Having a ball!

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.

What did you say? It's absinthe!
Better put on my mask.

  1. 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!

    1. Melanie, PLEASE come to the ball at Willow Manor, stop just looking through the window. I know that you have the perfect outfit.
      Who will bring as your partner?

  3. I'll worry not, Bee. I agree with George Carlin. He said, 'Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."

  4. Oh I can't even remember the last time I went dancing, unless you count bopping around the kitchen. Such a fun post!

    1. How many feathers did you loose? I hope that Mr Cagney cheered up and didn't resort to fisticuffs.

    1. When 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.
