Winter Party on South Beach...The Countess Version, Part One
The Mrs. Astor has been blogging away for the past two days telling all about our adventures in Wonderland. Check out her blog to see fabulous stories and beautiful pictures....especially of moi !!
The Countess arrived in SoBe last Wednesday with just enough time to hang up my outfits before my darling Mark was at the door to escort me to the Opening Night Cocktail Party at the Surfcomber.
Once there we met up with Mrs. Astor who was volunteering at the Welcome table.
Unfortunately for The Countess the event was sponsored by Grey Goose vodka and, although there were free vodka drinks aplenty, there was no Glenlivet. So we retired to the hotel bar for awhile to have a glass of scotch. At the bar we made some new friends. Here are The Countess and Mark at the bar with Chip, Mike, and Theresa....
By the time we left that bar and returned to the Cocktail Party, everyone at the hotel had become a friend of The Countess. Maybe I should start my own self-help group :)
My regular readers know that I am a big fan of Joe.My.God. and Joe's friend, Father Tony, interviewed me to get a message out to Joe that we missed him at the party. You can see that video here. You can laugh at the Countess as much as I do when I watch this. OMG, can one old lady have any more fun? Yes, she can! Read Tony's account of the Opening Night Cocktail party on the Bilerico Blog.
The fabulous drag queen, Tiffany Fantasia, always finds The Countess and we got interviewed by the Miami Herald and got our picture in the Herald the next day......How fabulous is that?
After schmoozing with so many old friends and having so many laughs, we decamped to Twist to see Susie who was bartending at the Bungalow Bar. She made sure there was Glenlivet at her bar....
The next night Mark and I drove up to Ft. Lauderdale to have dinner at The Manor with the Baroness Vickie, Penny, and Steve, who was visiting from the Berkshires.....
On Friday I went over to the Surfcomber Hotel to talk to the catering staff about the food for my party. This is what the pool looked like before it was decorated....
The next day it was very festive.....
Next blog is about the Pool Party with my personal Cabana Boys, wonderful friends, and more Fabulous Fun!!

Every time you visit this town I worry about my position, but ever time you visit this town I have so much fun. I don't think so many could have so much fun without you, dear Countess. Of course, you are a boy thief, but who could bring you to trial for that. Thanks, so much.
Alexis, I thank you and Leo for your gracious hospitality. As Terry said, "We tore it up!"
Until the next time....*kisses*
