holiday party post
Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.
The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.
There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.
Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:
1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.
And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.
That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

He's kind of fond of brand new experiences...

"It's not that you aren't all adorable. But we need to lady up this gender ratio."

"I'm going to guess no," she says.
Louder, and charming-er, "You guys wanna learn a dance?"

"I'll have you know that not only can I do this dance, but I can do it in heels. Thankyouverymuch."
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
"Here-- have mine!"
And proceeds to kick off her sparkly gold pumps.
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
Well fine.
Bring it.
Bring it, along with your A game, because you're going to need it.
"Challenge accepted."
As she removes her shoes, Mike is both toeing his way out of his along with slipping out of his suit coat, tossing it to the side, and rolling his sleeves up.
The heels, it is important to point out, some how magically shift to fit him perfectly by the time he gets them on.
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
Aphrodite puts her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh.
This is completely why she throws parties.
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
He takes a couple of experimental steps in the shoes to get his bearings, but then turns his attention to the other guys standing off to the sides of the dance floor.
"Come on guys, huddle up. We are going to rock this song hard and put it away wet."
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
Where did Carmela come from?
Does it matter?
NOPE. Because she is taking this dance floor and swinging her hips like there's no tomorrow.
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
Yes, of course Aphrodite knows the dance.
Who do you think she is?
Re: ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!~
"Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh..."
