« Tim's etiquette column | Main | Steve & Gails Engagement Bash Part Two »

October 02, 2006

Jill & I hosted an engagement party ( I mean bash) for Steve and Gail at the Barbie Dream Loft Saturday night. It was such a wild out of control success that the blog about it is going to have to be a two part mini series. Mozel Tov!

Jill and I scoured the dream loft and rearranged the whole place to fit the 55 expected guests coming over for cocktails. That is why there are still 3 dining room chairs, a blender and coffee maker in my bedroom.....

Thursday night Stinky Kyle came over and my light boxes are FINALLY all up. I put tea light candles in all of them, which looked really cool:

Also, I put Tim's advice to really good work. I found a super cute victim, I mean friend. I poured 8 count tequila cocktails. I peppered my conversations with hyphenated words like K-Hole and cross-dressing, his advice was working for most of the night. Then I got called off to do some sort of hostess duty, like let someone check their e-mail and burn a CD and my victim, I mean friend, had disappeared, without even saying good-bye. Total failure. Sigh.

Ciao for now,

Jocelyn

You're So Welcome! Thank you so much for the Henri Bendels Gift Certificate (that's right bitches). Of course I forgot it at home today because I am still drunk from Saturday. But I will document the whole trip and that will be another blog entry. Cheers and Congrats!

Looks like a lot of fun! Your neighbors look very Connecticut by the way. My favorite picture is definitely Dave and Jocelyn, it's really cute. Can't wait for the next group of pics!

I was wondering if you knew them?? They are from Greenwich and they are 23--a little older than you, but maybe they were seniors when you were a freshman?? Anyway, they are like cake or a Godiva chocolate. Yeah perfect little confections. aha ah aha ha aha ha

where did you get the glass picture boxes? Or did you make them?

I made them. And they are light boxes, not picture boxes.
