party mates

i'm all for made-up holidays and today happens to be australia day.  it just so happens that the aussies inspire me on the party front more than any other nationality.  i try not to look at other parties too too much because i like to keep my ideas fresh and original- but every now and then i just have to peek and i cannot help but be inspired by these glorious parties from down under.

love - love this pink & gold dessert table from my little jedi via amy atlas

it reminds me of juney's sip & see because of the garland.

the B party

soooo. . . this was sort of a lost year for pics. apparently we were too busy getting 'B'lacked out to document the soiree.

not much to say about these. i meeeeaaaan, clearly before babies.
in no particular order:

bouncers {dogs. obvi}
bumble bees
bathrobe guy
ballers
bruins
beach comber
burgler
baywatch babes
beer girl
bowler {think kingpin.}
bond and bond girl
buddy the elf {well-played, willis}
beetlejuice, beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!
big p*ssy {this was the sopranos era}
bananas

from the limited photos, it appears that this party was a Bust! but it really was a blast. the peeps that made an appearance were hardcore {especially bathrobe guy}
this was the first year a costume-contest winner was crowned and our tradition of the winner choosing the next year's letter was born. . .
K-rock nailed it with the letter 'M' . . .

you're in for some magic next week.

so what would you "B"?
