Farewell 2011

To welcome in the New Year we were invited once again to share the festivities at Jeni and Alain's home. This year's theme was the 1950's. I researched the period online and discovered fashions that I had long forgotten. Slim waists, beatniks, Hawaiian shirts, hats and gloves and of course ties. What to wear? No longer slim waisted so give that a miss. Possibly really never was. How did they achieve that look? Was it the corsets, the 'step-ins'? They did look as if they were going to a premieres just to go shopping or the like. Some fashions seemingly so formal. None the less Stephen and I donned our chosen attire and set forth bravely to see what the other guests had conjured. Margaret had done her homework well and she had reflected perfectly the 1950's. Chris too had ensured parity with the times. Jeni, were you in the kitchen again all night for I have no picture once again. Soon I will venture into your kitchen and snap a memory of our NYE, fun times that you host so well.
