NYE Idea: Throw a Dynasty-Themed Bash!
Did somebody say Dynasty, daahling?
Do you have any fun plans for New Year’s Eve, my lovelies? While I would love to be sunning myself on a deserted tropical island, it looks like we might just be staying in town (unless someone would like to sponsor our trip… Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?). So I am pondering ideas…
I recently attended a Dynasty-themed holiday party, which was a blast (from the past!) and could make for a very fun New Year’s Eve party! Here are a few photos…
Muffy, Watson, Alex P. Keaton and Bunny
What to wear? Lots of gold, sequins and animal prints, of course! Lucky for me, I had just attended Paula Abdul’s estate sale, where, much to my delight, I unearthed a corduroy leopard-print jacket from the $10 bin. While pondering what I would wear on the bottom, out of the corner of my eye I spied more corduroy leopard in another bin, and voila, a pantsuit was born!
Bitsy, Lovie, Bunny and Muffy
To add to the ’80s glamour, I tossed on every sparkly bauble I could find (including my wedding shoes!). And never one to not bring a hostess gift, I brought candy cigarettes and a large Ziploc full of powdered sugar (’twas organic!).
The fabulous hostesses Bitsy and Lovie (a.k.a. Amanda and Chrystina; as seen on the left) awarded prizes, and I was thrilled to win Best Dressed Dynasty Ensemble! I think having to wear pants that were two sizes too small (I couldn’t sit; only stand — that Paula Abdul is an itty bitty dancing machine!) might have gained me the prize. My friend Muffy (otherwise known as Jenny), took home Best Dressed for her turban-tastic ensemble. I take two steps forward, I take two steps back…
It was a ridiculously fun night (muchas smooches to the hostesses!) and could be a really fun idea for a last-minute New Year’s Eve bash. And, it inspired me to throw a theme party of my own in the New Year… The only question is, what theme?
Have you ever attended (or hosted) a fun theme party? I’d love to hear your ideas xx!
p.s. Mr. Buss looked adorable and very Alex P. Keaton in a Porsche tie and I Heart NY cufflinks, though he did have outfit envy when he saw Watson’s turtleneck-and-blazer combo. 
– It was on my Christmas wishlist after seeing my darling fashionista friend 
– Yes it makes you look like Jenna Jameson and is to this year what the Snuggie was to Christmas last year, completely embarrassing yet coveted all at once. But, it’s way more fun than lifting weights and it only takes six minutes. After getting it (and giving it) for Christmas, I’ve already seen a difference, proven by the fact that I walk around constantly saying “feel my bicep!” Watch out Ripa, there’s a new Kelly in town.
