This is my friend Camille welcoming me to book club with a bikini martini which is not normally how we do business in our salon. Usually I shield my friends from the working side of myself (did an image of a talking horse's ass just spring to mind?), but Camille was shaking things up too with this shoulder-revealing Missoni-esque halter from Hot Mama, so let the rule breaking begin! She stepped about six degrees out of her comfort zone in purchasing this item and, holy olive tray, what a slippery slope it is. Next thing you know, she's tossing likker together in combinations that make the lighting of a match inadvisable, and reading poetry. Now if I had been running this show, the evening might have progressed like a chapter from Naked Lunch but not as pretty. That's the thing about Camille -- she can really hold her literature, and through absolutely unerring use of cutlery, cloth napkins and fresh fruit garnish, saves these events from what could easily be debauchery. Here's to Camille, shaken not slurred. She provides the following recipes that, when applied while reading, will give you new insights. Or hallucinations.
