Excitement! I am to host the Carnivale de Couture on April 10th! (I am so busy in March!) So, I will post my topic on about April 3rd. But there’s plenty of time before then, I just had to share the happiness.

This week’s topic, from Verbal Croquis, is

You are throwing a little dinner party featuring fashion glitterati, past or present, dead or alive. You are only allowed to invite 5 people. Feel free to include designers, style icons, journalists, models, moguls, intellectuals, you name it.

More excitement!

Here is my list of personal choices!

• Coco Chanel - She created the most elegant and classy designer line that today inspires others and remains a powerhouse while still being true to the classic Chanel. And the woman is fascinating. I’ve read so many of the things she’s said; she is both inspiring and sometimes bewildering, even infuriating … all at first read. Eventually, the quotes are realized to be so natural as women are themselves, she had such wisdom and truth. Wouldn’t you love to speak with her?
• Tyra Banks - She is a true model, a role model with a brain, personality, a real body, and a natural beauty. I would love to associate with her.
• Isaac Mizrahi (and his dog, Harry, so he doesn’t have to leave early to walk him) - He is an adorable riot, a doll, and is a gay man who should be my friend! I think we’d get along with some of our similarities. Plus, I’ve got to speak with him about his not wearing socks!
• Marilyn Monroe - Talk about a real, buxom beauty. She deserves to come back to life. I’d get her to give great quotes for press, and we’d discuss the skinny ideal society has, today.
• Rebecca Taylor - Another designer I love partly for her personality (equally for the clothes), she is a happy, spirited soul. I’d love to hear her go on about rainbows and glitter. She would bring out the child in me.

The Food:

I believe in cocktail parties; if I must endure a party, it should be classy and I should dress to the nines (otherwise I’d like to leave at 9). I would serve sweet margaritas and mimosas, etc., lots of cheesy and chocolaty bites of hor’s duevres, honey-mustard salmon, rice and roasted carrots for the main course, then a dessert of chocolate silk pie with frothed hot cocoa. Wow.

My Attire:

And I would need appropriate dress. I can’t afford Chanel, so I’ll have to be excused on that. But I would have Isaac Mizrahi for Target’s Tulle Skirt altered to fit my short legs, and pair it with a flirty top from Rebecca Taylor’s Fall line.

I would like to be pleasantly surprised by what my guests wear.

The Party:

I’m not exactly a social expert or butterfly, but I think I’ve picked out a group that would mostly get along. I definitely picked people to get along with me, and not for glamour (although we’re all such pretty ladies). I want to have a good, Ella kind of time. I think we’d have a fascinating conversation lasting through the night. Of course, Isaac might get in trouble asking about unmentionables, and I hope he doesn’t poke or prod the two busty beauties. (No dresses with built-in support, ladies!) Le Sigh! It’s all in fun, why not have a little controversial conversation starters? I’m all about talking, and I think it would be a success.
