The Deck, Friday evening

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

Blair had spared nothing to make sure Eric's party was set up. And by "spared nothing" we mean "paid people to make that happen because Blair Waldorf doesn't do service work."

A temporary stage had been set up for the burlesque show. Shirtless cater waiters milled about, ready to supply guests with drinks and food. A cake had a lovely central location. Large heating lamps were placed to help ward off the chill.

Projectors had been set up to show classic films starring Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, and the like. They played silently so as not to drown out the music which was a mix of modern and 30s and 40s dance.

Blair was dressed up in her best Audrey Hepburn look and surveyed the results of her handiwork. It would do.

Arrive!

Show up, get the lay of the land, and so on.

Presents!

Should you happen to have anybody for the birthday boy and just ignore how Eric's birthday was last weekend because god knows Blair isn't fussing about such details.

Enjoy the show!

Burlesque dancers who may get modded by Chuck, not sure, movies.... oh admit it you're here for the shirtless. Which could be part of the dress code, if anyone wanted to join in.

Dance, mingle, do party-type things!

What the subject heading says.

Blair has no idea how much the birthday boy is going to appreciate those waiters.

When he'd seen a sign for a shirtless party, Toby knew he had to show up. With this setup, he was damn glad he had. He could only hope there were other attractive boys in attendance.

Angela still wasn't feeling quite back to her normal self, but enough so that she was not going to miss a party, even if she was only intending to sit on the sidelines.

Being ill most of the week had left her without a real costume, but she did have a dress (http://www.boden.co.uk/col.asp?segname=Women&styid=WH131&segid=6&gpname=Dresses&desname=Knitted+Jewelled+Dress&gpid=6&gen=1#zoom_viewer) that she hoped would keep her relatively warm.

Blair left a wrapped gift (http://www.martiniart.com/xiammartiniset.aspx) for Eric with a note that said Time for you to have one of your own - B

Angela picked herself out a comfortable lounger and settled in to watch shirtless waiters people and enjoy the whole ambiance of the party.

She got the sense she could enjoy tonight, despite still being a little on the coldy side.

"Angela!" Blair came on over to her. "You made it. Good."

Hannibal...didn't really have a favorite classic movie start but he wore a suit and tie as a catch all. Hopefully that would work.

Re: Dance, mingle, do party-type things!

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

After grabbing some food, Hannibal found an empty spot of wall to lean against and enjoy the ambiance.

Lee had nothing better to do so he showed up nicely dressed but not in costume since he really had no idea about classic movie stars.

Still, well dressed.

Re: Arrive!

"With shirtless waiters on offer, how could I stay away," Angela said, smiling at Blair.

Re: Arrive!

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

"I felt there needed to be something for everyone," Blair said.

Re: Dance, mingle, do party-type things!

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee decided he was just going to walk the perimeter of the room, keeping himself moving and busy.

Re: Arrive!

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela chuckled, nodding slightly. "Always thinking of everything," she said.

"And your dress is gorgeous," she added.

Okay, so Amber had been a kitten for the past week. Tonight totally meant it was time to unwind from that and get her party on. No, she didn't know the birthday boy, but that didn't mean anything, right? Of course not. She looked cute in a little black sequined dress (http://www.kirstendunstforum.com/wallpaper/dunst1501152x864.jpg). After being a fuzzy kitten, she definitely felt cute and that's what mattered.

Toby spent a lot of time flirting with shirtless waiters. He even looked like he could be one of them. Other than the lack of food and drink in his hands.

Re: Arrive!

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

Oh that was the right thing to say.

"Thank you." Blear beamed. "It's my absolute favorite movie. We have to do a brunch with it sometime. Perhaps as part of a slumber party. I haven't had mine yet, or my birthday party. I can't believe how easy it is to fall behind!"

Chuck was obviously there, sans Sweetie, and was dressed in his very best Cary Grant-esque wear.

He waved at several of the burlesque dancers he knew when he came in. There was fun to have with them later.

Re: Dance, mingle, do party-type things!

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck had a gin and tonic in his hands and was mingling. Like you do.

Re: Arrive!

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

"Chuck," Blair said, by way of greeting. She wasn't going to admit how good he looked in his outfit. which she'd probably coordinated with if past history is any indication

Re: Arrive!

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I haven't watched it properly in years," Angela admitted. "Shame, because it's such a classic."

She paused a moment, "You fell behind on your own birthday?"

Re: Arrive!

[gameknowsgame.livejournal.com]

"Oh no," Blair assured her. She was pleased that Angela both knew and appreciated the movie. Blair considered this a sign of good taste - both on Angela's part, and on her own for allowing Angela into her circle. "But I haven't done my slumber party yet. Considering how soon my birthday is coming up I'm wondering if I should combine the two. Then again that would cut down severely on the guest list."
