We are breakfasting at noon in our hotel room across the street from
our Peacock Venue at the Julia Morgan Ballroom. The party was a smash
success but our only regret was that we couldn't hang out with all of our
friends and readers who came out to cheer us on.

THE PEACOCK PARTY
It was hush hush for months and invitations were scarce but we can finally spill the beans about Splendora's Peacock Party and eBay Style Pageant. It was a night of spa treatments, handsome French chefs, and surprise guests (for the techies: Larry Page, co-founder of Google and for the star ogglers: Rosario Dawson). Emcee extraordinaire Karen Bard rocked the mic while trying to find SF's best eBay shoppers. All of the fashions modeled were totally ingenious. One brilliant contestant wore a vintage Journey tee with Jimmy Choo boots, one looked fierce in a Dolce & Gabanna corset dress, and another shimmed in a vintage flapper dress. Our first runner up and Peacock Spirit award winner wore Galliano and the grand prize winner of the $1000 shopping spree on eBay reigned in a haute Versace number. These ladies ruled the runway like it was nobody's "bid"ness.
