Apart from my death-defying act, we will all remember Terry's birthday party at Twist as one of the most fun gatherings in memory. Sure, it was a bit over-the-top, or as Valentino wrote, "hedonistic", but it was fun.
Terry and his long-time husband (and my longer-time friend), Bob.

We started the huge spread of food with a rainbow fruit flag platter.

Many, many friends showed up, both local and from New York.

The Incomparable Geraldine performed all night for the crowd.

And, what birthday would be complete without Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday Mr. President?

I managed to snatch up one of The Countess's cabana boys, Stevey, to serve the crowd. He didn't disappoint.

The birthday boy had a blast (especially with the go-go boys), and that was what I planned.

There will be many memorable things about that night, but the cake with the Lois-created image of Terry with Lady GaGa on a deck of the Westerly house was a favorite.
