Tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve Party

So Ian and I have been planning a New Year’s Eve Party for a few weeks now, between making arrangements for our wedding in March and Christmas shopping for each other and for T.J.

Last year we went to a very sophisticated White Party at one of the clubs in Manhattan –everyone had to be dressed all in white, no color was allowed.  But it was very crowded, the music was overly loud and what little food there was wasn’t really all that good.  This year, we thought we’d do something at home.  We’re getting it catered since neither Ian nor I want to cook all those appetizers.  A couple of close friends said they would make something and bring it – baked ziti, Swedish meatballs, sausage and peppers, you know the kind of stuff that gets served at neighborhood parties.  And since it’s going to be our last hurrah before we get married, Ian thought the party should be a bit risqué – maybe an underwear or jockstrap party.  I really liked the idea of a jockstrap party, but with T.J. being only 16, we agreed that it might be a little too much, so we’re going with an underwear party!  The only provisos – no tighty-whities and whatever is worn must be new; everything else – style, color, amount of skin covered, is up for grabs!  We’ve invited nearly two dozen friends, mostly guys but a few lesbian couples that we know and almost everyone is coming!  We'll have plenty of music, lots to drink, watch the ball drop in Times Square on our flat screen -- the best seat in the house -- it ought to be a blast!
