Everyone came to my Tourist Trap Party dressed as a tourist and brought pot luck ‘tourist food’ like hot dogs stuffed in Twinkies, a “pool” of blue jello with plastic swimmers in it, and goldfish swimming in a blue cream cheese Pacific ocean. Touristy displays were set up in the yard like “Mexico” where you guessed how many pieces of Menudo/Ricky Martin gum were in a jar, making hand and foot prints on paper plates at ‘Willis’ Chinese Theater’ and ‘Feel Just Like Elvis In Graceland’, where guests lounged in front of a swarm of cheesy Elvis artifacts on leopard chaise lounges in front of 100 buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken. This party was featured in an article I wrote for California Magazine on how to throw a great party. There was a trampoline set up to get shots of the guests in mid air for the cover.
