Gift exchanges with my best friend are always special. But this year, we decided to have a tea party. Little did I know how all out she would go, and I was extremely floored when I was welcomed with her Alice in Wonderland themed table set up. The tea, the pastries, the cucumber sandies-were all exceptional. Our gift exchange went successfully as well...I mean, she knew EXACTLY what I wanted and vice versa. It's a pretty great feeling, and she's a pretty amazing Best. Love you, Kate!
Friday, March 5th was sort of an important day for the Best and me. As huge fans of anything Alice in Wonderland, of course this was going to be BIG day. So Alice (Kate) and her Red Queen (yours truly) embarked on our magical evening, which we had been planning for ever since we found out about it last year. Yeah, we're crazy fans...We were able to arrive early enough that we ended up being 2nd in line. And during the 2 and a half hour wait, we ran into some CSUN buddies of ours- Jake, Phil, Shauna, Gadi, and Brian. It was really cool to see them, and they all ended up right beside us in line. The group definitely kept the time moving, and we were all excited to catch up with one another.
All in all, the evening was a complete success! We absolutely adored Tim Burton's rendition of Alice, and I will always be a forever fan of Johnny Depp. Alice is a definite must-see. I think Kate summed it up best, "It's not going be a classic or anything, but if you go into it with the mind-set that's it NOT going to be the traditional Alice story-then you can just sit and enjoy the beauty of it all instead of nitpicking the entire time." So that's exactly what we did. And yeah, even though it was completely different from the Alice I grew to love-I was able to appreciate it's creativity and NEW brilliance. I hope you all enjoyed it, just as much as we did. :)
