Tea Party

Lies glamour gossip and Earl Grey tea turbulent tales boiling in China cups elegant sacraments of blue-haired ladies pinkies stuck up in the air, hiding their anger or boredom or feeling their own despair. Crimson glass roses feathers and jewels crowned with wide-brim hats, trimmed gloves, lace fans and perhaps some pearls are appealing to these extravagant, fast and proper old girls The guild does not approve of cola, tortilla chips or piercings of the tongue. Invitation is by Tea Bag only. merely a device to project the status of a proper and affluent wife. Shaved legs polished nails and GiGi’s Brazilian waxing will enliven you as a part of the crowd, but may be a little bit taxing.

I really enjoyed this one: tongue-in-cheek and witty, I could almost read a double meaning into it, what with the title and the reference to tax in the final line (typo - 'seems' should be 'seem') cleverly satirical and observant, and fun to read! congrats on your win in my contest :)
