Well, my 2010 Tony Awards party was a real bust. Nothing like the huge bashes I use to throw back in L.A.; a pile of Louis Vuitton shoes and handbags by the front door, large enough to bury a Smart Car. I don't know if it's my new Western North Carolina location or if I was too demanding in my dress code. (Dress as your favorite character from Wicked. No glitter because it gets on the furniture and never disappears, which totally doesn't work for Gossip Girl night.) Whichever it was I only had one attendee who I hardly knew.
From the moment he walked in the door he was giving me a hard time about my costume saying that "Kristen Chenoweth" doesn't count as a character from Wicked unless I'm actually dressed as Glinda the Good Witch. Well let me tell you, it took everything in me not to give him a little bit of the Wicked Witch of the West seeing as he completely ignored the theme and was dressed as Rue McClanahan. Trying to be a gracious host though I let it go. We settled onto the couch for night of big surprises.
Tony Awards 2010 Surprises:
1. I was really surprised to see how many Broadway actors have second careers as lawyers/attorneys. It seemed like almost every single one of them thanked their partners...Who knew.
2. I think my one guest might have been gay. Not that I'm judging, but he ate all my Junior Mints.
3. No audience shots of Liza Minnelli. She's still alive right? Totally messed up the drinking game I had planned. We had to do our shots to Will Smith and Angela Lansbury.
4. After lots of shots a good musical number from American Idiot can lead to heavy drinking straight out of the bottle.
5. The huge tickle fight between Kristen Chenoweth and Rue McClanahan.
6. Now that the party is over and everyone's gone I'm missing two large scented candles.
Overall, a good night despite the low turnout and candle theft. See you all again next year.
I actually was invited to a costumed party Tony awards theme yesterday but alas missed it. Still waiting to see pics of the costumed people who did attend. You crack me up!
ReplyDeleteThanks. We'll make it happen next year.
