My Birthday - A Photo Essay :)

I arrived at Liz Maverick's brand new apartment for the event. She and her minions had created a beautiful table of wines, cheese, and both Magnolia AND Buttercup cupcakes. (Liz is a Buttercup girl, I'm Magnolia all the way!)



As a good hostess should, Liz made sure I was appropriately pampered.


The pleated dress. Worn by all fashionistas in the know. Not to mention Leanna and I.


Liz is happy she's been relieved of grape feeding duty.


While Leanna tries to sneak a second cupcake.


Okay the bet is on! Nick wants to see Liz stuff half a cupcake in her mouth at once. And he's putting his money where his mouth is!


She really wants that five bucks!


And we have a winner!!


Morgan is a dedicated photographer. And isn't Sarah's dress awesome?


Once in a while I can get Morgan on the other side of the lens.


As you can see, a fun time was had by all!


Okay! It's midnight. Time for a few dedicated party people to bundle up and head to Lotus for some dancing!


Yeah, we're scenesters. Fer realz.


I love the concept of bottle service! You never have to go up to a bar. And thanks to my favorite NY party promoter, Etie, it's totally free!! (Normally $300 for the bottle and table. Yes, people do pay that. It's NYC.)


The music was (unfortunately) hip hop. But Stacy and Liz got down anyway.


And the goth girlz try and fail to look street.


One bonus of a $300 table? You can dance on it!


A fact that disturbs Leanna greatly.


It's past two am. And the club is still a hoppin'...


But after seven hours of partying, my hosts were ready for their beds. Can't blame them, really!

And there you have it! My birthday!! As you can probably see from the pics, it was a total blast!!! Thanks to all the SWAT GIRLS for making it a night I'll never forget!! :)

Now back to writing my book.
