One of the things I can
enjoy a lot is the imitation game or pretending to be someone else and play the
game. You can imagine with how much excitement I wait all year round for a Halloween
party or “eid el berbara”, a Christian celebration where you get to dress up in
costumes as well—I think it’s also part of my “capricieuse” personality, shifting
moods. Good for me Halloween is coming, but, I have somehow lessened this
excitement with last week’s themed dinner at Cavalli Caffe.
Even though I have
never watched The Godfather series—a shame really—I always knew it was about
mafia and guns so I got excited. I Googled the movie theme to look for some
outfit ideas… but almost all I could find was pictures of scarily powerful and
cigar smoking men. I had only found one or two pictures of women with The
Gatsby-like uniforms. My mom dug in her closet to find a long beaded flower “sautoir”
necklace. As for me, I have managed to gather a few other accessorizes I
already had—but which I actually never wear—and contented myself with another
treasure find in my mom’s closet, a slim cut black dress with a deep cleavage
embellished with a series of sequined roses. A costume just perfect for the
night!

Enjoying ourselves too
much and not wanting to leave right after dessert, we spent the rest of the
night dancing to the sound of Tarentelle Sicilian music with a glass of Sangria wine.
