Hello, once again!  Another fete has taken over Pine Valley, and I'm here
to give you my version of the events, along with my insightful comments on
who's wearing what.

First, let's begin with the boring stuff.  Brian admits to Dixie (Attention,
K-Mart shoppers, look what you could be wearing), he's still hurt over 
Hayley, but won't talk about it.  She turns on him, asking what kind of 
friend he is, since she opened up about Will.  She tries to get him to 
talk, but he walks out, only to come back.  They begin talking, and she
tells him he's acting tough to cover up his feelings; she tells him to 
stop beating himself up and explain his hurt.  Pretty soon, he notices
how late it is, but Dixie convinces him to stay over and watch some tapes
Opal brought over, and he does...

Now, on to the party.  Charlie (the Pat Riley wannabe) notices Hayley
(gorgeous hair, and nice navy dress; too bad the lapels were huge) is
unhappy.  She tells him what Terrence told her about growing up; he tries
to comfort her, but she misses Brian.  She admits breaking up is partly
her fault, he soon goes and An-Li (not bad, but blah!) comes by to tell
her again how sorry she is for the breakup, but Hayley turns away, and
Terrence comes over to comfort An-Li.  Later, Hayley goes over to Myrtle's
(ick! and blah!) to talk to Brian, but she finds out he's not there and
begins to suspect he's out with someone.  Myrtle tells her to stay over
and read a magazine; maybe by then he'll be back, so she does.  Meanwhile,
Steven assures Galen (pretty in pink) that Carter (excuse me, the Miami
Vice look is out!) won't show up, as he's at the door.  Later, Trevor
comes by to tell her they'll get him.  Natalie (UGH! looking more and
more matronly lately), talking to Mimi (fine as ever) about being back
at Wildwind, is a little miffed to see him talking to her; she later goes
to Galen and talks coolly to her, but Galen explains what Trevor is doing
for her, while Carter is talking to Mimi about his marriage, not saying
who he was married to.  Soon after, Galen and the others are talking when
she gasps - she sees Carter!  At the same time, Jack and Angelique (her
fashion sense is STILL comatose!) are dancing; she tells him she's very
happily married.  She's looking for Dimitri, and Jack rushes off to find
him.  Meanwhile, Dimitri and Erica (olive drab does not suit you, dear!)
are arguing; she tells him she won't be made a fool of.  She wonders why
she ever believed him; he finds out from her that Opal (is she showing
ALREADY?  that looked HUGE on her!) asked Ang. about baby plans, and
accuses her of snooping.  She tells him she refuses to go on like this;
he tries to explain his reasons, but Erica won't believe them.  He blames
her for the argument and her actions; he suggests they break up and leaves.
Jack comes by and tells her he knows about the affair.  She tries to deny
it, but end up arguing about it; he says he won't tell Ang. and she should
give him up, but she won't take his advice, even after telling her what
a liar Dimitri is.  Meanwhile, Ang. makes an appointment with Joe for an
exam; Dimitri comes back in time to share a requested dance with Ang., as
Erica looks on, and Jack looks at Erica.  She runs off in a huff, and
Dimitri follows after the dance; he tells her to meet him at the lodge
as Helga (Frau Blucher!) eavesdrops.  

Still more: Edmund tells Brooke (just two words: SCRUMP-TIOUS!) of his
Wildwind fantasy, about returning and taking it over.  Later on, Brooke
announces the fundraiser is a success, and he takes her to what used to
be his home, now the lodge, and starts having a flashback.  Meanwhile,
Lucas admits to Livia (stop with the suits; don't you own a dress?) that
he used Vivian's connections and her family to get Livia's scholarship to
try to make up what he did, but she's still angry; he explains his actions
when he was young, as Taylor (I'm allergic to roses - on dresses!) overhears
part of it.  He wishes she needed him, he says, and she starts to cry.  At
this time, Vivian (looking like grape cotton candy) bumps into Tom and
tries to get his help in keeping Lucas and Livia apart, but he trusts
Livia and wants nothing to do with Vivian; he goes, and Taylor comes by
and Vivian asks for her help.  After seeing Lucas and Livia together, 
Taylor goes over to Tom and tells him as Vivian watches on.  Meanwhile,
Livia is glad Lucas told her what he did and they kiss as Tom looks on
(Vivian gleefully tells Taylor the seeds of doubt have been planted).
He goes, but comes back after Lucas goes and accuses her of being indecisive.
He tells her she must choose; she says it meant nothing, but he won't
believe it and goes.

That's the update, but let me give you my thoughts on the other ladies who
didn't do much today.  Gloria looked okay, but the color was too bland.
Phoebe looked great in a seafoam suit, Mona looked dreary in red, Ruth's
outfit was a great midnight blue, but the bows should be in a young girl's
hair, and Enid looked like her personality: prim, proper, and BORING!
I took off points for anyone in long sleeves under fifty (Opal, Ang.),
wearing a shawl (Erica, Natalie, Vivian), or wearing a suit (Livia).
Ladies, it's summertime, not October!  Well, that's it for now; see you
at the next social event!
