Last night was Teh Party for Teh Birdies!
There will be silly pictures forthcoming from
anonymously4.
1. Roberta does amazing things with hair volume that don't require hairspray. I really managed to go a whole night without hairspray and I am a hairspray addict.
2. The invitation said 'Penguin Suits Optional' so a guy showed up in an ACTUAL PENGUIN SUIT.
3. Cute butch girls were rocking tuxedoes and suits.
4. Wines provided by Chadds Ford Winery. (Provided=for free. We weren't sure until we got there.) The young guy behind the Chadds Ford table explained to my tits me in detail the qualities I would find in the Chardonnay and then filled my glass really full. Kris did not get the same treatment from the grandpa guy serving her Merlot. He was more interested in his bottles than in hot women. The Sauvignon Blanc was better than the Chardonnay as it turns out.
5. The centerpieces were stuffed penguins in basket-helium ballon-and-ribbon hot-air balloons. It was about halfway through dinner when I realized "OH HAY PENGUINS DON'T FLY THAT'S WHY THEY NEED BALLOONS HEY THAT'S FUNNY!" Luckily I didn't share this with the table.
6. We saw an actual, honest-to-goodness Trophy Wife. It appears Tawny Kitaen has a niece and she lives in Sussex County and married an official in the Minner administration.
7. We talked to people who didn't ask "Where do you work" they asked "What company are you with?"
8. We met some very nice, if occasionally shallow, people. The woman who doubted her self-worth for not knowing how to pick out paint colors after marrying an interior designer sticks out.
9. You really can tell when clothes cost a lot of money just by looking, even if they aren't fancy.
10. Ladies, if you are ever going to Longwood Gardens for a fancy event, remember that there are heating grates all over the floor for the plants. These grates are not compatible with 4-inch patent leather stilettos. (Oh, yes I did. Shiny black ones. I was going for the Vintage Floozy look. Kris was going for the Sparkly Bohemian look.)
11. I didn't realize how funny it was that they served chicken for dinner at the bird rehabilitator benefit until a coworker pointed it out to me this morning.
12. We stopped by Homegrown to show off our hotness see if anyone was around on our way home. I appear to be becoming BFFs with someone who I really wanted to hate. Sadly, that appears to be impossible because she is funny and sweet.
