the ladies of the great place threw down in honor of a few special twenty-first birthdays. jonswifferdiffer, emilydiego, and yours truly all turned that magical legal age within a few days of each other. so naturally, to celebrate, we had a 1950's tupperware party. the rules are simple- dress like you're from the 1950's (think grease, hairspray, american graffiti, mad men- we cast the net pretty wide.) and drink out of tupperware (much easier and more convenient than we originally thought it would be.) everyone looked incredible (love me some 50's greaser dudes) and rocked out to the american graffiti soundtrack (shout out to papa weigel for getting me addicted to that at an early age) before switching to more classic party hits. (come on eileen was played two times. in a row.) we set up the bubble machine in the kitchen and i hung tissue paper pom poms from the ceiling and floral fabric on the walls.
my two best lady friends from home came to town looking gorgeous and helping me with everything. baby brother also rolled in and was IMMENSELY helpful. he even made waffles for us before the party. while wearing a very girly apron. high school homie thomas williams arrived on my doorstep two hours before the party and my gentleman caller came down for the weekend as well. all of my favorite people = totally present.
overall it was a glorious success. full of dancing (so much dancing), and great costumes, and excellent jungle juice (pat myself on the back). i was very affectionate throughout the evening partially because of the contents of my tupperware container, but also because i truly love all the people in my life. i know all the best people. excellent birthday.
