Hey all,

Last year, amidst the 2 months of ice and snow that kept me TOTALLY locked down - I THINK (or Celtic thinks) that I started a story line that everyone added to.

So...back by popular demand is.....

BOOMER BABES HOLIDAY story.....


The story begins.............................
(ahem)


It is December 12th, the crisp winter air bites at my nose as I haul in all the Christmas cards the Boomer Babes sent me today.

My postman gave me a very dirty look as he hauled the 4 bags of mail to my doorstep.

I put on the tea pot for a cup of tea....................

... put on my favorite socks, got my blankie and plopped down in the middle of the bags, anxious to investigate, but questioning myself as to which one to open first. I decided on the smallest bag, and I'm glad I did. Inside, I found a small box. It was about the size of a credit card, but I knew by the feel of it that something wonderful must be inside....

for something I could't figure out so I tossed the box full of useless men into a corner and grabbed the biggest bag of stuff...I pulled out a large red velvet envelope with my name addressed on it but when I read the card it was actually for another BWS member. Chatty Lady. The cards got mixed up. Wow...as I read on I found out something I didn't know about Chatty...I found that she really, really likes to....

But M is a has-been, and is onto a new life making purses. Her youth disqualified her for the boomer party, so she went out to a RAVE party. Meanwhile, other boomers were receiving tons and tons of cards. By this time, the post person was no longer grumpy, but was cheered by the popularity of boomer women everywhere. So another boomer, named _________ started opening her cards, and here is what she found:

We have to start somewhere, so we will start with the Princess, and her mad crush on Sir Paul McCartney. We'll get all the other boomers who had a crush on a Beatle (and still do) confess their fantasies of what they thought their life would be like. We'll get all the girls to remember when they played "house" in the 3rd grade. You remember, each girl took a turn as to whom she would marry? I always got Paul. That was a given. So Chatty started making notes on those fantasies of being married to a Beatle, and the next one to confess was________ and I can't believe what she told us! She let out her secret, which was ___________

that Lady Jane and The Princess were going to duke it out over Sir Paul. But then, that REAL secret, which only Lady Jane can tell, was something that only the Chatty Lady knew, since Lady Jane had revealed it in the book that Chatty was ghost writing for Lady Jane. One day, Chatty spilled a latte on the confidentiality agreement Lady Jane had made Chatty signed, so Chatty forgot all about what was on that document. Chatty went to a pajama party with all her boomer sisters. Oprah had provided all the pajamas from Oprahs favorite pj designer. We were all so cozy in our pjs with prints of snow flakes, evergreen trees, and shining stars. The Princess had customized her PJs with sequins. Meredith embellished her PJs with beads. The sisters watched chick flicks and shared fashion and make up tips. As they were all propped on pillows, cuddled in blankets, they were eating popcorn and drinking Kahlua hot chocolates. Chatty started to tell us about this fabulous story she was ghost writing for Lady Jane's, and Chatty got so wrapped up in the story, that she inadvertantly let the secret slip. Oh my, her tongue had gotten so loose from the Kahlua! and here is what Chatty told us. Many of us now know, so anyone can reveal that secret, if she dares...But you must whisper, because you never know if/when the paparazzi are lurking...Go on, someone, please tell me, I'm dying to know....

... when Lady Jane was just entering high school, she won a trip to Liverpool. An older friend was suppose to travel with her, but as it turned out she made the trip alone. It wasn't the best of situations, but having proved herself over and over, her parents trusted she'd be fine. It didn't turn out that way, however. She not only lost her itinerary before leaving the plane, she had failed to convert her U.S. dollars. Worried and alone, she didn't disembark after her plane landed in Liverpool. She sat in her seat, fretting over what she'd do next. Near tears she looked around to take in her surroundings, hoping to find a single source of aide. A disheaveled young man was gathering his things two rows behind her. Listening intently, she could hear him testing words to a song that seemed to be written for her situation, "Help, I need somebody, Help, not just anybody, Help, you know I need someone, he-e-e-l-l-p."
Jane jumped from her seat and without a pinch of dignity hollered, "Me, too!"
The young man immediately stopped what he was doing, slowly and cautiously turning toward Jane. He then...

smiled a dashing smile and asked if he could be of service to his pretty friend from across the pond? Well, Jane was so impressed with his chivalry that she followed him off the plane and into a waiting automobile. He told her his name was Paul and he was going to rehearse with his band, would she like to come along. Jane and Paul were inseperable for that week and she was the first love of the man now known as Sir Paul of the famous Beetles. Paul begged Jane to remain in England with him, but she was too young and promised until her return she would write everyday. Jane never returned to Paul and the rest is history. Chatty passed out cold among the questions coming at her in a rapid pace from all in attendance at the pajama party. She was too drunk to realize she had broken a confidence, but the next morning when she went down for breakfast, Jane came up behind her and said, I hope...

"...your hangover isn't as bad as mine!" The image in her mind and opportunity missed by a foolish young girl had Jane depressed. She didn't want to answer all the questions from others that remained that morning. She was lost in long ago dreams. But, hey, it was Christmas! It was time for the Boomers to get busy decorating Chatty's place and planning the semi-formal party for that evening....Still, Jane kept hearing "there were bells on a hill, but I never heard them ringing...no, I never heard them at all...till there was you"...

Hearing footsteps coming up the hallway, Jane straightened her back and put on a smile, and it wasn't a minute too soon. Georgia with a satchel clutched tight so the weight wouldn't misplace her balance and Dotsie laddened with what looked like invitations entered the room. They both caught themselves staring at Jane, sensing her ruffled spirit. Georgia diverted her attention long enough to hoist the satchel up and onto the table positioned under the large plate glass window, then turned her attention back to Jane. Dotsie, who had taken a seat in the chair nearest Jane, turned her gaze to the doorway. There stood...

Dianne in the sexiest red leather knee high boots, with matching skirt, she was with Dancer dressed equally fine in a blue shimmering dress that showed off her lean, mean dancers figure. They were trailed by Anne with a pen and paper making note of the names of the single men named in the newsletter of Chatty's resort park. She held her hand to her forehand exclaimig in her best Scarlett voice, "I will never go manless again." Everyone busted a gut laughing. Just then in the front door walked Princess Lenore, Meredith, GodsLittlePencil, Sandpiper, Optimumsteps and Anno returning from the airport where they had picked up Hannelore, Celtic and Lola all coming to the weekend party. The giggles and comment were wild and everyone was so happy to finally meet when Queen JJ asked, hey....

Princess Lenora laughed, but then got serious. You see, gimster had revealed that LJ lost her itinerary on that fateful trip to Liverpool. PL, ever the jealous woman when it comes to her Sir Paul, wondered what else LJ lost during that week. PL wanted to party, but she was obsessing over the fact that LJ got to SPM before her, so PL was plotting revenge. Meanwhile, the boomer sisters started to assemble, with bags and bows, and shoes and purses, and as they arrived, in walked the Divine Miss Danita, for whom this story is written, and she stood in the doorway and gasped, "Oh My...." because...

Over the mantle was a huge banner that read: Welcome Danita the babe that got the ball rolling...She was now blushing as Vicki, Poppie, MsCoach, Lgood67334, Hotflashgal, AmyDoodle, Sandpiper, Yonuh and Nevadangel all gathered around her, all talking at once. Suddenly the door bell rang and since Chatty was in the kitchen digging out more snacks, Anne answered the door where on the porch she found Diamond who jut flew in from Hawaii, grass skirt and all. With her walking up the driveway was Dee, and Eagleheart and Kathy. Dotsie hurried to the door to greet all her devoted followers, most face to face for the first time. The phone was ringing so JJ grabbed it saying "Boomer Central." A male voice said, "hey lady,I gots a bus full of women here needin to find an address. I'm da driver so give it ta me slow, would ya sister?" Well, to imagine anyone speaking to her Royal Oreo'ness in such a matter, she immediately turned around and screeched for Chatty to pick up the phone and give this rude lunkhead directions. Mumbling to herself, Chatty said, "I heard that," Dianne said smiling as Chats grabbed the other phone...

In the livingroom Robin, Bonnierose and Di were discussing business's. The laughter could be heard for blocks. Then a long black limo pulled up and you'll never guess who arrived in style from Moscow, waving her arms saying...

that huge bus, hey everyone they're pulling in here. Chatty, Dotsie, JJ and the others crowded out on the porch to see what the commotion was about...

The bus driver opened the door and the chatter could be heard for blocks. Stepping off the huge double decker bus was AvolonBlondi, Bluebird, Louisa, Casey, Chickadee, Cookie, Lionspaaw, Smilinize, CountryGirl, DaisyGal, Orchid and MountainAsh were teasing DJ and MustangGal about the sexy drivers attention.

DonnaJ, Dreamer, Emyjay, PamK, Katebecca, Prill, Humlan, Kathleen and Jane Carroll stepped off last. Oh wait, here comes Saundra carrying a box of fancy free toothbrushs for one and all.

The limo and the bus pulled away leaving the gang behind with everyone talking and hugging and the happy tears flowed freely. Knowing there were even more women coming Chatty stood up on a chair and asked for everyones attention. We will all be staying at The MANDALAY BAY Resort. This evening they will be dispatching transportation for us all. In the meantime eat, drink and be merry because tonight....

Immediately after this announcement, the room was so quiet you could hear the snow falling in the mountains of Colorado. It was a moment to record in history, so many boomers and not one sound. Then as soon as the house quietened, it came alive again, everyone talking at once. Other challenges flew throughout the room. Laughter followed dares, which precipated even wilder dares. The night was not yet old and the women had barely gotten to know each other, but there was a magic in the air that only good friendships could make.

Dancer, who had found Chatty's music collection, inserted a CD into the player, kicked of her shoes and started moving to the soft background sound of Ricky Nelson's Never Be Anyone Else But You. Playfully weaving in and out of the crowd to the rythm of the song, she was across the room in but a minute. She ended her frolicsome performance with a curtsy to JJ, who had opened her satchel to pull out a nearly empty package of Oreos and some ...

good old Southern made whiskey. The tinkling of the glasses sounded like a tabernacle orchestra. Danita was now dancing with Dancer while others way across the room were clapping to Meredith and Chatty making spectacles of themselves up on the Piano dancing, while the crowd clapped to the rythmm of Mustang Sally ride...Just then something no one ever expected to see....

the widows that lived in this retirement resort. They were out in force searching for their missing studly Santas. It had taken them months to find just the right single dudes to play the part for their parties, but then as they were trying on their costumes, POOF! they were gone. The women were really ticked and out for revenge. Anne was lucky because when the group of angry women heard the wild music from the street and saw Chats house was a-rockin, they passed right by it. Anne sighed with relief as she stuffed her sack of men into Chattys walk in closet. She whispered to the men inside as she closed the door tight...

... She told them to be really quiet and that she'd be back in a flash, but she had something else to do first. She ran down the hall and out the front door just in time to see the widows getting ready to round the corner at the end of Chat's block. With little thought, she took off running, skipping every so often, thinking it would help her uneven pant. Finally she reached the women, who had stopped and watched as the booming crazy lady nearly fell into their huddle. Anne327, being the kind soul that she is, breathlessly invited them to Chatty's house. She didn't tell of her magic bag escapade. That would be her secret.
But, she did tell them...

...they all arrived back to Chatty's. Each were taken aback by the sight of the seemingly wild party inside. Chatty was demonstrating her table dance and there was wild laughter everywhere. Anne convinced them to stay for awhile as she introduced them to the others. They couldn't get over Dianne's bright red suit and shoes. This was evident as they looked knowingly at each other as they surveyed all these women. Anne thought the tale of the magic bag might make them smile and lighten up but before she could begin her story...

She was checking out her prey....we glanced at each other knowing what the thoughts were. But just then a loud shriek that sent our hearts jumping....

Poor dear Meredith took a nose dive off the piano and landed on Sandpiper, who fell against Anno, who slammed into Danita,...and so on, and so on. It looked like a game of giant dominos going on.

In the meantime across town, they were making ready all the rooms on the 12th. floor for the invasion of the Boomer babes. These rooms were so beautiful, some even had jacuzzis in them. The Manager told Arthur, Jake and Paulo to ready the tour busses to go across town to pick up their guests.

The phone rang and Chatty was told to get the boomer babes ready as the busses would be there shortly. It was hard to hear him and even harder to get the attention of the BB's so Saundra grabbed a pot from the kitchen and a big wooden spoon and banged on it until you could hear a pin drop.

Chatty jumped up on the piano again and this time told the ladies what was occuring. You have one half hour to grab your stuff and head out into the front yard. The busses are coming to get you all. Tonite is a party in The House of Blues just for us and I'm ....

seeing the greatest party Las Vegas ever saw! And so it was!
Boomers enjoyed unplugged entertainment at The House of Blues Music Hall, called Mandalay Bay. Sandpiper, Anno and Danita picked themselves off the floor and were spinning to the best dance hits The Spazmatics could offer. That night, our boomers' experienced the ultimate dance party plus rockstar karaoke, backed up by a real, live rock band. Chatty was on the dance floor swinging; and, she managed to stay off The House Piano all night long.
Rock and roll you disco babes, you!!!!

Where's Meredith? We haven't seen her since she started that human landslide. She wasn't on the dance floor.
She wasn't in the little girls' room. She wasn't at the bar or any of the tables? Now that I think of it, she wasn't on any of the buses, either! Has anyone seen Meredith...?

Meantime back at Chattys place there was Meredith sitting at the dining room table with the widow women from the park that had followed Anne looking for their men, they were engrossed in looking at some of the most beautiful jewelry they'd ever seen. Meredith had brought some of her creations with her for the Boomer Babes to buy, at their insistance. One of the wild women spotted the stuff and now the money was flying out of their hands to buy up these treasures. Meredith picked up the telephone and called Dotsies cell to explain to her why she was missing and about her fabulous luck. One woman wanted the jewelry right out of Meredith's ears, she was laughing hysterically when she told Dotsie....

Okay, I hear my name... (and I've been MIA due to a surprisingly decent week in web orders. Usually it's quiet until mid-January)

It wouldn't be the first time that someone has bought some gorgeous jewels directly off me Although some things are NOT for sale!

OK, back to the story...
Meredith was moving jewelry so fast, she seemed to have three arms. When Dotsie answered her phone, Meredith was babbling about a combined craft fair/talent show/literary salon/
and of course, for Anne (and several other ladies) -- a charity auction featuring the talents of the captured men,

Did I say talents????

And those captured men, were--of all things--Chip and Dale
strippers. Hey, talk about auctions, now that was an auction. The bodies on those guys were way too distracting.
The jewelry was beautiful, but so were those male bods!
HeeeeeeeeHaaaaaw; oooooogle, ooooogle, ooooogle!

Who needs talent, when you look like that?

Meredith surprised us all when she showed up at the Mandalay Bay the next evening with photos of the auction. The Chippendale dancers who were being auctioned off, were all modeling Merediths jewelry. You wouldn't believe where she had pieces exhibited, I never thought I'd see a beaded bracelet where...

..."the sun don't shine." Various responses from the boomers were quite a memory of that night. Dotsie blushed, JJ roared, Chatty clapped and cheered with Hannelore right behind her. LadyJane just laughed hysterically, as usual. What a night! Meredith didn't know quite what to think of her jewelry then. It's time for the farewell dinner now. Everyone was saddened to see it all end but there will always be next year. Everyone was cooking and chatting away. Chatty did the main dish and told everyone else what to do. Then a loud knock at the door hushed everyone....who could it be?...

It was Mrs, Hughes, she'd been invited by JJ to come and join the fun. She did her stand-up comedy for all the gals for an hour, we were all sick from laughing. Some of the ladies didn't know who she was because they hadn't read about her under the thread ANNOUNCEMENTS Chatty posted...It was almost time to retire for then night because everyone was leaving early the next day, we all said our goodnights and suddenly there came a shriek from Chats bedroom, it was Anne who had finally...

Oh my gosh, there in the foyer were the chipmunks, Chip & Dale. They were dancing on a chippendale dancer's semi-comatose body. Mr. Bicepts must have drank too much wine.
Talk about jewelry? He had body parts pierced that caused pain just to think about them being punctured...Places

...through his lips just where Anne put them when he said the WRONG thing! However, Anne seemed smug about it. It didn't bother her a bit...after all, the bum deserved it! Now how are we going to get rid of all these chipmunks plus the semi-comatose chippendale guy? So nurse Jane dialed 911 for the chippendale and Chatty, who loves her animals, got a net for the chipmunks. Soon the place was cleared out. Time for the final party tonight before everyone has to go home. This one would be the best! Who will sing? dance? tell jokes? "I know!" yelled Bonnierose above everyone's chatter.....

The following morning Chatty could be seem as a small speck on the runway waving a teary good-bye to all that came to Vegas that April week. What a way to end the biggest, wildest party Vegas had ever seen. One they'd never forget.

Dotsie and JJ were sitting in the rear of the plane with pad and pen in hand already planning the fabulous getaway for next year.
The other women all drank champagne and toasted Vegas and the wonderful time they had, recounting the happenings and laughing hysterically.
A good time was had by all, but wait where was Anne? Just then the pilot came on the intercom saying, "will someone please come and remove this wild woman from my co-pilots lap?"

THE END

(0r was it?)
