Dedra's 40th

My dear friend Dedra celebrated 40 years by mistakenly inviting me to her birthday party.
Rod and I showed up at the Gramercy Park Hotel Rose bar an hour early since we were itching to get out of the house. Two martinis later Dedra showed up and we head to her suite upstairs and help her get dressed.

We are both wearing black tie because Rod swore there was a prom theme. Well he was wrong so we were the only one in tuxes while everyone else was in jeans. But you know me, never one to mind getting dolled up!

We helped her get dressed, ordered more cocktails then swaggered over to dinner down the street.
We had close to 8 courses and by the 6th one I was so tipsy I just wanted Dunkin Donuts. I called Justin to come save me so he arrived and we went out for a cigarette break and simply could not face sitting down for another hour.

We headed back to the hotel ( I had a room key!!) and got the room done up for the after party. That means we moved the inflatable bed, turned on the ipod and ordered more drinks.

Dedra and the crowd arrived and were pleasantly surprised that 1) the room was ready for a party 2) I was still alive.

After that I think I ate her birthday cupcake (close to Dunkin Donuts) and broke her chocolate gnome with butt plug center piece while wearing her vintage kimono.

By then I realized it was time for me to go. Amazingly I got the sweetest text from Dedra the next morning. I guess she knew what she was getting herself into when she sent me the invite.

Good times and Happy B day Baby!
