Just came back from an Oscar Party in Ballard. Given that I've never met the hostess and knew only two people there, I didn't know what to expect. The invitation encouraged us to dress up and bring a dish inspired by one of the nominating movies (two examples were sushi for "Iwo Jima" and KFC for "Little Miss Sunshine"). I thought I'd just come with a bottle of wine and normal clothes, but who am I kidding...my competitive spirit got the best of me. I ended up making two types of tea sandwiches (smoked salmon and cucumber) in honor of "The Queen," and dressing up with my red high heels in deference to "The Devil Wears Prada." The first people I saw were all in jeans, so I was slightly alarmed, then I found the hostess dressed as though she were attending the Oscars. Whew!
Tiffany and Corey came as characters from "The Devil Wore Prada." Tiff was Miranda Priestly and when Merrill Streep lost to Helen Mirren for best actress, Tiff ran through the party saying that she was robbed. The party consensus agreed with her and she was allowed to hold a fake Oscar for the rest of the party. If there was a "best dressed" award for the party, it would definately go to Tiff.
