As I was walking into church on Easter morning, a girl says to a friend, “There’s that White Trash Guy from Facebook!” YES, she was talking about ME, and NO, I was not offended. Is that wrong?
The fact is I hosted THE WHITE TRASH PARTY @ The SoChi Gallery on Friday night. If you are a Facebooker, you’ve probably already seen the photos. You can’t get much trashier than having throw-down on Good Friday, but hey, it went along with the theme. So I say, Good Friday, Great Party!
There has been a lot of chatter about the theme. There was no malicious intent here…just a dark stab at the floundering economy. It worked! A record number of SoChilites came dressed in their finest trashy apparel. This was a costume party! And man, were there costumes. If you didn’t dress up you felt downright out of place! Mitch Kersey of Amanda Jane Salon awarded Best Dressed prizes. 1st, 2nd & 3rd place were awarded to: Priscilla Esser, Amy & Troy Tarpley and Starling Thornsberry.
AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A WHITE TRASH PARTY ‘CAUSE A WHITE TRASH PARTY DON’T STOP! And it’s not a party until someone gets arrested! Of course, the first was SoChi’s own Holly GoLightly, Priscilla Esser who relished the flashing bulbs and true Roadhouse applause like the true star she is! Her crime was being “too Hawt!” You are IT, baby, the Queen of the Doublewide!
The stereotypical décor included old tires, a pink flamingo, a clothesline hanging overhead full of the expected garments, a ROADHOUSE type DJ booth (thanks to Kevin Nichols of DKH Entertainment and an old RV parked curbside. Other treasures included the camo koozies supplied by Dent Tricks,“The Best of Jerry Springer” DVD was playing on the TV and an on-site Tattoo artist was giving airbrushed Tatts…..T-RASHY to the core décor!
Saturday I received an email from an Atlanta publicist. It said, “You’ve got Atlanta living vicariously though SoChi!“ I’ll take it!
