Gone With the Wind – PROM 2010
Sitting on the patio at Bricktops, enjoying cocktails with Nashville’s Girl Friday, Ashley Kemp, I spy a group of teenaged girl dressed for the Prom sashaying down West End. What struck me was the sashay, they were literally wearing hoop skirts!
Having only heard lore of that long lost fashion trend, I jumped up and accosted them on the sidewalk. They modeled and showed me the complex construction of their gowns. I insisted on taking their picture. I couldn’t believe it, Gone With the Wind was finally back!!
A Tennessee Waltz – 2010
The Tennessee Waltz is a formal gala with cocktails, seated dinner and dancing held in Tennessee’s historic State Capitol, one of the oldest working capitols.
Our proud capitol was built from 1845-1859, designed by William Strickland of Philadelphia, the architect of the day, who considered it to be his crowning achievement and is buried in the building’s northeast corner.
Manuel’s Mountain Birthday
The legendary designer Manuel, aka the Rhinestone Rembrandt, will be celebrating his birthday on April 24th.
His annual birthday party, which attracts nearly 1,500 of the “who’s who” in the entertainment industry from across the country, is a famously good time.

Once in a Blue Moon 9
by Olivia Sarratt McCarthy
The spectacular ninth annual Once in a Blue Moon Party held al fresco at the Farm at Glen Leven on October 24th was just so…Southern. Casual yet elegant, festive but focused, the annual fundraiser for the Land Trust for Tennessee was pure down home Southern sophistication meets a good old-fashioned good time.
The NINES Party
by Olivia Sarratt McCarthy
According to numerology enthusiasts, the number nine “beseeches us to recognize our internal attributes and extend these abilities out into the world to make a positive, influential difference.”
This season, the NINES Party, a Tennessee State Museum Foundation-sponsored affair, embodied this perspective perfectly.
The Swan Ball 2009
