Willow Ball

Excitement never ends. First a family wedding and now the third annual Willow Ball. I can hardly wait! Click on this link for more information about the Willow Ball. You are invited, too!

First I'm going to have a long soak in a bubble bath.


Then I will twist up my hair in a simple little knot and spray a discreet little spray of Chanel No. 5.


I had thought about this designer dress by Christian Siriano (from Project Runway) but then I decided ... no


So I decided on this simple little number that I found on frenchnovelty.com . I believe it is a copy of a Selena Gomez Oscar gown. (I hope Selena is not attending!)

Then I will slip on my shiny little Jimmy Choos ...




and my ruby earrings ...


and run out to meet my date - no, not Simon Baker. It is his alter ego, Patrick Jane, from the "Mentalist". Won't he make the most interesting observations about all the guests? I love his eyes. I think he deserves a little fun. He works so hard.

We are riding in his interesting little car, a Citroen DS21... He was going to borrow a sports car from a friend, but check out this video of what happened to the last car he borrowed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Kf1rcBAGw

I'm so glad I picked the second dress. We would never have gotten all those pink ruffles into his car. See you at the ball!!!

  1. Ohh, you will be a knockout! That silver dress is HOT. And a silver Citroen to match! And Choos and a very handsome dreamy escort. The bathtub to start looks so nice, though, I wonder if I'd want to leave for the ball?

  9. What a beautiful, tastefully slinky dress you chose. Simon was dazzled - I could tell by the way he looked at you!

  10. Beautiful silhouette on the silver dress and beautiful hand-beading.

    I love Christian Siriano; he made great television. His pink dress looks like one that Taylor Swift would wear - very fun.
