I'm Planning a Rat Pack Christmas Party
For those of you too young to know, the Rat Pack was a group of celebrity friends and buddies that whooped it up in Las Vegas and elsewhere in the 50's and 60's. The main members of the Rat Pack were Frank Sinatra (unofficial leader of the Pack), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and sometimes Shirley Maclaine. They were known for drinking, smoking cigarettes, and having a good old time, as well as being great entertainers.
This year my husband and I are hosting our annual neighborhood Christmas party and it just happens to fall on what would have been Frank Sinatra's 94th birthday - December 12th. Since there is a Rat Pack Christmas CD and I love Frank Sinatra, I decided to make this the theme for the party.
This lens is still a work in progress! The party is on December 12th.
