I've been busy the last few days preparing for the cyber event of the year: the second annual Willow Manor Ball. Although I didn't attend this event last year, I've heard that it's pretty fancy and I was delighted to be invited.The ball takes place at the Willow Manor blog. You can visit Willow Manor at: http://www.willowmanor.blogspot.com/
Of-course I've been to the salon, the spa, the jewelry store, and had several fittings with a seamstress who did some minor alterations on my vintage gown, but I think I'm all set.
I can't wait to slip into my ball gown with the crushed velvet bodice and long sleeves. I love the color, and it seems just the right thing for a crisp October night.
I've also selected some lovely jewels: a diamond necklace and earrings, to add some shimmer.
My escort, BB, will be wearing a tuxedo, a la Marlene Dietrich, perfectly tailored just for her, and we'll be motoring down to the Manor from Detroit in our classic 1939 Cadillac Fleetwood.

Ooo, I adore the color of your dress, and that skirt? So dramatic.
Ooooh...the green is a lovely choice! I saw you over by the cheese platter....your gown catches the candle light perfectly! Isn't this fun...Willow really knows how to throw a party! Well...I'm off to find the dessert table...

I looked all over for a dress like that. Your dress is stunning! My mother left me her emeralds and your dress would suit them perfectly. maybe next year. Do come around to Linda #53 for some dancing and a martini. It is the Scottish dance hall just north of the manor. We are having such a wonderful time there.
Wonderful accoutrements for the ball! Your Fleetwood is purely divine!
You were stunning in that gown! And your jewels glittered as you danced the night away. May I say, that green was eye-popping and perfect for a fall evening...
