let the holiday season begin!

t-minus three hours until the official start of the mistletoe mafia's winter soiree. it's been snowing for nigh on 36 hours, and the streets of new york are still in that marvelous and short-lived state of pristine beauty--the snow has yet to be reduced to the dingy slush that typically marks the holiday season out here. of course, the peace it brings to the streets, the hush, is deceptive; as we learned earlier today, the snow is a harsh, harsh mistress! close your eyes a moment and picture, your three intrepid heroines, bundled up and braving the snow, the harsh ice crystals in the eyes and the biting wind throwing us into oncoming traffic, all in the name of holiday festivity. there was nog to be procured and we were going to let nothing stand in our way!



and now, the fairy lights are glowing softly, my apartment has been scrubbed and bleached and swept within an inch of its life. the mistletoe-substitute is being strategically placed (ask us later), and the final preparations being made. shortly, the preening will begin, and we will transform ourselves from the no-nonsense ladies of infinite competence (we cook, we clean, we kick your ass) to dangerous and delightful sirens of the evening (don't fret, there will be photos). trust us, it will be a typically fabulous troika production; if our guests let a little thing like twelve inches of snow keep them from our doorstep, much regret all around, n'est-ce pas?
the troika gives good party. and don't you forget it.
(don't worry, we'll save you some nog.)
