HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY 2015<\/h1>\n

I hope that we all have as fabulous a holiday celebration as I<\/em> did at Fred Deni and Jim Crystal’s annual pre<\/em>-4th fete.\u00a0 This may be the last year that they do it, (because it’s such a gargantuan undertaking,) so they went out with an extra<\/em> bang; I just hope that their overflowing guests appreciated it as much as Mr. X and I always do.\u00a0 (I’m still too exhausted from all the reveling to write about it anew, so please check-out my “review” of their 2013<\/em> edition, which follows the same pattern as this one, here:\u00a0itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/holiday-happy-fourth-of-july-2013<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

When Mr. X and I were on the way home from Fred and Jim’s last week-end, I said that now I can’t think of anything to do on the actual<\/em> holiday because this soiree had it all: unbelievably delicious food, great live music, a relaxing secret \u201cVIP Room,\u201d (to be away from the kids in attendance,) and, perhaps most important of all\u2014fireworks that we didn’t have to move a muscle to see! I concluded that no party could beat this one, so why even try<\/em> for plans on the real<\/em> 4th?!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The C4 flag belt that I’ll be rocking all week-end.<\/p><\/div>\n

But, no matter what I will be doing<\/em> this week-end, I know what I’ll be wearing<\/em>. Ever the patriot, I’ll be rocking red, white, and blue, of course. \u00a0Since I’ve worn-out all of my many (yes\u2014many<\/em>) usual items of 4th of July attire, I was thrilled to recently discover the most adorable belt from C4 Belts. \u00a0Already a fan of this company that allows you to mix-and-match the actual belt with the buckle, (I also own a neon pink one, and a black-and-silver combo,) I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a flag belt! I tortured myself trying to decide between a blue or red buckle.\u00a0 Guess which one I chose?\u00a0 I’ll give you a second.\u00a0 Spoiler alert\u2014here comes the answer–I finally went with the red, and it looks great! (Wasn’t that worth thinking about?)<\/p>\n

Whatever you do for July 4th, (or wear, or eat, or say,) I hope you make it a fun, peaceful, and safe one for all! I myself am taking tomorrow<\/em> off, to give myself a much-needed three-day week-end. I hope you get to do the same.<\/p>\n
