Totally! Awesome! Tubular!

Kate Middleton is turning 30 today and her dear sister Pippa is throwing her an ’80s themed bash! Pip, feeling overwhelmed from all the amazing decor options? From leg warmers to shoulder pads, any 80s party should have certain aspects that will make you and your guests feel like you’ve traveled back in time to the decade of neon, big hair and Billy Idol. As a baby of the ’80s, I think that I’ve compiled a pretty decent list of definite “must-haves” to make a royal ’80s birthday party a totally awesome and bitchin’ occasion! Read More »

There is one thing in life you don’t understand until you get into college (besides a cheap vodka hangover).  And that one thing is theme parties.  And the one thing you don’t understand about them is how amazing they are.  Seriously, they should be a religion, or a hobby, or a competitive sport…OK, I know I’m getting a little carried away here but…

Theme parties are the cheese to my macaroni.

They are fashionably expressive, sexy trashy, and if there is anywhere (besides the local dive bar) where anyone gets absolutely crazy – it’s a theme party.  Franzia bags look juicer and beer served up in a red cup looks all the more tantalizing.   In my four years in college I can safely say that I’ve mastered the theme party.  And I think everyone should be given an equal opportunity to enjoy the ropes of a solid opportunity-to-get-creative slutty.

I’m here to fill your brain with theme party kit knowledge.  Go ahead and dedicate a separate bin for your theme party goods.  With the holidays coming (and with them a whole crop of creative theme parties), I promise it will be worth it.  You will need these things to get you through these trying times. Trust me.

Theme parties. Only the best thing to happen to college since the Solo cup.

Think about it: the best pictures of your collegiate years are all from nights where you’re wearing the most ridiculous clothing, are covered in highlighter, or are standing ankle-deep in a foam/beer mix. These are what we live for, and mistakenly document weekend after weekend. (I mean, who thinks it’s a good idea to bring the camera to the foam party?)

We’ve all been to an 80′s bash, been CEOs (or rather, CE-Hos), done anything for an A, and dabbled in the Heaven and Hell parties, sure. But, why keep the themes to the actual event? What if you started the fun a little earlier? Why not take your pre-gaming life to the next level?

I bring you, the Themed Pre-Party: Read More »
