"the" Mrs. Astor

Friday, February 02, 2007


The Super Bowl makes people crazy. Original Seventh member, Andy (always known for his love of sports and boys), had to be roped and hog-tied in front of the ESPN pavillion. We couldn't take any more of his football enthusiasm.

A good example of crazy: When I said we had hundreds of thousands of barbarians from the Mid-West descending upon our tropical paradise, I wasn't giving myself over to hyperbole. In the middle of our tasteful cocktail reception for The Countess du Barry (where talk of satin slippers was far more prevailing than pigskin), this creature tried to scale our walls and was fended off by olives shot from our catapults. Well, it was actually just our railing he was trying to scale, and a blonde, blue-eyed boy was probably in for a fate worse than death had he actually made it over.


And, yes, even Riley gave in to the antics of celebration. (Motorola has taken over Ocean Drive as "Motorola Mile".
Sigh.

Only the power of "The" Mrs. Astor and the Countesses could have planned soooo many events with smoke and mirrors to distract the unwanted party crashers and paparazzzi (we have our own favorites) from the "Tiaras at the Palace". I do suspect that the Superbowl Players and volleyball playing models are all paid actors and ESPN is being paid off in fried food and Snow Queen vodka.
