tonight we're going to party like it's 1958

Check out this party that Kim, from Head of the Table, threw for New Years Eve...

The picture above looks like it came right of my grandparents yellowed photo album - love it.

Kim used Mad Men as her theme.  It's a show I'm not familiar with but it must be set in the 50's or early 60's. Instead of ushering in 2009 with Dick Clark (or is it Ryan Seacrest now) she and her guests slicked back their hair, threw on some red lipstick and pearls and welcomed 1958.

Kim had every detail covered transforming her home back a few decades.

Her guests didn't disappoint either.  From the pictures it looks like everyone ran with the theme.  Willing party guests always make for a better party.  These girls look great.

Great party Kim.  I'm filing the idea away so that I can steal it sometime and posting it here so that others can steal it too.

You don't have to be a Mad Men fan to throw this shindig.  Next New Years Eve usher in any ol' year you want - 1958, 1985, 1932 or how about 2045 and welcome the future.  

Maybe you like going with a TV show theme but Mad Men just isn't your thing - pick another show.  I'm still dying to throw a Lost party - why can't they be a New Years theme?  It's the beauty of throwing a party - anything goes, just have fun with it.
