Fifty Shades of Grey Party...say what??

So obsessed much? Well I am guilty. I have read all 3 books 3 times each....I am in lust love with Christian! Believe it or not it was looking like a pretty good name for my unborn child before I found out she was a girl. And well Christina is just a plain NO for my personal taste. I mean come on, I've already got two Christopher's.

Crazy thing about this book is I thought it was a "life" enhancement or encouragement book. Everyone kept talking about it, I kept seeing it on the news, twitter, etc. and hearing about it from friends, but no one was giving details. One of the mom's on my son's t-ball team even told me "Oh girl you have got to read Fifty Shades of Grey" but she didn't emphasis. So finally while at SAM's one day, I came across it and threw it in the basket. Got home, ran a warm bath & began to read. A little slow at first...but the candles were lite and I was relaxed. Few more pages....and then a few more and BAM!! I was shocked & I was hooked!

Everyday at work I was literally counting down the hours until I could get off to read it! One day my co-worker/friend walked past me and I saw the book on her iPad  Our connection and love for this book was INSTANT! We compared notes, favorite parts &our mutual  lust  love for Christian. Well eventually we got all of our co workers reading this book and we all became obsessed! Yay for not being alone in this  lust love relationship with a man that does not exist! My friend decided that she was going to throw a Fifty Shades of Grey book party! How exciting?!

The only hard limits for the party were:
  1) You had to have read ALL 3 books
  2)You had to wear a black t-shirt, jeans and gray tie

To die for! The invitation was fabulous ( she actually wrote the above hard limits on it! The concept...genius and her presentation at the party spectacular!!!

I arrived late of course. Attempting to find a decent black shirt to fit over this baby bump took forever. Doing my unmanageable hair even longer and well I am obsessed with the artistry of makeup so I was thinking about doing something "out there" and then at the last minute I took it all off and went natural. I haven't felt "pretty" or even cute this entire pregnancy. Which I hear happens with girls but who knows?

When I got there it was cool to see everyone in their black shirt, jeans and gray tie!!!

The buffet she had sent up came with custom name plates! So awesome. We made our plates and took our seats. We started with discussion questions she handed out for everyone on each book. This book party was awesome. It was nice to get everyone's perspectives, opinions and feelings on each book, character and the different "situation". I thoroughly enjoyed myself

After the discussions over all the books, we ate the cake!! She had a special presentation from a Fifty Shades of Grey toy saleswoman. I know...I know...I didn't know that they existed either. It was crazy, but entertaining  she had all the same toys, instruments  utensils (whatever you want to call them) from the book. Everything from the flogger, to the brown leather strap, to the silver balls....literally EVERYTHING from the book. The brochure was even based around the book. All in all this party was fun, entertaining & it left me satisfied with my fix of Christian Grey! She made plain vanilla lip balms as party favors to go home with! I needed this outing...It was worth getting ready for!

Is anyone else as in love with this book as my friends and I are??
