Mad Hatter High Tea Party<br />

Villa Narcissa Style<br />

The Portuguese neighborhood guests and curated outliers were the invitees<br />

to the Katrina Vanderlip Mad Hatter Tea Party to benefit the Vanderlip<br />

Heritage Fund. Joan Shriver had the funniest get up with a spoon<br />

faced mask and top hat while her son Steve sported a flourescent yellow<br />

and black striped spider hat with orange fluff and a blue feather scarf. The<br />

venue was the Villa Narcissa, and the guests were asked to share one of<br />

their most embarrassing moments at the dining room table. After a few<br />

glasses of champagne, the roars of laughter could be heard from outside.<br />
