For her twenty ninth birthday, Chiara celebrated in style--a golden birthday--complete with this golden photo booth background.................

Cousins Toesette and Dude graciously hosted in their backyard in Brooklyn.............

And, as you can see, the party was a roaring success.............

Keekers even had a golden pickle...................

With her darling roommates who have been there for her this spring when she need their help with her recovery. Thanks girls!

The family the plays together, stays together................

They even had a golden pinata................

And golden glasses with a golden nose..................

A chance to catch up with old friends.....................

Da golden girls...................

"Want a golden pickle, little boy?".........................

Twenties movie icon, Theda Bara................

Pinocchio makes a mistake and tells a golden lie.................

With friend Bianca before the photo curtain..................

"Happy Birthday to yooooou, precious Kiki".............................

Meanwhile on the West Coast, all the Zoo cages must be empty because it's time for "Bay to Breakers"......................

Cute Hellcats do San Francisco.....................

Actually it's just the gang in their LION KING attire for the race....................

This one is rather "birdish".............

Allison is also in bird costume--I know this from another picture where she has her mask down...................

Staging site for the group..........................

And the BART goes ANIMAL KINGDOM.........................

I think this is Scar and one of the hyenas...................

IT'S GREAT TO BE KING......................

Alison's brother Taylor and his lady.............

And two fetching "characters"--animated or not. AND A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!
