I’m not sure what was more frightening, a blacked up white guy, or Charlotte New dressed as Dolly Parton complete with collagen lips. When Smiles announced the theme of her 24th Birthday Party as all things American I’m sure even she underestimated the lengths to which the Chi massive would go…
We had Mini Mouse, Zorro, Spiderman, The A-Team, Stepford Wives, Cowboys, people in fat suits (dreadfully sorry to any Americans reading this) and an assortment of soldiers, political figures and of course the ultimate cow girl herself! Smiles looked unnervingly natural in her chaps, cowgirl boots, hat and plaid shirt. Almost like she was born to it.
The Vestry staff, who all adore Smiles, gave her a free dinner, free venue for the party, a free night in there most luxurious bedroom (it had a Jacuzzi!), breakfast the morning after and joined in the festivities dressed as bunny girls. It made for excessive spoiling of Smiles, a more deserving soul there has never been, and perfect party atmosphere. Much dancing, laughing and impersonating was enjoyed by all. Bravo everyone, you proved once more that no one parties like us and seeing how Smiles has pulled two of the best Birthday parties in Chi history the pressures on and bets are flooding in for next years theme. It’ll be 25 then love so we better think of a good one. xc
