          Richard Wellington, this evening’s host: fashionably frenetic, elegantly anxious, aflutter but not unkempt, doing just enough to lift a finger, and lifting a finger just high enough to direct the maids; fluffing large urns of glossy white begonias and dusting the mahogany and mauve chaise-lounges; readying love-seats and settees for several sophisticated derrieres; reflection-hunting, plucking and preening, balming his lips before a polished silver platter, summoning the best looking Blood Mary he can in every mirror he passes, and pausing once to correlate his findings with an ivory-detailed hand-glass in the boudoir; caressing subtly perfumed locks of twice-conditioned hair into black-and-blond poetry.

          Ten vases of twenty roses each, fifteen bottles of champagne, ice sculptures, candlelight.  The valets gather by the drive, pretty and attentive and uniform as cake-toppers. On a high shelf, in a small back room, a dozen framed pictures lie face down. The rightful owners of the manor, far away upon some distant strand, eyelids-deep in their innocent bliss.  No resemblance to our fine-feathered host.  No relation.

          But Richard is not nervous. He has promised himself a life amongst the stars, and the first of his glittering guests has arrived.  He will host galaxies in his lifetime.

well, friends, happy new year! i must admit that when i took pen in hand (or rather, laptop in lap) and embarked on reviving richard wellington, i had not the faintest inkling that i could possibly hit over 800 followers with such a small and relatively obscure character. over the past few months, i’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with some fantastic writers, making some fast friends, and reading countless lovely pieces of writing on the dash. i appreciate every single one of you for sticking with me and my misleading url and thank you all for giving me one more reason to smile! so without further ado, here are some of the guests of honor at richard’s all year (???) soiree ~ !
