Book Release Party - Celeste
August 25th, 2007

I am probably the only writer in the world who holds her Book Release Party outdoors on the hottest day of the year, with no books! But everyone still came and seemed to have a great time!!!
They also brought enough food to feed an army!
Special thanks to Isaiah, Pops, Tony, and Christian for their great pix!!!

Nervous as all hell and on very little sleep, but still able to look pretty for the camera!	It's not a party for Pops and Steve unless they can fix something!
Now it's a party!	"So let me tell you how we fixed the fan..."
Chillin' with Matt, who I've been friends with for 18 years.	G looking pretty on one side of the pool...
...and Elizabeth looking pretty on the other!	Manly men drinking their malt beverages!
We are the black sheep of the family... BAAAAA!	Which I guess makes them the white sheep...
The elusive Isaiah actually in a picture...	I can't imagine what I was talking about here...
Here I was making fun of Tony...	I don't get how people think Tony and I look alike...
Here's Lisa showing off her counting skills...	I get along very well with my 'little' cousin.
...And people say I'm pale...	All the "DeCostanza Divas" together, having a girl talk...
Victor and Nee Nee hanging on either side of the pool.	Nee Nee and Tony being adorable!
Nee Nee knows how to bring all the handsome men to her side...	If my hands were tied, I'd have a tough time talking!
I swear... Scouts' honor!	See, the rumors are false! Victor and I can be in a picture together!
See, we even did it twice!!!	I think this was the first time Nee Nee and I were actually both standing still!
Handsome men were just all over my backyard!	Nee Nee made sure to keep her eye on them... lucky girl!
Matt and his fiancee Shana are just too cute for words!	Maggie, Lisa and Cousin John laughing in size order!
Looks like serious discussion going on here...	Meanwhile, on the other side of the backyard...
C is smiling pretty for the camera...	Doesn't it look like C and I are holding court here?
It's good to pay homage to us!	"The 'h' is silent!" "No it's not!"
Whatever! We still look good!	Nyah! Nyah!
Nope, still don't see how we look alike...	Maudy was the official banker of the evening.
"Geez, Nee Nee! Did that hurt?" "Nah, just tickled a little..."	Steve serenedes the crowd.
G and me... friends for 15 years!	'Mark of Celeste' drawn in gel by Victor
Dessert brought by everybody!	Cousin John and Maggie, adorable as usual!
Everyone is acting weird... and this is before the sugar rush!	Pictures were being taken all over the backyard!
I have no idea what they were all looking at...	The fun lasted way into the night... we even had fun cleaning up!
