Bollywood Birthday!

Our friend Becky turned 40 recently, giving us the perfect excuse to throw a surprise birthday party for her. The Bollywood theme was the mastermind of our friends, Lisa and Arlo, also the hosts of this event. I prepared several Indian dishes that afternoon, while Dart had arranged a local photographer to act as paparazzi - the "story" was that Becky (being driven to the party by Arlo) was a Bollywood star arriving at a glitzy party. So we all gathered in the dark, with a birthday sign, Sarah presenting roses and Ed, the crazy reporter internviewing her.

When she arrived we crowded her and asked for autographs on posters that Dart had made, photoshopping Becky's face into a hilarious Bollywood poster! Rose, one of the frenzied fans even pretended to faint at her feet, and Robb (the Director of our High School) had her sign his back in permanent ink.

We ate tons of great Indian food, and did henna on eachother's hands and had a great time. Becky was truly surprised (she thought she was coming to Arlo and Lisa's housewarming party!)

I figure, if you gotta turn 40, this might be the way to do it!!
