Toga, Take Two
It’s official. I am a Toga Party Virgin no more.
The hubby and I attended our friends’ Roman-theme bacchanal Saturday night in full toga regalia. Following the sage advice dispensed by TogaBoy on Howtomakeatoga.com, I purchased six yards of fabric for each of us to transform into our party attire. Mine was a regal light gold; his was (I thought) a funny dog-and-cat print. Because he’s a veterinarian, I thought I had a perfect built-in theme going on.
Of course, a half-hour before the main event, he balked at donning the fabric I so carefully chose for him (I believe his exact words were, “Are you insane? No f’ing way!”) and proceeded to take one of our son’s grey pinstriped sheets and throw it over a t-shirt, tying it with a dog leash (that theme thing again). We both added sandals, and garlands of leaves on our heads (his over his requisite baseball cap) and I gotta say, we looked GOOD.
The night was a big success; the party throwers and all our other friends who attended really went all out – so much so that the hosts mentioned something about a caveman-themed bash next year. To which I say: oy vey.

Pictures please!
Please post the photos...I haven't seen a toga, handcrafted or otherwise, on anyone in our age group lately!
Okay...you KNOW i'm technologically-challenged. But I do have pix so I will try my best to get someone to help me post 'em. Will probably take a few days but stay tuned...Cheers, Laurie
Wish I had been there!
