'The New Four C's - Champagne, Cupids, Carats and a bit of Chanel = Valentine's at Virginia's

Glamorous guests were invited to Virginia Monday's La Jolla seaside home (designed by Henry Hester) February 12th, 2008 for 'Champagne and Valentine Fare.' Champagne corks popped bar side, whilst the Hyatt Regency La Jolla served up bite size sushi, mango quesadillas and other perfect fare for the afternoon's purpose. Virginia invited guests to celebrate each other 'woman to woman, heart to heart.' And they did.

A little added fun was provided by two psychics. Everyone came out from their session with a big smile!

Among those enjoying the fun were Jeanne Larson, Marie Olesen, Judy Corrente, Marie Burnett, Rusti Bartell, Maggie Watkins, Diane Clarke, Phyliss Parrish, Margo Schwab, Sook Hansen in Chanel, Jeanne Jones, Fran Golden, Geri Ann Warnke, Dixie Unruh, Carol Chang, Mac Canty, Marilyn Boesky, Diane Bell, Carol Sonstein, Nanette Martin in purple, Lael Kovtun, Susan Kazmarek, Joyce Glazer and Virginia's very cute dog Sam.

There were lots of sparkling carats worn, a good bit of Chanel and lots of champagne fun. The party was scheduled to go until 5 pm but didn't wind down until 7pm. It was just that fun!

For those on the way out, Virginia's dining room displayed a plethora of inviting Cupid inspired cookies.

Happy Valentine's to the woman that's all heart, Virginia Monday!
