Yesterday was my birthday, and let me tell you, I’ve spent the whole week celebrating!
The burlesque.
To kick off the celebrations, an intimate group of friends and I went to an intimate showing of burlesque at Red Bennies on Chapel Street. The night followed a seven deadly sins theme, with Becky Lou as gluttony, Rosy Rabbit as envy, Dolores Daiquiri as lust, Vesper White as wrath, Kerry X as sloth, my friend Zoe’s friends Cleave and Daly as vanity, and Evie Red as greed. There’ll be another showing tomorrow night, so get your tickets quick smart!
The presents.
In lieu of Peter Alexander slippers (they’re sold out of my size til March!), Clare got me these über-trendy K-Mart slippers. Anthony was a crafty little minx and got me Marc Jacobs’ Daisy perfume after I complimented a co-worker on it. There were flowers, cake, heartfelt roommate letters, The Slap, and movie vouchers.
The Headless Horseman, Cher and The Joker.
I think this was about ten minutes after we arrived. I waste no time when it comes to getting my krunk on!
If I have to listen to Ke$ha one more time…
Feminists in arms legs.
Sister love.
Easy A.
Feminists in arms, Stone Cold Steve Austin edition!
The best part of the night was having April—responsible for “Postcards from Canada”—back from, erm, Canada! Fittingly, she went as a racoon.
The Halloween party.
My main birthday/Halloween celebrations took place on Saturday night at A Bar Called Barry on Smith Street. I went as feminist icon Rosie the Riveter, and there were fellow feminists Easy A and Cher, as well as Scream killers, Headless Horsemen, assorted animals and the Joker, amongst others.
It was a great night, and I’ve already started planning my birthday for next year! You’re all on notice; get your costumes ready now!
The stack.
Despite all the partying, I still managed to get the prerequisite reading in. What did I learn? The three biggest (celebrity) news items of the week are Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage breakdown, Jessica Simpson’s pregnancy and Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s budding love. Can’t wait to pick up Who tomorrow for all the latest goss!
Andrew really looks impressed at me flaunting my birthday sombrero. I think he’s just jealous…
The birthday dinner.
My final birthday event was a Mexican siesta at Taco Bill in Kensington last night. Happy birthday to me!
