The Rat Pack

My Birthday Party (aka New Year’s Eve) theme was to dress up in your fanciest Rat Pack Vegas Style. All the classy dames and gents came dressed to the 9s. (Pictures to come soon!). Coincidentally, this was my 2nd Rat Pack themed event of December and after spending copious amounts of time researching the RP members, style and hairdos I think I’m ready to put my hair up in a bouffant and live the glamorous life.

Trivia: Can you name all the members? There’s Frank, Sammy, Dean and … ???

And LA’s unusually warm winter weather has me dreaming of summer weekend getaways.  While Vegas was their famed playground, Palm Springs was their retreat. Back in the day, Palm Springs was the go-to vacation spot for Hollywood’s royalty.

In the spirit of all things Rat Pack, check out these photos of FOTRP (Friend of the Rat Pack) Tony Curtis & Janet Leigh’s Palm Springs oasis:

Why, yes, I would love to spend the weekend at “Camp Curtis.”

Does it remind anyone else of that house that Don Draper ended up partying at during his foray/disappearance on the business trip to LA (end of Season 2)?
