I've come to Willow's Annual Ball with my partner, Nick Carroway. He can charleston like a dream and his manners are impeccable. I'm aware that he is quite a people watcher, but that's okay , for so am I. We spotted Jordan Baker in the distance, which gave me a bit of a turn.
We have been dancing for hours. I don't care for Mr Lovecraft's opinion, who is he to call me insane, or "almost nobody." I am perfectly sober.
Willow's peppermint cordial is delicious, but I think I'll sit the next dance out.
Better put on my mask.

If that's absinthe I guess you are not insane after all. I love what you did with the black net petticoat. I caught a chill watching from the window. The best ball I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, PLEASE come to the ball at Willow Manor, stop just looking through the window. I know that you have the perfect outfit.
DeleteWho will bring as your partner?
Continue to have a wonderful time and worry not about what that Mr whatsisname has to say!
ReplyDeleteI'll worry not, Bee. I agree with George Carlin. He said, 'Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."
ReplyDeleteOh I can't even remember the last time I went dancing, unless you count bopping around the kitchen. Such a fun post!

Connie, you of the oh so supple back -not dancing!! And you've posted such wonderful images of dancers this week. Hurry over to Tess Kincaid's ball and join in all the fun.
DeleteHaunting and lovely pic of you in your mask! Welcome to Willow Manor...
ReplyDeleteDear Hostess, Thank you for your hospitality. What can be better than a masked fantasy ball!
DeleteOh it does sound as if you are having a wonderful time. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't blogging fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun night!
ReplyDeleteHow many feathers did you loose? I hope that Mr Cagney cheered up and didn't resort to fisticuffs.
DeleteGlad to see you lived it up...
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw you dancing round the ornamental pool you appeared to be wearing very pale pink. What happened to the multi-coloured babygro? It's a good job the lights were low.
