Well...the party of the decade happened (okay at least the biggest of my decade)! It was simply fabulous! Truely, "this is your life", with all my family there, and friends from elementary school, college, The Bon Marche', Nordstrom and everything in between! I was touched...I have the most amazing people in my life!
A kiss on the hand might be quite continental, but diamonds ARE definitely a girls best friend. Okay, so I could've afforded to lose that last 10 lbs (spanx only help so much) and should have made better boob, but I felt fabulous, I worked the room, and loved every minute of it!
The space at Sole Repair/Quinn backroom was great, with my iPod 60's mix going and 'My Fair Lady' and 'How to Marry a Millionaire' on the flat screens. Loved the martini balloons! Loved the posters and toothpicks by Jo! Loved the food! and Loved Tracy's red velvet cream cheese frosting cupcakes!!! A total hit...
My family was awesome and all dressed up! Dad was hilarious as Hugh Hefner, my crazy Mom as crazy Andora, and all the siblings looked great. My sweet BF was friggen hilarious! friggen hot! totally shook his tail, worked the room and faked out many of our guests. LOL.
There was a great costume turn out...some of my favorite 60 ICON's:
- EARTHA KIT as Cat Woman (Noel - my love, my bf, my future)- TINY TIM (David - my 6th grade crush, my big gay bro, my rock star)
- SOPHIA LOREN (Breezy - my sweety sis)
- JIMI HENDRIX (Tyler - my little bro, my big Korean)
- MARILYN MONROE, the imposter (Shannon - the family's adopoted sis)
- HUGH HEFNER (John - my crazy Dad)
- MOD SQUAD (Mar - lovely step-monster)
- MARY POPPINS (Jo - my favorite thespian, my personal designer, my computer fix it)
- I DREAM OF JEANIE (Lisa - my little sis, the mom of my adorable nephews)
- ANDORA of Bewitched (Nancy - my crazy Mom, my heart)- YOKO ONO (Chelsea - my littlest sis, always my smile)
- JOHN LENNON (Adam - Chelsea's bf)
- DIANA ROSS (Kristina - silly silly Aussie!)- BARBARELLA (Daisy - fun Shelly gf)
- SHARON TATE (Mel - my 'I love serial killers' gf)
...and the list goes on...
And then there were my amazing friends like Lori who helped to set up, Noel who kept my calm and grounded the week of, Heidi Ho who put together an incredible slide show of my life...and then my New York friends who I love so much and flew in to see me: My childhood buddy and crush David, and my best thing I got out of Zac, silly Shelly Smelly Cat! Love them, it all meant so much to me!
- Signature drinks, a success:
Then at the midnight last call...we ripped down the posters, ate the cupcakes, took down the balloons and such, and the entire Churchill clan with Brian, David, Jo and Noel in tow...moved the party up the block to Purr Bar (where I almost had the bash in the first place), Purr Bar, Noel and my 'watering hole'. There were some crazy drag queens (I know 'pot calling the kettle black') and boys in tu-tus. Seeing my Dad in a Playboy smoking jacket/bathrobe standing in Purr gay bar at one in the morning...WAS PRICELESS! That in itself was a great b-day present. LOL.
- Day after brunch, totally fun (once the H.O. subsided)
-and much more...
