2006 Fancy Schmancy
Jingle Ball
Wow, our escorts were such
great sports - they kept up with us all night, playing Red Hat Games! |
|
|
|
|
|
Look! A whole kazoodle of Red
Hatters - aren't they a beautiful sight!
I took my mom to lunch in Tehachapi for her 89th birthday and we
beheld this beautiful sight...
This photo is of a group of Red Hatters from Bear Valley Springs - aren't
they gorgeous?
And they were so sweet - they sang happy birthday to my mom! |

2006 Bodfish Campout and Slumber Party
We had such a great time; we had lunch at the Pizza
Factory, went antiquing in the rain, found an ice cream store,
played a rousing game of Jacks, played "Mad Gab", had a "Stick Cotton-balls
on your Face with Vaseline" contest,
a "Chicken/Rooster find the Corn" game (ask to see the video - you will
laugh your #$%&* off!).
Each year we think it's the best, but this year was truly awe-inspiring.
A huge THANK YOU to our fab-yoo-lous hostess, Princess Nancypants! |

We played Catch Phrase and Gossip, and a
wild round of Sound & the Fury
We munched on Leprechaun balls, and Dirty Leprechaun balls, and Green Giggle
Juice, and
Shamrock Cake and Cupcakes, and a Poke Cake - YUM!
You can see the results of the sugar high below...

Chick Flick 2/16/06
What more could a girl want on a
cold Thursday night?
A chick flick, chocolate, ice cream, margaritas, balloons, kazoos, and a
bunch of silly like-minded girlfriends.
It's amazing how much fun
we can have with nothing but a couple of balloons to play with!

Game Night 1/19/06
Our hostess Princess Mo of Mejico
served us Quesadillas and home-made cheesecake and margaritas.
Princess Dinkie Pinkie brought a lovely chocolate cake in the shape and
color of a red hat in honor of our 4 birthday girls.
What a rowdy night - our throats are sore from laughing and poor Kenny (Mo's
hubby) was afraid to come out of his room!
He had NO idea 10 women could be so loud! Here's photos for your amusement
(and jealousy if you missed it!)
The birthday girls - Debbie, Mo, Cianne, and Rosa, pose pretty for the
camera.

Queen's Court Luncheon
I was invited to a luncheon
Saturday at the Doubletree Hotel for all of the Red Hat Society Queens of
Bakersfield.
Sadly, of the 44 chapters only 9 of us showed up, (plus two Vice-Queens),
but a good time was had by all. See group photo below:

2nd Annual Foo-Foo Fling
Christmas Party
The Foo-Foo was flung far and wide
as we shared ribbons and rhinestones and ruffles and such to make our
Christmas hats. Princess Mo of Mejico actually put a little bit of bling on
a hat (faint!), and our newest little Princess Dinkie Pinkie made a gorgeous
new pink and lavender chapeau with the assistance of her Queen. Princess
D'Love hostessed us in her beautiful new home, and made an adorable little
pixie elf of a Diva in her new Christmas Hat. We had presents galore and
chocolate dipped strawberries, cookies, candies, nuts (in addition to us, of
course) and of course a little vino to wash it all down. Enjoy the
photos...we missed you and hope you can feel a little bit like you were
there by viewing our fun.

Pismo Pearls 2nd Annual
RHS Ball
We had 6 couples make it this
year, and we put on the entertainment too! We somehow (I am a VERY
persuasive Queen!) convinced our menfolk that it would be a hoot if they
would dress up as red hatters. Well, they were the HIT of the evening! We
did a comical Can-Can routine, but our fellas (Princess Testosteroni and
the Jockettes) stole the show. Below, in left to right order, we have
Her Ladyship Machoetta-Come & Getta, Countess Masculina Devina, The Baroness
of all Things Buff (aka: Princess Banana-head), and last but certainly not
least, Princess Testosteroni, herself!
Below we have Princess
Dinkie-Pinkie, Queen Sissy La-La, Princess Boogie-Woogie of Company B,
and Princess Chi-Chi Mama in our Glamorous Can-Can attire.
 
Below is a little taste of our
Can-Can routine. We were Tres Chic! Ooh La-La!!!
And below is our adorable Princess Testosteroni and the
Jockette's!
And then the lovely side - weren't we pretty couples?

2nd Annual Kamikaze
Campout
You will only get to see a couple of photos of
this event, as I was threatened with mayhem and death if I posted most of
them. Sorry - but you'll just have to trust me on this, the Bodfish
Whipped Cream War of '05 was a sight to behold,
as was the Esther Williams Memorial Hot Tub Ballet and the near
drownings from the water fight.
Not to mention the exuberant "Can-Can" in red ruffled petticoats over our
clothes as we practiced on the front porch,
and the mass mental confusion of the "What's That?" game... whewie we had a
great time!
(and of course there was SHOPPING!!!!)
