Round One: Annual Christmas Smackdown

A party kicks off the holiday season.

Fabrizio is a godsend, and helped me with my make-up.



The boys came by -- Banjo, Ron, Kenny Mac, and Bandit.



The girls were almost ready. (Paula was all dramatic about something or other.)



Dez's Barry wanted to join us, but he was working.



The first stop was Kev's. He knows how to please the ladies.



We tried to text Laurie and Jon, but they were otherwise engaged.



Dez brought some hors d'œuvres.




Margaret killed herself making the sausage and bacon platter.



We heard Terry whisper (when Marion was in the next room), "So many chicks, so little time..." DB said amen to that.



And we've got three parties to go! Oh yes, I've got every one of you. Carolynn, Marjie, Susan, Kathy ...

Since you're in the neighborhood, visit my new piece on Patch.

Terry B, Blue Kitchen said...

Ahhh, pay no attention to me. That's just the Harvey Wallbangers talking. But I do look like a chick magnet in this cool turtleneck and my striped bell bottoms, don't I?

I'm all about the burnished gold Cool Suit.

Bellis said...

I bet Levi's have tried to withdraw all copies of that photo. Did they ever make pants that awful? With a girl between the legs?!!! The pig one wouldn't go down well nowadays either (it made me feel sick), not to mention what Laurie and Jon were up to (naughty!). Where do you find them?

Desiree said...

This is frickin' amaaazing. And even Barry gets a shout out!

Trish said...

soo...wait...lemme go get some of the Glenlivet before I start...this is too funny...I need a good laugh today!

you need to look like a freak to professionally apply makeup? No WONDER I've always had trouble!

Burton suit takes the heat off? Takes the "cool" off you too!

Don't pay more? What, is THAT why Brit didn't wear underware?

Keeping up with Commodore...uh, now where DID I leave my luggable Commodore? oh right, out of biz...

Burgundy...is it me or does it look like he's dropping a latke on her plate...from the BBQ?

Laurie, Jon...I uhm...didn't know...I'll just leave you two alone! or sell tickets!

we know the true ID of the female version of Chuckie now!

Hari Kari for pork products, what WILL the rabbis think of next?

So...the green pants get a girl between your legs, the blue pants, not so much?

lol...thanks for the morning laugh K! If I'da known the parties would be this fun, I'd stop by more often!

Petrea said...

Mmph. I can't...move...or breathe. But I look good.

Mister Earl said...

You look good, Petrea, but you are the shortest!

Although I love a good smackdown, I'm a bit punch drunk at the moment.

Brenda's Arizona said...

Terrific party, Karin!

Marion said...

Chicks? Like these ladies?

Laurie said...

I'm screaming with laughter. Damn this is hilarious. And hey, stop spying on jon and me.

altadenahiker said...

Oh, look at Marion's link, it's positively gruesome.

Banjo said...

Thanks for the invitation!

Where in the world do you find this stuff? Weird and hilarious--though the pig's self-slaughter is . . . so very French? And I was gonna have a hot dog.

Jean Spitzer said...

Do you use the Max Factor micrometer every time you go out? Or just save it for the screen?

Looks like the guys had a better time of it, in the old adverts.

Pasadena Adjacent said...

If Fabrizio would like to unload his Micro Meter for a reasonable price, I have a glass head filled with marbles that I think it would fit over nicely.

Ken Mac said...

wow, call me down for the count! Karin, you must to Rio. most beautiful place in the world...

Marjie said...

I'm diggin' these friends. Can't wait to see what I look like when I'm in Altadena.

dbdubya said...

Hallelujah!!!

When and where is the party??? I'm packing the car and ready to go.

Margaret said...

It was a tragic ending for me, and leaving the children motherless was heartbreaking. But at least I didn't make a pig of myself.

Paula said...

Damn, I'm hot! And us girls, if we have nothing else going on, we've got the dramz!!

Susan Campisi said...

Can I borrow your "Beauty Micrometer" this weekend? I want to make sure I look my best for the boys in the Burton Cool Suits. So HOT!

Trish said...

woohoo...good news...I may actually be IN Altadena in a month or so...might just have to cruise on up and see if these...uh...gifts...ahem... are still working then! seriously tho, I'll leave Laurie and Jon to it...I mean, I knew weird stuff happens in SoPas...I grew up there but...;-)

Mister Earl said...

Remind me where you live, Trish?

TheChieftess said...

Hey DB!!! "Party! Party! Party!" Let's go!!!

altadenahiker said...

Oh, I've something very special coming your way, Kathy. Coming everyone's way. Think knitted vests, for example...

Miss Janey said...

Its all good fun til someone starts dancing under a lampshade.

Paula said...

Gosh, Margaret, I knew you liked bacon...

Laurie said...

Don't believe Karin when she promises gifts. I'm still waiting for my hand-shaped ashtray/paperclip holder. Has it shown up? Noooooooooo.

Back to being spanked.

Virginia said...

You could poke somebody's eye out with those brassieres!!!! These are so good. MORE MORE!!!

Amy said...

Oh, that pig. I think the only way the post could be better is to put the pig in a bullet bra.

Thank you for making me laugh. :)
