The Feathernest Soiree (The Virtual Party of the Year)

I have arrived at the ball , and am doing marvelous.

Delores was so kind to invite me to Gary's  http://klahanie.blogspot.com/ 5th year anniversary blog party.  I wasn't sure if I would get an invitation due to a little indiscretion that happened at the Willow Ball last year, however, all seems to be forgiven.  This time though, I decided to tone it down and just wear a little black dress with a few accessories.  So what do you think?

Black Swan Adult Costume

My date had to cancel at the last minute (do you know anything about that Delores?), but it is probably for the best, as this allows me to keep my options open. There are some mighty fine looking celebrities here and oh my, is that George Clooney over there?  It looks like he has been into the bubbly somewhat, so this may be the perfect time to introduce myself. 

Well, that didn't turn out too well, Susan Kane http://thecontemplativecat.blogspot.com/ seems to have gotten his attention.  That brazen red dress she is wearing seems to have captured his eye.  I wonder what her granddaughter Sunshine would think of her flaunting herself like that.  Wait a minute though, that is not George, that is Susan's husband.   Lucky lady.

I am looking for Laura  http://austanspace.blogspot.com/ but she hasn't seemed to arrive yet.  I hear she is being accompanied by her beau, the singer/songwriter/producer Greg Lake. She possibly wants to keep him all to herself and has found a quiet little corner where they can (ahem) converse.

I have to thank my hostess (with the mostest) for having this party.  She http://mybabyjohn.blogspot.com/ certainly has outdone herself.  The food and cocktails were divine and the entertainment was perfect.  Buddy Rich was so lifelike after being dead for 25 years. He really rocked the house.

It is time to leave now as the hiccups have started.  Oh, I do love my champagne!  I want to take a  moment though to wish Gary all the best and hope others will check out his blog. It is thought provoking and very well written.  Cheers!

Off  I go!   Because Steppenwolf was unavailable, Paul Mc Cartney will be driving me home.  I promise, Delores, that I will send him right back - wink, wink.

  1. That outfit suits your personality to a T..full of fun. So glad you made it. Um...there does seem to be a large stash of champagne missing from the bar. Do you mind if I just take a peak inside your conveyance? Oh never mind...there's plenty to spare.

    1. Weight Watchers and a lot of imagination got me into that dress. I am happy that you approve.

      I had some trouble when I first published this post. I had a few windows open and a partially completed draft was sent out. When I deal with many pictures, I always have a problem. Someday I will get the hang of this thing.

    1. One must celebrate life every now and then. Oops, I see I repeated myself at the end. C'est la vie.

  8. Dear Arleen,
    I loved this post. In fact, I found myself giggling over your black outfit and the introduction of George and Paul and Buddy. What a delight this party was.

    Peace.

  11. It wasn't Clooney, or my husband. It was Richard Chamberlain in his "Thornbirds" priest costume. So he was a perfect gentleman. He was giving me absolution as we told clean jokes to each other.

    Sooo glad you brought the cardinals back!! They brighten my heart!

    You looked amazing at the party! Did you have a spare fishnet hosiery, after all? When you took yours off and threw it onto the stage at Sir Paul, I wondered what you would do. What did you do? Do you remember the song you sang at karaoke? I couldn't hear it well, but you threw your gloves out to Sean Connery. Good aim.

    Thanks for the mention in your post!

    1. I loved the Thornbirds, both the book and the series. I taped it, but unfortunately there are no VCR players anymore.
