Siege's two favorite things are Katie and New Orleans (well, maybe New Orleans comes in 3rd or 4th place after a couple other things I can think of), but regardless, Siege invited a feisty mix of people to come over on Tuesday night and celebrate Katie's birthday Mardi Gras style! Here's the birthday girl presiding over the early guests! ˆ katie ˆ crowd ˆ party ˆ

Cynthia, Rene and Nina. ˆ cynthia ˆ nina ˆ rene ˆ

Siege is a photographer and on special occasions he'll set up one of his fancy cameras on a tripod and tuck it away into a hidden little room with a remote shutter trigger so that people can take photos of themselves! Here's Siege, Mara and Javier. ˆ javier ˆ mara h ˆ siege ˆ photobooth ˆ

Nina and Jason. ˆ jason ˆ nina ˆ mask ˆ photobooth ˆ

This is Ellen's friend Terry. He doesn't know it yet, but he's in for a wild night. ˆ terry ˆ photobooth ˆ

The photo booth is great because it allows you to retrospectively trace the trajectory of the party. The first few photo booth pics are tame, but as the night goes on, they start to get friskier. Here's Siege and a couple of bemasked ladies I don't recognize! ˆ siege ˆ mask ˆ photobooth ˆ

Hahaha. This photo literally makes me LOL every single time I see it. The Fatty and Marina getting frisky in the photo booth? ˆ fatty ˆ marina ˆ hat ˆ photobooth ˆ

Who knew? ˆ fatty ˆ marina ˆ hat ˆ photobooth ˆ tongue ˆ

Hahaha. ˆ fatty ˆ marina ˆ photobooth ˆ point ˆ

Elisabeth and Cynthia. ˆ cynthia ˆ elisabeth ˆ photobooth ˆ

Outside of the photo booth, the party was most definitely starting to gain momentum. ˆ amanda ˆ astra ˆ ellen stagg ˆ nikki ˆ scott ward ˆ crowd ˆ party ˆ

Wendy cracking open a fresh bottle of rose. ˆ wendy ˆ wine ˆ

Marina and the Fatty! ˆ fatty ˆ marina ˆ

The lovely Astra and me. ˆ astra ˆ me ˆ

Yep, most definitely moving towards a good time. ˆ crowd ˆ party ˆ

That is one happy arm. ˆ siege ˆ wendy ˆ boobs ˆ tongue ˆ

I'm no statistician, but I'm going to go out on a limb and hypothesize that there is most definitely a positive correlation between drinking straight from the bottle and NAKED TITS! ˆ astra ˆ boobs ˆ drink from the bottle ˆ wine ˆ

Hahah. I think I was just looking for an excuse to say "naked tits." How about we go back to the photo booth pics and see what's going on? ˆ boobs ˆ mask ˆ

Yep, it seems the nudity trend was holding true elsewhere. ˆ nikki ˆ boobs ˆ photobooth ˆ

Hahaha. ˆ wendy ˆ boobs ˆ photobooth ˆ

Siege and I were starting to get concerned that the male to female "visible nipple ratio" was getting too imbalanced so we decided to try to even things about a bit. Peek-a-boo, ladies! ˆ me ˆ siege ˆ nipple ˆ photobooth ˆ

Scandalous! ˆ me ˆ siege ˆ nipple ˆ photobooth ˆ

Yes! Ellen's friend decided to step up and lend his nipples to our cause. ˆ ellen stagg ˆ photobooth ˆ

Amanda and Jen. ˆ amanda ˆ photobooth ˆ

Whoaaaa-uh-huh-huh. Uh-huh-huh-huh. (That was my Beavis & Butthead impression in case you were wondering). ˆ amanda ˆ photobooth ˆ

Air guitar and lacy bras. Yep, just another night at Siege and Katie's! ˆ amanda ˆ scott ward ˆ photobooth ˆ

Siege and Jenne. ˆ jenne ˆ siege ˆ photobooth ˆ

Jen and the Birthday Girl. ˆ katie ˆ photobooth ˆ

Hahaha. Siege gives Annie a little bit of teeth. ˆ annie ˆ siege ˆ photobooth ˆ

Awww. ˆ annie ˆ siege ˆ photobooth ˆ

Jenne and Astra. I love this photo so much. ˆ astra ˆ jenne ˆ photobooth ˆ

Around 11, everyone congregated in the living room... ˆ crowd ˆ party ˆ

...to watch Siege deliver Katie's very special birthday cake! ˆ katie ˆ birthday ˆ cake ˆ candles ˆ king cake ˆ

Happy Birthday, Katie! ˆ katie ˆ birthday ˆ cake ˆ candles ˆ king cake ˆ

Katie's birthday cake was special because it was a King Cake! The King Cake has a tiny plastic baby baked into it, and whoever finds the little baby in their piece of cake is declared The King (or Queen) of the party and that means that WHATEVER they say, goes! Ahhh, the possibilities. ˆ birthday ˆ cake ˆ king cake ˆ

This year, the winner was... ˆ mara h ˆ siege ˆ terry ˆ

...Ellen's friend Terry! None of us really knew Terry that well - so after he found the baby in his piece of cake, people started explaining to him that since he was THE KING, everyone at the party would have to obey his every command or face PARTY BANISHMENT! ˆ terry ˆ baby ˆ king cake ˆ

The party settled in around him as he donned his KINGLY TIARA, and anxiously waited for him to start ordering people to do all sorts of terrible and wonderful things! But after a couple of decidedly non-action-packed moments had passed, it became apparent that we had a SHY KING on our hands! ˆ annie ˆ fatty ˆ marina ˆ terry ˆ king ˆ

Now, those in attendance at this particular party can fairly be called MANY things...but shy is not one of them. After it became clear that the King wasn't going to force people to do TERRIBLE AND FILTHY things, a bunch of the girls took it upon themselves to drag Terry into the photo booth for some Kingly lovin'. I love this photo so much. Are you ready, Terry? ˆ terry ˆ photobooth ˆ

They even went so far as to loosen him up with a drink or three first. ˆ nikki ˆ terry ˆ photobooth ˆ

And then, BLAMO! Hahaha. I love how the three girls have so smashed Terry into the corner that he's all but disappeared except for his hand, which he's holding up in the air. (Which, in retrospect, seems like the least interesting thing that you could be doing with a hand in a situation like this. KING FAIL!) ˆ astra ˆ nikki ˆ terry ˆ Girls Gone Wild ˆ photobooth ˆ

I think Mel Brook's said it best... ˆ nikki ˆ terry ˆ photobooth ˆ

"It's good to be the king!" ˆ astra ˆ nikki ˆ king ˆ photobooth ˆ

Hahaha. ˆ amanda ˆ scott ward ˆ photobooth ˆ

After you're done laughing at this photo, make sure you look at Niki's right ass-cheek - the shutter was clicked right at the moment of smack-impact and you can see the shockwave traveling across her bum! ˆ annie ˆ nikki ˆ best ˆ photobooth ˆ smack ˆ

Katie went up to the second floor to rain Mardi Gras beads down on anyone willing to show their tits. Hahaha. ˆ katie ˆ beads ˆ mardi gras ˆ

Just like real Mardi Gras! ˆ beads ˆ mardi gras ˆ

Hahaha. ˆ astra ˆ jenne ˆ boobs ˆ

Look how happy Siege is. Mardi Gras is like Christmas morning to him. ˆ siege ˆ beads ˆ happy ˆ mardi gras ˆ

Me and Sarah. ˆ me ˆ sarah h ˆ beads ˆ

Around 2am, the party had gotten smaller (hey, it was Tuesday night!) but was still going pretty strong. ˆ crowd ˆ party ˆ

Girl, you know you can't just go shaking your booty in a thah-thah-thong at Siege and Katie's house... ˆ katie ˆ nikki ˆ girl on girl action ˆ

...and not get a face up in your kit! ˆ katie ˆ nikki ˆ siege ˆ best ˆ girl on girl action ˆ rim ˆ

Here's Astra and Katie getting ready to give the birthday girl... ˆ astra ˆ katie ˆ best ˆ birthday ˆ

...a DOUBLE-BARRELED BRONSKY! Epic. ˆ astra ˆ katie ˆ best ˆ birthday ˆ boobs ˆ bronsky ˆ

I stayed super late and helped clean up. Here's the last photo of the night of me and Siege getting ready to take the garbage out! Happy Birthday, Katie! ˆ me ˆ siege ˆ photobooth ˆ thumbs up ˆ
