Le Mocktail
So coming back to Wino-where and finding that the Institute has been hijacked wasn't the nicest surprise to find. Thereafter, Papess and Empress created a brain trust and decided to throw a "Black and White Mocktail"
Ah, so pretty those women. If you're not up on your divas, starting clockwise from top left are my ladies Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Carmen Miranda, Audrey Hepburn, Mae West and Pam Grier. Fierce, girlfriends!
Starting Thursday, we (being Ahimsa, Papess and myself) switched to overdrive to get this pulled together by Saturday. It involved running all over this tiny town to discover that plastic cocktail glasses are impossible to find. IMPOSSIBLE! So Papess graciously went to Rochester and spent 60 of her own dollars on lovely martini and cosmo glasses. She rocks. Ahimsa just helped us with everything and kept me sane. She seems to have to do that a lot. We decorated with lots of things from my room and tons of candles. Including these cute wine glasses candles from Target. Awesome.
It was a success, judging by the smiles, girls only too glad to dress themselves up and drink mocktails rimmed with sugar and garnished with umbrellas. The only pitfall Empress did not think about mixing up the margaritas and the pina coladas DURING the party, which cut over the conversation. Should have had more of the spritzers (mango and mojito) as well. Next time!
So basically...Empress loves planning parties. It combines interior design, fashion and food. My favorite things! But then would really become Samantha and that could be scary. Sweet.
So posteth the Future Empress of the World
