The last party chez Shopgirlove

Oh boy! One of my girlfriends and her husband are separating. Shopgirlove thinks the planets must be off their collective axis. Is anyone having a good year? I'm actually pretty happy, but so many things are up in the air, it's a little unsettling. Thank goodness for old movies! And gin!
Off topic, a certain Manageress at a certain gorgeous boutique across the big waters may have something for Shopgirlove, also, she knows everyone who is anyone at all the boutiques across the big waters. Can I get a collective finger-cross?
Way off topic, but, I've been re-reading Serena Bass' "Food & Stories" and feel a cocktail party in the future...I doubt I will ever top the All Girl Lobster Party of 2006, but a shopgirl can dream!
