Fat Phoebe

Recently I sent letters to my best friends, something we've wanted to do for a few years now. I should be getting the first reply tomorrow morning! :) Definitely something I'm excited to wake up to!

Me and my bestie have been planning a few "girlie" occasions. One of which is monthly "Fat Phoebe Parties." The idea and name comes from Kate Brian's Untouchable in the Private series, which the two of us are crazy fans of.

According to the girls in the book, there once was a girl named Phoebe (who may or may not have been fat). She'd get depressed sometimes, and as a result would send for expensive chocolates and champagne to cheer herself up.

And so a party tradition was born. If one of the girls got depressed, her friends would throw a Fat Phoebe Party to get her spirits up (In other words, chocolate, champagne, and tears, all around!)


Out of our love for this book (and chic parties and traditions in general) we're doing monthly Fat Phoebe Parties, even if no one is depressed. It'll be a time for venting, watching chic 60s movies, and gorging on chocolates, Chinese food/pizza, and champagne.

Alas, since none of us are yet 19 (the legal drinking age of Ontario), sparkling water and Italian sodas will most likely be substituted for the champagne. Though we do have a few friends with fake IDs ;)
