My fellow Amazons and I threw a bridal shower bash for my auntie this past weekend. She and twenty of her best chiquita friends descended from Themyscira for a Wonder Woman inspired afternoon tea.
Yes, it's a little off-kilter to have a Wonder Woman tea party for a woman who's in her early forties, but we're off-kilter babes.
With our pots of Earl Grey and Constant Comment, our lemon poppyseed scones, our goat cheese and watercress sandwiches, and our best party dresses, we were a house of estrogen. Melissa even invented a new cocktail in honor of the occasion. The "Blushing Bride" was a glass of champagne with a dash of rose essence and exceedingly tasty.
The blushing bride, herself, received a whole slew of cool gifts. Including a panty/camisole set that look like Wonder Woman's outfit. And some Super Girl Underoos. Really.
I'd show you a picture of the bouquet that Josie made out of all the ribbon and a paper plate, but I left my camera's memory card at work. Had the camera, but no card. (Did you guys know that you're not supposed to cut the ribbons off the packages at a bridal shower? Apparently, it "severs the marriage." Who comes up with this stuff?!)
I promise not to forget my camera card on Friday for the pre-wedding dinner or on Saturday for the festivities themselves. Of course, the four people who read this blog will actually be there and see everything for themselves. :)
*Note to all the people who aren't geeks out there: Themyscira is the island where all the Amazons live and that Wonder Woman came from.
