Mambo Italiano -- Fellini style
We're giving you plenty of notice so you can start shopping now for your décolletage -revealing cocktail dresses and black skinny ties. La Morra in Brookline is hosting a "La Dolce Vita" party on July 31 at 6:30. In the event you've been living in a cultural cave, "La Dolce Vita" is the Federico Fellini film from 1960 where a playboy/journalist (is there a difference?) bounces around the party scene in Rome, all while smitten with a film star.
Italy? 1960? Brings to mind a certain episode of "Mad Men" when Betty Draper sported the best 'do ever. Ok, back to "La Dolce Vita." You are encourged to dress for dinner in clothes of the era. Step 1: Watch the movie. Step 2: Vintage stores. Step 3: Grab $50 and make a reservation (617-739-0007).
