For the past few years I’ve done public birthday parties and anyone and everyone was always invited. This year, a couple friends suggested that I do something a bit smaller…so I put on a vintage dress and wiggled my way down to Beauty and Essex for an intimate thang thang. Here’s what it looked like…
