Bees Love Christmas
Monday, December 21, 2009 at 7:00AM *Warning: This post is about my WeddingBee friends, and I will likely use vocabulary that will be highly unusual. Follow the link, and it'll make a little more sense. :)
Last week, my WeddingBee buddy Mrs. Emerald invited all of the Chicago Bees (Quiche, Mascara, Powder Puff, Stiletto, Nachos, and Parfait) to her home for a ladies-only soiree! Almost all of the Bees were able to make it to hang at Emerald's lovely condo... I brought my DSLR because this is likely the only gathering where I can bring my big-booty camera and get laughed at - TOO much.... I have DSLR shame.
We party potluck-style, so we had TONS to eat. Emerald forced us to take home ziplock bags full of leftovers... I can't say I blame her - would you want a month's worth of fatty calories staring you down from the fridge every day??
Um yeah, I had about four plates' worth of food throughout the night. I am making up for all the healthy eating I did while marathon training. Apparently. I brought sweet and sour shrimp puffs, which are SO GOOD, and you should totally make them.
Emerald's condo was so lovely and homey - her greyhound Gia was relaxing in the office, and I have to say, we all fell in love with her. She was so sweet and beautiful!! We wanted her to come out and play, but I think all the strangers made her nervous so we appreciated her from afar.
Emerald also fed us Kahluha Cake. With whipped cream. That's right! Mah tummy was happy!
Although Emerald, Quiche, Powder Puff, Stiletto, Mascara, and I all know each other, this was my first night to meet Miss Nachos and Miss Parfait! They are carrying on the tradition of Chicago Bee pride! We had a fab time talking shop, harmless gossip, and Regretsy - which is a highly hilarious website. Fo sho.
Happy holidays, Bee-babes!
Several of the Bees maintain post-wedding blogs - you should check them out!
