"Ask your guests to dress Cowboy and Cowgirl Chic! Think sexy western style leather boots, boho chic maxi dresses, American Indian turquoise jewelry and more!" gushes Kemble. "If anything goes wrong, or anyone offends you during the party, the correct way to throw 'shade' is to simply say, 'Bless Your Heart.' In the South that’s pretty much how we politely say 'Bye, Felicia!' For your fabulous affair, I suggest you recommend everyone arrive via limo, UBER, or horseback! In true Housewives fashion, flipping furniture and glass tossing should be considered acceptable! When the Housewives entertain, they always have an array of delectable delights to nosh on. I suggest some fabulous hors d'oeuvres. In Dallas, we love our Margaritas so for your party I have developed five specialty Margaritas, one for each of the Dallas Housewives. No Dallas party is complete without a…SPECIALTY COCKTAIL!!" For more expert lifestyle/party advice and celeb gossip, keep us with Steve at http://www.stevekemble.com.
