Now that my sister lives with her fiance, we don’t get many chances for a “Girl’s Night”, so I was really excited when I was approached to host a movie night featuring the new Liz & Dick movie. They sent me a nice party pack with 2 copies of the movie, a special diamond ring bottle stopper (in honor of Liz’s passion for diamonds and her perfume line) and a Target gift card to gather supplies for our movie night.
My sister had to work before our movie night, so I got everything set up before she came. We had some snacks, candy and delicious drinks. I also laid out all of the fun swag for her to see.
Lil Man misses he auntie since she doesn’t live with us anymore, so of course he was right smack dab in the middle of our party. The two of them were fighting over who got to hold the bowl of Chewy SweetTarts!
About halfway through our movie night, I decided it was time for some prizes. First of all, I had to just give her the diamond ring bottle stopper as a joke. You see, she just got engaged a few weeks ago, so I handed her the ring and told her to tell her fiance that I gave her a ring that was bigger than his! She even modeled them both for us!
Then we played the drinking games, nothing special – just a card game. Her prize for kicking my butt was a copy of the Liz & Dick movie. Below she’s modeling all of her prizes from the party.
We had a great time, enjoyed each other’s company and got to watch a pretty awesome movie. We were both surprised at how intense their lives were!
“For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty and their fiery romance often called the marriage of the century was the most notorious, publicized and celebrated love affair of its day. Swarmed by paparazzi worldwide, their love affair was played out entirely in front of the media from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again. Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Liz and Dick shared an undeniable love greater than most people could ever dream of.”
I personally thought the movie was wonderful and am glad that I got the opportunity to host this fun night with my Lil Sis. Lindsay Lohan did and excellent job portraying Elizabeth Taylor. I think she was a perfect match.
I never really followed the whole romance between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to that extent. I didn’t realize what and insane and crazy, but loving romance the two of them shared. I agree, they truly were soul-mates. Liz & Dick is definitely a must see!
