The Almost Famous 70’s Soiree
I was horrified when I picked up the cake. I asked for tie-dye and daises. Hello, Cake Wrecks?
Far out vignette’s were placed in every nook and cranny.
I found this darling journal at Anthro a few months back.
It will serve as a reminder of tye dyed doilies and hand sewn invitations. Everyone at the party also signed the album making it all the more precious.
A 1970’s Menu
Party central. (The bright rainbow paper gave instructions for fondue how to.)
A few tambourines if you feel musically inclined.
Peace.
Born free.
Stepford wives have nothing on us. (Mel, Jackie, me, Jamie, and Phyllis.)
Flower children.
Our neighbor Alan won the costume contest. The huge mutton chop sideburns he applied made it an easy choice.
But Rudi was a serious contender.
Boogie Oogie to the 8 tracks.
Stay groovy,
The Disco Duchess

Laura you have definitely missed your calling and I have alerted Ryan Seacrest. You were dope, dawg!
You and the Fashionista were two pretty hip chicks and Rudy was boss.
Looks like the whole evening was beautifully planned and thoroughly enjoyed. And yes, I did “smoke” those candy cigarettes and thought I was pretty cool while doing so.
Good luck on exams and I am trying to get some pics of the art deco buildings down here. Raining today, and have only been in the deco district at nite so far, but I will definitely get some day time pics. Now go study young lady!
Simply Awesome Party! What great decorations and your outfits were wonderful! This will be an event everyone will remember forever.
HAHAHAHHA MAX!!!!!
i didn't know he was video taping that! i thought he was just taking pictures of us dancing like a fool!
sigh
