If you look to the right at my special list I created, you will see all the famous people attending today's soiree. Please go and see them and leave a comment about how Fab U Lous they look. Do you have any idea how hard it is to squeeze into these size 0 dresses when you are a tad bit bigger? Well believe me, it isn't easy to be this beautiful. It takes a village. So go, tell them how much you appreciate their beauty and their sense of humor. I know I am.
The band, Elvis of course, will be getting ready to kick off just as soon as everyone arrives. In the meantime, click my music list for some of my favorites. One just cannot get in the right party frame of mind without music. Go, enjoy!
Feel free to dance the night away. Feel like dancing in bare feet? Be my guest. I want you to have a wonderful time and as long as all you take off are your shoes, we will get along just fine!
My own personal chef(all us big time socialite types have one of these, doncha know?) will be on hand all day and night to whip up whatever you feel like indulging in. Again, I feel the need to remind some of you to keep it clean. We run a high class joint here!
A little caviar for noshing. No expense has been spared here. Nothing but the best for my friends. And you know what they say about caviar? YUCK!!!!!
For some of my friends in the know, I've included Cat Daddy's favorite.....HANGDOWN!
As a reminder of what my giveaway is for commenting....take a look! I picked 7 of my favorite things (Helen Louise added Elvis, of course) to reward of you for reading and laughing and crying with me. (Before you ask-no, the props are not part of the giveaway!) Y'all are just the greatest!
I know y'all are being polite at looking at these items, when all you really care about winning is...........
THIS!!!!! Today may be Friday the 13th, but tonight at midnight it will be one of y'alls' lucky day. I do so want to thank Laurie for making this beautiful piece complete with a cherub just in time for Valentine's Day.
So what do you think so far? Pretty cool, right? Just remember to leave a comment before midnight tonight for your last chance to win. The winner will be announced tomorrow. Oh my goodness! Is that the vacuum cleaner and mop left out? It is so hard to find good help these days! Fifi, come here at once!
And speaking of good help, how do you like the venue I chose? I would like to thank Chez Friz for all their help in getting me ready today. A girl would just be lost without her diamonds and wonderful friends. Don't you agree?
I'm trying to decide if the diamond necklace on my head is too much. What do y'all think. Can a star, I mean humble girl from Texas, ever wear too many rhinestones, I mean diamonds? I know Mother. Put it all on and take one piece off.
I'm pretty sure it is 12:00 somewhere so I think I'll have Jeeves shake me a cold one. Can I have him fix you one as well? No, water with lemon is all you will be having? Suit yourself, but I deserve one! Do not raise that eyebrow at me or I'll have the butler show you to the door.
I would like for all of you to join me in a toast. Please raise your glasses to all the crazy and fun people out there who love to blog. I've said it before and I'll say it again...it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Here's to you, my beautiful friends and thanks for being who you are. You are each unique, wonderful, hilarious, quirky, madcap, silly, beautiful and creative individuals(choose the ones that best describes you) and I'm crazy about you!
I wonder what is keeping Harry? I expected him hours ago. I do so hope his flight wasn't delayed. Well, while we are waiting I'll let y'all know who I am lending Cat Daddy to. The lucky lady who will be Queen For A Day with C.D. as her escort, with the winning bid of a pecan pie no less, will be Laurie of 2 Chippys. No, there was no fix and the necklace had nothing to do with her winning. Pull those claws back in ladies. She came in with the last bid and that is that. No hard feelings. Smile pretty and congratulate her. Just remember next time I decide to auction him off, think BIG!!! He don't come cheap.(I do, but not him!)
Laurie, he will be racing over to pick you up just as soon as I hose him off. I'll be sure to have him cleaned and pressed just for you. There are a few rules as to what you can and CANNOT do with him, but we will discuss those privately.
I think y'all will love this news flash. Helen Louise has decided to have V.J. escort her today instead of Elvis. Isn't that sweet. I will alaways love you Mother and Daddy! I'll be doing a birthday post on the 19th all about my sweet mother, but she said she didn't want that to get in the way of today merrymaking. Today she is the Queen Mother of us all and out to make history!!! Me? I'm all about headlines. Bad publicity is still publicity!
She and I decided to go with petit fours instead of birthday cake today. So much more Ooh La La, don't you think? Please, help yourself. They are, of course, sugar free she said with a slight smirk. I swear up and down, there really are no calories hidden in this photo (although I have been known to gain weight just by breathing sugar), but I digress. Who's in charge of keeping me on track?
Oh wait....I think I hear Harry singing as he's coming up the sidewalk. I better slip my shoes on and get ready to start visiting all the wonderful girls who have joined me today.
Harry darling, you ran all the way from the Big Easy just to see little ol' me? You sweet, sweet man. Leave me a comment girls and I just might let you dance with him. Remember, I said might.
We are heading out the door now and I suggest you do the same, right after you leave me your calling card below. Be sure to drop in on my guests at the right and leave your calling card with them as well. Enjoy the music, food, schmoozing and have a wonderful time. Photo ops will be available later. Thank you for coming. I do love a party!

What!! I'm the first to comment. Am I too early for this lovely party? Well I guess that means I get all the booze and the food and everyone else will just be out of luck? I'm kidding, but I always hated arriving first.
Love your sense of humor and I'm glad you received great bids for your hubby. You sound fab together.
Happy to be part of your party.
Love Claudie
So much to say...it's a spectacular event! Personally I think a girl can never have or wear too many diamonds. After all, they are a girl's best friend. The petit four ( I still want to know what this name means?) are perfect and dainty and extravagant. Your dress - to die for darling.
I'll have to take off my shoes eventually, but I promise nothing else will come off. Please make sure your photographer gets a picture of me on the red carpet.
Oh, and one last thing...I didn't know vehicles came in that shade of pink! Wherever did you find it?
-FringeGirl
I was going to throw down a final bid for CD, but Laurie beat me to it! Oh, well, all I had was a can of ravioli anyway. Guess pecan pie trumps that! Since CD is taken, I'll have to find another date! Hope I can on short notice. Hmmm...y'all don't mind shorter, furry men, do you? I've got an idea...
Thank goodness you posted a pic of the pink car. My tummy was getting a little upset with party jitters but that settled it right down.
My date George and I are drenched in fur, diamonds, and cowboy attire so we're ready for the drinkin', gamblin', and socializin'! Let's party!
The Texas Woman
WOW! What a fun post to read! And with so many great pictures too!
Oh you do through the best parties. I loved this post, must be my favorite one of many that you've written. My friend, again...you should be a writer, you're a natural born one! So excited to attend and you will outshine us all! Congrats to Laurie and was CD running to greet her, how sweet.
WooHoo! Fab party!! Talk about swag...boy you've got it girl! Great giveaways:) I must say Friday the 13th has always been a lucky day for me...I know you wouldn't want to break my streak;}
Oh...to drink? I'll have a gin and tonic please. Thanks. And send some of those petit fours this way...I seem to looking amazingly thin today?!
Loving listening to Harry sing! What a sweetie. And you do look just Fab U Lous!! Thanks again so much for inviting us;) Off to mingle....
Wow! What a party! Congratulations on 100. What a great way to celebrate. Hope your weekend is fab!
Hugs,
lisa
What a wonderful party! Veronica is beautiful. I love the diamonds on her forehead! A girl can never have on too many diamonds! And I must say, your date is looking very dashing! I'll have one of the petit fours, too. Yum! And a Vanilla Coke Zero! Thanks for a fantastic party!
And congratulations on 100!
Shannon

Hey Debbie~
Found you through Pam and just wanted to let you know that your post(s) are hilarious and very much enjoyed.
Sounds like a ritzy party...no trash there. But what happens there stays there right????
So if you say so, I'm in...
{I don't want to ruin my pristine vintage reputation!}
I'll be attending under the alias of Jill ~ Harry's wife. You can't mistake me for someone else...you may have seen me in Victoria's Secret once or twice.
I'll be coming in from Louisiana, accent and all and if you're still not sure of who I am, you will certainly HEAR me.
But please until then, save some champagne (& some Harry) for me. okay?
Let's have some fun and thanks for hosting the event of the year!
jodie
everything vintage
Diamonds are a girls best friend...and I'm proud and honored to call you my Friend!!! Congrats on your 100th post and may all your dreams and wishes come true. You're the best Miss Debbie! I'm ready to PARTY!!!

Great party. Everyone looks divine. I can't believe whatshername wore the same dress again. But why am I surprised. You loook so wonderful. This is great....I really shouldn't drink anymore...but what the hey. Oh...pick me.. I want that necklace. Us Houston gals look good in that stuff.
Congratulations on your 100th!! :)
Thanks for the lovely party♥
Happy Valentine's weekend too♥
Woops Debbie, Too mony martunis I guess, I thought the party posts were for tomorrow. I had mine scheduled for 12:05 tonite. Duh, I would have missed the whole dang thing. Tell Cat Daddy and Harry to save a dance for me. I am posting right now!
Fashionably late. That's us! The girls have dressed up to be escorted by Snakelover. Love the music. Love the partiers. Good times. Thanks for inviting us. Congrats on 100. Be sure those ruby reds pick my name, my friend. I NEED that bling! ~Mindy
Okay Deb, I am dressed and ready to party. Let me pour myself a little sumthin sumthin and go visiting with the all the celebs in attendance. You are Fab U Lous! Pam
Girl, girl, girl...... You out did yourself this time and might I say you look FAB U LOUS, And a girl can never wear to much bling. You really know how to throw a party. Wait, who is that riding CD, he's my date, here comes the cat fight!!!!! Lauri@chippys
Darlin'---
You look just DEEE---VIIIII-NNNN-E!
I am running a bit behind scehdule, but gettin' ready to put on those boot scootin' boots and head your way.
Have one of them moonshine jugs ready (oops...forgot this is about style) I mean have one of them champagne pretties ready and waiting! xo....deb
XXOO LOVE YOUR BLOG...it's always a blast!
No, no, no, unfortunately, I cannot fit into the little dress when I was 2 or the zebra pants size 8, It was 10 years ago when I wore those. What I will be wearing now looks more like a tent. But, we are hoping I look like that in time for the wedding.......fingers crossed. Lauri
Hey Girl, I got my boots on (all shined and everything), my party dress, and a little bling. Ready to dance the night away. Thanks sooooooooooooooooo much for the invite! XOXO, Patricia
What a great party, Deb, I would love to join but I have a memorial to go to.... I guess I will party through all of the guests!!!! Have fun!
Isabel
Congrats on your 100th post and Happy Birthday to your belated mother. You make blogging fun! Deb, you do throw the swankiest parties in blogland, my dear! Love the caviar. "Big Mama" has her dancing shoes on but no date, so watch out ladies...
Congrats on your 100th post! Nobody does a party like TNT. Plan on coming...just might be a little late!
marcie
I have every intention of attending!
I'm even going to break down and pull out the iron and press a shirt. Really.
That's commitment...trust me!
Tristan
... I already forgot my manners - my mother would smack my hand!
Congratulations on your 100th!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY/100th POST! Thanks for throwing such a fun party. I'm running a bit late, but I'm layering on my bling now and I'll be there in a flash! I'm bummed that I didn't win the date with Cat Daddy, but maybe that 'Chippy girl' will share..... I couldn't top the pecan pie bid! Save some champagne for me.... Maggie
Woo hoo! I'm having a blast! Talk about A-list! They are ALL here! So...are you kicking us all out at midnight? And if I am still up at 12:05am, will I see a blog concerning those red nails picking my name? You, my dear, do look mah-ve-lous! ~Mindy Sue (I use my middle name when I'm tipsy, don't ya know???)
Happy 100th Deb!! You're the best and have I told you how much I so enjoy reading your posts! Seriously, you have an amazing gift with your creative, witty writing that makes us laugh. Okay...on my way! Lipstick, martini in waiting and yes my big sexy hair spray is in hand! I've got my party on!!
Congrats Deb! Happy 100th! Loves to you and Cat Daddy!
Has anyone seen Cat Daddy I seem to have lost him.......Debs gonna kill me!!!!!Lauri@chippys
The lady from the Veranda was snooping around Cat Daddy awhile ago. She said something about you having so much to drink, you wouldn't miss him, Lauri. hmm
Deb, I am adding pics as the night goes on. The longhorn was a great idea! David just left for a ride.
~Mindy
WHAT??? Did Lauri misplace Cat Daddy? Here...Have another drink!!
Where's Theresa from Garden Antqs? Has anyone seen her?
SO!! Theresa and Cat Daddy are BOTH missing?? Hmmmmmmm......
WheRes Dat Caddy???? LaUriiii@chipppppppyyyys
This party is getting a little out of hand! Now, that's my kind of party! Keep passing around that champagne! Theresa was conveniently locked in the closet with my furry date! Cat Daddy is with me! But don't worry, Deb, I'll have him back by midnight! He's very particular about his beauty rest! :) And I wouldn't want to see you turn into a...what was that word you used...a witch? Or something that sounds like witch? :)
Okay!!!!! I'll do you one better oh Trashy one and join you in this mess, if you will pull a name out of the hat for the best costume I will send them a Junk Necklace too!!!! And that is for anyone who gets the picture on their blog before Midnight. Just let me know where to send the bling. And get me another G and T. Cheers, Lauri@chippys
Not me Amy...HIM! He can be such a girl somethngsssssssss, I mean sometimes. Focus, Debbie, focus. I told T to hurry up and get here and to bring a whip and chair to get y'all into line. This is supposed to be a formal occasion, you wild women of Borneo! Somebody get Laurie a dring for gosh sake! Cat Daddy had to go to the little boys room...something about nature and a calling of the wild or something like that.
Lauri, you are too generous! My date (Tanner) is so excited to get his hands on that "treat." I told him that if he won, I would trade the necklace for a rawhide bone. He agreed! Men...so easily distracted by food!
Do I know how to pick friends or what? Everybody yell WHAT!!! I'm still going to add my surprise too. This will be the party to set the bar. Speaking of bars, I've got to go and fix Laurie a G&T. With a twist, m'dear? Tn'T
You totally rock, Lauri! Wanna play pool? Snakelover just snapped a shot of me and the green felt. ~Mindy
Hey, youse guys didya know cAt diDDy ilkes dkar cloests? Ohhh, i'vehad too much ta drink I feel sick where's theeeeeee baaathrrroooommm

Cher, did you have a lottle of biquor say P.D.E. hid out in that closet. I hate to tell you this girl, that wasn't C.D. Elvis is missing now!
Did somebody say pool? Ok...picture posted. I'm in! Swimming pool, that is! ~Mindy
Playing in the pool? Is everybody going to go skinny dipping now?? Woo Hoo!!
Hey Party Girl , I'm Finally Home - are you still dancing the night away? Isn't my date cute - its my older ( only by 363 days !) brother. Poor mom , she had her hands full. I'm off to see you you Party Girls left me anything good to eat. Did someone say cake? :0)
Why is Harry looking at me like that? You only have eyes for ME, Harry? I think he's interested! Do you like to swim, Harry? Or do you prefer the hot tub?
Harry and Elvis came together in the 55 Chevy parked out front. Have you seen it? I just posted a picture! (I don't know who much longer I can do this! haha) ~Mindy
I'm gettin in the pool too, if I can find it.....Lauri@whatever
Amy, do not make me take my earrings off! I'm standing right behind you. I can forget to put your names in the bucket AND the hat. We don't switch dates until I say switch! Speaking of switches, where did Cher stumble off to? Look girls, a new man! SWITCH! Here Tanner, good boy!
What's that you say Harry? You didn't bring a swim suit?? NO PROBLEM!!
Who much longer are you planning on do, Mindy?
Maggie, did I just see Harry snap your garter?
or how..how! Typo, I assure you!
A new nam? wHere? wHo felt iMndy Up?
hTe Xetas Owman
Sounds like everyone's had a little too much to drink! Wait for me to catch up...
Isn't he a good kisser, Deb? Harry isn't too bad either! But Tanner is the best snuggler! But Harry can croon like nobody else. It's a toss-up! By the way, who has Cat Daddy? Cher?
You look fabulous, darling! Diamonds are a Deb's best friend. I raise my glass to you.
iS iT imdnigthyet?
hTe Xetas Owman
Deb~Congratulations on your 100th post! I'm new to the blog world so your party is the perfect opportunity for me to meet the best of the best! Havin' a great time!

Donna
It can't be midnight yet -- I haven't won the necklace!!!!
Did y'all see FringeGirls shoes? To die for! ~Mindy
Can somebody pass Cat Daddy, I mean the liquor.
Wheres the pool.......
Lauri
I bet Tanner can howl with the best of 'em. OK ladies, I'm gonna run and check on my guest. I won't be gone long. Y'all try to behave until I get back. Yes, Cher...it's midnight. Time for you to go nite-nite! Deb
Will someone please tell The Texas Woman that it's midnight alright!
eSe em? CDdrank outttt of em.
hTe Xetas Owman

hTe Xetas Owman
OH my goodness! Everyone go over to Snakelover's blog! He just posted up a Margarita recipe. Good stuff! Cher, stay away. I don't know who gave you booze, but you don't drink, silly woman! ~Mindy
Very cool, Cher! Wait...are you sure you read that correctly or do you have your beer/martini/margarita goggles on? Hmmm...
Sorry I'm so late to the party. But I bring those frozen concoctions to help you hang on! Salt or no salt, Deb?
Noreally, aMy, iT saw! mIndyiwanttogo seeeetherecipeeeeepleeeeeeeeeeaseeeeee
hTe Xetas Owman
The lime margaritas are wonderful! David is serving them up fresh at his blog! Hey, who is that? Is that Shade? I hope that fine Texas cowboy arrived alone! I've been wanting to meet him in person!
OK y'all I'm back. Were you good girls while I was gone. Where's Harry? Where's Cat Daddy? What the heck...Where's Tanner? Cher, Maggie, Laurie...get in here right now!
Now for a disclaimer from our sponsor, Helen Louise: For any of you who are visiting this blog for the first time, please do not be frightened by what you are witnessing. Normally these are genteel, well behaved women who felt the need tonight to let down their hair or in some cases, not wear any.
Please come back and visit Talking Trash when she is on her best behavior...Which young lady, after I get through with you will be soon.
We now resume you to your regular partying.
I think Theresa just walked in!
I sent my entourage in the limo to pick her up! Glad she's here!
HICK!WHERE'SSHADE???????????? aLvn, you'R emaRRied! tHeResa's at a sFamilyfffffunction. Sheee ain't heeeerrree.
hTe Xetax oWman
Woo Hoo! Theresa's here! I heard she was bringing a hunkie cowboy as her date.
Oh goodness, I sent Heidi's pink Escalade too! While we're waiting for her to make her grand entrance(you know that's why she's late don't you) I've go a few questions for y'all.
1. Are you have a good time?
2. Did I deliver as promised?
3. Are you going to come see me at Zapp Hall?
4. Do you still respect me, Harry?
5. Do Y'all still love me?
6. Am I y'alls BFF & ever?
7. Do you think we need a real party?
8. Where's C.D.?
9. Where's Laurie?
I know the answer to #8...... he's with me!
1. Heck, yeah! Texans do it right!
2. Best blog party ever!
3. Wouldn't miss it!
4. He said, "The way you look tonight, you know I do."
5. No doubt about it!
6. No doubt about that either!
7. A real party would be great, too!
8. Hmmm...
9. Double hmmm...
Hey, I came to get The Texas Woman and pour her home. Looks like you all had a great party. I'm glad I don't have to clean it up! I hope Cher wasn't too big of a problem. She doesn't drink much so just one drink will set her off. She either gets horny or sleepy. I'm glad tonight it was sleepy. Say goodnight, Cher.
IT Guy
Whew that was such a wonderful Party , my feet are killing me!! Us girls just could not stop dancing, maybe it was a little too much bubbly or was it the singing from that handsome man, I will never be the same. Give Harry a kiss, and congratulations.
Hugs & Kisses, Diane
I'm here....hello, where is everyone. I hope they haven't passed out. Did ya'll save any food and drinks for me. Gosh it took forever to get here, even though I shouldn't complain since I did get a ride in the pink cadi and all. Well, let's party. It's not midnight yet. Hello, where is every body???
I am so glad you are here T. I can't find anybody. I'm afraid to go out to the pool. There is no telling what we'll find there. BTW, you look gawjus! Here, have a champagne cocktail while we're looking!
HEY THERESA!! We're out here... In the pool.... Jump in!! Be careful you don't spill your drink!
This junking starlet is buggin' out, Ladies! I'm plain worn out! Between the margaritas and the pool party, I've had it! And I have to be on set for a photo shoot in the morning! Luckily, I found my furry date and we're headed off to snuggle with RJNJ. Y'all sure know how to throw a bash, Deb! Happy early Valentine's Day to the sweetest of the sweets!
Amy
I'm dressed for the fete!

I want to thank you all for playing along and making this a great day for me. Mother would have been so happy. She loved a good party and a good laugh. Y'all provided plenty of those.

HELLO...Hello...Hello? Anyone still up! The limo driver got us lost coming out of east Texas ...I think he turned left instead of right and the next thing I knew we were in Little Rock!!!! I must have been sipping on the bubbly...I thought we were in DAllAS! So sorry we're late! I can't believe I missed everyone but from the looks of the place you had one wild and crazy party! /the hats...the streamers...the confettii...the leftovers...whoa there are NO leftovers. Not even a chip let alone a dip! Looks like you've already gone to bed....don't want to disturb you...I'll just tip toe out and close the front door quietly.....Wait is that Harry laying on the front lawn? HARRY...C'mon Harry crawl on up here in the limo...I'll give you a ride home...but first we're stopping at TACO BELL!!!
Boy...this party really peaked after my bed time:O lol
