Faire Ball!
Jan. 5th, 2013 06:21 pmLavender, thank you so very much for hosting the pre-Ball party this evening! It was wonderful to get to chat and catch up, and then coif ourselves properly and add charms to our dress robes! Please thank your Mother for the refreshments, as well; it was all so very lovely.
The decorations this year are outstanding. But then again, they are every year - it's to be expected by now! The Tapestries are gorgeous, with rich, jewel-tone colours; certainly authentic, I'd say, and the flower arrangements smell divine. There's a certain Mediterranean warmth in the air that evokes the Italian Renaissance - or what I imagine the Renaissance might have been like, anyway.
They'll be starting with the Kings and Queens dance soon, so if you haven't arrived yet you should do within the next half-hour.
Perhaps this would be a good place to fill our dance cards? It's so crowded that it's sure to be difficult to find one another in the throng. What do you all say?
Celebriamo gli amici!

Date: 2013-01-06 02:06 am (UTC)Though I had planned to stick with my escort tonight, if you don't mind. It's been a long weekend, and my feet are hardly in tip-top form. Fortunately, I think Pansy will forgive me a few missteps.
Looking forward to watching you on the floor, though.

Oh, and it's Tamblyn, with his brother! I'm going to go say hello. (To Tamblyn, that is, not Stretton or either Frobisher!)
