Happy Holidays from the Sawyer-Collins-Clemmons household!

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone. I'm Dr. David Sawyer and this is my fiance, Bryan Collins, who would probably kill me if I didn't mention his television show, "Sing," which you should all definitely watch. It airs... sometime. On a channel. I should know those things.



Contrary to what the picture above suggests, we live in sunny Los Angeles, and you are ALL invited to our house for a Holiday party! Bryan has everything set up - the food is catered, the drinks are free, and everyone is welcome.

There are just a few house rules.

1. Be careful of the turkeys in the backyard. They do bite.

2. This is the bed I share with my fiance:



Please DO NOT have sex in or on or NEAR it. There's a guest house with multiple guest rooms for that.

(If you're interested in seeing more of the house, here are some pictures.)

And that's all there is to it. If you have any questions, Shania or I will be happy to answer them. If you're interested in seeing more of Los Angeles and less of our party (or if you're one of those people who isn't comfortable going to a party being hosted by strangers), there will be a thread for Shania to give you touristy advice.

This party will run for the entire span of the week, though it's all really in one night. We might post some activities day to day for people who enjoy a bit of direction, but this is mostly a place for everyone to come together and mingle. Get to know people you've never met, enjoy your friends and family. Eat, drink, and be merry... and please don't trash my house!




PARTY'S OVER!

Linger a bit if you like, but the festivities are done.

David and Shania are: cleaning up the mess. Party's over, folks.

((OOC question: Is Kat going to be here? I'm willing to bring Duke if somehow they would have managed to arrange it. I cannot see him coming on his own, though.))

MORE TO SEE IN LOS ANGELES!

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Hi! My name is Shania Clemmons, and I'll be your travel guide for the week.

If you have any questions about things to do and see, places to eat or stay, or anything else related to Los Angeles (or the great state of California), I'm here to help.

I've already done all of the research so you don't have to, and after completing my own personal California Dreams Bucket List, I consider myself an expert on the state.

ACTIVITY: WHAT TO WEAR

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Hi... um. I'm Blaine. I barely know David and I haven't met Bryan, but I was put in charge of this, I think, because David doesn't really know anything about fashion?

This is the place to show off what you're wearing, so put on your finest suit or favorite party dress and post it here. Use photos of yourself, Polyvore, or any doll maker you like.

Best dressed will be chosen (by an impartial person who has yet to be selected) at the end of the party. The prize is bragging rights!

- Blaine

It's kind of like...a beach Christmas outfit (http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/132152570287446030_USRld6Nq_c.jpg)!

Hi... hello, John.

What hell is this? *looks around, then notices the bar*

No hell at all. There is drink. *walks over and selects an entire bottle of wine for himself*

- Grantaire

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of wine for one person.

~Tess

*stands around awkwardly, leaning against his umbrella*

*wants a drink, but fears that if he gets within 10 feet of Dr. Watson, he'll end up with a broken nose, and therefore stays on the other side of the room*

~Mycroft

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*steps up beside him* Still aren't talking to each other?

- Lestrade

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*comes in carrying a gift, looks around and realizes he is the only one, shrugs and sets it on a table*

*sits on the couch, looking around the room and smiling at anyone who makes eye contact, which is mostly no one*

- Stuart

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*sits next to him on the couch*

Hello.

*comes up beside you and kisses your head*

You know i love you. But did I already tell you that this was not one of yours greatest ideas?

*looks around a little weary of all the strangers*

- Bryan

[haruechan.livejournal.com]

*makes sure there is enough drinks and appetizers before filling a cup of wine and looking around at all the strangers*

*takes a deep breath and gives a smile*

~ Bryan

*leans against him*

Fantastic party. *holds up the entire bottle of wine he's been drinking from* Beautiful house, sir.

*takes a swig*

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

If you're going, you should do it before night falls. It won't be too cold, but it's definitely better during the day.

- Michael, who needs to make friends

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*walks in looking confident, immediately deflates slightly when he sees how many gorgeous women are there already*

*starts looking around for a drink*

I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again.

-the ball flies and she catches it with clever precision-

-just like she was trained to do-

"I dunno but in Panem...this place would be the Capitol"

-Glimmer

*walks over to the truly fantastic stereo system and cycles through the iPod docked in it, putting on something appropriate to dance to*

*looks around the room and smiles*

Save Me From Myself...and My Aching Heart (Klaus)

[emy191989.livejournal.com]

-Morgana walks up to the bar and orders a glass of wine-

"Ugh,Damon Salvatore. What in the hell was I thinking of going with him?"

-She knew she was an idiot to go with him instead of going with her instinct of staying Klaus's ally. Truthfully she would never get over Klaus...a part of her....still loved him. She knew that he didn't....he was with that Fiona woman...or was he? Ugh,why did she want to see him again?! Because...she couldn't forget him.-

-She hears a familar walking pattern and knows it well-

"Klaus." -She says with a smirk.-

- Morgana

You want a real vampire? I could show you a good time.

-Spike

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*walks in carrying a present, because someone told him that's what you do when you're invited to parties, setting it down next to Stuart's gift because it seems as good a place as any*

*heads straight for the bar, confident he won't be carded and pleased when he isn't*

Bourbon, please.

- Jesse

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*isn't quite sure why he came here, but finds the bar anyway*

*tries to get the bartenders attention and pouts when he fails*

-Marco

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*takes a deep breath, looking around the room, trying to will himself to not be awkward*

-Steve

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

Feel the same way Cap.

-Clint

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

-sits on the beach at night overlooking the view of the Golden Gate Bridge with Sam-

-she takes his hand in her own and squeezes it tightly-

You know this is the first time I've seen the ocean in person. I mean....I seen pictures of District 4...but its not the same.

-she leans over and kisses him gently-

Thank you for bringing me here its so romantic.

-Katniss

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*keeps looking over in her direction and smiling*

- Don

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

*saunters into the room, determined to make an entrance*

Has anyone seen a woman wearing red leather? Someone told me that Cara was here. Hopefully she has left my brother's service and is looking to return to the fold.

This place is rather common. It is nothing like a D'Haran party. Egremont, would you please talk to the hosts about livening this party up?

Darken

[meredith44]

((How are you playing them in this world. Is this "normal" to them? Were they drawn here by something? I had Cara in a previous post, but she didn't really do much.))

*sees you and strides over to you*

Rahl. I am surprised to find you here. Isn't consorting with people such as this beneath you?

~ Cara

[hanorganaas.livejournal.com]

-gently walks with Anwen in the stroller-

-she opens the top flap and smiles-

Enjoying your first vacation to the states sweetie.

-Anwen giggles-

-She smiles and pulls down the flap-

Who knows...maybe well find a handsome new prince here to be your father.
