Handsome Men and Dazzling Women: The Black Sheep Ball

Who doesn't love a fabulous social event?  This weekend we are hosting (along with a terrific friend of ours) a Black Sheep Ball, to raise money for a local charitable organization.  Not only is this event for a good cause, it is also going to be absolutely out of this world fabulous!  Why is this event different?  Well it will have a great mix of handsome men in tuxedos, dazzling women in outlandish ball gowns, a little bit of ping pong and a lot of pizza complimented with beer and wine.

Are you confused right now? So what is it, "tacky" or "classy"?  That's the whole point: "dress to the nines" but spend as little money as possible!  So we are inviting our guests to choose their attire from something available in their closets, such as an old tuxedo (current or from the 1970's) or a bridesmaid dress they never wore more than once!  And instead of having champagne and out of this world palate pleasing foods, we are having pizza, beer and wine!  So casual but with a lot of class!  Oh, and there's a prize for the "best dressed"!

Are You A "Bond" Girl?

Written By: Va Va Voom (Katrina)

Who doesn't want to be that "Bond" girl? 

I think we have all fantasied of being that woman on the arm of James Bond, but that is not the Bond Girl we are talking about.  How do we "bond" with someone?  Not just the meet and greet with someone, but how do we move to the next level of friendship?

In the Webster dictionary the definition of a bond is: "something that binds a person or persons to a certain circumstance or line of behavior. Or something, as an agreement or friendship, that unites individuals or peoples into a group; covenant: the bond between nations."

Many people find it hard to make that next step in a friendship.  Well sorry to say, but it is quite easy, that is if you are willing to help it develop.  If we want to grow closer with an individual we must be able to give up a level of personal  information, but here is the big BUT, do not give up everything!  We don't want to eat dessert as an appetizer, so wait till the appropriate times in the relationship, when the bond is worthy enough.  Creating a bond takes time, and a true bond is built over many years of silly, fun and even trying times. 

A fun night out bonding with the girls!

So in short are you a "Bond Girl"?  Think about it for awhile.... I am for sure a "Bond Girl", and one of my tight "Bonds" is with my bestie, Oh La La!  And let me tell you our "bond" is unbreakable!
