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.

"But aren't you here for the full experience?"
Stealthily, she sidles around the marble island and reaches for a green bottle, trying to obfuscate the drink creation process behind other bottles.

"Let's take a chance, shall we?"
And he can just sleep off a hangover at the bar.

"Red Bull and jager. Some people really like it."
Re: Arrivals
But never let it be said he doesn't accept a challenge.
"Not bad."
Re: Arrivals
"Glad you approve."
Re: Arrivals
"I will let you greet the other guests. Save a dance for me?"
Re: Arrivals
"You know it. Enjoy the party, sugar."
She sweeps off.
