Darlings, you have no idea the amount of preparation involved to get Kevin and I to the Seasonal Ball at Willow Manor http://willowmanor.blogspot.com/ Luckily I have a wonderful assistant in Roxanne, bless herTakes things totally under control, so that all I have to concern myself with is looking divine.
It was most unfortunate that Harry gave notice a while ago. Left me without a limmo driver for tonight, so for the past couple of days Clive has been flat-out interviewing potential candidates...and the position has now been filled. Must say I was pleased with the earlier run with the new driver over to Willow's this afternoon to drop off some things. The orchestra was just vacating the drawing room after practicing the opening number with that wonderful baritone BrynTerfel and who should I see sliding onto the vacated piano stool but Johnny Depp. "Don't tell Willow I'm here yet- have to go back into town, then I intend to return with " the grand entrance." he confided. Can't wait!Hurrying back home it occurred to me that Kevin should have arrived. Perhaps Charlie had forgotten to pick him up from the airfield, and overlooked the instructions for champagne on arrival. Hurrying inside, should have realized Charlie would have it all covered. That lad never forgets anything. Problem Amanda? Mr. Costner is resting by the pool but has bought the wrong jacket. You think it's wrong, he doesn't. Let's have a look at that on your phone. Doesn't look happy does he! No I don't like it either. Has he staff with him? Andrew? Get Andrew to arrange a black formal jacket...and tell him to hurry...
He better get it right. Time's getting away...
Now where is Kevin? Can I see him from the balcony? Aaah, there he is
down by the pool. Ah, the staff will get him organized. A
little wave - see you soon I have things to attend to...
Yes, pleased with that.Tonight will be...just...
...wonderful

Hello Pam,

How nice to bump into you. I was mortified when I heard about Miss Piggy's stunt at the buffet but she does it with such a disarming smile .. and that steely glint in her eye! I'm glad Kevin took it in good part. I see how disgruntled he can look when things don't please him!

BTW, your gown looks fabulous!

Barry said...

Please save me spot on your dance card (perhaps while Kevin is busy admiring his own reflection in the pool)!

Elenka said...

You need a vacation, Pam. :-)

Poetikat said...

Ooh yes! He is a dish! (poor jacket choice or no.) Now I just can't get that "No Way Out" image out of my head. If only I could black out Sean Young's face.
Save a dance for me Kev!
Come by the divan for a chat, Pam. I'm sure we'd have loads to talk about. (Watch out for TFE; his lemon socks are just blinding!)

Oh you naughty minx, I'm remebering the opening scenes from one of Kev's early movies when he took a little "ride" in a limo.
Love the dress btw.

Deb Shucka said...

So much fun. Love the dress, the story and the possibilities.

Johnny was here ahead of time at the manor piano, and I didn't know??! Oh, drat. I would have loved to have sat beside him on the piano bench. We could have played chopsticks together. Sigh.

willow said...

Oh, I forgot to ask for a dance with Kevin. He's got that sweet "Message in a Bottle" face on tonight.

Blue Sky Dreaming said...

Thank goodness for a good staff! Your dress is to die for and Kevin in the right jacket is to die for as well. I do hope for a whirl on the dance floor with your charming date!

Jocelyn said...

Although you are always a lovely thing, your look this evening has been upped...perhaps you're wearing a body-molding pair of SPANX under the gown?

B'ville Observer said...

Pam,

Your dress is gorgeous. Your date isn't hard on the eyes either. How about you take a dance with Antonio and I'll take twirl with Kevin.

Barbara Martin said...

Pam, you have such a creative edge! The dress is gorgeous and what an interesting deep thinker you've chosen. That smile of his would melt butter. Come on over and try my marble floor with Prince Charming.

Lynette said...

What a lovely gown, and the colour, so rich! And your escort is simply dashing. :)

Baino said...

Haha . . scrubs up pretty well the old Kev! Lovely expose daahlink! The night was a blur . . I'm visiting now to see what I missed! I think I'm now a little over sharing Mr Depp . . he's been around the block just one time too many!

Fire Byrd said...

Such fun for all, beautiful clothes charming escorts, cold champagne, sparkling fairy lights, wonderful supper room, yep you had it all.Now reality will set in and the bathroom will need cleaning!

Pam, I almost asked Kevin myself, but I had my hands pretty full with Jon Madmen, Clive O. & Dr. McDreamy! But Kevin is scrumptious, I know he would have been the perfect companion once you were able to tear him away from his own reflection! Your dress was amazing, what a find.
