Willow Manor Ball


I'm ready for the ball.*
I'm going stag.
Thought I could...persuade...some of you nice gentlemen to dance with me. 
Don't worry - the safety's on!

Oh, but the last dance goes to my dear sweetie - Dr. M. Winfield Scott Hancock.Isn't he handsome?

*Go here to see what all the fuss and fun are about.

Stag is great too, you sly vixen. I'm sure there'll be plenty of dancing partners to fill your card up with. Now why didn't I think of that? Ouch, Bertie, that's another toe, darlin', yes. ;~D

You are gorgeous! Love the boa ... it really makes the outfit! Fantastic. Arlo wants a spot on your dance card, ok? He's a great dancer, who knew?

Tess Kincaid said...

Look at you (!!!) I adore the flapper look...fabulous, daaaahling...simply fabulous. You will have no problem finding multiple dates...

Tess Kincaid said...

Giggle...I just noticed the revolver...perhaps with a silver bullet?

Yoli said...

You were lovely!! How wonderful to have met you. Thank you for allowing me to borrow the piece, I persuaded so many gents to dance.

Linda said...

Wow!! I love your ball gown.... you fit right in with Tess and all her red feathers. Cha cha cha..... lets dance!!

Steve Reed said...

Wow, what a getup! You look great! But even with the safety on, I'd be nervous. :)

I do have to admit to a bit of time travel here - this photo was taken several years ago :)

I've got to lose the shoes - they're killing my feet! Hope I don't slip on those Manor wooden floors!

Carolina Linthead said...

That's a Smith & Wesson, darling...no safety to be had. We had a fine time that evening, didn't we? I should have sported my fedora, but I must confess, the uniform is a chick magnet! Saving the last dance for you, as always...

altar ego said...

You look absolutely stunning. Love the gun! Have a ball at the ball!

Jacqueline said...

Hah! Love the accessory! You look maahvelous dahling!

Helen said...

Yee Haw! Meeting you in person? Marvelous ...........

Margaret said...

A lady with a feathered boa is always dangerous! :) Can't wait to see you dancin' the flapper dance.

Kim said...

Very stylish! Especially like the hand-held accessory :) You look like some gangster's moll (is that the correct term?). Go girl!

NCmountainwoman said...

You look absolutely fabulous! BTW: I noticed you are reading the second Armand Gamache mystery. I just loved them.

Gerry Snape said...

Lose those shoes...dance barefoot...be a gypsy...looking sooo good.

Carolina Linthead said...

You REALLY deserved to win that night.

Tom said...

whoa...is that a magnum? Thanks for the dance, by the way. Can you point me to the punch bowl?

Carrie Burtt said...

You don't need a gun to persuade those guys Bug...you look flaming hot beautiful in that dress....who needs those fuddy duddys!!

Carolina Linthead said...

Yes, .357 magnum, Tom...my father's service revolver.

culdesacchronicles said...

You look fabulous, darling! I hope they give prizes for the best costume. The pistol is the cherry on top! Your dance card will be full.

Angela said...

Wow, those shoes! I could not even walk in them, let alone dance! But I prefer the barefoot dancing anyhow. Did you speak to the Last Word Cocktails, and how do you feel today?
