Halloween 2010


Myself and dance partner, Cliff Wigham, cut it up at the Zombie Prom 2010 at Club Verde.

Excalibur Birthday Party!




This Birthday Party my family and friends threw for my grandson is going to be hard to top. My grandsons 8th birthday party last year was a 1950s style Rodeo. This year he gave his wish list about 6 months in advance while reading Robin Hood. Then he took archery classes, so, needless to say we knew he was serious. My grandkids, Hayes and Carlos, began practicing sword fighting while I gathered costumes for months. As you can see, it turned out to be a hit and everyone dressed the part.



There I am following behind my son JT, walking with our handmade banner that reads "SIR HAYES OF ELKHORN."

2010 Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild Mad Men Party


Me and my best friend, Gayle Lipman, WOWED them at this years GBACG Mad Men themed party held at Elks Lodge in the East Bay. Fun was had by all, especially, when the Giants won that nights World Series Game. Gayle, I'm sure most S.F residents will recognize, as she and her partner Bernie are considered two of the best dancers in this city.

2010 Handcar Regatta in Santa Rosa

Me at the Handcar Regatta in Santa Rosa, California 2010.

This event is a great chance to dress like My Fair Lady, however, it was 99 degrees!!! Thank heaven I brought a parasol. There were so many spectacular things and people to see and admire. Definitely worth going to.

The Gatsby Summer Afternoon 2010


Cicely at the 26th Annual San Francisco Art Deco Society Gatsby Summer Afternoon, September 2010 at the famous Dunsmuir House in Oakland.




I just love this event! Putting outfits together from the 1920's and 30's customers and myself is always a pleasure. The weather was absolutely perfect, probably the best the Gastby Picnic has ever seen. Spectacular ambiance!
