Mixology 101

The Blue Hawaiian Cocktail
The Blue Hawaiian cocktail has been around since 1957 when a bartender by the name of Harry Ye who  was working at the Hilton Hawaiian Village decided to mix pineapple juice, rum, curacao with sweet and sour mix. It's also the name of a 1961 film starring Elvis Presley.

 The best part about mixing this concoction is it's so easy to make and doesn't cost a fortune so it makes a fantastic, inexpensive, impressive punch. 

I love this drink because it's a darling to decorate with pineapple and umbrellas. 

At its simplest, it is a bottle or two of plain or coconut-flavored light rum, a bottle of blue curacao, a can of pineapple juice, and a bag of ice, mixed together in a beautiful punchbowl. The Blue Hawaiian is ideal for a Hawaiian themed soiree or toga party as this is a seasonal cocktail and is often considered a summer or warm weather drink

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces pineapple juice
  • 3/4 ounce white rum
  • 3/4 ounce vodka
  • 1/2 ounce lemon juice
  • 1/4 ounce sugar syrup
  • 1/2 ounce blue Curacao
  • Ice
  • Cherry and a pineapple wedge and cocktail umbrella/swizzle stick(for serving)

Directions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, combine pineapple juice, lemon juice, vodka, rum, blue Curacao and sugar syrup. Shake and strain over ice. Serve with a cocktail umbrella, swizzle stick, cherry and a pineapple wedge.

Lights, camera, action

Last week, I audtitioned for a part in a theatre company and got in. Bombshells like the limelight, even us shy kittens. When we shine brightly we can be blinding, but when we flickers to a dim glow, well... you'd probably prefer not to know about it. We are used to people paying attention to us. It's our part in life to be admired. It is a reason very few people see us "sans make-up"! It's a famous bombshell tradition to always receive a bouquet of flowers after the first and last show in a season. I look forward to it so much! Bombshells, if nobody is giving/sending you bouquets, send them to yourself. You deserve it. Courtsey, take the compliments and sign your autograph with finesse!

Louis Vuitton Barbie

This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous with a '70's style thing going on here. And I have to admit I am rather ever so slightly envious of her abundance of accessories. Lucky plasticated bombshell... A Barbie for grown up girls? I think so. Though I have a feeling my little girl would confiscate it from me. I, kittens, am confined to the boudoir today as I suffer from consumption. Ok, not quite consumption. A case of hypochondria perhaps. And a post-nasal drip. Though I might just roll out of bed for one of these beauties. I don't know what one of these gems would cost. Anyone? Are they still available? Who knows..  But for now, I shall just roll over and get back to Club Duvet.

No More For Vanessa And Johnnie

After 14 years as a couple, raising their two children 12 year old Lily-Rose and 9 year old Jack, actor Johnny Depp and his french girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have decided to go their separate ways. I thought it was so romantic for him to buy a private island for them to share together.  These things remind us that nothing lasts forever. Separation.  Was it clash of ego? Was it addiction difficulties?  Confusion of priorities?  What a crying shame and such a common thing to happen, especially for celebrities.
