Miracle Weight Loss Raks A’Diva Cruise
By Iman
“Utter indulgence and mad cap fun ”, reported Raks A’Diva cruise mascot Isis. This article is dedicated to an accurate portrayal of the eating and drinking excesses and sleep deprivation of just one Raks A’Diva member. I have to report that even with all the abuse and stomach-stretch carbs, I did not gain any weight. The secret? Three (3) hours of non-stop dancing a night, and absolute refusal to take elevators –with the exception of a bathroom emergency.
So, with great embarrassment, here is my personal log of my excesses on the cruise. (Disclaimer: my excess experiences don’t necessarily match other Raks members – you’ll have to get the others to fess-up.
