the dinner party
It's hard as hell to impress dinner guests in this hi-tech, fast-forward era. That's why you have me, the Martha Stewart of kitsch.
Before even setting the table, make sure you're worth showing up for, even if pressed for time. After the hired help have done their thing, it's important to then create an ambiance with the right lighting. Feeling ready for anything? Guests arriving? Time to mobilize the chef, waiter and entertainment and serve dinner. Just remember: the location can make or break your reputation. The skies of New Orleans during hurricane season (or Baghdad at any time) is a definite 'don't.'
As the
party starts to wind down and boredom starts setting in you're going to need something even more outrageously nouveau to keep the attention and therefore respect of your guests. Time to win friends and influence people with the newest, most mind-boggling idea yet: lo-tech entertainment.
Party's over and you still have to get up for work the next day, in spite of the hangover? Don't wash
that dirty wine glass, extend the spirit of DIY and use it.
The challenge now is to top this one the next time you have a few friends over for a meal.
