Come One Come All to the Willow Manor Ball!

My dear friend Tess over at Willow Manor is hosting her yearly ball today. Please feel free to drop in and say hello - her guest list is amazing, to say the least... I mean, darlings - who wouldn't want to rub shoulders with William Powell!

Here's what I'll be wearing:



And here's my date!


He does look scrumptious in a tuxedo, does he not?



Does tend to get a bit silly when he's squiffy,
but don't we all?



Also tends to exaggerate his masculinity a bit,
but a man's a man, for a' that.



I always was a sucker for a man in uniform...

    Jimmy!! May I break in for a dance? I want him to recite some of his unknown poetry in my ear. (I adore the pic of him doing the hand signs! oh!)

    You look better than Ava in that gown, dear. Jimmy is still trying to get you out of it. Perhaps you need to check out the cloak room for a few moments.

    What a gown! Prettier in person than in the photo, if that's even possible. A pleasure meeting you!

    Truly, you are gorgeous and he is amazing... I think I will ask for a dance and just enjoy feasting my eyes on him the rest of the night! A few of his movie star buddies are here as well. And you like like a star yourself!

    Ah, my lovelies... a good time was had by all. Am nursing a slight headache this morning, no doubt the result of one too many of dear Tess' fabulous cocktails.

    Jimmy suggested a moonlight swim, and I told him,"I'm no Katharine Hepburn, darling. Fireside dalliance on a fur rug is more my style. You provide the rug, I'll provide the fire."

    You are brilliant Marcheline! Loved this post so much - your comment above had me chuckling - you naughty, naughty girl!

    Tess's Willow Manor Ball is such a great idea. Don't you just wish you had thought of it ...!

    Yes, but look at it this way - SHE has to do the "morning after" cleanup! 8-)
