Happy Birthday Amy!!

After a successful close of 700 Wives,

I briefly joined the cast for our Last Supper at a nearby diner -- but only briefly because I had to scoot down to the Village for the lovely Amy Staub's thirtyish birthday party.

Amy's Cupcakes!!

For all my scooting, however, we still waited nearly an hour to be seated at the trendyish Cafetasia.

On the other hand, it took nearly an hour for the rest of the group to arrive (not unexpected from a bunch of dancers busy with performances and rehearsals -- even on a Sunday).

Seated finally, the group included my dear PUREista pals Maria and Lisa:

Hannah Nour and her intently-focused pal:

The Glamour Twins, Ranya and Bozenka:

And what party would be complete without the fabulous Darshan??

Bellyqueen's Anasma and Amar Gamal (joined by Anasma's acting teacher) dropped by after the BQ's rigorous Sunday rehearsal:

We brought our own cupcakes to the party, but mysteriously, the restaurant failed to serve them until most of the group was gone!

But this worked out, since they charged us something like $2 per head -- not per cupcake. :-> (I hate when restaurants do this: You've already spent a fortune on food and drinks; you've brought your own special birthday dessert, and then they charge you to eat it in the place).

Well, no matter. It wasn't hard for us to vacuum up every last cupcake:

More and More Cupcakes!

Leaving only a sad little candle on an empty plate:
