Well then who stole the stars and put them in your eyes?"

"Do you have a quarter? Because my mom told me to call her when I found the one."

Guys. These do not, I repeat, do not work (but I'll admit that some are funny). Anyway, another perk of seeing people for no longer than a week is that you can lie about who you are all the time! I've given at least a dozen names from Brittany to Shaniqua, and have been everything from a med student to a professional air-guitarist. I think I've met people from almost every state, too. It's crazy down here because when you go out to the beach all you see are masses of people underneath their respective school and fraternity flags with the most extreme drinking stations I've ever seen. We're talking eight-person beer bongs and keg sandcastles.

Well, just check out some of the pics and see for yourself. And check back next week for more!
