Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving!

Party People



*This one reminds me of some candid photo in Vogue...socialites at some cozy club in New York (in the wee hours of the morning of course)*







*This is one of my favorites...we both look so geeky chic...like we're in a band!*











I remember reading a few years ago about Kate Moss' 30th birthday party in New York...the theme was F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Beautiful and Damned" (very Gatsby-esque) and all of the guests dressed up as glamourous '20s-era flapper girls and dapper gentlemen. The party was legendary. Kate herself was radiant in a sequined midnight-blue number, a cascade of ringlets, and supersmoky eyes...and ever since I've had that image in my mind for my own 30th birthday bash. Now of course our crowd is not as debauched as Kate's (beautiful but hopefully not damned) but we do know how to look good and have a good time. The party was to be intimate, glamourous, and smart...Hanson-family style. I felt very pretty in my Marc Jacobs dress, black buckled ankle boots, and feather-tipped eyelashes. I really have the loveliest friends.

Wow, I REALLY missed out on this party didn't I? I'm so sad I couldn't be there to celebrate you with everyone. But dahling, you know I just wouldn't have had a THING to wear! :-) Clare was there? Wow! Do you know that's the very FIRST picture I've seen of her family since she had her daughter? I've never even seen Sarah! Did you have a blast my dear? The dress is fa-bu by the way.
