THE GALA EVENT

We had a fabulous red carpet party to celebrate the Lifetime Movie Network premier of ON STRIKE FOR CHRISTMAS. It was great fun seeing one of my books turned into a movie, and getting to share that experience with friends and family. Wish I could have rented a theater and invited twice as many people! As you can see, guests showed up in their bling. We had everything from vintage furs and pearls to boas. (In looking at the pictures though I think I'm going to stick to basic black from now on. My fabulous designer blouse may be fabulous but it makes me look like a fat, pink toadstool. I think I should have had my stylist buddy Gayle Rich help me. In fact, I know I should have had Gayle help me. What was I thinking trying to fly solo for such a big even?!) Since Bob Humbug is a stickler for making us remove our shoes we decided to have a "hottest feet" contest. Jan won with her black lace foxy socks. Annette, our favorite diva on a dime was definitely in the running with her hot pedi but she had to leave early and lost out. What can I say? Must be present to win. :) Let me tell you, I sure felt like a winner getting to celebrate with friends and family. It was a wonderful, memorable day. Thanks to all who came!

Toasting with Jan and soon to be published Sherril (Uh, where's your glass, Flower? Did Bob Humbug steal it?)

As you can see, a great time was had by all.
