Miss Party has returned from her SUPER-fabulous trip to New Orleans for the Super Bowl! What a warm and colorful city and people. It was the perfect place to hold a monumental event like the Super Bowl and all the hoopla that surrounds it. We loved every minute of it! Here are the highlights of […]
Miss Party firmly believes we should all strive to learn something new every day, even when you’re as old as dirt…but REALLY, you would have thought someone might have straightened her out before now!

So, here are a few pics from Miss Party’s ‘MAD MEN’-inspired ‘JINGLE MINGLE’ holiday party taken throughout the evening.

Plans are coming along for Miss Party’s swanky, little cocktail party. This year’s party theme, JINGLE MINGLE, circa 1962, calls for Miss Party’s restraint in over-decorating –chic rather than kitsch. This is an extremely difficult task because she firmly believes the holiday season is no time to begin practicing restraint. If it is what is […]
Miss Party is crazy-in-love with the final results of the untraditional party invitations she created for her ‘JINGLE MINGLE’ holiday party!

They hit a sweet […]
