Willow Ball Dahling

Can it be possible..... that it's time once again for that grand event, a night to eclipse all other nights.........the Willow Ball?

Be still my heart. 


Yes. Raoul has asked me to be his date....he chose this dress especially for me. For some reason, he has a thing for a scallop-shell bodice and tiers of tulle. 

I have no idea why. But if I say no to him....

He flies into a rage

and then he sulks.

Oh Raoul, you are fantastico man candy. But I must say adieu.........your pouting and temper tantrums are much too much for me. I've decided instead that I want to wear something else........

Now we're talkin'. This dress will be perfect for my preferred date of choice on this night of all nights........he's still man candy, but he can teach me a thing or two that you can't Raoul.....


Meet my new date: Antonio Ereditato, head of the OPERA (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus) Program at CERN.

You know, those folks who smash particles in an accelerator? 


Oh Antonio - I love it when you do that...


Well, this guy promised he would explain to me how a couple of neutrinos managed to make their way from Switzerland to Gran Sasso, Italy, faster than the speed of light! Take that, Raoul! 

However, if Antonio falls for my *twin* Robin's charms, as he always does (she loves OPERA after all), I'll need consoling....

 Meet me on the veranda for one of our esteemed hostess' famous Last Word cocktails

Yes, I too can sometimes act like a crazed neutrino Raoul... 

but you know you love it

just please...

 try not to pull your hair out dahling

it's only a party...
