In the beginning, they say that the VIP lounge at studio 54 only had some white plastic lawn chairs. Later it appears they threw a scarf or blanket over an old couch!
Our VIP lounge was slightly more upscale (but only marginally so!)
The entrance to the VIP Lounge, where weary celebrities were able to relax and get away from the "little people". It may look like you are in my library ready to go into my back room, but that would simply be a lack of imagination!
Before the party, disco balls hanging from the ceiling. You can see all that white snow outside our french doors in the woods.. sigh..
A closeup of the makeup - so MUCH makeup! Who did I go as? Given I am such a patriotic Canadian, and given my hair, that really left only one option: Margaret Trudeau!!!
Oh I was the original golden diva, given that the 14th is my golden anniversary!
My date for the night. We couldn't figure out who he was, but settled on Elton John in the end...
Thanks to the Merry Wife, who reminded me to add "It's Raining Men" to the playlist. I did, and that got all the men on the dance floor early, including my husband and one of his pals!
Actually, for some odd reason, last night the men dominated the dance floor. This is not typically the case at a party Chez WMM, but at one point, it was only men dancing. Which, if you think of it, was pretty typical for the original Studio 54. The other funny thing is that the men would gather outside the french doors in the snow, smoking cigars and showing each other every aspect of their polyester ensembles! If you had lit a match, we would have all gone up in flames!
More pictures to come of the guests this week, as I am now waiting for photos, having given up taking pictures after I opened my first gift which was the box set of Fifty Shades of Grey. Wrapped in a tie. Those of you who have read the books will know what this means. I do not know, but I am guessing!
Suffice to say, it was a grand time. The last guest left around 12:30 am (this is provincial life after all and we are mid-century creatures!), I crawled into bed full of champagne and hickory sticks (we had pigs in blankets too!) and stayed in bed this a.m. until I was sure Barry had it all cleaned up :-) I am not proud of that fact, but it is the truth! My hair is still stiff as a board this morning!
It turns out that a disco dance party helps lessen the sting of turning the big 5-0!
Today's plans - rest, get ready for the Golden Globes (must get more Hickory Sticks!) and some yoga! Good lord, I was so stiff this morning!
Have a fabulous Sunday and Stay Safe Out There!

| Is that Betty Ford on the right? Could she have been at Studio 54? Help me! |

| Leave it up to you to imagine what would have been on that mirror in the heyday of Studio 54! and yes, we recreated that with icing sugar! |
