OC Weekly Holiday Party

It was hard to top last year’s party on that beautiful boat in Newport, but this Saturday the OC Weekly Holiday Party & Fashion Show hit an all-time high with one of the best parties of the holiday season (if I do say so myself).

Britney Spears may have been a no-show, but that didn’t seem to be a problem for the hundreds upon hundreds of people who showed up to get down with the OCW at the stunningly elegant Gods & Heros in Costa Mesa.

A fashion show by Addiction started the night, followed by another show by Catwalk. The clothes were cute and the models were beautiful. So pretty and thin in fact, I vowed never to eat again.

Until I came across the Cupcakery.

And Burrell’s Wood Pit BBQ. And Widmer’s Hefeweizen. All free for excess consumption.

Whatever, that’s what New Year's resolutions are for.

Our toy drive brought in about three tons of stuffed animals and games for the kiddies. Thanks to everyone who donated!

I think there were enough karma points to smooth over the notorious Christmas party scandals of OCW proportions that I promised several people I would never repeat.

Check out the slideshow!

    Gee, sounds like a lot of fun. Too bad your paper's Managing Editor was ALMOST there, but he spent a good 45 minutes driving up and down Randolph and assorted side streets hunting for some effing parking, and when he tried to valet it, was told that even THAT was filled, too. Then, when he opted to park illegally in the lot across the street (which everyone else seemed to be doing), he heard someone inside the party bellow that "all the cars in the lot across the street will be towed!"

    Total time at the bash: two minutes of line-waiting. Next year, can we have this someplace where there's plenty of auto acreage, like Angel Stadium or the Great Park or a megachurch?

    I am officially more hardcore than Rich. I parked eons away, and walked for literally an hour and a half because the streets all seemed to curve in the wrong direction.

    45 minutes? Hah!
