Shall We Dance?

So... Willow has been busy the last few weeks handing out invitations to all and sundry to the Second Annual Willow Manor Ball, and she spent the last week getting Willow Manor ready for the onslaught. Naturally, seeing who else was coming and realizing that this was the social event of the year here on Blogger, I just had to come. Finding a date was going to be a problem, though, as it seems that all the available women seemed to be being scooped up by the other male bloggers. I had to get creative.


I asked Gomez Addams if he could spare Morticia for a day, but he threatened to challenge me to a duel, and my swordsmanship is a little rusty. Frankenstein's monster wasn't going to rent out his bride, either. And Vlad's three captive females don't even look at anybody but Vlad these days, so no luck there, either. So I thumbed hastily through my little black book. Gee, how did so many women get married to someone else after I dated them? But wait, all is not lost. Here's one nobody in his right mind would marry. I was in luck! I called her, and she accepted without hesitation. After all, nobody who's anybody is going to miss Willow's ball! So Here I am on my way to the ball with - Cruella de Vil. That's her below on the left. And that's me on the right; I saw a potential client I've been working on for a couple of weeks, and decided this party was a good time , since he seemed to be all loose and suggestible, to sign over his soul once and for all. The picture's not in the best focus because Cruella was whacking me with her purse for leaving her to work on my night off.


We motored to the ball in my 1929 canary yellow Auburn Boat-tailed Roadster.


When we got there it was pretty obvious that the party was in full swing. Man, that joint was jumpin'!


Everybody was dancing up a storm, and then the Silver Fox and Catherine Zeta-Jones cleared the floor for their number. When they were done, Cruella and I decided it was time for us to put on a little show as well. Halfway through the rest of the crowd got into the spirit of the thing and joined in. What a scene that was!


I certainly hope everyone else has as wonderful a time as Cruella and I had. Thanks, Willow!

  3. Wow, Roy! I never knew you were that passionate about the tango! Um, but I think your video camera caught me walking out after Cameron "Cammie" Diaz dumped me.

  5. Ms. de Vil was certainly unique. Her dancing reminded me a bit of Elaine Benes! I'm glad I didn't have any puppies to hide!

    Gosh, I loved your yellow roadster!

  6. I saw you out of the corner of my eye, on the dance floor. Very impressive!
    But then I went on that flight, and I seemed to lose everyone after that.
    Your yellow car is amazing!

  7. Oooh...I stopped by earlier but you weren't quite ready. I see you have arrived fashionably late! Ms. Deville...oh my....do you have her all to yourself or are the other gentlemen wanting a spot on her dance card? Let's hide the cupcakes...she'll use one for an ashtray! LOL! BTW, Roy...you look stunning! I'd love a dance..if Cruella will allow it!

  8. Nice to meet you Roy. I sure got my eyes full, after all I am a young, naive, proper Southern gal. Pop over and have a drink with us and I will tell you about the south.

  10. It was so lovely to meet you and your date at the ball, but I though she was a bit sulky when you asked me to dance. My escort, Hugh, was a bit unhappy but you were so dashing...

  11. Roy-this was fun! I love that picture of you...it "paints" and entirely different picture of you than the way I think of you. This must have been fun to create.
