Onward, moi said to moi's self.  The night is young but you are already behind schedule (due to a combination of Flip time and drag time).  It was with a sense of urgency, therefore, that moi made moi's way across the breadth of downtown LA, heading east to the second party of the evening.

And here are the reasons for the party.  Nikka and Vanessa, very nearly sharing the same birthday, decided to jointly celebrate

Now, if moi was to tell you that both are Filipinas, moi imagines your response would be "where is the food?" and you would be right to ask the question.

As you can see, lots to eat.  Errr.  Moi has no idea how the middle picture got in there

You might well also inquire if there were lots of guesties

"Hello?  Are there lots of guesties at the party?

Dramatic reenactment

Yes, there were lots of guesties

Some, like Vanessa, POSED alone

Others, like Joy, POSED with moi

Bunches favored POSING en masse, even if it took a little organizing to get to the POSE position

And some bunches just HAD to POSE with moi

Yet others were just there for the food, of which, as moi previously noted, there was plenty

But soon, moi heard the Ghost of Parties Yet to Come calling moi and, passing up the food (eschewing the chewing), moi felt the need to be on moi's way again.
