Mark your calendars!


It's time to announce the big cyber event of the year! Peeps from all over the world have been flocking to Willow Manor, in ball gowns and tails, for an evening of fun and frivolity, every October for the last four years. Plans are under way as we speak, for the gala evening, which, mysteriously enough, lasts a whole 24 hours. So, dear friends, mark your calendars, do some outlandish cyber shopping, and grab a date for The 5th Annual Willow Manor Ball.  As always, there will be a Mr. Linky widget provided for you to sign in, if you would like to share what you're wearing, or who your date might be, for the big event. 

The 5th Annual 
Willow Manor Ball
Sunday, October 28, 2012

Stay tuned the next few weeks for juicy updates. My people have informed me that Marcello Mastroianni and Veronica Lake, among other notables, will be among our guests. Feel free to take the above poster, or the badge below, to pimp on Facebook, or your blog.

  5. Yippee! I was telling the G-man just yesterday that the time for the Willow Ball was drawing nigh. I may have to get a different date this year because my normal date (Liam) has been too much into violence of late with his movie schedule. Hmmm, whom shall I ask?

  10. I am a high school teacher, and decided that this would be a great way to celebrate World Teachers' Day - October 5th! I created a post http://teacheringrey.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/celebrate-world-teachers-day-with-ball.html and shared it with teachers on Edmodo, inviting them to take some time out and have some fun.

  18. Although my wife and I will be leaving that day on our 2012 Grand Tour of the American West - I will cyberly slip over to cavort with you for just moment. Since we are packing light, my attire may be somewhat casual but decent.

  19. Katie-Bar-The-Door and I will be there, possibly with bells on.

  22. This sounds like a fun party and is certainly an interesting idea

  23. Well, Rich has some time off before heading back to NZ to shoot a little more footage as Thorin Oakenshield for Sir Peter, so we'll be able to make it to the Ball! He'll be sporting a rather dashing beard which is key to being Thorin - I personally hope it stays around after the Sir Peter calls "Cut", pardon the pun.

    Have my gown, still looking for shoes. We're both looking forward to gliding and rocking around the dance floor.

    Ciao, bella!
