50 Years Old Birthday Party Theme - Disco
About two weeks ago, I received a small package in the mail. Inside was disco ball ornament. I could see a line around the equator of the ball, so I pulled the hemispheres apart to see what was in it. Inside was an business card invitation from Lily . On it was printed, "Get ready to boogie" Below was the details of the party like: Location, date and time. Below was printed, "Please RSVP. Required: 70's style costumes (Platforms optional)." I could hardly wait. Every Friday when we were nineteen and twenty Lily and I went to all the disco clubs. I thought it was a terrific way to celebrate her fiftieth!

I went to my attic and took down the trunk where I kept some of my greatest disco days outfits. My favorite was a purple and pink chiffon body suit with ruffles down the front. It was very Donnie and Marie, but I couldn't fit in it to save my life. I had to take a trip to costume shop where I picked out something that fit much better. It was a silver and gold pantsuit with a white ruffled shirt underneath. I spent an hour teasing my hair and applying a ton of hairspray to get just the right look. I put on some powder blue eye shadow and put on a heavy application of black eye-liner . I think my outfit was somewhere in-between the late 70's and the early 80's, but I didn't think anyone would care.

Lily's answered the door in red satin bellbottoms and a black satin tie top with red sparkling platforms. I remembered the outfit. She looked fabulous, and looked like she hadn't gained an ounce since the seventies. I could just kill her! She loved the custom gift basket of 70's novelty items I presented to her.

The decorations inside the house really great. Lily had made ample room for the dance floor by moving out all of her furniture. On one was was a large cardboard "54" She had completely re-created Studio 54. Everyone was dressed to the nines and there were even a couple of drag queens putting on a show. One did a hilarious lip sync to, "I Will Survive". I took lots of pictures of him. The DJ played "YMCA", "Brick House" and many other favorite disco tunes. A spinning disco ball hung from the ceiling and the party bulbs Lily put in her track lighting, made the place crazy with colors.

Lily had set the food up on the counter between the dining room and kitchen. There were all kinds of finger foods: Buffalo wings, egg rolls, California rolls, tater tots, pizza rolls, and pig in a blanket. Lily's brother Tim had brought his bar from home and was mixing martinis, margaritas and Midori sours for everyone. He put an extra green olive on my toothpick because he knows they are my favorite.

Everyone danced and partied into the early hours of the morning. I can't remember when I had so much fun. When I turn fifty I want to throw a disco party. Maybe if I start using my treadmill I can slim down enough to fit into my old clothes again!
