Thordis Gets Even Scarier in 2007

Thordis Adalsteinsdottir recently celebrated a Birthday Weekend/Early Halloween here in Brooklyn and Cafe Drake was delighted to attend the festive costume party thrown at Thordis and David Herbert's Greenpoint pad. Revelers and well-wishers and those just happy to be younger than the birthday girl (all three over here, ya'll) showed up dressed to kill. Or as supernatural killers. Or their gory victims.

Hrappie A captured the prize for Best Costume - creative and unique in her vision per usual, Shoppie combined a scary black cloak and humpback with an even scarier photomask of an infamous Brazilian trannie/plastic surgery nightmare. As the birthdays grow in ascending numbers was it meant as a cautionary gesture for the year-older Thordis?

A quiet dinner followed the following evening at Cafe Drake where the guest of honor and David H joined us for West Indian vegetarian food: jerked tofu, okra with tomatoes and fennel seeds and sweet potatoes simmered with coconut, Scotch Bonnet chiles and sprigs of thyme. Dessert with a candle was a dense Fudge Pie with whipped cream and raspberry syrup. Plenty of bubbly was uncorked throughout the dinner and the early night ended with a scary movie and a satiated, tired Birthday Girl.
