Santa Fusion

December 12th, 2009

NBC New York reports that the global phenomenon that is Santacon is descending upon New York City, and other locations, today – Saturday December12th. 

Since anyone and everyone is welcome to join in the mayhem, NBC was kind enough to remind all potential Santaconners of the three basic rules of all Santacon events. The first and most important of which, and the only one I’m going to talk about,  . . .

LULU Day

November 11th, 2009

The holidays are looming and the pressure builds. Who is coming to Thanksgiving? Who’s hosting it this year? What will I make? Will crazy Uncle Ted and Cousin Barney have another knock down drag out political debate? How will I make sure to get a piece of Grandma’s pecan pie before my sister woofs it all down?

Happy Anniversary, Woodstock

August 14th, 2009

Totally groovy! That’s what it was then. That’s what it is 40 years later. It was three days of music, art, debauchery (according to some), peace, love, and history-making on a farm in Bethel, New York.

Woodstock-PosterA half a million people showed up, camped out, dealt with the rain and mud, figuring out how to deal with things like where to sleep, where to pee, and getting food and water.

40 years later, Woodstock is still the most famous event in the history of rock and it is still celebrated across the country every year. Join the party, man!! Dig out your tie-dyed shirts, your  tattered bell-bottomed jeans, your psychedelic glasses, peace symbols, and long, wild, and free hair. Load your friends into your VW Van and cruise to your nearest Woodstock Anniversary event, Woodstock Theme party, or any party or bar. Just be a part. Just celebrate. Just remember.

Make sure you’re in your tie-dyed threads, your flower girl outfits, put on those hippie glasses and peace symbols for Taking Woodstock to be released, or, as they say, “coming to a theater near you,” on August 28. It’s all about the original Woodstock in 1969.

ABC Party Costume Possibilities

February 23rd, 2009

I just heard about a great new theme party idea. How about an ABC Party? Anything But Clothes, that is. Imagine all the possibilities!

You could dress yourself up in . . .

  • Aluminum Foil
  • Food wrappers and containers
  • Cotton Balls (and look like a big bunny or the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man)
  • Tar and Feathers (very historic)
  • Boas
  • Postage Stamps (start early with the licking and sticking)
  • Bandaids (some bikinis cover less than this)
  • Ace Bandages, Cloth Bandages, or Medical Tape (think “The Mummy”)
  • Cardboard
  • Newspaper
  • Cellophane
  • Liquid Latex (it doesn’t get any sexier than this)
  • Foliage (fake or real) (If Adam and Eve did it, so can you)
  • Balloons (bring extras in case of poppage)
  • Coconuts and palm fronds (it’s Island Time)
  • Duct Tape (good for just about any project)

Let your wildly creative side take over from here. I bet you can add a bunch more possible costume ideas.

  

Don’t forget to top your outfit off with just the right wig, hat, wings, or glasses.

If your outfit is so skimpy,  need to hide your face, add the perfect mask to keep your identity a secret.

 

This is the Party that will be all the Rage in 2009

January 19th, 2009

I have the secret inside scoop. So please handle the following highly classified information with extreme care. I can’t give you names and dates – that would put my life in jeopardy – but I can tell you this. Through a bunch of random, serendipitous, and chance meetings, emails, and conversations I have discovered what THE big celebration/party event is for 2009.

Disco Roller Parties will be all the rage in 2009. So if you want to be hipper than hip, the coolest of the cool, on the very cutting edge of all things awesome, make your next party a Disco Roller Party. Rent out a roller rink. Apparently this is quite easy. Hire the roller rink DJ, then either supply the funky 70’s tunes or see if your DJ can dig them up. Get some cool disco party decorations and have your guests wear their best disco, 70’s or 80’s outfits.

When your friends arrive whether wearing their flared pants, afro wigs, and sequined shirts, or tube tops, short shorts and striped socks, they’ll be ready to get down. Just have the drinks ready and the funky music blasting and the rest will be party history.
