And I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light…

 My 40th Birthday is next month and the invitations went out today.  All you Plonkers are invited (if you can afford the plane ticket and accommodation)

It's a Super Heroes Theme and its a dress up party.  WhoooooHoooooo!

Now, all you Plonkers who have read my blog for longer than fives minutes, will know I fucking LOVE dress up parties.  I go all out and think big.  I detail everything from hair, make-up, nails, accessories, props, outfit and of course, the perfect matching shoes.

Super Hero Invitation

I'm not going to spoil it for you and tell you who I'm going as (you'll have to wait until next month to see that) but I will share some of the details of the party.

I've found the most brilliant venue with a massive bar down the entire side of the hall.  Perfect for a winter party and to get well-oiled.  It's got lots of space for dancing (the most important thing about one of my parties).  I've planned some great winter food and a Super Hero Potion with a kick like a mule for my Heros to glug down. 

I'm hoping to hire a juke-box with all my favourite dance toonz. I'm also rather keen on have a photo booth corner with a cool Gotham City backdrop complete with props, where all the Heros and Villians can go and get their photo taken.  Or a make-shift red telephone booth but I haven't decided yet.  Also, I'm not sure how I would make a telephone booth.

I do need some help and fresh ideas from you Plonkers.  What will really make the party pop?  Got any wicked suggestions for me?

Whimsical Wonderland Party

The Whimsical Wonderland 30th Birthday Party was awesome. 

Jo (the birthday girl) had gone to LOTS of trouble and had thought of every little detail from the decor, the music, how the food and champagne was presented.  We felt transformed into a different world.  It was Out of This World!

I had tons of fun getting ready and dressing up.  I completely changed my costume from what I originally planned and I'm glad I did.  This little number was much more appropriate.  My boerewors and I danced the night away...

Here's some of the pix I took.  I didn't take many as Jo had a friend at the party who does professional photography so I reckoned I would get a few images from her eventually.

The Venue

They had a Slide Show of Jo Through The Ages

looping on a flatscreen on one side of the room.

The three-tiered cake (middle) - yes its all edible

Loads of whacky cupcakes (which were to-die-for-delicious)

and "The Sweetie Shop" at the back

At "The Sweetie Shop" you could fill your funky little bag

or cup with an assortment of brightly coloured sweeties.

Oh yes, enough sugar for an army

Pink! Pink! Everywhere!

Awesome Party Invitation

I got an awesome invitation to a party yesterday.


How cool is this invite to a 30th Birthday Party??

Jo put so much effort and thought into each invite and each one was completely unique!

I can't wait to find an equally outrageous outfit to wear.

It will definitely have to be completely cooky.

Any suggestions?
