New Year’s – The Musical – Twenty-Twelve Arrives

Twenty-Eleven brought a bushel and a peck of blessings, and I was determined to give it a celebratory bon voyage.

The Opening Act

The Cast
The Result
Twenty-Four+ plates dirtied (because I despise plastic and paper) from Miss Saigon Sushi, Marry Poppin’s Scones, 7 for 7 Mountain Man Stew (nice abbreviation no?), Hairspray Chicken Wings (hairspray modifying chicken as an inspiration rather than a dressing), West Side Story Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes, and a myriad of other broadway belly fillers.
Musical charades were performed, everyone sang at least a bar, and most of us kept our eyes open until the New Year rang in.
My Costume Breakdown
Garcia Dress, Anthropologie 
Sequin Front Cardigan, Banana Republic
And I should have gotten a bumpit to achieve a sixties inspired coif, but we learn from our mistakes.
