Our love of Phyllis Diller is genetic, I think.

Here is a photo of my mother in 1977 dressed as Phyllis for a costume party. She won a prize that night, too. (She's with my Dad, BTW.)

And just to show you what a great sport my Mom was, here is a photo of her (again with my Dad) as she REALLY looked at the time:

Fromage, that was my grandparents' "summer" cottage...even though this picture was taken in October!

I think it's great that my mother was so lovely in real life, but didn't mind "de-glamorizing" herself for fun.

Here's another photo from the actual party. She's with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a woman (to my mother's right) and seven men who spent the entire party kneeling on little roller boards!




And another of her "out of costume":

And find 7 men prepared to stay on their knees for the entire event.

I was expecting a response like that one, Mrs. M. I'm never disappointed on BWW!

She is a very classy woman. I have also heard her play the piano and she is PHENOMENAL! What a truly great lady! Miss P- LOVE the pics of your mom and dad. They seemed like a lot of fun! mom

Fang wasn't invited to the party?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 2/17/08 at 5:56pm

Hep, I suppose my Dad was "Fang"! LOL!

S-Mom, when you said she was classy and played the piano, I thought you were talking about MY mom. I was thinking, "How did she know my mother played the piano?" Then I figured it out!
