I remember going to the cinema to see the original "Animal House" movie starring Jim Belushi and Tim Matthisson. I know it was sometime in the late 70's but the whole parody of the fraternity life, the music, I could not get that song out of my head, "It makes me what to shout!". I too wanted to have a toga party!
So when I opened my first hair salon, Town & Country Headquarters, that first Halloween I had a toga party! I have a photo somewhere of me dressed in a toga sitting in a grocery cart I borrowed from the neighboring Safeway store with a laurel of leaves around my head! We had a blastie blast that Halloween!
I am ready to "shout" again as I recently read author, Will Clarke's new book, "The Worthy"! An edge of your seat read that is what I call "Animal House 2007". The story revolves around a fraternity house brother who gets killed during a hazing and comes back to set things right. Currently, the book is now being made to a movie and being filmed on the L.S.U. campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Though Will Clarke now lives in Dallas, he's a Shreveport boy who has written one leopardlicious of a read.
Now Will was suppose to come to my annual Pulpwood Queen Girlfriend Weekend and caught that dang flu bug with 103 fever, the whole nine yards. Fully recovered, he has consented to my rain check and is now coming to my next Pulpwood Queens of East Texas Book Club meeting in Jefferson. In fact, we are throwing a TOGA PARTY in his honor and apropos as it is the month of Spring Break frivolity! The event is as follows:
March 13th, 2007
Tuesday
6:30 p.m.
at
Beauty and the Book
210 West Austin
Jefferson, Texas 75657
(located directly across from the historic Excelsior Hotel in downtown Jefferson)

It's a Toga Party so are you "worthy"to wear, in keeping with the Pulpwood Queen theme of animal print, leopard or zebra sheets! We'll have a best Toga Contest with Will as the judge.
All I can say is go for it!
Will Clarke will be giving a book talk, time for questions and answers, followed by a book signing in our Leopardlicious "Animal House", Beauty and the Book!
