"To me, being grown-up meant smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails, and dressing up in high heels and glamourous outfits."
~ Lorna Luft
This dress...
adorned with this pin...
and this apron while serving...
while balancing on these kitten heels.
Champagne cocktail, anyone?
“When her guests were awash with champagne and with gin,
She was recklessly sober, as sharp as a pin.
An abstemious man would reel at her look,
As she rolled a bright eye and praised his last book.”
~ William Plomer
Yes please.....Happy Christmas Charmaine, xv.

I'm right there with Lorna Luft!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
I grew up watching and loving "The Dick Van Dyke Show", where Rob and Laura always hosted wonderful and witty cocktail parties, as did my own Mother and Father. To this day, despite marriage, kids and mortgage, I still do not feel like an official grown-up only because I have neither attended nor hosted such a fabulous soiree as those I witnessed as a child. Sigh. Love your fab selection!
ReplyDeleteThat brooch! Those heels! Those glasses!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm SO excited the sugarless frosting was a hit! Made my morning to hear that.
