More New Year’s Photos

January 11, 2008 by WendyB

Finally, I have gotten the rest of the photos from my New Year’s Eve/Birthday Party at Butter. I will share a few. First, a couple of additional looks at my vintage Versace/Little Bo Peep dress. (And though I usually don’t do this, you can click on the photos to enlarge.)

It had a nice circle skirt

The skirt was left open in the back so I could show off the petticoats underneath.

“Whee!”

After midnight, Paul wore a hat while I had crazy eyes.

“Whatchoo looking at, WendyB?”

My brother-in-law Tim is an enthusiastic dancer. He emailed me: “ I just hope I did not kick any one too hard while dancing. If some one eventually claims they were kicked in the butt,shin or between the uprights, please tell them I was a party crasher and you do not know me!”

How could I ever deny knowing a guy who takes his surfing moves to the dance floor?

Paul and I danced too, when we weren’t pogoing.

I’ll share some more guest photos when I’m not so darn tired!

All photos by Tana Lee Alves.

UPDATED TO ADD: Behold! A pair of fashion journalists.

My dear friend Phil, who has put up with me since 1989, when I was just “a junior”or “a low-to-the-ground mini-goat,” as he put it.

Gorgeous friend Angela is also a gorgeous client; she’s the proud owner of my Xenobia ring.

    The dress is really pretty and so are you and so is your red lipstick and now I sound like a creep. I can’t compliment for my life, only insult. Is that a bad sign?

    Well hello young lady, you look like you’re celebrating your 16th birthday! I’ve commented on how gorgeous that dress is, and how young and pretty you are, but those blings when the pics are blown up, man, I’m stunned!

    Now that looks like fun. I come from the Elaine Benes school of dancing and even that takes several drinks but I could never look as smooth as the brother in law.

    Those pictures are awesome. I should really start being more outgoing and stylish, because there aren’t a lot of great photographers hanging around my couch.

    You looked FABULOUS in that extremely cute dress!! It looks like everyone had so much fun, I wish my New Year’s Eve was that exciting. Have a fulfilling New Year Wendy and I saw your jewelry in the Essence issue. They used a few of your pieces, how FAB is that!
