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 rolls his eyes.
Re: Dance Floor
"If you're going to persist in talking to me, you might as well go ahead and tell me what you did with the mistletoe."
Re: Dance Floor
You know. The rafter directly over Kali's head.
Re: Dance Floor
Kali doesn't even glance up.
The mistletoe bursts into flame, and sifts down as ashes.
Re: Dance Floor
He knows it's going to be totally lost on her, but he can't help himself.
Re: Dance Floor
Still calmly: "Are you done?"
Re: Dance Floor
He snaps his fingers: three more mistletoe plants appear on the charred rafters, each one wearing a tiny mistletoe-sized Santa hat. In harmony -- squeaky, squeaky chipmunk harmony -- they burst into "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer."
(And this time, they're fireproof.)
"Now I'm done," he says cheerily, lifting his glass in a toast. "Happy winter, darling."
With that, he sweeps onward to find someone else to pester.
FOR NOW.Re: Dance Floor
(At least he doesn't seem to have guessed that she knows.)
Somebody should probably tell 'Dite about the new mistletoes before they get into the punch.
