often times when people say, "a picture doesn't do it justice" they are referring to the grandeur or beauty of a place. in this instance, however, when referring to mr. hollywood's staircase royale, i simply mean...this staircase is mean.
very, very mean.
it's green & it's mean.
it's a mean green never-ending staircase machine.
a few years later, we made it up the stairs...
and this glorious saturday night served as our first one-on-one date with mr. & mrs. hollywood [a.k.a. spitzer & mardirossian] and doubled as the long awaited, highly anticipated, release party for cotie's catering...just another additon to 'cotie's custom creations'.
after carrying the arsenal of gadgets and goodies up the everest-esque stairs, we began our preparation for the evening: sampling the wine, heating up the food, sampling a little more wine, lighting a few candles...
snapping a few photos in the bright hollywood sunshine
[no this is not a link, i just can't make it go away!!!!!]
setting the table...
un-manning the ferocious cactus who attacked calle's behind...
admiring our handy-work....and gary's unbelievable canyon views...
and, finally, one beautiful table later, the festivities began.
we shared life stories and created new memories.
and the next morning, we decided two things:
1] the only thing missing the previous evening was mr. & mrs. smith.
2] this will most definitely become a monthly gathering
it is on weekends like this we realize just how fortunate we are to live in sunny southern california & to have a group of dynamite friends with whom we can enjoy life's simple pleasures; great wine, good food, and laughter.
with love,
nicole & calle
