“font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana;”>Things fared much better when I left a trail of smoke and hit it down to Mike Shannon’s for 1st Fridays and FreeTime’s Glow party. Luckily for me, this was an event that I was gladly welcomed into! (who knew?!) A nice night was picked for this outside venture as everyone showed up with the brightest outfit they could muster. Neon translucent overhead lights with lit-up color-coated drinks were a nice touch. Although many of the ladies were lookin’ nice in their bold coloring choices, others needed to go back to the drawing board. One decided to take a cue from Elvira mistress of the dark and throw on a sheer black overcoat that seemed more appropriate for the bedroom than a night on the town. Another looked like she was auditioning for the Kinloch revival of Dreamgirls as she threw on a sparkling pink Supreme’s dress stolen right out of Mary Wilson’s closet. All in all, this was a nice affair to be had by all.
